Hi, I'm The Nearsighted Microraptor, and this is my art blog, where I share a variety of my work as well as I can.

I've got a website: https://thenearsightedmicroraptor.neocities.org/ It's home-coded and a bit of a mess, but feel free to have a look

I've also got a Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/thenearsightedmicroraptor I sell digital products such as colouring pages or adoptables. Feel free to have a look!

The kid in the cupboard

I've wanted to do some more Don't Cry art for a while, and got inspired by the way @tastysemochka arranges some of their horror art, like a comic made of imagery, or a collection in a wooden letter case, to finally get around to it. Please go check out their stuff if you like evocative horror art, it is something so special.

The 30th, and final, day of Junicorn, "titanium". A stalwart protector.

Super big thanks to @artofmisi who posted the prompt list I've been following! I didn't want to @ the account every day and flood their notifs, but since it's the final day, I find it only fitting to add a proper direct link. :3

Also, thank you to everyone who has been reblogging my unicorns! I'm very happy that they spoke to so many people!

Junicorn day 29, "gold"! I am genuinely so so proud of how far I got in this art challenge :0

I'm following the prompt list posted by Artofmisi

[IMAGE ID: a coloured pencil drawing of a goat-like unicorn lounging on a large heap of gold coins. It has a large spiraling golden horn and a golden coat. It is looking at the viewer with a haughty expression. END ID]

Junicorn day 27, "feather" and day 28, "pastel goth".

This challenge has been so fun, but I think I'm also ready to draw some other things next, haha

I'm following the prompt list posted by Artofmisi!

[IMAGE ID 1: a coloured pencil drawing of a large, brown unicorn with feathers and scaled feet, a large, feathered tail, and a horn in the shape of a single feather, lying down in a cave. There is a rainstorm outside. The unicorn is looking down at a vaguely quail-like bird with a fond expression. Another bird is perched on the unicorn's leg, and one more on its neck. END ID 1]

[IMAGE ID 2: a saddled unicorn with a headless rider. The unicorn is peach with a pink mane, tailtip, feathering, and ear tufts, and wears a pink saddle blanket and a black bridle with frills. The rider wears a loose, off-white blouse, a loose bow around their neck with a skull charm in the center, and peach pants, and has pink smoke coming out of the hole where the head would be. They wear gloves, and no skin is visible, making it unclear if there's any person in there at all. Behind the pair is a pale castle against a moonlit sky. END ID 2 - END OF ALL ID's]

Junicorn day 26, "orchid". With all the crazy shapes orchids have, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if there is a unicorn orchid out there. But I just made up my own one. :3

I'm following the prompt list posted by Artofmisi

[IMAGE ID: a coloured pencil drawing of a couple of pink orchids. The center of each orchid is shaped to resemble the upper body of a rearing unicorn extending out of the main petals. END ID]

Land does not lose its guardians just because it gets mistreated

Junicorn day 25, "mutation". What doesn't kill you makes you stranger.

I'm following the prompt list posted by Artofmisi!

[IMAGE ID: a coloured pencil drawing of a pale, deer-like unicorn with its fawn. The adult has an extra spike jutting out from the base of its horn, underdeveloped feet growing from one front leg, as well as extra toes on one hind foot. Its fawn has multiple extra horns, almost fully formed extra feet growing from its legs, a tail that splits into multiples, and multiple ears. The adult is gently nuzzling the fawn. They're standing among short vegetation, cut through by an unclean-looking stream. END ID]

Apparently it's draw a crappy comic day or something? I really wanted to draw a shitty comic but I couldn't think of a goddamn thing.

First I made that one up there ^

Then I made one about not knowing what to comic

It's kind of a bummer though. I like the little guy one better

Junicorn day 24, "Insect"! Getting a little looser with what counts as a unicorn haha. God's little cow ...

[IMAGE ID: a coloured pencil drawing of a bunch of ladybugs climbing on leaves and blades of grass. One is bigger than the others, with four little stout legs, and a body plan that allows it to turn its head, as if overlooking the rest of the ladybugs. END ID]

Junicorn day 22, "punk" and 23, "holy".

I often find the ones I draw just kind of hanging out with no background or anything to be a bit boring, but for these two, I managed to make designs that are appealing enough that I really like them regardless!

