This idea has been floating in my mind for a good while now. I couldn't bring myself to draw it because it's hard to see these characters so sad! But when I came across some old markers I'd stashed away I thought "Why not? I'll give it a shot!" Thus a draft was made!

The idea for this came to me while watching "Pooh's Grand Adventure". For those who have not seen it, the basic sum up is simply this: Christopher Robin starts school and the Pooh characters don't know where he went and go on a quest to find him. It's a surprisingly dark movie for a Winnie the Pooh movie. Of course it has a happy ending and all turns out well but still... it hints that Christopher Robin is growing up.

What will happen to these characters once Christopher outgrows them? Will their personalities cease to exist? They're all part of Christopher Robin's child like imagination, right? Either way, this is just an interpritation as to how they could react if/when this happens.

I figured Rabbit is the closet thing they have to a "parent" since he's the only one with (semi) common sense and actually gets things done. I can easily see him being the first to understand what's happening and comforting everyone else when reality hits them one at a time.

Here Rabbit is holding a tearful but confused Pooh Bear while surrounded by his grieving companions. I tried to get his facial expression so it looks like he's just beginning to slowly understand that his best friend has left him for good.

Sigh. I know it's needlessly angsty and dramatic. But for whatever reason drawing angst is a fascinating experience for me...especially with usually upbeat and happy characters.

Please keep in mind this is just a draft. I know it's full of problems and mistakes, but I wanted to share it anyway. Maybe get some feedback how my next draft can be better? So please! Advice is very much appreciated.

Thanks for bearing with me. Kudos if you actually took time to read my ramblings. XD Thanks for stopping by. There will be more to come!
