A pyramid of critters

This piece was quickly completed over a weekend.

 


For the stag at the top, and the pairs of deer, foxes, rabbits and badgers, I stayed with shades of browns and greys, all neutral, and varied the tones within them. I took liberties with the hedgehogs (iridescent blue/purple!) and mice (decidedly jaundiced). 

I broke away from the usual green for the few leaf vines and rendered them in burgundy and blue, inspired by team Aston Villa's colors. A rather pleasing combo, I say. 

All in, a fun piece to do, rather fewer leaves than the five kajillion that Basford is wont to draw!
