Description
"He turned away unoticing, and walked slowly into the sea. The unicorns in the water floundered wildly to let him by, stamping and slashing the surf into a roiling mist which their horns turned rainbow."-Peter S. Beagle (The Last Unicorn)
When I was a kid this movie was watched in a continuous loop and it still influences me artistically as an adult. I read the book recently and it's language is just beautiful.
Thus inspired, here is my take on the scene where the unicorn drives the Red Bull into the ocean and frees the others trapped there in.

This is an incredible piece! What technique did you use to make this illustration? Also, have you ever shown this to Mr. Beagle? He is a real art lover. I bet he'd really enjoy seeing this.

Another book that is on my to-read list! I adore the movie. You've done a fabulous job with this scene! You are very skilled at making exciting compostions! There is so much movement here, and I love the stark coloring. The waves and clouds do a nice job of tying everything together. ^^

I also love the film. I've never read the book 
Wonderful rendition.
Your version of the bull is very nice.

I recently developed this thing for bulls.
I don't know why, or how, but now I just like bulls.
He looks terrific!
And kind of intimidating at the same time.
Wow, it's so powerful, what a great job!

What a fantastic style you used! I don't know if this is your usual sort of medium, but I'm sure going to check your gallery to find out. I love the three-dimensionality from the shading, but the paper cutout look. The textures are great, and I feel roiling, burning motion without the picture being overdone.

Have you, by chance, heard of a story called Curse of the Red Bull?
He didn't stay in the sea...
By the way, Fave from Brawrloxoss.

That was a beautiful book, and a haunting movie. Great sense of scale with the looming bull here, and the colors are eye-catching.

such a powerful image, and I love the layered effect you create with the blocks of colour, it's almost like blocks of coloured paper and makes everything so dynamic. Great work
