#cowslip

Auricula or mountain cowslip. Temple of Flora. 1812. Robert John Thornton.

Ox-eye daisies, ribwort plantain, red clover, and cowslips (gone to seed) in a road verge

AFTER ~40 HOURS ITS FINALLY DONE AAAAAAAAA

THIS PIECE HAS BEEN IN WIP LIMBO DEVELOPMENT HELL SINCE THE FIRST OF JUNE! I THOUGHT ID NEVER ESCAPE IT

Time breakdown: Initial sketch to final sketch: ~13,5 hours (this was mostly redrawing, adding and rearranging rabbits a bunch of times) Finalised Sketch to flat colors and textured rabbits: 21+hours Importing it to clipstudio paint on my laptop and adding the rendering and final touches: ??? im guessing like 5 hours. Not sure tho since clipstudio doesnt record time spent I hope the watership down community will enjoy the fruits of my hard labor :) This is the first time ive drawn so many fullbody bunnies so i hope i did alright with the anatomy, i tried using references but it was still really hard.

I tried my best to make the designs somewhat believable/naturally colored but still making them varied and distinct from eachother
