Something inspired by my favorite Novel that I wanted to illustrate for a long time now. El-ahrairah from Watership Down, a book that never ceases to inspire and influence my work.
For those that don't know El-ahrairah is a very special character in rabbit history and folk lore often times depicted in stories told by the rabbit characters in the book.
Here he is shown after giving up his ears, whiskers and tail to the Black Rabbit in an attempt to save his people.
So, yeah. I'm pretty happy how this turned out, it's pretty stylized and kinda different from most of my work; some things where inspired by the animated movie and other WSD art I have come across while browsing. It was fun to experiment on this piece.
Another one to add to my pile of color this if you ever find the time to!
This is incredible. The stories about El-ahrairah are so amazing and I love that you were so inspired by them. In my opinion, this is one of your best works and I would absolutely love to see it colored someday. He looks so cute with his fake ears.
This is seriously my favorite (ok, maybe second favorite next to the commission you drew for me!) thing you've ever drawn.
