Shadow of the Past :Unicorn:

This is my 1st Last Unicorn fan art and it is for's Forbidden Love Contest[link] Took me a long time to think of something to draw...then I realized my favorite movie is about forbidden love......This scene I see happing in the sequel *two hearts* yes there is a written sequel by Mr Beagle!!!!!
I see the Now King Lir riding through the unicorn's forest and they see each other, their eyes meet for a moment. He cant stand to look at her since it hurts his heart, so he turns away. But for that moment in their hearts he becomes the young prince again and she the Lady Amalthea....and that explains the painting above......here is a piece taken from the Last Unicorn to show how it is a Forbidden love.....

Schmendrick: If we run away then all the unicorns of the world will remain prisoners forever except one. And she will grow old and die.
Amalthea: Everything dies! I want to die when you die.
[looks at Lir]
Amalthea: I'm no unicorn, no magical creature. I'm a woman, and I love you, Lir. Don't let him change me! Lir, I will not love you when I'm a unicorn.
Prince Lir: Amalthea, don't...
Schmendrick: Then let the quest end here! I don't think I could change you back, even if you wished it. Marry the prince, and live happily ever after.
Amalthea: Yes, that is my wish.
Prince Lir: No. My lady, I am a hero. Heroes know that things must happen when it is time for them to happen. A quest may not simply be abandoned; unicorns may go unrescued for a long time, but not forever. A happy ending cannot come in the middle of the story.
Molly Grue: But what if there isn't a happy ending?
Schmendrick: There are no happy endings, because nothing ends.
Molly Grue: Schmendrick, let her stay the way she is. Let her be...
Schmendrick: That's not in the story. Lir know that, and so does she.
Molly Grue: You don't care! You don't care what happens to her or to the others, just so you're a real magician at last. You don't care-"
Schmendrick: Well I wish I didn't care! I wish to God I didn't care about anything but my magic! But I do! I do.





I used water color pencils, acrylic paints, and markers.


One last thing. My scanner really killed this so, I took the above picture with my camera which made it look as I painted it.....my scanner made Lir look like he had a sunburn....and Amalthea's skin was yellower then her hair..............and the forest looked like I had balled up the paper so it was a wrinkly mess!!!!!!!*hates her scanner*
