SciFi and Fantasy Art The Last Unicorn by Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel)

1998 - Soft chalk on black paper - 65cm x 93cm

Sad and beautiful, isn't it? I like this one very much! I almost sold it once during an amateur-exhibition in my hometown, but the woman said, though she thought it to be very beautiful she could never take it into her flat because it was so sad! Looking back I am incredibly glad not to have lost it that day!
(Sorry to all that where so amazed about such a picture by crayons. I have to disappoint you. That was a translation mistake. It's chalk!)

You can buy prints or cards of this picture at my homepage! :)

26 Apr 2006	Dying Messenger	Loading... Sorry, but the title misled me!! When I scrolled down, I just laughed because of what I saw!! I wasn't expecting to see a dead unicorn laying on the side of the road. Greay picture by the way! I love the colors you chose. Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Thank you. In part, the colours were changed by the fixation spray I used on it. But well, I can't help it and it still looks good. (The title was meant as it reads. I just LOVE that animated movie!)"
28 May 2006	Yana P. Vaseva	Loading... That's unique! Actually my first thought was "haha that stupid driver, it's now HIS fault unicorns are extinct" then I thought "those stupid highways..." then I thought "actually it's kinda memorable, reminds again of how humans lead to the extinction of other creatures... and even their own myths" The symbolism here is really moving... Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Thank you very much, Yana! Hmm. I guess me too, I'd rather blame the highway and that whole way of living and thinking we have evolved than the individual driver in this case. "
5 Jul 2006	Laurel	Loading... Whoa so much detail! Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Thank you, Laurel! This is one of my few favourite works ever. "
21 Sep 2006	Liz	Loading... Normal roadkill's bad enough . . . unicorn roadkill is just a sign of the times Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Indeed. Thank you a lot for your comment!"
27 Jan 2007	Wingstride	Loading... Noooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!Omg crys!!! Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "YESSSSSSSS "
28 Oct 2007	Mut fishbone_gree	Loading... I saw this picture some-odd years ago... and it sparked a slough of dead/dying unicorns in my gallery. I've never been able to find it again until now ^_^ I'd like to mark this for people to see if this was on a deviantart gallery. It's one of the most inspiring peices of art in my life... though you might like to know... Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Wow, thank you very much for letting me know! I really appreciate it! That is the best compliment I have received for my art up to date! This is in my DA-gallery: ... Oh! You found it already! I just saw that you favourited it! Thanks so much! "
5 Dec 2007	Stephanie S. K. Marbach	Loading... oooooooooh my - i can't believe i bumped into your gallery!!! but why didn't i leave a comment before?! did i maybe see your picture on your personal website or something...? i remember this picture SO well and every now and then it keeps coming back to me. it impressed me very very much... and isn't art supposed to be like that? Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Thank you very much for all your comments and especially for this one! I am glad this artwork was able to leave such an impression in you! "
25 Jun 2008	Sarah Fragore Roper	Loading... THIS IS EXACLTY WHY DANGEROUS DRIVERS SHOULD BE BANNED FROM DRIVING FOR LIFE!!! that would never happen in elftown though.
8 Feb 2009	Lenka dragon_fan Vargová	Loading... poor creature..
13 May 2010	Jasmin Islam	Loading... Wow. That’s poignant. A rather ridiculous end for the majestic unicorn, and all the more brutal for that. Beautiful work, I find myself agreeing very much with Yana Vaseva’s comment.
