Description Perhaps the last known perfect specimen known to the modern world.
These unicorns were often considered good luck if you managed to see one, and only appeared to those pure of heart.
Now, with the world revolving around science and logic, their home is no longer on the physical plane of time, but in the imaginations of human minds. And with people's imaginations slowly dwindling, they are critically endangered and risk extinction.

Save The Unicorns!
BELIEVE!!!

Brought to you by the imagination of Zhon.

Yep! Hand twisted magic sculpt, and painted with an airbrush (the pictures don't show the speckling and paint fogging well)

What is magic sculpt? Like super sculpey? I've not seen it around.

It's a two part clay epoxy that is mainly used in the taxidermy industry.
You mix it 50/50 and you can play with it like putty for about an hour before the chemical reaction within the stuff causes it to harden.
(if you'd like to give it a try, I can easily set you up for a 1lb small kit or a 5lb kit! in the colours of flesh, green, brown, black, or grey)

It does look to have a better finish than sculpy (I find that stuff can bake with this scaley texture under the surface). But then again I have about 10 KG of super sculpey knocking about my study! D= Nu exagerashun! One day I'll get good at sculpture and find the motivation to try a little harder with it. But thank you for the really thoughtful offer.

That is MAZING. I especially love it 'cause it's not made from a horse skull...glad to see someone knows their unicorns!

And just out of simple curiosity...is this for sale? If so, how much? (and if it isn't, how much would you charge for something like this?)

I love how the horn looks like it's genuinely part of the skull and not just glued on it!

...say...oh, idea/suggestion! Any chances you could get narwhal tusks? Or replicas of 'em? Because one of those on a cervid's or a goat's skull would be downright breathtaking. *dreamy*

Thank you!


This particular one is technically for sale (I still have it) but I really need to make one for my friend's Renaissance staff if this one sells. I actually will be working on 4 more unicorns (african, north american and such)

I can get a replica of a narwhal tusk, but they usually run about $200-ish.... which is DUMB! I can cast my own for cheaper if I had any real ones around.
But the next little one will have a duiker horn. The step up will have a spike tine, and the step up from that will have a gemsbok horn.
