Description I have seen The Last Unicorn (TLU) more times than I will ever know as I have owned it since I was little, I only know I have watched it A LOT and can adlib the whole movie. I only recently have had a chance to read the novel of which the film was based off of, and I recommend it to all TLU fans, the film does the book justice and even keeps many of the books original dialogue in tact, but the film leaves a lot out, like the prophecy about prince Lir, bits about mommy Fortuna and how Smendrick is a happy drunk, as well as other interesting facts.




This is only my second TLU fanart piece, the first was done with no reference at all but it came out odd and too much to my own style when done entirely off memory, so I took my old VHS cover to school w/me to use as reference, the cover image is a lame re-make image, but the images on the back are screen shots of her laying in the grass and under the moon. I used them to help maintain the unique stylized look of TLU, but I can assure you though that it is all free-hand and does not copy ANY exact pose or scene in the film. I feel confidant that I have kept to the style and feel of the film. This took FOREVER and was done with paint and prisma markers. The shading on the unicorn is actually the reverse side of the paper, I did the shading on the unicorn first, but was disappointed as the colors were too intense so I tossed the paper on the ground as I was upset, and it landed upside down, the shading was perfect on the reverse side! So I continued the drawing on the backside of the paper. I hope you like it ^_^









PS. I have heard rumors that a live action The Last Unicorn is being made!!! I hope its true as I would LOVE to see it!!!!!!!!

It's a beautiful drawing of the unicorn. I've seen the last unicorn more times than I can count and bought the book countless times (I just keep on losing luggage throughout the years of moving around, *but* I make sure I have a copy handy ). Seeing anything related to the movie/book just fills me with joy. So props
Regarding the live action movie, I've heard rumors of it getting made a while back, and it even had a page on imdb.com. But I checked it again today and the page was gone, and people were saying that the movie was given 1/3 of what Peter S Beagle had wanted, and that they were going to film the movie with a horse (*gasp) and CGI it later. So last words were that the author would rather they not make the movie than they butcher his creation... sadness...

Very beautiful, this is one of my favorite movies from my childhood, along with Unico and Labyrinth. And you did a wonderful job making a tribute to this movie. All of the blue tones are lovely, and I like how you did the shading from the backside, good idea!

A very lovely picture. I love all the details in the background. If they really do make a live action movie, I hope they don't just grab a white horse and glue a prostetic horn to it!

Beautiful portrayal of the Unicorn! I love The Last Unicorn, and a lot of fan art that I see just doesn't seem to do her justice, well done! *thumbs up*!

That's nifty how the shading thing turned outXD
I ADORE this movie (and LOVE the book), and YES that style is a bitch to mimic >.< You did a great job with it here, I must say
I love how you stayed true to the tapestry theme in the background. Beautiful work! *faves*

W O W. I am in absolute awe of this artwork, it is just so beautiful that there would be no perfect word to describe it, the last unicorn was my favourite movie when I was very little and this is truly inspirational to me, infact it's one of the best one's I have seen yet, you are a brilliant artist, I do hope you will continue painting fantastic works like these, I would definately know what you mean by it taking forever, most true artworks take a very long time, as more skill and effort are put into them, it is usually the not so good ones that don't take very long, your style is so beautiful and unique, I love it, thanks for creating such a master piece!
