Description
This was my final drawing project, and probably one of my favorite 2D illustrations that I've done so far! A lot of things have started to come together for me, and I'm a lot happier with my use of colors here than I was at the beginning of this semester.
We were just supposed to describe a scene in detail and then follow our own description for this one. I'm not really sure what I was thinking, other than the fact that I really want a giant bunny with really long ears. It would be an awesome form of transportation (especially in the snow!) and a great pillow Cx
This is also really giving me a Narnia/ The Golden Compass vibe (I know those stories are religious opposites but uh... they do have similar looks in my mind)
Acrylic paint on illustration board, about 14 x 8 inches.

Oh my, this is so insanely cool! Literally, the amount of snow gives me the chills. Still it's too cool to look away. Love all the details, and there's really a huge amount of (bad) stories popping up in my mind about what this could be about :')

I like the bunny! Though he seems so...white compared to everything else. Makes him the focus of the picture. Anyway, this is very nicely done. :3

Haha I totally thought of Narnia when I looked at this pic but OMG GIANT RABBIT
I read a story once that was about this island or something that got flipped around, and everything that was supposed to be tiny was huge and vice versa. The rabbit was the largest animal on the island

I've talked about that concept before actually, it's interesting that something like that has been made. I would like it as long as insects and arachnids were not included... because oh god... think about giant insects. D;
But I guess the medium sized animals would just... stay the same?

Well I'm sure your concepts would be a lot better, it was a horrible book XD
I think the only things they had on the island were big and small? I remember them saying the largest of all the animals was the rabbit, and the main character had a pet hippo that she could put in her pocket or something XD So the hippo must have been about the size of a mouse.
There were other stories, including one that explained how cats are descended from dragons, and another that talks about a dragon who had so many legs that it took from sunrise to sundown for it to go into it's cave. Yeah they were bad.

Giant bunny is very efficient travel in snow. Especially for long journeys. They keep you warm. I recommend it

ohhh I get such a Golden Compass vibe. But also Chronicles of Chrestomanci, did you ever read those?
I am so envious always of your use of colors. ;~; (and also, I want that bunny.)

I think you should draw humans more often. ;w; They're so wonderfully unique~
I just giggled to myself at the thought of one of the rabbit's ears getting caught on a branch. D':

I didn't realize they were religious opposites until just now, lol. I guess I like them both so much that I didn't care??? I like the colors and concept here~

I totally agree with you though! I'm not Christian, but I still appreciate Narnia as a wonderful fantasy series. The His Dark Materials trilogy is my absolute favorite though... which reminds me that I really want to reread it <3
