So cute! I love the depth of the picture and the towering background and then the campfire-coziness of the characters.

Quite the tall tale the big bunny is throwing together. Nothing can ward off the towering clutter like a good bunny horror story, and maybe some hot chocolate. This picture is magic, dude.

Bella Sinclair said...

Help! Someone please pick me up off the floor! Honestly, this is AMAZING. I want to study all the little pen strokes and the details and the whimsy. Just when I think you've outdone yourself, you go and do it again. Emily, can you please make this one available as a print? I'd love to hang it!

OMG! this illo is fantastic! awesome clutter! love the perspective and all the tiny details!

1Q: how much time do you spend on a piece like this?!?! wow!

Emily said...

um this one took about 6 hours... from sketch to finish... its the shading and filler that takes the bulk of the time.
