SF&F Picture 18 out of 21 by Lucy McGrath.

SciFi and Fantasy Art: Refreshment

*goes crosseyed* I swear I am not physically able to look at another clod of dirt for a very, very long time to come. This backgrond-thing drove me absolutely *mad*! I couldn't bear to draw any more than I have, for fear my eyes would pop out or my hand fall off, or something equally gruesome and unpleasant would happen to me and my poor overworked senses. >_< Anyway, I was trying to capture a sense of serenity, a feeling of comfortable lethargy and easy good-will, when Unicorns were admired for their beauty instead of hunted for their horns. And that's what came out. *sigh* At least it's over! Done with! Took me about 5 hours, spread over four or five days. Drawn using a putty eraser and a HB propelling pencil. Well, actually two, because I broke one half way through by rolling all the lead out and accidentally snapping it. *embarassed grin* Oops.

8 Dec 2004	A. Nonny Mouse	Loading... Though I agree that this drawing is beautiful, I must say through extensive experience with horses that the neck of the animal in question is too long. But other than that, it's gorgeous. Keep up the beautiful work! ~Nonny
30 Dec 2004	Anonymous	Loading... I like the neck- i think it adds to the mythical sense of the creature and keeps it from being just another horse with a cone on its forehead. Good job ^-^
7 Jan 2005	Jeff	Loading... I can't put it into words how awesome this picture is!
28 Jan 2006	Jenny Bengtsson	Loading... jeezus...this looks like a photo! My god, how do you do it? It´s just stunning...wow.
2 Feb 2006	Anonymous	Loading... I really like your picture except for the fact that the neck is too short.other than that, it's really good!!!
13 Feb 2006	Silverym	Loading... ~sigh~~faint~ B-E-A-U-TIFUL! the neck cud use a little work but other than that it is AMAZING!
5 Mar 2006	Solyn	Loading... I'm sorry about your poor overworked senses but it must have paid off. This is simply gorgeous. And poo on the neck, it can be fixed!
30 Mar 2006	Morla	Loading... You're really a good drawer, without question (OK, the neck...). But must say, that this is no unicorn. That's simply a horse with an artificial horn stuck on its forehead. Lucy McGrath replies: "And an elf is a human with pointy ears; an angel merely the same with wings. What's your point? Fantasy art is entirely subjective. But thank you for commenting, and complimenting! "
3 Aug 2006	Robin C. Hersom	Loading... This is very nice. If it weren't for the neck (I know, I know, everyone said it) and the forelegs being too short, this could be from life. And I HATE people who say 'You did so-and-so wrong and I know because I have 5,428 horses.' It's just so pointless and show-offy! Rant over, very nice picture.
