She's a brick house - in colour
This is the colour version of my illustration of Max's story. Coloured quickly by computer, and I'm not sure whether that makes the picture better or worse, so I posted both and hoped someone would tell me which they prefer...
("They both suck", while entirely correct, wouldn't be a very helpful answer)

You get my fave. And, I always like color over lineart when I can come by it. But *Shrugs* hey... maybe I shouldn't be so particular about that.
Btw... I noticed something... the spelling of "colour"... are you in either Canada or the UK, Zee?
(Since Canada and Europe spells it that way, and we in the states drop the "u" in there for whatever reason.
If so, that's VERY kewl! I always like talking to artists outside the US.
See... small details like that don't slip by my watchful watch. lol

I've been caught by a detective wabbit! Yep, I'm in Britain. My fursona Zee-Zee is American though, so he can play with all the other American babyfurs I know, and because the USA is home of all the best cartoons.
On that note, my "Summer Morning" story struck me as a bit strange, because I always use the American words like diaper instead of nappy, pacifier instead of dummy, crib instead of cot (why does every baby accessory have a different name on either side of the Atlantic?), but to me the setting was so completely English, I couldn't imagine it taking place in the US. Nobody else has said that, though, so maybe that's just me...

Heh-heh... well actually, I think you're wrong on one small part there... Count Duckula, which was UK made, (and fortunately, shown in the states here as well), was really quite cool!
What I didn't know at the time when I caught it back when it used to air here is that the opening narration was handled by none other than the (now) late Vincent Price... movie star of various horror movies for years.
Also, my absolute favourite (note the spelling there, lol) animated mvie of all time is Watership Down, which was also UK made and released, and based on a novel released by British author Richard Adams.
Watership Down does happen to be a real area that's a pretty good way outside of London. (Like maybe 80 miles... sorry, don't know the distance in kilometers. lol). I think the town It's near is either near Kingsclere or Burghsclere, since those real life towns surround the equally rile life area of Watership Down in the UK countryside around those parts.
And, they actually have a walking tour called "The Wayfarer's Walk", which takes visitors through some of the area around there. Richard Adams grew up somewhere around there, and, I think may still live somewhere in that area to this day.
Oh yes... as you can tell, I made it a point to learn about all this. Because, I SOO would want to see the real life Watership Down in person if I could afford to travel there.
I've seen digital pictures on the Internet of the real place, and while the beauty Isn't quiter as surreal as the animated movie, it still looks VERY beautiful for the real life place as well.
Also, you see... my ancestry happens to be a roughly 50/50 British/Irish mix, with a touch of Welsh and Finish as well. I have Irish looks, and a British last name.
That ESPECIALLY is the main reason I feel I connect with the UK since it was listed right on the birth certificate for my grandfather (on my dad's side of the family) that his parent were straight over here in America from London.
Oh btw... that bizarre situation with that seagull that walked into a London store and store a bag of chips and walked out made news here in the US.
lol! They showed the actual surveillance camera footage of that, and I couldn't get over it! Further proof of what I've said about animals for a while now... they're FAR smarter than people think! They really are.
I joked with someone else about that and said "guess the gull wanted some chips with his fish". lol
And, also, just to show, I know some Brit slang on some things...
Elevator = Lift
Tube/Underground = The London subway
Telly = Television
Public House or "Pub" = Bar
and more.
Oh, but anyway... to get back to the American cartoon topic... *Sigh* I'm sorry to say, that too much in the way of American made cartoons seems to have gone mostly extinct. We now turn to Japan, and other countries to make much of the animation for our TV shows by now.
Even Disney now seems to be more focused on using that 3D CGI animation stuff than traditional hand-drawn animation, which I feel is a bit disheartening.
And, when it comes to the word for the bay stuff... I not only knew the Brit term for diaper, but also know the Spanish and French words for it as well...
Panales (Pronounced "Pon-yal-ez") is Spanish for diapers/nappies
Couches (Pronounced "Coo-shays") is French for diapers/nappies
So, yes... as you can see... my point here was that I'm pretty Brit oriented in some ways myself.
My fave BBC show that did show in my area (But no longer does currently) is the hilarious BBC comedy show "Red Dwarf", with Craig Charles as Lister, Cris Barrie as Rimmer, Danny John Jules as Cat, Norman Lovitt as Holly, and the rest of the wacky crew.
Also, when "Robot Wars" showed here briefly (Which also had Craig Charles as the show host) that was a great TV show as well.
There's been talk about the possibility of making a Red Dwarf movie, but no filming has even begun so far.
But, by now, entire box seasons of all the season of the Red Dwarf show can be bought on DVD in some stores.
If you've seen any of the shows, or know of Watership Down, please give me your take... I'd love to know.

Heh, the revenge of the number one US myth about Britain! WE DON'T USE KILOMETRES! WE MEASURE DISTANCES IN MILES! ALWAYS HAVE, ALWAYS WILL!
Sorry, I've just never understood why Americans all believe we use kilometers over here. :)
I speak German too - diapers are Windel (vin-del). German potty-training books are about ten times as long as English-language ones, and a lot of fun to read.
Red Dwarf is fantastic, except the last two seasons, which were awful! The dialogue between Lister and Rimmer in "Future Echoes" is one of my all-time favourite scenes, because it's just so cleverly written. They made a pilot for a US version of Red Dwarf, but it wasn't taken up.
It's true that there are lots of good British cartoons - as well as Count Duckula, have you seen Dangermouse, made by the same people? But all the great ones with cute and cuddly animals seem to be American.
I love the book and the movie of Watership Down!

Actually, yup... I did see Danger Mouse, but that one just didn't work for me personally. Count Duckula was fave between the 2 easily.
And, yup... I did know they were made by the same people. In fact, Duckula was a spin-off show from Danger Mouse.
And *stares blankly into space* REALLY?? You know, here I REALLY thought the US was actually one of the last countries on the planet still using the old system of measurements.
But, I guess It's just as well (for me anyway) because, I know that when it comes to the metric system, so many things wind up not balancing out in nice, even, round numbers... so much turns into fractional numbers in the conversion between the old systems and the metric system.
And, I'm just not liking fractional numbers much. *Shrugs* Anyway, sorry for my misunderstanding about the UK using the metric system.
How is the Euro doing over there? Still has not overtaken the classic pound, right? For the US, they did some talking at one point about doing away with the 1 cent piece. But, we still have that coin in circulation currently.
And... ah! "Windel" means diapers in Deutch, huh? Cool! Sure... I've certainly heard of "Kiddy Windel" via the Internet, but did not know (until now) that was German for "diaper".
And, my fave episode was the one where they used a visual trick when so much of the live action played in reverse, due to them being in some odd alternate dimension or something where the flow of time went backwards rather than forward.
So, for instance, when Lister socked that guy in the face, he actually made the man's lost knocked-out tooth reappear back in his mouth rather than knocking it out, and all other kinds of stuff during that whole reverse mode sequence inside that bar during that brawl.
It was like nothing I've ever seen before or since. I'll never forget it, it was just that great! lol
Wish I could remember the name of the particular episode, but ahhh *Shrugs* the memory of the wabbit here is not so good sometimes.
And, getting back to the topic of Watership Down...
One of my life dreams used to be getting to see the real life Watership Down. To climb to the very top, just like the rabbits in the story, and think of the classic line from Dandelion "Have a look! You can see the whole world!".
I still would like to a LOT, but *sigh* oh well, I suppose.
