I prefer the one to the right as well.

Also, jealous! I got the short end of the "cool sign" stick. I'm either a rat or a crab. :c

How is a rat NOT cool?!?! Rats rock!

Hey I'm a rabbit too! Although I don't know what I am as far as colors or elements are concerned. Not sure how to find that out. XD

I generally like the idea of it having the shadowed other limbs, but the position of the shadowed back foot really bothers me. I can't exactly pinpoint why. I think its because of the shape (the fact that it curves and the other foot doesn't) and the length (that it looks longer than the foot in the foreground).

Either way you go about it, can't wait to see it! <3

thanks for the input, i'll set about tweaking it for sure! it was supposed to be the only foot on the ground as she leaps off, but yeah, me and anatomy still have a lot of problems... so i will definitely fix it! this is just a rough draft.

as far as your element, were you born in 87? because then you're the same as me. :D

Yup, 87! :3 Does month of birth play a part at all in the chinese zodiac?

And I can understand what you were going for with that, it just seems a little anatomically wonky. I was trying to look up some decent reference pictures though, and it seems pretty rare for their movement to actually naturally create a pose like that? I do not know a lot about rabbits, but because they're known for their distinctive hopping movement, I'm guessing they must propel both back legs at almost identically the same time (unlike pushing off with one foot first, like, say, a cat would do).

I'm having a super hard time finding a picture of a rabbit in motion from a profile view! This is the best pic I've found that exhibits what I was thinking about how the back feet must work: http://www.myhouserabbit.com/images/tavshans4.jpg

Here's one that looks a bit more like the position yours is in, more of a running leap instead of a casual hop: http://www.bear-tracker.com/newimag.....abbit83008.jpg

Here's a good pic of a rabbit "launching off" that I just found: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3043.....b7680e8cc5.jpg

Anyway, sorry if I am being annoying or unhelpful! I just like this idea and I think it is going to make a wonderful tattoo. I love how simple it is and how things are stylistically broken off into sections. And purple and orange are so lovely together! Its going to be awesome. :3

wow thank you for taking the time to find these! :D the second one is probably the most accurate, so *studies that anatomy* thanks for the compliment on it, too, i was really unsure about it at first but it's grown on me so much. and i want at least one tattoo that's my own art!

i don't think the month matters in the chinese zodiac, though i could be wrong.

I am glad I could help!!!

And I know what you mean, I sort of want to design my own tattoo, but I fluctuate so much on my opinion of my work. Years down the road from now I don't want to be glaring angrily at a tattoo I designed and nitpicking all the flaws. lol!

I like the one on the right, and I'm a rabbit as well <3 I have two rabbit themed tattoos so far, but I want more. I want to get something Watership Down themed one day... Like something stylized like the beginning of the movie :3

I'm for the left one myself!
