Description
ShadowWind, the horse, is gone now, but his memory lives on as a winged unicorn in the stories of enchantment and so it is with this thought, that this portait is drawn of him. It means a lot to us and I hope you like it.
The horse started out as the standard poser horse, which then was put into Bryce, added the moon, water and rock. Then it was taken into Painter to pretty much completely redo all the coloring, lighting, effects, wings, horn, etc. Signature was then added in Photoshop. Truly a mixed medium creation indeed.

Love it Shadowind So this is you ,.....NIce image
shad this is awesome a masterpiece ;-) excellent done
I didn't know you were a winged horned horsey. Now I have a whole new picture in my mind. Very nice picture.
Yes, be nice to winged unicorns, they haveto endure so much harrassment these days ;-)
OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHH shad this is most beautiful, i just absolutely love this !!
This is very beautiful...And incredible job with the post, looks almost like a dream, how I'd imagine seeing a unicorn
great to see that something else is done with the poser horse than making it pink.. nice work
nice picture i like the good choice of colure
This is utterly fantastic Shadow. I love the entire piece, from the lighting to the colors. Very nice indeed!
I like the colors, I like the pose, I like the whole overall image. Good work.
Nice work, Shadow. It reminds me of a collection of unicorn posters I once had. Great color and painting.
very nice work
thats beautiful Shadow..
that's beautiful as a background, put a title infront of it..... something like "Unicorn" (duh to me)and add more brightness..... wow
great post work
I must admit that I was not expecting to see this kind of image in ShadowWind's memory - but then my outlook, viewpoint and approach to a subject is not nearly as creative or thoughtful to have conceptualized something as beautiful and ethereal as this. To picture ShadowWind as a living, winged unicorn is brilliant, deep, and positively original in concept. I surely wish that those like 'deestilo' who take the time to add their thoughtful critique, would also take a few moments more to read the accompanying prologue. Perhaps now that he/she has graced this render by the brilliance of their presence, you will not be forced to add 'brightness' to this excellent image, and "Wings of the Unicorn' seems 'title' enough to me - but what do I know - I'm but a 2D artist! lol. I am deeply impressed by everything this image says, but even more so by that which is unspoken from your heart. Great job my friend.
Very nice image, SW. You continue to amaze me with your "painting" skills.
Excellent portrayal of a Unisys Shadow keep up the great work
My helpfull comments for inproving this pic...........thinking...........still thinking.........
That's great shadow. I like the soft focus, dreamy feel.
Firstly, racin-jason should calm down and give the antoxication a break! lol! Great Image SW! Hope I get to see some more like this!
Great image and nice to see a "real" looking unicorn rather than someting entirely impropable. GREAT Star sparkles!
Amazing! You keep doing these totally wonderful images and they are so good, this time in my fav color too..:-).
Outstanding!!!! I really like it, very well done
veeeerrry sweet nice job
The soft gentleness of this image sets the imagination wandering :)
Purple and Blue my two favoritest colors. Love the unicorn too. Anything with wings is an A1 in my book. :) Great image and love the sparkle effect on the horn.
THIS IS WONDERFUL, WELL DONE!!!
