Artist's Comments

[EDIT] Changed the image a bit after our class critique. There's some improvements most notably in her face, her hair, and some overall texture work. Hope you don't mind the spamming, I couldn't stand to leave the older version up X)

*whew!* This is due tomorrow morning :) O'course, I have to do two interiors to go with it and get it printed and matted too, but that's a stress rant I won't go into further.

A project for my illustration class: design a book cover for a 'classic book'... I'm not exactly sure thirty years qualifies TLU as a classic, but my teacher and I are on pretty good terms, so I got it through :D

Anyway...lol, you should see the way the real media base for this tanked itself. I weep for the linework, but hey, if it hadn't have tanked, it never would've become digital now would it?

Anyway, PLEASE don't take this. I can't emphasize enough how utterly peeved I would be if a portfolio piece like this got stolen. So, sorry for the intense watermarking. *shrug*

Characters and story (C) Peter S. Beagle. And srsly, if you haven't read it YOU SHOULD. It's amazing. The movie doesn't count.

This is beautiful, and still to this day I want to find a copy of this book and read it. Ive loved the movie since I was a whee kid, now that ive gotten back into reading with a serious vengeance, I really want to grab and read this. :)

I love that you combined her true form with her human form with the hair/mane. Very very nice, the colors are excellant, really remind me of an old painting. I love the elongated, yet very regal look of her human form, adn from what I can see of her unicorn self, just stunning, love the eyes, eye brows and horn.

wow! this is wonderful! LOL, what a coincidence, I jsut bought the book today! (And man I wish that your cover was on it XD) I love the poses and deep though that you've captured on Amalthia, the unicorn itself looks almost like a mirror-painting seen in the movie :o for like, three seconds. It was during the 'now that I'm a woman' song thing. :3 Well done!
