At last he turned to Rabbit,
With a twinkle in his eye.
"You'll be my favorite creature
And here's the reason why:
Your eyes are bright, your feet are swift,
Your ears hear round the bend.
But your very simple humbleness
Will steal the heart of men."
~S.J. Tucker, "Rabbit's Song"~

Okay, so this kinda got out of hand. I always, always wanted to create a drawing inspired by one of Tucker's songs, even though I rather thought about "Raven's in the Library" or "Cheshire Kitten". But I saw the prompt, and I had no idea what to do with it. So I started to doodle a little rabbit. Then I saw the new bunnies from today, especially the black-n-white one with the stripes and thought I might want to do this one. But kinda abstract, with swirls and stufff. Yeah, you see how it ended
Anyways, hope you like. Please listen to the whole song if you have the time, it tells a wonderful story of a trickster trying to find animals to help him teach and guide mankind. But most of them are too scary, too big or too stern for his taste. Under a tree he finds the strange group of a crow, a raven, a coyote and a rabbit, all of them being a bit on the odd side. And he decides that those four are the best of all beasts to aid his case. It's lovely and maybe not too Easter-ish but a nice lesson for life
Greets,
Schnee
