      Hey, thanks guys for your advices, they´re welcome. 😉
      I´ve added a light coming thru at the corner of the gray tree, and desaturated the background 10%, I´ve created a layer of orange solid with opacity 20%, so the atmospheric felling is better.
      The character expression now is determined, so I think is better than scared. 🙂

          This is looking great. You solved the problem with that top ear but I still see the tangent with the bottom ear and the the bottom rail. I'd make that ear come out and drop lower than the bottom rail. Right now they are curving together almost making one continuous line.

                @Jose-Ramos its such a cool picture that i have to make you consider another change...;) i like the bluish colours more, they look more deep... are you sure about red colours? I know, that everyone has different taste and opinion so dont worry about my opinion,, if you dont agree

                  @aska Hi Aska, thans for your comment, well, I´m not sure about red colours, but they do not dislike me either.
                  I´ve tried to change the background color, and make it more late in time...I mean, more night time.
                  which do you like more? 😉

                    Still blue ... 🙂 I looked closer at all versions and I think that, what drawns me to the blue version is texture and delicate look. Also Iam not sure of strong reflections on the tree in the last two versions. Perhaps you could tone your colours down a bit, add texture and make the reflections a bit more delicate? Its really a cool picture tho and cam impressed how easily you change rabbit expressions without changing the rabbit itself 🙂

                          @aska Ok, I´ve added texture, and I think I have 3 options, A,B,C... 😉 My favourite is B.

                            @Jose-Ramos Wow! This is really progressing well! I vote for B 🙂

                            I would suggest adding a little more space between the top of the treehouse and the big branch of the tree in the foreground (maybe that branch could be slightly smaller ?). Right now it feels a little crowded.

                            I think the story is funny, but not perfectly clear in your image. Changing his expression helped a lot! I am thinking what if you would add a letter flying in the distance (a ransom letter) It would be like he read the letter, grabbed his bike and left fast to collect acorns and left the letter behind him. It's a little hard to explain! I will try to do a paint over tonight if it's not clear!

                            And maybe his worm friend could be sitting on his shoulder ? looking terrorized.

                            But I really love where you are taking this 🙂

                              Lovely comp! Love the colors of all of them. I really like the last one. I have another suggestion, The Rooster with the arrow, I should point him towards the rabbit. Then It draws your eyes inwards, now its pointing towards the branch (out of the illustration) . I think you really don't want to put attention there. A worm friend makes the illustration more fun, Kids love litte jokes or 'easter eggs'. Good luck, your almost there!

                                  I don't think it needs any texture. Kind of muddies it up a bit, especially the characters
