I know I've been AWOL for quite awhile. That's how my life seems to go - my time and energy for art comes and goes and when really I'm stressed or depressed I disappear. But I'm back at least for now. Mainly because its that time of year again. Time for me to create my holiday Unicorn. I like this a lot but am not sure how well it would print up as a card. I have an idea for a more traditional Holiday Unicorn scene so I'll probably do that before deciding which to use.

Harry, of course, Hivewire Unicorn, Whisper, Flinks Winter Trees, Winter plants form DAZ and RDNA. PoserPro and just a little Photoshop.

*Very* nice. Yeah, printing it probably would lose shadow detail. Although a lot would depend on the printer.

Really nice Daio!!! I deal with that issue a lot in my own art/also in my design business- for printing it, what I would do is actually lighten it up quite a bit and in this case I would actually lower the contrast maybe quite a bit too. Then have a sample done and work from there. Print and screen are very different critters for sure:) Also I do make life easier for myself by having one of my computers/it's monitor have a calibration setting, just for printing. I actually have a few calibration settings set up for my monitor as various printers print differently- ie: Zazzle ALWAYS runs a lot darker. So yeah anything I have printed by Zazzle looks god awful on mot of my screens:) I always save various versions with their print calibration profile- screen vs Zazzle vs my old Epson Stylus Pro 3800 for example.

I like the ribbons on the mane @luannemarie and is that the new outfit from Daz Princess of Darkness?

Lovely image Daio!! This would be awesome as a foil print card and Zazzle does offer that option now.Foil Cards | Zazzle

I have not ordered one of the Anthem for the Angles image as a foil print, but intend to use those for my Christmas cards this year.

Although, for traditional print versions I would heed what CWRW said about the color contrast and lightness as Zazzle does tend to print darker than what appears on your screen.

And here's a more traditional (for me anyway) Holiday Unicorn. A sassy little pony unicorn gleefully absconding with the tinsel.
Harry, Unicorn, Shetland Pony, Whisper. The tinsel and ornaments were from RDNA.Fences from AS3 WinterGarden and Winter Cylcorama from Daz.
