SciFi and Fantasy Art: Unicorns shepherdess

No, unicorns aren't horses with a horn. They are smaller and look more like goats than horses, except for the mane. And why wouldn't they have a sheperdess looking carefully after them ?

Ink drawing and watercolours. I hope you'll like it.

This is such a cute picture ^^
I have never though that unicorns would need a shepherdess... but now, when you have showed me this, I find that it must be so! *smiles*
I love the smooth and colourful picture and the design of the shepherdess... A really nice and emotional picture...
I love it!

This is really great. I love that you used the old style of unicorns that are small and sweet with big ears. This picture should be a children's book.

*squeak* that's cute!!^-^ I like how little the unicorns are!! makes me wanna hug them!! and i love the paint job!!!

2 Anne Wipf replies: "Thank you. If you look at the famous old tapestry : "the lady and the unicorn" (I hope it's the right title in English), you'll see that unicorn were not so big as they are represented today. I tried to return to the origins of the legend."

Now THAT makes sense! =) I love your bright use of colour, your entire gallery's so vibrant. YOur style reminds me of children's illustrations - that bright simplicity which communicates the most subtle emotions. Fantastic!

Aw, cute. I especially like the resemblance to that famous tapestry of the lady with the unicorn in her lap. Though your version makes much more sense: I'd much rather have one on these little unicorns sitting on my lap than one the size of a grown horse!

2 Anne Wipf replies: "Thank you. Yes, I think that the medieval tapestry serial "The lady with the unicorn" are a reference, if we want to know how really unicorns were imagined. And, as you say, they were not horses with a horn."

Yes,this is my Mum's fave.I seem to be able to appreciate you more now that I've...um,grown up?Haha.But actually,it's kind of true.The shepherdess is very well proportioned and her costume is unique.The unicorns remind me of the goatlike ones I seem to remember from somewhere...anyway,nice job,Anne!

How cute! I love the idea because unicorns do seem like fragile creatures. The detail on the dress is nice too.

2 Anne Wipf replies: "Thank you, Natalie. There are many representations of unicorns. Mine is near the one of "The Lady and the Unicorn" medieval tapestry serial, because I like to keep the feeling of the original legends (and because I wanted to do something different of the usual "horned horse" representations). But all the representations may be acceptable: after all, unicorns are imaginary animals, aren't they?"

awww, so adorible. i would love to have a job doing somthing like that.

:-) Anne Wipf replies: "So I did... but I’m currently working in a factory, to put stupidely flasks on the tools of a chain, and to pull them out, after varnishing, and to redo this day after day... 8 Thank you for your kind comment 2"
