On the hunt




If all the animals of the world were cute and cuddly, would we still see the act of 'hunting' the same?

This is a piece done for the Calgary Expo art book this April.
I wish I had more time on this one but I like the idea.

Things have been quite busy these past few months... many great and exciting things happening this year.

- Marcelo Vignali will be starting registration for his Schoolism class on Drawing Fundamentals soon.

- Kris Pearn will be starting registration for his Schoolism class on Storyboarding soon as well.

..and did someone say something about vinyl toys?? Coming summer 2008 :)

Very exciting times... and more news to come!

As excellent as always Bobby (although I had no idea Terry Pratchett was so cruel). Really beautifully done.

Funny thing is, if animals looked like that, I'd see such "hunting" becoming more popular, as people would pay top dollar pets like these.

Look at those cute little buggers! Great concept and cool designs Bobby. They probably got that small because of the lack of vegetation in this region. The only diet is marshmellow millworms! :) (What is a millworm anyway?) Oh well. I love it!
