Description Another Illustration assignment, this one to create an..."outrageous" advertisement. I don't know if it's really outrageous or not, but even I can feel sorry for this guy now, who I normally dislike intensely, so I guess that's something

Should have stopped stealing cereal from children while you had the chance, buddy.

Ink, watercolor, and an x-acto knife ripping into the paper for the letters. I hurt my hand.

HEY while you're in the rabbit asylum, BE SURE TO AVOID THE NOID, or so I hear tell.

Oh my- I just love this idea. I can seriously say I never would have thought of this myself. ^_^ But I always have felt bad for him. I mean seriously, why can't they just give the rabbit a freaking bite of the cereal or yogurt.

I'm not sure what I was on to think of it myself XD But their reasoning is so illogical, isn't it?

Thanks so much He is really pitiful, I think XD The predicament is so petty, and yet he's never allowed to have what he wants.

Jordancatgirl7 [2008-09-23 23:47:41 +0000 UTC]

I adore this picture! We all knew that he was insane but to take it to that next step and show that's he criminally insane for that crap cereal; that's just so creative!

Thank you so very much, I'm glad you think so It's just my way of trying to add a little more dimension to the flat advertisement gimmick XD

You're getting really good with watercolors! I'm impressed - this is such a clever image. I like how you handled his ears.

soltian In reply to Lokklyn [2008-09-25 08:07:37 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much I've been having a lot of fun experimenting with different media since I transferred. I think his ears are the what I like best about his appearance, so I went too far on them XD

Woah. Great textures and stuff. Gotta say, I wish the rabbit looked a lot more sinister, though.

Thanks very much I can see what you mean, but I guess I meant him to look more horribly depressed than dangerous XD

CRUNCHATIZE ME CAP'TN. But I always felt sorry for this rabbit that can't even buy his own yogurt without some kid stealing it away and junk. :'D I LIKE THIS ONE TOO. >u>!!

AAHHAHH. i always hated that guy, too. i was just like "wtf why do you want that nasty cereal ne ways" (i was a cheerios kid). but god, this is amazing. HIS FACE AND IT LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE TOOK A BITE OUT OF HIS EAR. it's awesome. :<

I KNOW HIS CEREAL SUCKED AND HE WAS SO CRAZY FOR IT AND NONSENSICAL. So I tried to like him, instead, and after this it actually worked. I love gnawing ears, and the least I can say for him is his ears are fucking huge

I bet he has a single table all to himself at the cafeteria. "Don't go near that rabbit, he's f*ing crazy man." Really cool with the x-acto knife writing on the wall, well done on displaying that underlying bitterness through the character and setting.

soltian In reply to cupil [2008-09-23 21:38:45 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I definitely was enjoying imagining him slowly going nuts as he realizes he'll never see his beloved Trix again. Though he must have more issues than that, he's really just a damn junkie. Thanks so much

Its basically Brer Rabbit in the hood, so if you get offended easily, you might want to skip it. It has another title as well, but I cant remember it. Just as well, since as I recall, It was rather shall we say insensitive.

You're getting really good with watercolors! I really love the texture that you created on the wall *_*
