Entry 28: What if the Zodiacs were… (Part 1)

Hey Crew!

Welcome back! How are you guys doing? How are you guys liking the Zodiac Series? I am having a lot of fun with them. We are 4 down and 8 more to go! October is going to be here faster than we think. I am definitely ready for Autumn.

Anyways, I want to share with you guys a side project I have been working on. A couple of months ago I posted a DYI Unicorno that I painted on Instagram. I also thought about doing the whole Zodiac as Unicornos. Can you see where this is going?

(Left) Cancer, Leo, Virgo / (Right) Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces

I am using this project to get better with Adobe Illustrator. I wanted to make them all be uniform. Each Sign has their own color palette. The little blushes are colored after each Sign’s main birthstone. The little charms in the mane are the Signs’ symbols. I also added each one’s ruling planet as the little birthmark on the rear end. I added the constellations on each of the Sign’s wings. The triangles you see are symbols their elements.

What do you guys think? I am loving how they are coming out. I low key want to get more of the DIY Unicornos to make mock ups of all of them. Someday.

I want to state that I am not working with Tokidoki. This is basically fan-art and a learning project.

Please go support their business. I love the Unicornos, personally. Actually, some would call it an obsession. 🤣 I am just an avid collector of cute things. https://www.tokidoki.it/

Don’t worry, I’ll be posting the last 6 of the Signs soon. I’ve got to keep you guys coming back for more. 😊

I hope you guys all enjoy the rest of your day. Remember to stay safe and to stay sane.

Until next time,

Entry 25: Long Live the Maiden

Hey Crew!

How is everyone doing? I can’t believe that it is already the middle of July. I feel like I am getting whip-lash with time, like time is either going by dead slow or lighting fast. The struggle is real. Anyways, back to the art!

Virgo the Maiden

Basic Facts about Virgo

  • Birth Dates: August 23 – September 22
  • Ruling Planet: Mercury
  • Element: Earth
  • Symbol: The Maiden
  • Virgos are the logical type. Always thinking and planning ahead. Loyal friends and great people to ask advice from.

So apparently, Mercury is really pretty! It is defiantly worth a second for a Google Image search. I wanted to have Mercury as the focal point. I am also really digging the texture that the sponge adds to the piece. What do you guys think?

Trees. Trees are the freaking worst. I have just accept it as fact. The struggle is real. But I think it came out OK. There are 2 more Earth signs to go after this. More trees or something else? You’ll just have to come back and find out for yourself.

I think I have solved the problem of the constellations. Do you agree? Have you spotted the hidden Maiden? I think I made it a bit trickier this time. 😉

I think that is all for today. I am going to go take a nap. Remember to take care of yourself. If your body is telling you you need a nap, take that nap. Remember to get of food and drink some water. If the weather is nice, head outside for some fresh air and sunshine! Even if it is just for ten minutes. Your mental and physical health comes first. Remember to stay safe and stay sane!

Until Next Time,

Suzanna 🌙
