Description Please clicky for Bigness!

I wanted to work with rabbits again. I think they are cutest things on earth next to kittens! Its nice to think that maybe one could charm wildlife by merely playing some pipes! However, everytime i see a rabbit (there are hundreds living in the grounds of where i work) they always dart off..This little bunny is curious and obviously has an ear for pan-pipes...
I had to work out how to change the position of his head to make him look up. after gently messing about with warps and liqifies, i just chopped his head and rotated it.. But i think it came out rather well. Poor Bunny

~

Well this has been a bit of a pain in the arse to create. Why? Because I started it last week, and soon after my computer spazzed out on me again. Had to back up what i could onto cd-rw's and do a complete system re-install When i eventually managed to get everything back on my PC, and started the image again, Photoshop and GIMP were crashing about every 10 minutes. I wouldn't like to say how many saves and reboots i went through whilst making this image. So, after never thinking i would get it up here, and after much gnashing of teeth and screaming expletives Here it finally is... Comments and/or faves will be greatfully received for this!!!

Time spent on the actual image in total - about 3 hours
Time spent trying to work on the image - 6 days.
Done in both GIMP and Photoshop (eventually)

Love the light-swishy halo thingy around her head and her dress rocks.
See you're workin' on your titles too
I'm really concious about what I call my pieces ever since you said I had such good titles

Awesome! Where do you come up with these wonderful ideas?

The bunny looks good, but there is a slight break in his head and body. You can see the background through a tiny slit! But it still looks fab.

There is a natural sort of "ruffle" around the neck, and i tried to keep that so it would look more natural. Im glad you noticed though and pointed it out. perhaps when i get home from work tonight i can go back to the .xcf and blend it a little better. Im glad you think i have wonderful ideas! ~ By the way, the contest ends tonight. I shall start the judging tomorrow! :sweat:

Me too! Although the people who said they were going to enter (which was the point of the extesion) only have 2 hours left now. I am not on their watchlist, so i noted them.. I am not looking forward to judging all these great entries... I think i will call on my mam to help me!!!

Well, to up the prizes, I could paint the winner one of my "small" watercolors.

Would that help?

MissLittlewood In reply to DigitalPhenom [2007-02-19 12:44:43 +0000 UTC]

At fist i thought it was just Photoshop, so i re-installed the disc, and it's still doing it. But then i noticed it was doing it with other programs too, so there is obviously something wrong with my system. It tends to happen mostly on Windows Media Player - It came pre-installed on my PC, (WMP 9) and after re-installing the system, it automatically "updated" to WMP 11. My whole system is really buggy whenever i use it.

Im glad you like the image though. Since it's been up i have spotted a few flaws so will update it later when i get home from work tonight. Thanks for the too!
