garvan redux

When I last drew Garvan the Lapine I had to go back and read the text where he was first mentioned, because it always helps to freshen up on the details. I'm glad I did, because otherwise the picture might have ended up looking like the one above. It's true: the first time I read the story I actually thought Garvan was a giant rabbit. Personally I like my misconception better. The possibility of a giant magic rabit wearing a kilt living next door to you is a comforting one, and so this sketch has more heart put into it, even though technically it's all over the place. I don't think I'll ever want to draw him as a human again.

Sorry, Dan!
