Abomination Illithicorn V2 by DeludedHeart

Pilot Color Eno pencil sketch lined with Copic Multiliner SP (0.2, 0.5, BS). Levels tweaked in Photoshop.

This is a revision of one I did years ago, circa 2003, that can be found here: http://blackheartedhate.deviantart.com/art/Abomination-Illithid-Unicorn-4069311 .

Basically put, I wanted to corrupt something as pure as unicorn with a pretty disturbing concoction of Illithid intent. I do love me some Illithid/Mind Flayers - they'll probably show up eventually as I play mine in a current game with friends.

In any event, my DM was considering using this creepy thing in the game.

Better be rollin' high on those will saves, lemme tell ya.

Not sure if i'll be coloring this anytime soon, I may take a crack at it with color via making a copy of it but the original i'm happy with it being in black and white.

This is pretty freaking awesome. I imagine this thing's mental blast would look like a rainbow... last thing you saw before your brain gets fried. And eaten. And... yeah, I'd run if I saw this coming.

And it would prance after with such a lovely gait while those tentacles were flailing around, howling it's head off. Oh god.

And man, a rainbow Mind Blast...now that would be something to see. LOL Someone commenting about how beautiful it is then just falls over twitching. XD

Hahaha oh... oh that's hilarious. :D You're really making me want to use this in a game, too. Did you actually come up with stats to go along with this beauty? It would make a gorgeous monster manual entry picture.

I haven't, no. My GM is going to have to finnagle those bits however and i'm sure it will be downright nasty.

I was considering making a "Dire Illithicorn" too. Oh god...it's got more of the body of a big strong draft horse. Crazy times indeed. XD

I love unicorns, and this is a fabulous take on them. I'm especially fond of the tail.

DeludedHeart January 6, 2012 - 7:03AM

Unicorns are love. And thank you! I considered putting a tuft or even making it another tentacle, but thought leaving it bony would just simplify it since it's supposed to be a gaunt, twisted thing.

This is really cool concept. I love how really demonic the unicorn looks.

DeludedHeart January 6, 2012 - 7:05AM

Thank you very much!

AbberrationClarified January 6, 2012 - 8:19AM

You're welcome.:)

One of my new absolute faves. The concept of this appeals to me in every way. How can you possibly beat cephalopods AND unicorns?! <333

DeludedHeart January 6, 2012 - 7:07AM

It's a crazy idea that i'm glad looked good when put down! Or disturbing, whichever works basically. LOL Thank you too!

Now THAT is some Grade-A nightmare fuel. Excellent work! :D

DeludedHeart January 7, 2012 - 2:43PM

Thank you very much! Nightmare fuel unicorn tentacle beasts are always a plus! XD

i almost want one, but then i think about how hard i'd shit myself if it got playful and tried to scare me by popping out from the closet/under the bed, and then decide maybe that's not a great idea lol
its absolutely lovely <3
