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.)

I don't usually say this, buuuut OMG! I remember this, looking back it's kind of a weird movie. It took me a second to notice the girl,very interesting. The colors are wonderful and happy and I love the dreamy expression on her face, great job!

This has got to be one of the most beautiful pieces of fanart ever. Not just Last Unicorn fanart, but all fanart EVER. The colors are beautiful, and your style really captures that of the movie. The faint figure of the Unicorn's human self is really fitting and sends a powerful message. Instant fave!

I never read the book, but this is my all-time favorite film. And did you know the original Japanese animators threw away the cells when the production was complete?

Wow! Beautiful colors! This is so pretty. I love the expression on her face and the weightless appearance of her movements. :3

I actually met the author of the book a couple of months ago at a local Renaissance Fair and got his autograph on a print of the artist who works with him. :3

uddelhexe [2009-05-27 20:52:51 +0000 UTC]

It is really beautiful and the style is perfect made.
But she does look not that happy, like she is floating through her shelter.
A tiny smile...only a little tiny one could make her face as happy and reliefed as she seems to be by her moving.
I love the picture as much, as I love the movie. It is great and I love to listen to the soundtrack while painting.
The music from the scene when the unichorns come out of the stormy sea and when the castle is falling...I still cry a littel sometimes...just hearing the melody...

Gypsy-Rae [2009-05-27 20:28:57 +0000 UTC]

Ah the last unicorn! One of my favorites as well.

You did a wonderful job and I adore the colors and the hidden "woman" self is an incredibly thoughtful addition that flows -quite literally!- quite well with the rest. I didn't see her for a few moments even.

Thank you for creating such a wonderful homage to the Last Unicorn now I think I would like to dig out my old VHS and give it a re-watch...

This is absolutely breathtaking!
I grew up with the movie, and recently saw a special edition of the book and fell in love with it as well.
Your picture here is just as exquisite and flowing as it could possibly be, and using the soft pastel tones was a really beautiful touch.
A-mazing!

auraboo [2009-05-27 20:06:39 +0000 UTC]

I'm sure many, many others have already told you this but this work is beautiful beyond comprehension. I love the scale of colors you chose and the unicorn's pose is very natural and graceful. My favorite part has to be the image of her human form floating faintly about her, reflecting her regrets and sorrows. Beautiful dedication to one of the loveliest animated movies ever made.
