Description A HARE pounced upon by an eagle sobbed very much and uttered cries like a child. A Sparrow upbraided her and said, “Where now is thy remarkable swiftness of foot? Why were your feet so slow?” While the Sparrow was thus speaking, a hawk suddenly seized him and killed him. The Hare was comforted in her death, and expiring said, “Ah! You who so lately, when you supposed yourself safe, exulted over my calamity, have now reason to deplore a similar misfortune.”    Misery loves company.– Aesop’s Fables, translated by George Fyler Townsend

The inspiration, the lack of shading is intentional and replaced with a tribal feel.. A very appreciable artist. When I was younger I might've wanted to be a lot like you. Well done, it's beautiful.

I love the writings these works seem to be inspired by, and of course the artwork is beautiful.
