Oh man, the tail's a little long but that body is amazing! I love that scraggly/buggy look you got with the thorax.

i should have pulled the tail in a bit before i tied it ito the body but it all just kind of happened--first hares ear so...can only improve

Great one for a first, I don't think I've ever seen one with that shape to it, but I do kind of like it!
