Because big-eared things always happen in threes(?).
After doing a bunny-eared lion, the next logical step was a lion-maned rabbit, so here we go. It's Charlemagne, king among rabbits, there with a buddy. Naked. In a sandstorm?

Haha, you mean all bunnies, all the time?
Yeah, I don't really know what my deal is here. With the bunnies, anyway. The loose, chunky linework has been because I've been pretty busy with work, so I don't have time to do like fully-rendered paintings and whatnot. And as always, my style is all the hell over the place. The last pair were kinda different than all the stuff before them, and now this is off in some new direction, too. Haha, at least I never get bored ^_^

Aww, thanks <3
I've been way into Kyle Webster's figure drawings lately (he's this illustrator dude with a daily figure drawing blog with these amazing, quick, expressive ink figure studies), so I wanted to do something a little more classic/formal. I'm happy with how the shapes turned out, and the negative space is reasonably interesting (oh god, I never thought I'd hear myself talk about negative freaking space...)

One thing I really like about the new way I go about sketching (which is filling in a silhouette, rather than starting with lines) is that it's made me a lot more conscious of shapes and framing poses in ways that give an interesting silhouette. Before it was like okay, draw a face, now draw a body, and however it turns out is how it turns out. Now, I have a rough silhouette down before I do any detail work at all, so making adjustments and trying new things out is a lot easier.
I think graphic design holds a lot of interesting / important lessons for illustrators ^_^

what can I tell of graphic design, it that I like how it is about mixing and composing typography with images in an appropiate and refreshing way. Some messages work only with letters, some wiht photos, some with illustrations. The challenge is to find out what's the proportion most appropiate to mix those elements depending on the context.
From the study of typographyI have leaned about elements that are common with the visual arts: the balance between forms and counterforms ( the space inside the letters and inbetween the letterforms, being equivalent with the negative space in arts,) and the rithm and tones that the letterforms and as a block and as a a systeam meant to be readable comfortably.
It's pretty much about dividing the space. I have found that it can be very useful for composing images and comics. I want to take comic class soon, maybe this semester or next.

I also really appreciated learning to pay attention to typographic color and the density of visual elements on a page. Putting more details in one area, regardless of the details or the subject being drawn there, will draw the eye to that spot because of the density of information, and keeping an overall balance of that density in your composition is important, etc. I think typography's got a lot to teach illustrators, too ^_^
And yeah, it'd be fun to see what you took from a comic class. Have fun with it if you do take one.

I have almost no idea why (it's mostly the hair but not sure) but this reminded me of the face cards in your standard poker card deck...
I love how the shadow and actual bunny figure have kind of random but significant differences. This has got "crazy symbolic abstract meaning" written all over it and I'm not sure what it's saying to me. xD

It's totally just a pair of naked bunny kings swimming in a sandstorm.
Actually, even that is giving it more credit than it merits. I basically just drew whatever came to mind. I had a sort of torso silhouette that I liked, but then I went off with it in a different direction and it became the foreground figure. I wanted to take it in the direction I'd initially imagined as well, so I did another silhouetted figure in the back, but it's still 95% the same shape. And as for the pose and the colors and the background and all, that's just kind of "ooh, it'd look nice if I did X next" type non-planning.
For a picture to really be about anything, the artist has to know that ahead of time, and that totally wasn't the case this time around, hehe ^_^

Love the fiery red mane, such an unexpecting but interesting choice.
Pose is odd, but it works like a dream (you know, you dream the craziest things and at the time of the dream it all seems perfectly normal to you. I feel this has a dreamlike quality to it).
Also, add a groan at the "water shit down" pun. A very amused, hearty groan :)

Heh, thanks, dude ^_^ And yeah, I'll agree that this has a sort of dream logic to it to me, too -- that's honestly kind of the same state of mind I'm in when I paint. It's like I'll just paint something without thinking it, then reverse-engineer some kind of weird justification for it after the fact ^_^
