Description Tribute to one of my favorite movies of all time! I hope all you fans out there like it too! This was so much fun. I've never done so much glitter.
At first I was just searching on deviantart and I didn't see all that many tributes to the Red Bull so I just drew a sketch and then I decided to throw in the unicorn and it got so out of control!
Thanks to melemel.deviantart.com/ for the lovely ornate frame they made avaliable!

Here is the process:fav.me/d5qg5uy

Peter S. Beagle wrote the book and the movie is based off of that

EDIT:
Made some updates and fixed some things that were bothering me.

So this is one of the books that have been offered to our senior class as part of the "Reading Gala", and I would love to hear more about the plot. Also this art is smashing, particularly the balance of colors and value.

The story is really nice. I haven't actually read the book though I want to. I don't know the differences that make the movie different from the book but I can give you a short summary if you like.
Basically there is this Unicorn that hasn't seen any of her kind for ages so she goes on a journey to find them. In the process she gets captured by a witch and meets a magician that helps her escape. The Magician and the unicorn travel together and come across various obstacles and then they're party becomes a trio. They meet the Red bull for the first time and the unicorn is transformed into a human.Eventually they arrive at a sea side castle where they meet King Haggard and his son. The Unicorn struggles with her new human emotions as the prince attempts to win her heart. I dare not reveal any more. It is a fascinating story. I'm sorry I couldn't describe it any better.

As someone who's seen the movie and read the book, let me assure you, the movie actually sticks very close to the book. Some lines I can practically hear the voice actors from the movie.

Go ahead and read it, better yet buy yourself a copy to keep.

That sounds so lovely... I may choose that one, either that one or Divergence. Thank you so much in helping me make a more educated decision!

As far as I know they never finished it.. they started it about 10 years ago or more? and it just kind of fell through. I think it was suppose to be finished around 2008 or so. makes me so sad that they lost budgeting

What a shame! Well I hope someday a live action will be available. They better do a good job though!

Well, if you don't know about the movie, you can see the clips on YouTube, look it up on Wikipedia, and see the movie on Netflix. That can surely help you.

Amazing! I love the way you drew this picture based on the animated movie : The Last Unicorn. Its an excellent movie and I'm happy that you did it, because it is one of the more forgotten movies out there.

Amaniwolf In reply to shmekldorf [2013-01-31 00:55:42 +0000 UTC]

It basically goes back to King Lir, years later when he's old. He never really could get over her, I...don't want to spoil it incase you want to read it. The other characters do make appearances.
