Someone in insmallpackages asked for "art- a "tribal" design of a black rabbit that I could use for my icon or a banner on my page".
So I did this drawing (black biro on paper),  photo insamllpackagesrabbitphoto_zps3be14895.jpg
I photographed it then played with various effects. Of course I can't decide which one looks best.
Plus I tried an icon but I think this probably doesn't work very well as there are too many lines in the original drawing to work when it's shrunk down so small.

So here are the banners
#1 using a texture adrenalineshots gave me ages ago

#2 which is a sharper effect using pareeerica's rainbow spirits texture
 photo insmallpackagesrabbitbannerrainbowblack_zpsc8a13720.jpg
#3 using the same texture with a different mode
 photo insmallpackagesrabbitbannerrainbow_zps60275c12.jpg
#4 using the same texture again
 photo insmallpackagesrabbitbannerrainbowblue_zps2ae76e75.jpg
And the wee icon  photo insmallpackagesrabbiticon_zpsae40b813.jpg which I could have another go at if the giftee wanted.
Oh and if the banner is the wrong shape/size I can fix that too - and add words if wanted.  No probs.

Cheers m'dear! I fear my Loki was a bit naff as nobody else commented on that, so I'll take it these are a bit more successful! LOL

That is gorgeous! I could see that becoming the basis of an awesome tattoo.

Thanks a lot! Yes, it could be a tattoo; these designs are good for that sort of thing.

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!! I AM FREAKING OUT!!!!!!

I'm sure it wasn't hard to guess that I was the wisher on that one, I totally didn't read the part about it being anonymous.

BUT THIS IS THE BEST. Absolutely, absolutely PERFECTLY what I had in mind. If you scroll back through my journal, you can see my tattoo, and your art looks like my tattoo came to life.

My favorite one is the one on top, I love the tone and feeling of the background. The Blue one too.... omg, all of them. I still have to figure out how the heck to set up my journal, so I probably won't get around to putting them up until the new year when the kids get back in school.

Thank you, thank you, thank you SO MUCHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:)

Ha ha I did wonder if it was you - but of course I have no idea how many black rabbit lovers there might be on LJ! I'll have to check out your tat now.

Well I'm glad this is what you had in mind, that's a relief! Do let me know if you need anything fiddled with - size or if you want text added etc.

Those are all gorgeous, though I think the first and the last are my favorites!

Mine too - that first texture is lovely as it gives a kind of burnt, burnished, beaten metal feel to things, somehow. Thanks!

Thanks very much! I was drawing this style a very long time ago when I discovered Native American art, it's fun to play with.

I've always thought Native American art was gorgeous :)

WOW, you drew that? You're amazing!

Thank you! Doing that stuff is easier than it looks - I suppose I could do it digitally easier but biro is more satisfying! LOL

Amazing artwork -- the intricacy of the tribal design is breathtaking! The original drawing and the blue one are my faves, but they're all gorgeous. Congrats on a beautiful piece, bb!

Thank you! I love drawing this style, I used to do it all the time when I was at school so it was fun revisiting it.

Wow I like how you draw the rabbit! I like the last blue one best because in Chinese mythology and literature the white rabbit is often associated with the moon :)
