This is fold-out mini poster that would be inside the second Move to the Music CD "Wild Things!". The front art and CD have a zebra pattern black and white with red title lettering. For the insert card I decided to show the girls in their main stage costumes lying on the back of a handsome male zebra. It not only showed of size difference of the girls well, but it also was nice bit of pinup that tied the main colors of the album graphics. I'm hoping to have a print example of this in the A/C art show.

Given the choice I'd much prefer them on me to tattoos. I imagine the toy lines and figurine industry would be quite interesting with life-sized poseable versions of the fans favorite mice, especially those cast from full-body scans. So would the girls mind the naughtier uses some of their fans would put such to or just consider it a hazard of being stars you can't prevent?
I really like this a lot, Baron. You don't seem to draw the mice interacting with the bigger folks all that much, so it's pretty cool to see all four band members together in a creative way, and in colour too! It certainly does emphasize the size difference and open up some more unusual types of interaction. I'd certainly love to see more. :3
Yeah I'm proud of the piece and your correct it does show the size difference; therein lies the trick of doing them. Since the size difference is so great between mice and bigums you have to be very careful how you compose the shot to make certain that the mice don't get lost in the picture. In fact the big trick in this was making certain there was a enough differences in color between Isabella's white fur and the white fur of the zebra. I was able to use the dark stripes of the zebra to frame the girls faces but I had to avoid tangents with the stripes to!
When I think I have a better idea of how to handle the lighting I want to do a piece of the girls on stage waving at the crowd during a performance. of most the crowd will just be shapes but I'm still debating how to show the bigum crowd in background. The mice crowd that is closer to the stage, and the girls and still keep the perspective working? I'll be able to tackle some of it by atmospheric perspective but it is still unfinished in my mind.

Erg I had the same though process when playing around with your girls on paper. I just imagined just a bigum stadium, but on stage there was a mouse seating area and then another stage on a stage if you will and the huge view screens would mostly be for all but maybe the front row of bigums. I wold love to see how you would have planned the stage though
You're right. I do a fair amount of macro pics, and composition is very important. Typically, you can use a zoomed-out perspective, sort of like what you've done here, to help show the size relation between the subjects and the environment. It tends to make the big character appear relatively normal, and the smaller characters appear tiny. In this picture, isn't a lot of environment shown here, but that music player you threw in does the trick. Without it, if someone were viewing this as your first image and weren't aware of the usual heights of your mice, they may think it's the zebra who is giant.
You can add more detail to the smaller characters by zooming in, and that really emphasizes the size difference between them and other characters or objects. Foreshortening, albeit tricky, comes in quite handy in that case. If you're showing a micro and a macro like this, then depending how far in you zoom, the macro character very well may serve as the surrounding environment. In these style pictures, the small characters appear normal and the larger character appears pretty massive.
On a related note, I've noticed that macro artists who like to draw their fursona as giants typically prefer the first style of perspective, and those who like their character smaller prefer the second. Personally, my favourite is the latter. Though I may be slightly biased in that sense, you can still show a lot of detail in your mice if you put the perspective in close like that and throw in some foreshortening. Perhaps give it a try for another piece. :3
By the way, since your characters seem to all have names and an impressively detailed personality and history, does this zebra too? Interesting choice of attire. I wonder what the mice thought of that. XD

Actually I don't know his name. He was a male underwear model that they hire for the photo-shoot, and yes while the girls are not in macrophilia they thought he was easy on the eyes. Oh, and they didn't mind laying on him either!
Of course photos like this do stir up the rumor mill and there are all kinds of speculations about the girls relationships since they keep that very quiet. This leads some people to believe that they are all lesbians and are in some kind group relationship, and then photos like this spawn all kinds of other lurid tales. There is no lack of slash-fic about them.
