Description The five tales of El-ahrairah, the Prince of Rabbits. My favorite story was always El-ahrairah and the Black Rabbit of Inlé.

You've inspired me to try to do  some El-ahrairah tales with photography. I like looking at all the different pictures and remembering the stories behind it.

Lovely. I especially like the way you did the Black Rabbit...flowing, ethereal, darkly haunting.

This is lovely, but I can't help but have an anatomy complaint. If you don't want it, feel free to stop reading. If you do, here it is. ^^

 

 

On the pictures where the rabbits are standing on all four paws, the rumps are level with the shoulders. It's an easy mistake to make, but rabbits' back legs are longer than the front, so in that pose, their rump should be higher up. That's all I got. xD

Thanks for the constructive criticism. Anatomy is difficult in general, though I could use reference pictures more often when I draw. I wanted to make El-ahrairah look like the prince of rabbits, so I used a bit more of a canine pose that would be possible of a rabbit. Rabbits don't appear to be able to stand up the way dogs do.

I like your profile pic, by the way. Cute bunny rabbit.

Thanks. x3 not my bunny, but still, I love it.

as for the standing up, yes and no. When my rabbits stretch out to look over the edge of the cage when I open it, their back feet come up off the ground, though it IS a bit different.

You have bunnies? What kind?

Rhinelanders and Dwarfs. ^^ I have himi marked Netherlands, hotots with freakin' blue eyes (D:< NOOOO!!!), and the sweetst running breed in the ARBA. x3 Nothin' quite like a Rhinelander.

I had to Google Rhinelander because I forgot what they look like. Really pretty breed! Kind of like a tricolor English Spot. I don't think I'd want to have a rabbit myself, since I've heard they're hard to take care of. I do have rats though, and those are easy to take care of. And a hedgehog: fav.me/d6e9kwf Do you have pictures of your bunnies?

Yes, Rhinelanders ARE wonderful. ^^

 

I have pictures of them, and need to post them. I keep intending to, but never do xD

I don't know. It's hard to decide! Probably all those from the first book, although "Tales" had some really good ones.
