looking for some creative ideas for this rabbit I will be mounting as my first lifesize. FYI the bunny is domestic white color and is being tanned by shelby.

need ideas for the base too
pics:



feel free to photoshop what you think would look cool, or pics of live rabbits is fine, considering everything that is thrown at me, rabbit tips would be nice, and I've already heard they have thin skin, so don't tell me that again

Good Luck, you are starting out with a very difficult specimen for your first lifesize.  My advice is just go slow and take your time and they are not to bad to work with.  I would do just a common sitting pose, since it is your first one.

I would make it jumping out of a tree landing on an elk with only it front paw touching the elk's back.............er wait we are talking about a rabbit........  how many different things can you do with a rabbit?  Rabbits only have 2 gears....... sit dead still, and run like hell    so   sitting and or  running/jumping are your two options

HAHA!

My neighbor is a big gardener and she's got tons of critters hopping around everywhere.  There is one rabbit that lays almost daily on its belly with his back legs stretched out straight behind him.  Its really funny/cute looking.

You could pose the rabbit in an attack pose to make it look like the Killer Rabbit in Monty Python.  Grin 

But yeah, otherwise, rabbits don't do much, at least mine doesn't.
