Just yesterday I told the people at GFXartist that when you finally finish coloring your Last Unicorn pieces, most of the critics would be silenced. Judging by the contrast and details of this pic, I was right. This one's absolutely gorgeous, true to the spirit of the original unicorn myth (not just Beagle's).
However (don't you just hate howevers and buts)%2 |

... I think the horn should be pointing a little more to the right and to the back. But that's just me. 8) |

Well, too late for the changes, since it's watercolor, but thanks!

Nice work Steph...seems quite a difficult brief to visualize. I really like the way you did the Unicorns mane and the background is superb as always... |

I love the marbelized textures you create with water colors. I think you could be an awesome faux painter. |

What's a faux painter...?

Wowie! This is a beautiful work. I look forward to seeing it on the new book. The unicorn is very well done, and I love the designwork up the right and the eye-delicious background tones and texturing. |

It's something a friend told me about, and something I would like to do someday because there is big money it. A faux painter is basicly a high-class mural painter, here in southwest Florida it is very much in demand. People can make $100.00-$350.00+ an hour Faux Finishing, or even $8,000+ per wall painting landscapes, designs and textures in a wealthy person's home. I think people would go bananas over some of the awesome things you could paint for them. You'd be a millionaire in no time. If I had your skills, I would try it out at least once for the fun of it.
It's like a mixture of Fine art and regular old house painting. They have classes on it where they teach you how to make cool marbelized textures similar to what you have in your background here. You get to use all kinds of cool paints and brushes and stuff. I think your celtic knotwork would look great along the top or bottom of somebody's wall. Ah well, just an idea. :) |

It does sound like it could be fun to try out! :)

The figure of the woman, the one by the unicorn's knee, is that another self-portrait? |
| (Stephanie Law) |
No intentional likeness for that one!
