Hahaha! <3
This is very adorable. :3 Silly fennec! x

hehe, thanks. :)

Not sure you're holding it right. Watch out for your toes. :P

not sure, either. I just couldn't find a reference so quickly. so is it with spontaneously created art; you take what you get. ^^

him holding the bow wrong adds to the cute imo

enlighten me, please. I always thought that way would be correct?

whatever, thanks for the comment. :)

it looks like the fletching, the feathers of the arrow, would hit his paw holding the wood of the bow, with as fast as the arrows might get, it could hurt or cut into his paw.

here;s what I found

Hold the bow in your right hand. Place the tip of your thumb in the "U" created by the frog. Bend your thumb to wrap your other fingers around the bow. Your thumb should always remain bent while holding the bow.


Place your index finger over the bow. The first joint of your finger should rest on the back of the bow.

Naturally curve your middle and ring finger over the bow. Don't grip the bow, your hand should curve over it gently.

Place the tip of your pinkie on the bow. Your pinkie should be bent curving to touch the bow.

Now that you have all your fingers in place, lift and lower the bow. You should feel the weight of the bow in your index finger, thumb and pinkie finger. These are the main fingers that will help you control the bow. By applying pressure to the bow with your index finger you will create a louder sound. By lifting the bow slightly with your pinkie finger, you will make a quieter sound.

Practice holding the bow and playing. Remember your pinkie and thumb should always be bent while holding the bow.

thank you for those infos. I'm not sure if I understand all correctly (language barrier), but I will look for references so next time the respective critter wouldn't hurt themselves. :)

I guess the little tyke above will soon find out he's fallen back in bad habits holding the bow. ^^

you're verry welcome. and it's no problem :) just did a quick search about proper bow holding. the hand and the feather just an observation, i'm no expert, but he's a young un!

that's true. and who knows, maybe I can find a cheap book about shooting a bow to use for references. :)

googling for images most times doesn't lead anywhere. you have 3 millions hits, of which 2 millions have nothign to do with your parameters, and of the remaing ones the majority is useless for your needs. :P

for those result, it's bows for instruments try adding archery in the search term as well.

good point. thanks! ^^

yvw, i left a comment on your page there also.

so cute ^u^

hehe, yes. :)

http://bowhuntingvideos.net/HTML/40.....Gary%20bow.JPG should help ^^ ...still think its cute as hell as is

it does. thank you! I'll look more into it whenever the need arises again, so the next one will be accurate. :)


hm... what if we assume the little guy would be a leftie? ^^

wonghusky2 is correct, so i agree it still looks cute

*gg* thanks. :)

if he can get a few with one arrow he can call it a kabob.

and then in a row would be a strike. but if you encounter that many locusts in one row you might be in trouble... :)

well he'd eat them so they'd be in trouble right? It's a funny idea. heh heh.

hehe, no, I mean if there are ten in a row, there are usually way more over that hill... XD

Then the Fennec needs to go get his brothers and sisters and friends. lol

the world's hunger problem is solved! I be a genius! XD

=^_^=

Very cute, and great job with the proportions too =)

hehe, well, I just had to go chibi on a fennec. :)

thank you! ^^
