Black Rabbit of Inle

Description

Recently I've been listening to Death Cab For Cutie - I'll Follow You Into the Dark. It's a beautiful song that speaks to me of how love doesn't just stop because a person dies, and transcends the boundaries of the plains of life and death. The video for this song revolves around a pair of rabbits in a sketch book. They meet, and play and dance and fall in love. Than one of the rabbits dies and the other lays down at it's side and, from the looks of things, follows the little one with a broken heart.


This in turn brought to mind Watership Down. I've never seen the films nor the series, but the novel was touching enough. I've always wanted to draw the Black Rabbit of Inle, and have taken a few minutes to conceptualise it.

This is a totally different style altogether for me. I plan now to make a mixed media version too, with collage and other wonderful things. Critiques are welcome. I know it's a tad lopsided {in that there's more going on in the left hand side} and I would appreciated suggestions and critique.

Love for the bunnies :(

I love rabbits. I had a pet rabbit that died recently. This pic makes me happy, but sad at the same time. :raincloud:
