SF&F Picture 15 out of 56 by Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel).

SciFi and Fantasy Art: The Last Unicorn (coloring book version)

August 2004 - Felt-tipped pen - 21cm x 30cm

As the title says. ;-) I like the fact that it is not just the same picture as lineart but it turned out to be some kind of closeup on the unicorn.

I drew this for the dark fantasy coloring book Ellen Million is composing at the moment. I hope she will take this in. I'll draw a lineart version of my shot angel as well for that purpose. :)

24 Aug 2004	Edward Newton	Loading... Alas, poor unicorn! Now, I'd like to see the truck that hit it! I'm sure it's a mess! Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Hehehe, I had not thought about that yet! evil grin at the thought of the pile of scrap metal that crept on out of this forest ..."
27 Aug 2004	Uta ´Freawyn´ Hesse	Loading... Wow. Again sad motive... but I really love it. Not just that the idea is great and unique, you did the best job on it. I always loved colouring books, and I feel myself hardly not to take a colour pencil and colour it! Hehe.... I wish I could do landscaps as perfect! Every leave is a single thing to be drawn in, and just look at the street, how it is winding along the hills! That would be such a great place to drive along... I just would hope that a unicorn wouldn't suddenly cross the street right behing the next bend! Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Yeah. The colouring book's about dark fantasy. And since I don't like goth so very much I rather tend to the sad theme corner... Thank you again! And you're right: all those leaves drove me crazy!"
28 Aug 2004	Christel 'Kris' Scheja	Loading... I like the motive. It is not the one sweet and nice picture you would like to find in a colouring book, but it is interesting and new, and everyone could paint it, als he or she wishes, to make it still alive or let him die. The motive is a little bit cynical, but I like that better than the 1001st sweet oh sweet picture. Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Thank you again, Christel! Yes, it might be cynical but I like to do that kind of art now and then. Or better said: When I'm in the mood of drawing such things I don't restrain myself from it by saying 'pictures should be nice'. About that drawing book: It will be a dark fantasy drawing book, and as I understood Ellen, it will be full of pictures like this one. ^.^"
30 Aug 2004	E. bender	Loading... Wow... Your art is really amazing... So many details... (schade dass mein englisch so mies ist, aber wirklich klasse.. Alles sieht so sauber und genau aus... Ich verzweifel immer an so kleinigkeiten... ) Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Thanks a lot, e.! Indeed, I needed a bit patience to draw all those bushes and leaves. But since it's only a black and white piece at least the technique wasn't that time consuming. "
1 Sep 2004	Kristina 'Aryana' Siers	Loading... Amazing! Poor unicorn, this is really sad! I like the fantastic detail! Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Thank you again! Oh yes, the detail took a while. Not as long as the original, though. ^.^"
9 Sep 2004	Kerstin ´kolibri´ Eiben	Loading... The perspective is great done! Some have problems with perspective, esp. when looking down onto something. You did this very well, although I am a little bit shocked about the motive and the, well, dark title for it lol But a different kind of idea, that's always good Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Thank you Kerstn! I like doing this dark art. At the moment I did more cute and nice songgryphon pictures but usually my motives are a bit more thoughtful up to very cynial like this one here."
18 Sep 2004	Elf Ranger	Loading... Wow, cool! Nice job in turning that painting into lines. You know I always liked this pic, and I think this is really cool! I hope it gets into the coloring book too, good luck! Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Thank you, again! Cross fingers for it! "
5 Jul 2006	Laurel	Loading... Interesting picture... it's good I should read that book again... Who's it by? Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Peter S. Beagle. This is one of the few books that have been made onto a worthy film. I love that animated movie since I have seen it the first time as a child!"
23 Nov 2007	Michael pixie john	Loading... Oh no hope the unicorn can get better with faerie magic and all the trees grow back through the horrid highway well drawn picture lovely trees Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Thank you very much! In fact, I love roads in forests and woud not like to see them all vanish. However, all the vehicles using them could be banned, if you ask me. What do you think: All the roads just for pedestrians, bicycles and the animals of the woods!"
