I finally finished this family tree of my Spanish lagomorph OCs, yay!

I decided to redesign a couple of them. I also changed Lilium's name to Martagón because I wanted a less generic name, plus it sounds more fitting. All characters have their names in spanish.

I've been thinking about this idea since 2022, but I haven't done much art of them since then. So this is something.

(I know the final edit is crap, but I got tired of trying to make it better. I also included the drawings on their own so you can review them better).

If you want to ask anything about these characters, feel free. Or not, I don't know lol.

I also want to clarify again that these characters have no connection to Watership Down beyond inspiration. This is a world of its own that I want to be its own thing.

'He didn't use me. I used him. When he felt taxed by twenty minutes in bed with me, I had free reign within his chambers. I studied, I learned, and one day I inevitably used one of his own spells on him. He underestimated me, thought I was just a weak slave. That was his biggest mistake.'

Fin avril, je suis allé retrouver à Christine dans le Languedoc, à Narbonne, pour son prix de poésie.

Ce jour-là, une très belle balade dans le Parc Régional de la Narbonnaise-en-Méditerranée, plus précisément à Peyriac-de-Mer, autour de l'étang du Doul.

Nous voici entre l'étang du Doul et l'étang de Bages-Sigean. Un héron cendré, des coquillages, et, dans l'ordre, un Ophrys jaune, un Lin de Narbonne (apparemment, une espèce endémique), une Mauve arborescente, une Aubépine...
