Description
There are many legends from different cultures that say there's a rabbit in the moon, I couldn't find the one that inspired me to do this, but it was the one when the rabbit sacrifices itself, and the gods reward him, sending him to the moon.Photoshop.

The rabbit-in-the-moon is surely Chinese, I remember it from a storybook I had when I was little. I love the slightly disturbing look of the painting

I think the legend I read was Mexican, but it's been more than 15 years ago. Either way, it was a beautiful story. Glad you liked it!

I have always seen this kind of bunny shape in the moon but I never knew of the story of one. Nobody else I know can ever see the bunny shape when I tell them about how I see it. Now I know that part of me isn't crazy.

The shape I see is slightly different than what you drew but much like it because it's kind of hunched over like you made it. My bunny vision is a bit contrapposto because it bends and twists. Instead of arms pointing downward they are pulled in to the chest and the head and ears tilt downward facing outward and the body twists, I guess starting at the shoulders so that you see one hind leg and the tail in profile. This is a rather complicated description and I'd be better off to draw it as I see it instead of talking about it.

I tried to found the reference ( or at least, what gave me the idea) that I used, but it turned out to be so different! I guess I took a few artistic liberties without realising

Wow, just amazing! this is the first time I've ever said this, but that is actually better than what I imagined when I read the book!

This one's a real stunner - beautiful work; very imaginative, and the mood you've set goes well with the legend.

This makes me think of the animated movie Watership Down.

I saw the movie a looong time ago (it freaked me out a bit, to be honest

Yea, It's a disturbing flick. O_o
I was obsessed with it as a child and I still love it.

Maybe I need to give it a second chance, now that I'm older

It's graphic but that's part of it's charm to me.

Hey! haven't been on in a long time, this looks awesome! It looks like Pastels, not photoshop

Hey! welcome back!
I said some time ago that I wouldn't use photoshop anymore, but when this idea struck my head, the only medium that seemed logic to use at the time was photoshop
Glad you liked it!
