Tag As FavoriteComment		A Harry Potter -inspired scene: a dead unicorn lying on colourful autumn leaves. I tried to capture the stillness of the sad moment and the losing beauty of the creature. Watercolours and coloured pencils on watercolour paper.

That picture make me almost cry. It's beautiful, sad, but it wake up my feelings. It's a great effect, I love when the wind is blowing in the tail and the mane. The leaf make me feel sad. But it's a great pic.

:-) Johanna Iso-Järvenpää replies: "Thanks for all the nice comments you gave me, Lene. Some people say, that this unicorns isn't dead. What do they want to see, blood? Death doesn't always appear ugly, you and me know that."

when i looked at it i thought 'sweet little unicorn basking in the autumn sun' it does NOT look dead. very beautiful, but not dead.

It's a great picture 2. The unicorn's face is so peaceful and happy so I think she (or he) died a very quiet death. A very good idea. I actually cried a little because it is so good.

I hard someone say the picture almost made them cry? Well the picture DID make me cry, its just says something about the death innocence the wizarding community is expeariancing at this time. I better go grab a tissue before my mom thinks I`m depressed.

...very sad, indeed... you’ve caught the right ambience for it! and i can really "hear" the sound of the wind blowing away the leaves, and nothing more, just standing there feeling sad about it. well done!
