Description Inspired by the song “The Fox, the Crow, and the Cookie” by Mewithoutyou, which was inspired by the old folk tale.

While the tale is great, something about the imagery of the song really brought it to life to me. I tried to incorporate as much of the dessert imagery in as well as the whimsical feeling.

This was also a personal experiment. I tend to get too “character” focused in my art and not… “art” focused. Here I wanted to focus on the overall feeling of the picture, notjustthe characters. I wanted movement, a coordinated color scheme, and interesting lines.

Copic maker and pen on bristol board.

I think you've done a great job of combining the character and the feeling

I love the duppy puppeteers best of all. ("Hi guys!" )

This piece of art is EPIC. I hope people appreciate and buy the prints you've made, dangit.

I'd say your experiment to break away from the character-oriented art is a SUCCESS! The layout is really well done-- even though the fox is the smallest figure in the image, the eye is drawn straight to him. And I LOVE the use of white and gradients on that bird. 8D
The little details on the crow's face-- the angle, the shine, that crazy tongue-- they make me happy with glee.
THAT DROPLET OF PURE BERRY PIE-- ULTRA-BEAUTIFUL REALISM WHAT?? THOSE BEAUTIFUL, LUSCIOUS BERRIES SO COLORFUL AND NICE-LOOKING I COULD LEAP RIGHT IN TO THE IMAGE HOW DID YOU DO THAT.
Also the cherries.

The cornucopia of desserts is fantastic, as eye catching as jewelry-- SO well done, so creative! So colorful!

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE
