The Zunicorn

I found this today. One of my early attempts at a zunicorn card for the CAT swap. I didn't like it all all when I painted it in. The little monkey at the bottom bothered me too. I haven't seen it in a while and looking at it now I think I actually like it a little bit. It lacks some of the shading, but its OK.

I've been going through this depression about not being able to have another child (on our own or through adoption) which has only gotten worse since turning 40. I've noticed a lot of my artist trading cards, regardless of the topic, have people/animals being all snuggly and I know its related to my mood. I kind of feel like I can't actually have another baby, but I can dream about it through my art. I'm very drawn to artwork with Mommies and babies or small children. Or just happy people who are snuggly.
