Hot day on the beach

Another 100 theme challenge piece finished! This is for 45. Two Guns. This unicorn is the last one I drew when I was on my unicorn kick a few months ago. I actually sketched her the same night I started "Smiling while Rome burns" [link] but she took much longer to finish. I just had to draw a female unicorn after drawing two males.

This is a shameless summer cheesecake shot, pretty different for me. It's just a unicorn girl at the beach with her double-barrel water gun. All of the parts that make this actually functional are out of view, of course. Mmmm... thigh holsters. She ended up with red highlights because I was working on something silly for my sister and using with a really hot red that I just had to use on this one. I'm really happy with the water.

The challenging aspects: 1. Making nice sand and water textures 2. Drawing a female unicorn 3. Drawing any kind of gun whatsoever I still need to design my own unicorn style, since I'm still using a funny merger of *lone-momo's and *Kycha's unicorn styles.

The compression ate some of the sand texture. I have to do a series of strategic merges to get it set before I make it a jpg...

Pigma Micron 005 pen for the ink and Photoshop 7 for the color. I have no idea how long, but I'm getting faster.
