Mr. Rabbit's Big Adventure

This is the evolution of a little drawing I did in French class a good year ago. 

So this is just the original sketch.


This is the sketch after I had traced over it in Sketchbook Pro. Only the rabbit it somewhat done.


This is the finished rabbit with wings and arsenal.


I then decided to add a background. I still stuck with a very dark and monochromatic color palate. I added some reds and oranges to the wings though, making them more dynamic. I also darkened the shadows of the rabbit, adding some extra contrast. I also ended up cropping the picture (a poor decision because I forgot to save a version with legs still in tact. I later missed the look of a whole rabbit). 


I changed the background to a much more vibrant mix of colors. I was experimenting with bright colors and such because I desired to develop a colorful style in my work, but I was nervous for some reason. It ended up working out alright.

At the time, I was also pretty excited about a new longboard shop that opened in Salt Lake City called Epic Boardshop. I now realize that the shop really isn't that great, but I really liked them then. I liked them so much, that I put their logo into the picture, using a feeling of extra depth with the type to make things more interesting.


I decided to increase the saturation and take out the type. I like the brighter colors.


This is a slightly less saturated version of the one before. I also added the logo of the local longboarding club just for fun, along with a crop.
