Artist's Comments

My newest side project. No, he's not a new version of my character, he's based on Indigo from The Unicorn Sonata, by Peter Beagle.

Before you say "he doesn't look like a horse!" don't worry- he's not meant to. I don't like unicorns that are basically horses with horns, and in my work I tend to make bigger heads, longer necks, and short torsos. This is done to an extreme here because I was vaguely inspired by the illustrations of Indigo from the book. Anyone who has read it remembers them I'm sure! They're very beautiful and unique unicorns, with a peculiar anatomy that certainly sets them squarely in their own species- not simply a fantasy animal based on a real life animal.

No molds or anything were used, he has a wire armature, foil bulk, polymer clay, acrylic, blue glass eyes, viscose hair. He was sold to a lovely lady over eBay last year.

See more of him in the following:

Daily Deviation

Given 2008-03-02

Indigo Doll II by *Indigo-Ocean is extremely well done and well proportioned custom unicorn, made with wire armature, foil bulk and polymer clay. This piece is characteristic of those childhood fantasies, and obviously a lot of hard work, effort and love was put into creating it! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks! I took the pictures at 7 or 8am, the lighting in that area at that time is really pretty :)
