Description
"And there they found, waiting for them, him from whom they had fled. There were others in that burrow also - shadows without sound or smell. The Black Rabbit has his Owsla, too, you know. I would not care to meet them." ~Watership DownNot my normal style, or my normal subject - but I've been reading Watership Down lately, and I had to draw some rabbits.

Oh my god a Watership Down artwork *-*
So rare and even more so rarely brilliant.
If you liked that book, I hope you don't mind me recommending the books "The Sight", "Fell" (<- those two actually are two volumes of the same story) and Firebringer by David Clement-Davies.
Not sure how hard it is in the U.S to get a hold of them but if you ever manage to get them, give them a shot. They're reeeeaaally good.
Besides I wouldn't mind seeing you painting something from those novels xD

OH MY GOSH WATERSHIP DOWN!! I was never able to get a hold of the books or the movie but I've heard so much about it and I've seen so many videos that it's amazing when I find art of it because I'd love to watch the movie and maybe the book if it's not too long

Brilliant composition. I like your interpretation of the Owsla as shadows of the Black Rabbit himself.

Thanks! Reading that scene gave me such a cool mental image, I just had to draw it out - I love it when books can do that!

Agreed!
Now I just have to force my hands to crank out what my brain sees.

I dunno, from what the books says that Owsla were pretty inefficient. More shadow than substance really.

I'm re-reading this at the moment too. It's a genuinely spooky book, considering it's about fluffsome bunnies.

Indeed - I'll never look at rabbits in the same light - they're tough little critters, even if they are fluffy and adorable ;3

Thanks! I just finished it and I have to say, it was an instant top 5 for me! :3

I love that book, especially the stories they would tell.

I love it, too - the rabbit's folklore makes the world so immersive - makes me feel like a rabbit myself!

I remember the cartoon serie from when I was a little kid. Didn't know there was a book of it...

The book is very good - long, but it holds your interest every step of the way. I highly recommend it! I'll have to watch the animation one of these days.

Oh okay, if I ever can find it I'll give it a try.

I've never seen the movie, but the book certainly has me on an emotional roller coaster!

loved that book, though the black rabbit wasn't an evil being

Death alone is never really evil, it just is. However, as living beings who have a built-in fear of dying, we tend to see death in a negative light.
