An illustration made for the Bella Sara trading card game edition Baby Bella - [link]

I made three cards for the edition. One featuring the two parents, and two foal cards. My parents were Charlie as the father (a Norwegian fjord I originally made) and Mandalay as the mother. Mandalay is one of the unicorns that really just looks like "a horse with a horn". Something that bothered me a little, until I realised that this expansion could explain that by saying, that Mandalay is the child of a traditional European unicorn and a normal horse.
As such I made her a little smaller than she should have been as an Arabian breed arguing that her unicorn root had taken away some height. Also, it seemed a bit silly to have the female being considerable larger than the male. People expects it to be the other way around (although, technically, if you have to mix sizes, it would be smarter to have the female to be the larger part).
The butterflies are repeated in all three images I made. I tried to tie them together a little like that.

And yes, I tried applying a more realistic style to this edition. It was a challenge, and I learned that I much prefer making horses with linearts. X)
