My entry for Week 32 Art Explosion contest, with the theme "Vicious",
@juliakponsford/art-explosion-week-32-theme-vicious-25-steem-or-sbd-in-prizes
I wanted to make it a vicious rabbit, partly because it's Easter soon, and partly because juliakponsford made a rabbit-themed post recently :)
I started on some notebook paper with a very simple sketch. Basically just jotting down an idea.
Then I got it into the computer and continued in Photoshop:
Next step, just working it a bit more, I flipped it because I want people to read the rabbit's face first, and the fairy later. (of course this doesn't work in cultures that read right to left)
I added a sword being brandished, and a bitten-off ear, for more viciousness
Time for a re-draw, on an overlay, at a larger file size:
And the final image again. It's still possible to work it a lot more of course, but I'm running out of time and anyway I kind of dig the effect of it right now, a bit loose and fresh :)
Thanks for watching!
