      I like the addition of the little rabbit. It makes it more cozy (in spite of the thieving fox!) I think the composition is quite good and has a nice flow. Are you planning on adding any other color? I like the old fashioned tone but since you put the rust color on the young rabbit, I didn't know if you were going to add spot color anywhere else. I was thinking you might add a bit of rust color on the chicken's comb to call attention to it.

      I love it!

        @demotlj Thank you Laurie! Iโ€™m so glad you are liking the little rabbit. Iโ€™ve been experimenting all day and cleaning up edges and lines. I think I will be going with the addition of a lantern next to the little rabbit ...was thinking this was early evening and the lantern could give me a more believable way to add some warm color in and around the rabbits ( the chickenโ€™s comb should get a bit of color too as you have pointed out ) - Thank you for the feedback!

          Still lots to do, especially on the characters(and tree trunks with no bottoms etc. ๐Ÿ™‚ - but was hoping someone could give me a yay or nay on whether or not the water was starting to read as water - any feedback always very appreciated - thanks!

            @Kevin-Longueil It definitely reads as water. I really like the monochromatic look and I almost don't want you to color it. I really hope this one wins.

              @chrisaakins Thank you Chris! I will keep it mostly monochromatic as you say and I am glad to hear that the water is reading as being water ! Iโ€™m not sure why I have suddenly become so unsure of this piece but it was really helpful to read your reply ๐Ÿ™‚

                  I love this so much. Something about your style is so soothing, even if the subject matter is a little dark. Nice work โœŒ

                        @Jeremy-Ross Thank you Jeremy! I am so glad to hear that you like the OZ stuff ๐Ÿ™‚

                        Thought i should post the "final"on to this thread - so much detail is lost from the original...not sure what lesson there is for me in that...
