**Update: still not finished, but really is anything EVER really finished? Oh, well. Looks at least more like a real painting now. [26 Dec 2011]
Still a very early work in progress, put this idea to canvas in about an hour. Although not at all the vision in my head, I'm liking where this ended up going. The crow is a longtime obsession which I'm looking forward to painting out in full. The idea of a stiff Victorian trained rabbit (but at all the Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland) has been rolling around in my head for some time.

The sketch below is done in chalk and charcoal.
