Design notes for the hellrabbit, along with some sillier interactions.
- Includes a step-by-step for its head from the side:
- start with a circle
- weird shape juts out (upper jaw)
- long ears and bigass eye
- add human nose, flat molars, and front teeth (2 big front, and on both sides 1 curved back and 1 pointy; the four in front are all very flat)
- jaw is like an arm, plus a connecting line at the “elbow”; it has 2 “fingers” and 1 “thumb,” and doesn’t close
- Notes on the rest of it:
- neck is often “hunched”
- body is like, Very Stretchy Human
- overall stance may vary (crouched, kinda-standing on four legs; god forbid it goes biped)
- forearm shoulder juts forward
- elbow lines up with ribcage
- hand can rotate but not far forward
- fingers rotate way more, forward and back, and the non-thumb digits tend to cluster
- leg is… leg. Big Foot
- can walk flat-footed or on toes—length is fudged
- All on one canvas: a hyperdetailed head, a hopping rabbit (“yee haw”), and a content rabbit with its jaw clamped on a human character (Addison)’s arm. “I,” says Addison, making a thumbs up, “love nature.” And a note below all that: “this layer is unholy”
- A rabbit breathes heavily, shaking and drooling, as another person (Kay Lin) sticks an arm right through the gap. “See?” she says. “Nothing all the way through—” And from offscreen: “Kay Lin what. No”
- Yet another person licks an ice cream bunny, which is melting. Delectable.
- “Now now,” says Addison, head nearly enclosed by a rabbit, “I think there’s been a misunderstanding—”
- Last but not least, a rabbit labeled “FireAlpaca” looks down wide-eyed at a bunch of acorns, labeled “100+ layers right out the gate.”

Snippet of a monthly art roundup, story edition. Ironically that’s one of the longest roundups thus far (as of May 2022), yet this is one of the shortest rabbit-snips.
