Rainbow Unicorn Lunara Concept

Requested from the HotS reddit, a Rainbow Unicorn Lunara skin. Unlike the rest of my HotS skin projects, I didn't start this one from scratch. I had previously done a "Unicorn Lunara" painting, which I wasn't particularly happy with, so I decided to repurpose that and use it as a base to start this new painting. Although it wasn't a particularly good anatomy reference, it did give me some good ideas about what -not- to do in my paintover, especially since I was coming back to the piece several months later, and was much better able to see mistakes I had made previously.

Completed over a 1 week period, roughly 4-5 days of work (Summer 2017). Done in Adobe Photoshop CS5
