Froody! It's like Alphonse Mucha meets Gustave Dore'.

The only thing I can think that could be fixed at all is the rabbits. Compared to everything else, they just don't look like they got the love and care that the rest of the scene had.

They just aren't realistically "shaped like" rabbits,. Stylization is good, but these look almost oversimplified for the scene they're set in.

Overall, I love the textures and expressions and all the crazy detail in this peice. Every little leaf?! You must be going blind! All that texture, how can you handle it? Truly inspiring work.
