Thought it would be fun to do a piece showcasing two very contrasting creatures from HP: Thestrals, skeletal beings synonymous with death and darkness and unicorns synonymous with pureness and vitality.

The irony is that thestrals are actually gentle creatures and the blood of a unicorn actually brings a curse to those who drink it.

I'm uploading a WIP because I'm not great with horse anatomy and want to know if any horse expects spot any really bad mistakes? Also I know the tail and fangs on the thestral look a bit comical but they are how they are described in the books- so what do you think should I get rid of them and go with the movie version? They will be at same level for the final so ignore that

This is great, especially the thestral! :D The detail in the bones is awesome, and while I can't claim to know a great deal about horse anatomy it looks like you've got it pretty much spot-on. :D If I were to make a tiny lil' suggestion I would maybe say to give the unicorn a forelock? That's just me though, I'm sure it will end up looking gorgeous either way :) .

thanks for the nice comment! :lol: I forgot to do a forelock on the second round of the sketch but I'll certainly add that forelock on the final one!
