Snowflake Challenge #2

[pronker]

Will an idealized pet suffice? This perfect drawing is of the rare and precious saola, the "Asian Unicorn" that we hope and pray roams the Annamites still. I dream of claiming one as a pet, sponsoring its survival, and perhaps one day visiting it in Laos or Vietnam. The drawing arrived as a Christmas gift from LiveJournal's generous Motetus way back in 2013. Fannishly, the name turned up in my long Star Wars fic As Clear As Mud Chapter 1, a star wars fanfic | FanFiction :) with the ungulate called an "aloas." :D

This is such a fantastic response to this challenge! Idealized pet indeed. Gorgeous drawing.

Motetus is a splendid artist and I just tonight discovered that she's also on dreamwidth, same name.

I couldn't be more pleased with it and it's framed in my office. :D

What a beautiful animal!

[pronker]

It's extremely elegant and the colors, oh my, rich chestnut and cream markings on the fur, and those oryx-like horns ... *swoons*

The saola serves as my spirit animal.
