Miss Unicorn
Miss Unicorn iss Unicorn, Adobe Photoshop, 2015, by Christina Oliva http://christinaolivaart.com/ http://instagram.com/binkyoliva https://www.facebook.com/christinaolivaart http://society6.com/christinaoliva http://www.inprnt.com/profile/christinaolivaart/Miss Unicorn is a fantasy pageant from the inner workings of my mind. Here is the champion of Miss Unicorn below her neon sign. The idea stemmed from a few failed attempts to make a different illustration work. I had to step away and just work the way I felt was natural. Using a friend of mine as a model, I sketched the horn onto a quick doodle of her, and I LOVED the shape. From there I just had to pick a theme, color scheme, and key pieces that would lend themselves to the composition. The grungy take on a unicorn girl came from my desire to keep it contemporary so the piece didn't slip into Arthurian style fantasy illustration, something I wasn't drawn to. The pink and neon are for whimsy, the black horn looked amazing against the pink, and the Hindu style earring was to add to the fantasy/mythology theme.

Nymph
Nymph Watercolor on Wood Panel, 2015.This is a fantasy piece done in watercolor on wood, which is a very tricky combination, but well worth the patience it takes to make them. The colors come out very vibrant and the wood grain adds so much to the composition.
