    And images from the recent illustrations i've done for a recipe book for a rabbit rescue charity.
    The book was called "How can I get my kids to eat carrots" I believe. And it was focused on nutritious meals for picky children and some tricks to disguise vegetables in meals.

    Some are photos pre-penned and some are line inked, and some are digitally coloured.
    Also, the chapter fronts are actual profiles of real rabbit rescue stories, and each represent a new section.

    First some profiles.

    Dougal - Representing Pudding Section

    Mopsey and her bonded dog Paddy - representing Salads
    [​IMG]

    The pair of Red Eyed White Uppy Ears from a recent rescue -Representing Mains
    [​IMG]

    Panda - Representing Side Dishes or Seasonal - can't remember which
    [​IMG]

    Rosie - Representing Drinks
    [​IMG]

    Zoey - Representing Starters
    [​IMG]

    Front cover options and Extras

    As well as these i did a few of other rabbits of people on a rabbit forum that showed an interest in my art work.


    Typical me style of course, for those familiar with it!

    I'm fed up of photographing my art work, i want a scanner.

    Anyway.

    Tadaaaah.

    Well done Whiley I knew you could get your pictures in a book!:gnthb::)

    Lollipop you should see Whiley's doggie pictures that she did for their owners (here on GC) they were really stunning and I for one love her art work she has indeed been blessed with a very artistic hand and of course a heart big enough for rodents of all colours.:wink: Hel.xxx.

    What a distinctive style you have, I hope you can make some commercial gain from it. I liked them very much

    Well done indeed!
