3D: Unicorns

Ho hum. Lots of work to do. I know, lets draw some ascii pictures instead!
I carried on with the picture of the Unicorns that I posted a couple of
days ago (seems like weeks!) and I think I've taken it as far as I intend
to. This is still quite a wide picture to see, you really have to move away
from the monitor to be able to unfocus far enough. I did have the Unicorns
closer together, but they crossed over each other, so I had to put a space
back in.

(Based on an original drawing by Paul Neubauer)
I altered the tail and the mane very slightly and I gave the Unicorn more
of a shoulder. Having drawn it in dots, the stars intermingled with the
Unicorn too much, so I put a wall in behind. I tried to make it castle /
courtyard like to add to the mystical feel. The stars are the deepest level,
but they looked better separated by the wall. I didn't bring the head into
the foreground as the pose seemed good enough as it is.
What to draw next.....
