#ARTEXPLOSION WEEK 43 ENTRY :THEME MYTHOLOGY ("Unicorn Head: Huntsman's Trophy")

"Dream Huntsman's Trophy:Diamond-Galaxy Unicorn's Head"

Mythology is a thing that is fictitious or a thing thats not really exist but believing on them.
Hunters are using animal's head as a trophy for them, specially if they killed or catch an animal that have a very rare identity or have a massive size. I assure that every hunter having that dream.

This art is a expression of the myth of unicorn. Its a hunter's animal head trophy it is a mythical animal. This is a paper mache of diamond-galaxy unicorn.

Short Story About My Art

This huntsman is also a artist. One day he had a dream that he was on a mythical place. He saw many mythical creatures. This place is like a galaxy. All flying and floating creature is like a star that is floating. He saw all creatures are lovely and so kind.
But there is a horse with one horn, looks like a diamond-galaxy that is not the same as the others but its look so lovely and very kind creature. So the huntsman walk slowly towards to the stunning Unicorn and he cant resist the beauty of it. Even the unicorn seems so aggressive. Suddenly unicorn aggressively run pointing his metalic horn to the huntsman. Then the hunter was stabbed with the horn, that he slowly becoming a diamond and the huntsman-artist woke up.
After waking up, he started make an art of what he had dream.

Process

I grid the chipboard for the measurements.

I started cut the shapes to make my unicorn make it looks like a diamond.

Then I started to connect the shaped that I cutted earlier using some masking tapes and at the same time I started to paper mache to make it more steady.

This is what it look like after I finished glued the papers.

Before and after putting a tissue papers using gawgaw paste or glue.I glued a tissue paper to cover the edges of the papers.

Before and after I painted it with white acrylic. I used white acrylic to primer or as base color of the unicorn.

Then I started painting it using *blue, red, yellow and white acrylics*. I mixed the red and blue to make violet, blue and yellow for green and white and each color to lighten the saturation of the color. I used a cotton to blend the colors to the subject. I painted it starting from the nose with black to blue and slowly lighten the color to its neck with color yellow. You can add some a bit of color like I did to the bottom of its horn, I put orange.

I used a toothbrush to make a stars. You should put a stars to justify the effects of the galaxy.

This is what it looks like after. And I also colored the horn and hair with black acrylic.

Then I started putting the paper tape with the spacing provided for the black lines

This is what it look like after I painted the some black line with acrylic and removed the paper tape.

I started putting vinyl sticker to its horn and hair. Leaving a portion for the black lines. For the effect of the diamond. I used a shimmer vinyl to make it more catchy. ![qara-xett.png](
