I thought I would add a note or two how I created this. I very much like rabbits having had 9 of them some years ago. I also enjoyed the Lord of the Rings trilogy and in one of those, I remember giant rabbits that were pulling a chariot like you would see a horse do. The idea really fired my imagination. Then it just evolved into the idea of Christmas, and a lady riding the giant rabbit like a horse. She would be bareback and just hang on by grabbing a good clump of his fur behind his ears. I thought of instead of a lance, she would be better and more appropriately hold a giant candy cane. So, I thought I will need a snow shoe hare built for the snow and chilly weather. I looked at all the rabbit characters I have and I have pretty much got all the bunny's smile

I found Lynn Rabbits which were actually free and they had a good shape to them as the Noggins rabbit tends to show the canine structure too much. There was much work getting the rabbit looking right. I researched the internet and found some nice pictures of the snow shoe hare. I had to add some additional morphs to the rabbit to get the necessary lines of it right. The tail the head, body, and legs. I can tell you, it was a challenge and I loved it! Eventually I got to the point of building the scene. I used V2 for the lady and a nice Christmas outfit. I added LAMF Look at My Fur to the bun to get a nice fluffy bunny. I created custom poses for V2 and the SS hare. I fixed any poke-through before rendering in Iray. I added an Atmocam to get the hazy atmosphere. The rabbit rider rides through the kingdom and spreads the word of Christmas.
