The art keeps coming - Unicorn edition

This is why I didn't want to draw a unicorn myself: Unicornelius. A creation of my brilliant fiance, Unicornelius is living proof that just because your a unicorn, it doesn't mean you're cool.
This has me thinking: it's much easier to post other people's art than it is to actually make my own. So if you have any sweet MS Paint drawings, any doodles you've drawn during boring meetings that you can scan and send my way, or if you want to create a Unicornelius fan-fiction graphic novel, please send that stuff my way!

My latest work

A few of you suggested that I rebut Brigit's pony with a unicorn. I have three reasons why I ignored you. First, do you really think I'm going to just slap some extra details on a drawing my sister made and then call that art? Never. That's just not how I roll. Second, Beth has the unicorn-drawing market cornered in my house. I'll have to get a copy and post it here, although I'm not sure I want to drag an innocent person into this battle. Third, I've been tinkering with a little something else for your viewing pleasure, so without further ado.....

...I will describe at length what you are about to witness. First, I want to say that I actually drew this. And when I say drew I mean that I used a photograph from online as a template, then actually drew what you are about to see in Paint with pens and brushes and paint cans. I did not just press some magic button that altered the colors in the original picture. Second, I am actually really proud of this, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

New art from Brigit

I actually kind of like this one. Guess I'm just a sucker for ponies.




I'm gonna have to step my game up now in order to respond.

Update II

Word is, my sister may be somewhat distracted at the moment (Hi, Granger!), so I decided to help her out by finishing her earlier work. You're welcome.


Art War - Update

Here is my sister's clarification of her previous "art." I do appreciate the clarity, although I find the subject matter a bit disturbing.
She promises more art to follow. But don't worry, I'll be ready for it....


....by sitting next to a BARF BUCKET!!!

Art War



It seems that after I criticized a recent crappy drawing of my sister's, she took offense at my discerning artist's eye. We now find ourselves in the midst of an art war. It began simply enough:


--------------------------




Brigit Moore to me May 1 (2 days ago)
whatda got?



In reply, I allowed her to feast her eyes on the drawing as it was meant to look:


--------------------------
Eric Moore to Brigit May 1 (2 days ago)



Clearly defeated in the realm of canine renderings, she chose a different tack:

--------------------------
Brigit Moore to me (1 hour ago)






My original interpretation was that this drawing was an attempt to show my admittedly difficuly-to-represent inner strength as I release my pet eagle upon the world to do my bidding. As such, I actually thought it was pretty good, with its bold use of aggressive colors and its delicate shading which defines my rippling physique. However, Brigit claims that it is actually an eagle attacking me. Because art is meant to simply convey a snapshot of a single event with no possible secondary meanings, I think the fact that this crude smear of pixels is subject to such differing interpretations speaks more eloquently to its artistic poverty than any individual less astute than myself could ever hope to.

Eric Moore to Brigit (6 minutes ago)



I call this work "for i have crossed the many miles." It speaks to the coldness and desolation of the modern world, the frustrations so many of us feel in our hearts, and the coolness of aliens and interstellar travel.


No reply yet from my sister, but I will be sure to post her letter of concession when it arrives.
