So, technically I really shouldn't have this on my dA site, as this is in my portfolio. But... I decided to make an exception, as I knew you guys would really enjoy it. I did this last summer for a friend's gallery showing, and I sold it a few months ago. It features an adorably fluffy bunny version of Marie Antoinette proclaiming "Let them eat carrot cake!" Her enormous dress, inspired by French fashion plates from the 1770s, is garnished liberally with her favorite vegetable, and her little fan features rabbits frolicking in a pastoral Watteau-like setting. The medium is light acrylic washes, painted on watercolor paper, on which I had photocopied the original drawing.

Daily DeviationBunnie Antoinette by ~suburbanbeatnik is absolutely stunning! It's quite a clever twist on our traditional idea of Marie Antoinette. (Suggested by =heartofglitter and Featured by `cooley)

surely never lighted on this orb a more delightful vision...little did I dream I'd see such disasters fallen upon Her, fairest of all queens, Marie-Antoinette
Because of some RL stuff I have bunny issues, but god this is beautiful.

The lipstick stands out for me for some reason. Probably because it matches the eye color somewhat.

I also love the fan.
That is so awesome! What fashion plate did you use, do you have a link?

"Tribulation first makes you realize who you are." - Marie Antoinette :rose:
I got it mostly from plate #3 in this book- [link] - "Grande robe a la francaise and bonnet a la victoire." I also looked at this picture by Moreau le Jeune, which you have probably seen before... [link] ... Anyway, hope that helps! :)
I'll have to add that to my shopping cart! Hm, Stella Blum... isn't she the one who edited "Fashion Plates from Godey's Ladie's Book?" And yes, I have seen that picture many times.
