The Last Unicorn

The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle is a tale for any age about the wonders of magic, the power of love, and the tragedy of loss. A unicorn, alone in her enchanted wood, discovers that she may be the last of her kind. Reluctant at first, she sets out on a journey to find her fellow unicorns, even though it means facing the Red Bull's terrifying anger, and challenging the evil king who wields the Bull's power.

- “Listen. No, don’t listen to me, listen! You can find the others if you are brave. They passed down all the roads long ago, and the Red Bull ran close behind them and covered their footprints” - —–

This movie continues to be such a huge source of inspiration

I have had this set in mind for a very long time, and only recently did I really have the concept firm enough to bring it to reality! I wanted to create an homage to one of my favorite books, Peter S. Beagle’s “The Last Unicorn”. While I did take a small amount of inspiration from the 1982 Rankin/Bass film, I mostly drew directly from the book itself, where the unicorn is described as “the color of snow falling on a moonlit night.” The Red Bull himself is written to be “the color of blood, not the springing blood of the heart but the blood that stirs under an old wound that never really healed. A terrible light poured from him…His horns were as pale as scars.” The Unicorn (Amalthea) began as a Breyer Stablemate rearing Arabian. I removed her horse tail and stallion bits and added a lion-style classic unicorn tail. I sculpted her a horn and fringes at her fetlocks. She’s been painted white with a frosting of pale blue here and there, inspired by how moonlight looks on snow drifts. She measures 4" tall. The Red Bull began as a Breyer traditional-scale Spanish Fighting Bull. I detached his tail from his flank and carved the excess plastic from his mouth. I sculpted flames along his back and at the end of his tail. He is painted in a deep blood red with flames beneath the surface like lava flowing up into the fire on his back; his legs and hooves are black as though he has been trampling through cinders. His eyes are painted to show that, as in the book, he is blind. He measures 8 ½" tall and 15" long.

I really love the subtle redesigns of Molly and Schmen’s costumes. Schmen’ looks a little more elegant, but still tattered. I like the cut of Molly’s skirt and the purple sash. “But it’s all right. I forgive you.”
“She didn’t come for you. Unicorns are not to be forgiven. And we are on a quest.” The Last Unicorn” comic issue #3 Poor Schmendrick. You can’t talk to her that way! She’s a Unicorn! I’m a Magician! We are on a QUEST! We do not have time for normal non-magical folk and their silly concerns! We are doing IMPORTANT THINGS! And Molly, completely unfazed, ignores his antics and is just, “I’m coming.” There’s no room for argument. You never had a chance against Molly Grue, Schmen’. “Well, you’re going the wrong way.” Every single time that she one-ups him, his reactions are gold. It starts here with frustration and exasperation and slowly becomes dependence and trust, and later something more.