I'm following the prompt list posted by Artofmisi!

[IMAGE ID 1: a coloured pencil drawing of a unicorn walking while looking over its shoulder, seen from the side. It has a strong, deer-like body, brown fur, and a green and black mane styled into a mohawk, and matching coloured fur along its legs, on its cheeks, and at the tip of its tail. It has a long, grey horn growing from its forehead, and a smaller horn on its nose, as well as spikes down its back. The fur on its back is shaved down in a jagged stripe pattern. It has several earrings, a large nose ring, and a spiked band at the end of its long, tufted tail, as well as a floating spike bracelet around the ankle of one front leg. Both front legs have black leather bracers on, with the green fur sticking out in random places. END ID 1]

[IMAGE ID 2: a coloured pencil drawing of a unicorn with a large body and a comparatively small head. Its body is closest to a draft horse's, but more shapeless. It has a golden horn that starts as a spiral, but straightens out into a sharp point. Its nose is black and its eyes are surrounded by exaggerated, unnatural black eyelashes, styled like sun rays. It has similarly stylized ears, and a golden, flowing mane and tail that gets brighter towards the body and flows like flame. Its body is white and mostly unshaded, but the legs fade from brown to black, with feathering around the hooves that looks like black flames. A sun-like disc floats behind the unicorn's right ear. It is standing with its front half directly facing the viewer with an intense stare. END ID 2 (final ID]

Junicorn day 21, "tree". Those are some REALLYBIG oranges.

I'm following the prompt list posted by Artofmisi

[IMAGE ID: a coloured pencil drawing of a large, vaguely bovine unicorn lying on grass, with the vague shapes of trees in the background. The unicorn has a body made out of wood, as if it, itself, is a tree, and branches grow from its forehead, tangling together to make a horn. Its mane is made of leaves tightly packed with orange fruits. Its tail is an orange tree. Tiny people surround it, some climbing on it, some sitting nearby. The largest person is about the size of the unicorn's ear. The unicorn looks down at some of the people with a gentle expression. END ID]

Junicorn day 20, "vampire"! This is actually my third damn attempt at this one because my first two concepts were straight up too boring. This one, though, I really like.

I'm following the prompt list posted by Artofmisi!

[IMAGE ID: a coloured pencil drawing of a large, pale unicorn caught in the beam of a flashlight. It has a rhino-like body and a long, sharp horn, as well as long fangs. It is hunched over a bloodied shape on the ground. Its muzzle is covered in blood. It is staring directly at the viewer. Dark trees surround the scene. END ID]

Junicorn day 19, "fury". You mess with the corn, you get the horn.

Something's got to give.

I'm following the prompt list posted by Artofmisi!

[IMAGE ID: A large, fat unicorn with a rainbow mane, rearing on its hind legs, struggling against iron chains. It has the body of a horse, with a tufted tail, black, cloven hooves, and a smooth, curved, black horn. The body is pale, with faint rainbow effects in the shading. It is thrashing against chains attached to a shackle around its neck. One of the chain links is starting to give. END ID]

Junicorn day 18, "fire". Which means I'm caught up! Yippee!

I'm following the prompt list posted by Artofmisi

[IMAGE ID: A coloured pencil drawing of a unicorn seen through the trees, cast in dramatic shadows, coloured mostly with black coloured pencil. At the tip of the unicorn's horn is a flame that illuminates the unicorn's silhouette and some of the surrounding trees and bushes. The rest of the drawing is greyscale. The unicorn looks over its shoulder to gaze at the viewer. My signature is carved into the base of one of the trees. END ID]

Junicorn day 17, "western". Yeehaw!

I sketched this one on the 16th and finished it today, that's an average of the 17th shan't we say. Let's see if I can finish another one today.

[IMAGE ID: A cowboy riding a unicorn rearing on its hind legs. The cowboy is Black and has their hair in braids, tied back into a loose, low ponytail. Most of their face is obscured by a large cowboy hat, but you can see their nose and a confident smile. The unicorn is brown and mostly resembles a regular horse, but with a spiral horn, cloven hooves, a beard, and feathering on its legs that resemble the fringes on the cowboy's jacket. The vague outline of shrubberies and some cacti can be seen in the background. END ID]
