5 x7, more mixed media--this was on a patterned paper (you can still see the kanji in the rabbit's body) The red rust-like marks arose from applying molding paste in lines, deciding I hated it an hour later, and sanding it most of the way off, then coloring the remaining bits with acrylic ink. Went back to a glossy medium to seal this one.

I've been drawing rabbits with plague-doctor style masks for two days. Too much Assassin's Creed 2, maybe. I can't shake the feeling I've seen rabbits in masks somewhere before--it seemed less like an idea I was coming up with than one I was remembering--but I failed to turn anything up on Google other than a bunch of REALLY creepy photos of kid's masks*, so maybe I'm hallucinating.

Prints available, original is for sale. [link]

Simplistic and really sends chills! If I were to get a tattoo, I might take from this (not any time soon, unfortunately, but were I to, would you mind?)

the mask looks like the mask of a plague doctor from the middle ages. They used to wear white masks with beaks and inside them would be garlic or something because they thought that protected them from getting the plague.

My dad had this plan to make the costume of the plague doctor and wear it to Dutch Elf Fantasy Fair this weekend. But it's not finished.. He did do lot of research: my father wrote and drew a lot of stuff about them in a book.

I really like how you drew the rabbit with the mask. The background fits it and gives it a certain mood. Well done 8D

Oooh neat, the plague-mask gives a really eerie, macabre feel to the what would otherwise be a cute and fluffy image.

I'm having the same sensation. Not to seem like I'm bandwagon jumping at this stage, but I can't find the remembered rabbits in masks either.

Maybe there are masked rabbits lurking in the collective subconscious.

That's a weird and disturbing idea, now that I think about it.
