Description "The Last Unicorn" is both a favourite movie and book of mine. Here, the unicorn has returned from her journey, the same and yet changed, bearing a burden of regret that not even coming home can relieve.

Not sure if I'm finished with this one ... durr.

Edit May 21, 2010 This piece part of *Spamkiller 's Mind-blowing Feature #0017 . Thank you!

Edit April 17, 2010 This piece took part in "The Last Unicorn Art Show" on Friday, April 16th, 2010 at the Tattoo Factory Gallery located at 4443 N. Broadway in Chicago, IL.

Edit May 30, 2009: Yowza! Daily Dev! What a shocker! I need to go curl up with my stuffed unicorn Candace and re-watch The Last Unicorn for the umpteenth time now. (Featuring and nomination thank-yous go to $ArtisticAunJuli and *solarissky , respectively.)

A fantastic piece of fanart! You’ve worked in the style of the movie but with a nice stylistic twist that’s all your own. Just breathtaking and the symbolism is well done. Wonderful piece!

I've never read the book, but I think I saw a tidbit of the movie. Or maybe Disney Channel made it into a series a long time ago and that's what I saw.

Anyway, normally I don't like so many pinkish colors in one picture, but they all just run so smoothly together, I just have to like it. And the unicorn looks amazing, and the hidden figure adds a nice touch.:3

I think I'm gonna have to check the book/movie out.

The Last Unicorn!
Looks absolutely beautiful. The pose looks mystical, as if in a storybook or such. Great use of colour, too.

Oh, how absolutely beautiful! I grew up with The Last Unicorn, so I couldn't just ignore this beauty.
The colors are so eye-pleasing, but they still pop as easily as a neon sign. I love the dreamy, peacefulness of the piece. The Unicorn is so dainty and graceful ^^ The image of a girl behind her is also a good touch.

It's things like this you find in a girl's fairy-tale dreams ^^

Nicely done! The colour scheme is absolutely charming and appropriate. It makes the piece look sad, unreal and wonderful at the same time. Good job.
