I wasn't planning on uploading this one here but Grace asked me to after she saw it at DA. I wanted a simple background for the following reasons: 1st - I was feeling lazy; 2nd - I was feeling lazy and 3rd - I wanted contrast between the unicorn and that sourrunded him.
There's no actual story behind this one, so I'll let you tell me what you see for a change, based on the tittle or, if you want, you can ignore it. I've my version for this one, but I want to know what you see.

Better version

when can i find them again? My mind wants to go on through the storm, but my body rebels. I am tired, hurt . . . but my loved ones will be much more than that if i pause.
Yet I cannot keep going. I have the gifts of my kind, but not of the unicorns. I do not have their stamina. Yes, i am a unicorn, but i cannot do magic except for my powers as a GildFeather, my kind. Shall i go on? I do not know if my family will accept me, even if i do go and save them. Or should i turn my back on them, as they once did to me?

:-) Joana Figueiredo replies: "Wow! Great interpretation!"

Oh my gosh! I love this picture, all your art work is very detail and beautiful, but this must be the most detailed I've ever seen. I love the shading and everything!!!

If only I could draw and color like you... -bows to u-

:-) Joana Figueiredo replies: "Everyone seems to really like this one although I didn't really think it was that special at first but I guess I grew fond of it now 2 Thank you so much! And patience and practice are the bases, the rest is up to you 12"

That’s actually gorgeous... the detail in the mane and tail makes it so lifelike, and the background looks so wasted and barren - it’s quite saddening. What a stunning unicorn, seriously. I love the colours in the coat and hair.

:-) Joana Figueiredo replies: "Aww thank you so much! This means a lot to me! I really admire your art(both here and at dA). Thank you for tagging this!"

Está muito giro, gosto tal e qual como está, sem tirar nem pôr. Eu ás vezes (a maior parte do tempo... LOL) também sou preguiçosa por isso compreendo-te perfeitamente. Por exemplo, agora devia estar a estudar Matematica (coisa que ODEIO) e estou aqui. E nunca arrumo o meu quarto, a minha avó e que o arruma a maior parte das vezes. Odeio arrumar o meu quarto. Quais são os teus gostos musicais? Eu odeio música pimba e fado (eu odeio muita coisa XD) Gosto de Avenged Sevenfold... opa, vê o meu perfil porque não me apetece nada estar aqui a escrever todas as bandas de que gosto. (como vês, sou preguiçosa até dizer chega...)

:-) Joana Figueiredo replies: "Eu sou preguiçosa para muita coisa, mas não para as arrumações! Não suporto ver coisas fora do sítio, é um comportamento bastante obcessivo da minha parte, entro logo em parafuso XD
Ok, eu odeio essas duas coisas também, são para aí os únicos generos musicais que eu não suporto. As minhas bandas favoritas são os Evanescence, Within Temptation, Nightwish, Metallica e Linkin Park. Mas também ouço uma grande variedade de géneros(também ouço imenso Nelly Furtado que é parecidíssimo!) e adooooro música japonesa, de bandas sonoras de jogos e Animes e assim ^^
Muito obrigada pelo comentário!"
