Some practice doodles I’ve made to get better at drawing rabbits. Huge thanks to @fiszi for her amazing tutorials! Without her these drawings would not exist. You can see that some on the top left are rather odd looking (The ones colored in greyscale). That’s because those were drawn beforehand, but I figured I’d include them to show just how much I’ve improved. If you guys can make out who anyone is supposed to be, then congrats. I think I accidentally drew Hyzenthlay on the first page, tried to draw Bigwig a few times with uh... mixed results, and there’s a doodle of Blackberry too.

To anyone wondering what’s happening with The Flying Fox, I’m working on that. Next chapter should be out sometime next week.

To those wondering if I’m gonna draw Zootopia stuff again anytime soon, the answer is (hopefully) yes, though I’m rather out of ideas in that department.

“Sliflay Hraka, U Embleer Rah!”

Had a hard time coming up with an actual title, since "Bigwig drawing 2 attempt 4" wasn't that catchy. I take it any one seeing this who's here for my Zootopia related (or aircraft related) artwork is probably asking what the hell this is. Well, a few months ago I saw Watership Down. I liked the movie alright, but didn't really find it that great and decided to pick up the book, because I was very interested in the concept itself of rabbits having their own language, religion and well, culture as a whole, but still figured it wouldn't be anything too special. This is now my favorite book. I can't really describe why it works so well, but it just does. I'm rambling, aren't? What was the topic again... Oh, right, "what the hell is this?" This is a drawing I made of one of my favorite scenes in the novel, the moment in which Bigwig (Or Thayli, in the orginal Lapine) becomes a certified badass. I can't say much more without giving spoilers (Or sounding like I'm saying gibberish to those who have never heard of this book). I relied quite heavily on reference for this, since previous attempts at drawing rabbits in anything other than a Zootopian style have been... less than successful, to put it nicely. In fact, I tried my best to match this screenshot:

As for the title, poorly translated from the original Lapine, it means "Eat shit, you damned chief!". I was going to use a line from the book, and us such it could only either be that one or "My Chief Rabbit has told me to stay and defend this run, and until he says otherwise, I shall stay here", which while perhaps a more important line in terms of character development, is a bit too long for a title, isn't it? Besides, it's a crucial line with no subtitles or footnotes that can still be easily understood by readers, which in itself says one hell of a lot about how great the world-building in the novel truly is.
