Some doodles of a rabbit and Olivander that I put together with a little story. Nothing fancy, but it was very fun to do!
Olivander the fox is mine. The rabbit is unnamed.

As I recall, you did once get a visit from Olivander (and there was much pizza to be had)... But how you've managed to get away since then, I have no idea!
(Although I imagine if Fluff is like any other Flareon, Olivander would find him quite unmanageable when provoked!)

It take a degree of intuition and skill to arrange the vignettes of characters and the narrative descriptions of their actions in a way that wouldn't be distracting or confusing, and you did it excellently with this piece. And although it brevity is not among the qualities I prize in a work of suggestive fiction, the unimaginably concise way of telling this story, while maintaining a sense of class and decorum, is nothing short of applaudable.
The earthy palette chosen for this piece also contributes profoundly to the vintage feel of this morbidly cute little story, even with the chef of our heart's content, Olivander, sporting somewhat subdued colours instead of more robustly intense reds that his kin is usually associated with.
More on the subject of technique, both the rabbit and the fox are depicted with impeccable proportions of stylization and adherence to animal anatomy, and it's all very refined and confident. Your earlier takes on Flapper, while adorable in their own way, had none of the sure-handed precision you used here, and whether you have been practicing intensively as I suspect or not, it's still a testament to your improvement - even if I'm not the most reliable person to make such judgment. In particular, the fourth panel featuring the unnamed and unmourned lapin flaunts a superb mastery of fluffy geometry with the rabbit's belly that has its rotundity indicated by the subtlest of shading. The character expressions, as always, are unerringly on the spot, and it is made clear that the artist didn't just off-handedly pluck fro the toolbox an old, tired mask for the actors to wear, but simulated the appropriate emotions during the working process, ennobling the creation by investing into it so.
On a tangential note, it is enjoyable to peruse the audience comments and your replies to various assumptions about the indulgent character's ambiguous(but all too certain) fate. It is almost like a spontaneous play between the inquirers and the inscrutably oblique scriptwriter. Something of the kind had occurred with the aforementioned Flapper-related submissions, and it is always a treat to witness such cunning, congenial and intriguing interactions.

Astro, as always, you flatter me with your attention to detail in your comments! Thank you!
I was rather proud of the rabbit anatomy here, though I'm not certain myself whether the improvements were from skill or mere coincidence. I'm trying to pay more attention to form and expression, certainly, as it's very much the basis for this subject matter. Expression particularly drives my affinity for pieces of this particular implication, as I'm sure you know. I'm pleased to know that I'm headed in the right direction!
And I'm glad you're enjoying the comments! I'll admit that I really never feel clever enough to keep up a banter for very long, but I do enjoy playful speculation.

A coincidental spike of competence seems like a less likely reason for this picture's highlights than a refined confidence of an artist whose subconsciousness has been processing graphical physics for a long, long time. One thing I forgot to mention was how good your character interaction is in terms of object superposition and mutual placement, including the very natural and smooth depiction of hands holding various items. The penultimate panel has an excellent instance of such interaction in the rabbit's right hand covering that of his cunning benefactor; it may be interpreted as a halfhearted attempt at resistance, but it has such lack of tone and urgency, that it might as well be seen as either an attempt to gain leverage(emphasizing the rabbit's weakness and vulnerability, thus enhancing the thematic appeal), or an affectionate gesture of trust(also thematically relevant, considering how misplaced it *might* be).
It's been nice to read your elaboration on the subject of audience participation aspect of your work, and it's a secular blessing that no severe breaches in tastefulness of such speculations seem to have occurred.
