Introducing Fantastical Equines: Unicorns and Sea Ponies of Europe

---

Fantastical Equines is a Collab art project by me (Shaiyeh) and AnnaPommes, in which we have reimagined the landscapes of Europe as Unicorns and Sea Ponies - each accompanied by an animal friend local to the area, some based around local legends.

We have each painted four Equines - two Sea Ponies, and two Unicorns, and we would like to share them with you!


:frolic: You can find the Project HERE - You can pledge until Nov 5th 2021!  (https://linktr.ee/shaiyeh) :frolic:

This is a project on Kickstarter, and you can get our art as prints, stickers, maple wood pins, and more!
You will even be able to purchase the original artworks!

Post by: Shaiyeh on October 29, 2021, 07:54:08 AM

:frolic: Bumping this! :frolic:

All artworks have now been revealed (or have they? Stay tuned - we might still have a little something up our sleeves. :silly: ) and the first post has been updated to show them :D


Also, in case anyone missed it in the post and would like to know - there's one week left on the project to pledge! :)
The project is at about 80% as I'm writing this, so if you want stickers, pins or even an original artwork, you have one more week to back the project!

Thanks all for having a look, and thank you everyone SO much for your support and kind words!!
