Description Many thanks to who introduced me to the THE MOST FANTASTIC MOVIE EVER.

Watership Down. IT WILL BLOW YOUR CHILDHOOD MIND AWAY AND MAKE YOU SOB ECOSYSTEMS INTO YOUR PILLOW.

So it's the predators (the dog, cat, fox, hawk and the weasel) chasing the Rabbit Prince El-ahrairah after he refused to control his people.

ARGGHGGHGHGH, apparently, make sure you don't watch the shitty 90's version. I watched the 70's version.
The song, Bright Eyes, just makes you want to start crying about shit, it's just that beautiful.

Apparently someone's planning to do a remake of it, and hell, I wish I can be a part of it.
It's a really really beautiful story.

Please do not take. I can easily find you via internet sources and I have proof that I've drawn it. Such as WIPs and photos.
Yeah.
If anyone wants to use my work, please send me a note, but I doubt anyone would want to use my work so i'll just sound stupid and ignorant for even assuming that people want to use my work.

When the film introduced the five predatorsΒ the dog, cat, fox, hawk and the weasel I felt that they left out another predator which is the most dangerous: Β humanΒ

The movie was amazing, and Bright Eyes is a wonderful song, I will agree with that. I just wish they would have added more of the El-ahrairah stories from the book, but other than that they did a very fine job.

hello, this is awesome! I've been wanting to get a watership tattoo for a while that combined all of the hunters from the beginning of the film, how would you feel about your image being used for the basis of it? If not no worries, i would design my own but my illustrative skills blow.

This is so detailed. One could stare at it for a while and still find pretty new things. I haven't watched Watership Down (or maybe I did a long time ago...), but it must have been a great movie to inspire this piece.

Gorgeous drawing. If you really liked the movie, you should read the book though - much richer in "rabbit culture" and very very evocative!

Thank you very much for your comment!

I've haven't read the book yet, since I can't find it So I might have to buy it online (I wanted to support my local bookstores, but it doesn't help when they're all closing down )
I loved the movie for the introduction (and of course the entire storyline, but the introduction will always stay with me). It was simply amazing.

Oh. My. God.

I'm so glad I mentioned Watership Down in passing on a previous piece. Honestly, as I originally pressed send, I was thinking "I hope she doesn't think I'm insinuating that she was already influenced by this film". The fact is that your style and the subjects you portray lend itself so well to a childhood classic. You should be illustrating books, my dear.

I am not disappointed in your interpretation of the predators and the prince of rabbits. I love his shining white tail and the sense of movement and speed in the composition. Most of all, I love the trees. There's something about the way the trees are drawn that's so quintessentially Watership Down for me. I also love those patterns between the prince and the predators because I can tell that's you, even though it blends in so effortlessly. I find the wing of the hawk also rather beautiful. Well done! I cannot praise you enough!

If I had one criticism, I would have loved to have seen this with those rich brown tones painted in... but that's probably because my eys think that I'm seeing the original thing, only naked.

Oh look, a mushroom! It wouldn't be yours without one of your mushrooms. Fuck Alice, she has her own ... and they're completely different.

Sorry if this comment or parts of it sound weird, retarded or pretentious. I've barely finished my first coffee of the day. I must tell you, this is a rare and beautiful treat for a Thursday morning. I think I might have my second cup while I watch the movie

Btw, I feel like this was some sort of request in a way. You should give me something to draw from your childhood so I can thank you properly

I adore every comment you put on my page, because it's critical yet so awesome at the same time. I tried to stay true to the drawing style that they showed in the introduction, especially with the patterns and the lines that they had on the animals.

The tones that you saw last time was actually thanks to Instagram, it's a iphone app that allows you to put filters on your picture, So I couldn't reproduce that on the computer. But I'll do some more research in textures and I'll try to find one that replicates that.

I can't go anywhere without drawing my darling mushrooms. They're so much fun to draw!

WHISPER ME MORE COMMENTS LOVE I WANT ALL YOUR COMMENTS. Holy crap, I didn't realise it's a Friday morning for me you're so behind!
No nonononono you don't have to draw anything. This artwork was done as a thank you present for YOU, because you introduced me to it! Without it, I wouldn't have been so inspired.

Many thanks and love to you, for planting this magnificent seed in my mind.
And yeah, if I sound weird, it's also because I just had my first coffee as well
