Description Ok, hear me out on this one.

Unicorns and sparkles aren't my usual fare and I felt silly a few times while working on this. But I recently rewatched The Last Unicorn (a childhood favorite) on Netflix and decided to try drawing a unicorn. Things got out of hand and now here we are.

Great job! 👏🏻
Can you please draw a ballerina and a mermaid? I think you would make a wonderful job with them

For not being in your comfort zone, you really knocked this out of the park, if it helps? xD The texture on the horn is amazing, and that mane is downright majestic.

Stunningly beautiful.  I still can't get over how amazing the eyes come out in your paintings.

Thanks. Eyes are my favorite part to do in portrait- for humans, other animals, or otherwise.

I've never watched the movie, but I love the book. Beagle's use of language is very unexpected and clever.

Excellent Unicorn has its own look (character) I really like how you work with whites (color palette)

Thanks! Working with a reduced palette is a favorite of mine.

Recovery is going much slower than I hoped for, and I'm still in pain. But doctor said it could be a month or more, and I'm only on 2 weeks. Just learning a lesson in patience the hard way.

Thanks for asking.

Oh gosh, I loved that movie as a kid! I loved the Kenny Loggins song as well. Seriously, it's like you're taking your inspiration straight from my childhood.
And honestly, she looks so pretty.

I don't think you should have felt silly about this! You just did something that is not your usual thing, put yourself
way out of your comfort zone. This is a fantastic painting, as always, but I think more so since you weren't really
comfortable while you painted it.

ThreshTheSky In reply to ObscuroArcanum [2015-11-22 09:18:20 +0000 UTC]

Seriously, this comment is awesome and I really appreciate it. This sounds cliché but I think it really can be a little weird sharing art when you don't know what to expect for a response. But it also makes it doubly rewarding to get positive feedback. Thank you

ObscuroArcanum In reply to ThreshTheSky [2015-11-23 05:31:22 +0000 UTC]

Cliche or not, it doesn't make it any less true. If we have worked on something that we aren't
feeling the most confident about, for whatever reason (theme is outside out comfort zone, there
is something not quite right about it that we can't put our finger on etc) then to post it online
is a rather nerve-racking experience. We're a little more vulnerable towards any potentially harsh
comments we receive. It is very rewarding when you don't get slammed over an image that you're
not confident about.

What people don't seem to understand is, no matter the skill of the artist, we all have our vulnerable
moments and it's really nice when we're not gutted like a fish and roasted when they occur.

So beautiful and I looooove The Last Unicorn. I always wanted to record the song myself

Thank you! I had forgotten how much I liked it. I remember my parents getting sick of me watching this movie over and over again. I'm pretty sure I had the song on a cassette too.
