Happy Year of the Rat!!

Featuring plump rats relaxing in a dim sum sauna--something I'd love to do right now. There're plenty of work that still need to be done but I don't have the time to refine it...

Anyway, a quick explanation: The mustard rat is covering his ears from the firecracker that the brown rat will light, while the white rat is too busy enjoying (the steam?) to notice--his poor little heart will be getting the shock of a lifetime (which isn't very long for a rat, though!)

Comments are very welcomed!

I'm going to regret working on this all night instead of the lab protocol...

-EDIT- Wow! HUGE thanks to everyone who enjoyed this, especially to =shadowed-light-waves and ^PurpelBlur for suggestion and feature! I feel so honored, like I've won an award...a really special one. I've always loved being a part of this warm and fun community, and this is quite rewarding. Thanks for making my day!

*note* In my attempt to make rats look more amiable, I believe I've created a hybrid of rat/mouse! Apologies for the confusion. I just wanted to make the dim sum dish look somewhat edible! I'd say they look more mouse-y too :)

nice job, but I'll be scared to death if a waiter comes up and take off the cover having all those rats inside the container or whatever it's called in English lol.

Quite a few of these pictures are also up on ~Humanimorphism... I didn't know we were allowed to do that. :wow:

I have two accounts too, one for drawings and one for digital painting. :clone:
