         oooof!

            Being a beginner is definitely not easy.
            Rabbit, however, is a very good ender.

  1. The interplay with detail and simplicity keeps getting better and better; as well, the modeling of the form, particularly the rabbit's head and feet, is impressive; the arm positioning is on the mark as well!...
    as regards the positioning of the REST of the rabbit's body, well...
    ~~~~ohhh the poor mouse!
    thank god for all that fluff...
    uh, I hope...

    but the rabbit's expression is priceless ~~and worth the tragedy.
    methinks.

  9. I only had to go back one illustration to start getting the story. What a great idea to illustrate the same characters for IF. I love them! And I have thoroughly enjoyed looking at all the illustrations on your blog.
