Description The Rabbit is the fourth of all animals in the Chinese zodiac. The legend states that the rabbit was proud—arrogant even—of its speed. He was neighbors with the ox and always made fun of how slow the ox was. One day, the Jade Emperor said the zodiac order would be decided by the order in which the animals arrived at his party. The rabbit set off at daybreak but, when he got there, no other animals were in sight. Thinking that he would obviously be the first one to arrive, he went off to the side and took a nap. However, when he woke up, three other animals had already arrived. One of them was the Ox he had always looked down upon.

This is my zodiac sign! This was also the first drawing I did for the series. Apparently in China rabbits represent the moon and also they are the pets of the moon goddess Chang'e. For me, rabbits have always represented innocence and softness.

I hope you like it! Thanks for visiting
