Hello! I'm from and I happened to see this piece in their gallery!
The first thing that caught my eye was how you shaped your canvas into that oval. That was a brilliant idea, in my opinion! It helps focus the eye to all the 'characters' in your piece. And let me talk about those characters--the flower starts the interest and helps nudge the eye toward the left, where the viewer then sees the sign and then finally landing on the bunny. And he looks very comfortable with that blanket of his!
The sunlight touching the icicles and making them gleam just helps keep everything interesting!
I have to poke about how the light is glimmering off the flower and the sign though. I'm sure that it wouldn't shine in such a way unless it was frozen through or as kiki5576 said, it was transparent. Could you have maybe made the snow on it be mildly drippy, so we'd see the sparkle falling off? It would still have given your flower the attention it deserves, I think. Or maybe you could have slightly darkened the deeper end of the cave a bit more so the bunny looks like he's just slightly in the sun?
My critiques are very tiny, though. This piece is clearly still beautiful. You did some excellent work! Thank you so much for sharing this.

Hey, thank you so much for your critique, RachBurns! 
"Could you have maybe made the snow on it be mildly drippy, so we'd see the sparkle falling off?" That sounds so sweet, I wish I had thought of that! 
Thanks again, and I'm glad you liked my illustration!

Yeah, it's hard to think of everything in a piece.

Hello, I'm from project Comment! Your piece is really advance skill wise, and I can honestly only recommend small changes. It's definitely a picture to be proud of
The way I see your picture, the darkest color on the image is the signpost, and because of that, it is what the eye tends to focus on. The bunny is also a focus due to the scarf, but since it has less contrast, the eye doesn't really focus on it naturally. In the future, I suggest putting the picture in greyscale before finalizing the picture, to see which areas stand out the most. If an area that you don't want to focus on seems to have high contrast, lightening/darkening the object accordingly can really help change the focus of the image.
With the lighting, it seems pretty consistent, but it feels like one thing is off. I believe that the flower wouldn't reflect light like that, unless it is completely transparent or reflective. If you want to show that the flower is covered in frost or ice, you could add a textured light color on it to show that something is reflecting, but it isn't the stem itself. The way you have the sparkle and the white line outlining the stem, it makes the flower seem like it is made of glass, or a really reflective material. I think that if you used the lines like that on the icicles,though, it would look really amazing!
Overall, this picture is super high quality, and it's way above my skill level, so take everything with a grain of salt. I hope this helps!

This is adorable! I love how the frame works so well with the piece, it nicely rounds it off.
the colour pallette is also really nice and aesthetic, the pop of red and pink is a great addition, really focuses your attention on the adorable bunny. It has me in a really nice winter snow day mood :> great work! <3

This cool and cute at the same time. It reminds me of the intro from N.I.M.H 2.

I don't know why, but I have an early spring feeling.... Maybe because of the flower and the bright light?
Anyway, it's beautiful, and the bunny is adorable *-*

Hurray! *hugs the little bunny and warms him up from the cold*
Can I keep him?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You know, he might like a nice warm home to sleep in for the winter! ^^ But when spring comes you'll have to let him hop around the forest again; maybe he'll even show you some secret places.

I just call him Mr. Bunny. You can give him a nickname if you want.

Sounds great!

Oh, are you talking about 'adopts'? Sorry, no. Since I'm thinking about using this illustration to make cards, I can't give you the intellectual property to own this piece. (If that's how adopts work? I don't really know.

Alright! I was asking because things like that are never that easy. And about that cards, I really do hope to the people that they're sent to, I hope they make them smile just like Frost did for me. *hands Frost back* here, you need him more than ever now, make people happy just as you did for me! Just remember, let him hop around to show you wonderful things, after all, he lead me to a great new friend!

He'll get a front view if he sees Santa Claus flying about on Christmas Eve.

I wonder what a bunny would want for Christmas, besides fresh carrots? ^^

Ah, it would be funny sight if he had a ton of security cameras around to protect his little hollow!

And watch through a specially made security system build in his little hollow.
