Year: April, 2006
Notes: Some of my characters as baby ratties. Kyuss, Warlock, Jester and Faith should be obvious but the two who are fighting at the back might not be. The black one with the pink toes is Schism, and the agouti with the head-spot is Zero. Rats of all ages like feathers so it was an obvious accessory. Kyuss almost had fuzzy little balls until I was assured he'd look cuter without them, be thankful.

Ok, first off, I hate this picture. Lets go through why: It took FOREVER. Each rat took about 3 hours. And thats just sore when the end result is something you don't like all that much. I actually started this some weeks ago and abandoned it, almost finished, for a while. I just couldn't face it and each time I opened it to work on it, I gave up only minutes later.
Also, this is the stupidest use of space ever. I could have arranged them to fill the space better but as it is, there are big useless gaps that I can't even crop out because of the stupid way I've arranged everyone.

On the upside, everyone is cute (except Faith, obviously) and I like Jester's hair like this. I kinda wish I'd adopted it as his regular hair, now. I have no idea why I chose to use the style he currently has, the whole blonde streak thing. Jim actually had that hair for a tiny amount of time, so why I chose it I don't know. He looks better with the short spikey hair. And it was more fun to draw. But I HATE changing characters once they're established. Gah.
Faith's attitude is, as you can see, unchanged regardless of age. Kyuss is sleeping, because thats all he does. The things in the bowl near Warlock are lab blocks, staple diet of lab rats. My boys eat them too, they're kinda like little square biscuit things, and they seem to like being crushed into the carpet.
