Unicorns

Hey, I like unicorns!

I've done several pieces based on the novel The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle.

Celaeno

acrylic

The moment in The Last Unicorn before the harpy Celaeno is freed from her cage.

The Red Bull

watercolor

The unicorn fights back against the Red Bull, 

while the other unicorns surface in the waves.

The Butterfly

watercolor

The unicorn listening to the verbose and lyrical butterfly.

Arachne

chalk pastel

The unicorn tells the spider she is free, 

but she is too engrossed in spinning an illusory Milky Way web.

This is the sketch for the scratchboard finish. 

It won an honorable mention in Conlan Press' 2010 Last Unicorn art contest.

Arachne
