Forest Clearing

I had some extra time laying around and was able to color a sketch I made earlier.The past few days I have been thinking of an acceptable unicorn design, and this is what I finally came up with- I'm a big fan of unicorns, but I really dislike their portrayal as horses with a horn slapped on.

I figured they would be more deer like, for maneuverability through dense forests, with the male being white for courtship purposes as well as providing the ability to lure humans away from his less brightly colored mate. I also think of unicorns as very peaceful animals, so their horns are not really used for combat as much as courting and digging for plants- so I placed them in a non-aggressive positioning, with the bony crest covering the forehead for protection, while tapering to a series of crown like marks- making them look very regal.
