Description I have so many sketches holy shit I never realised until I had to compile all of them in dumps like this

Ahem, yes. Sketches from the beginning of 2013, up till March I think. These are all of my characters, I guess most are familiar by now as I seem to draw much of the same characters haha. The whole period from the beginning of 2013 up till June was pretty dark and depressing for me, so I haven't drawn as much as I would do under normal circumstances. But still, it didn't stop completely, fortunately

As for what we have here, left to right, starting at the top:
- Benjaminn, Madeleine, Tuyen (yellow-throated marten), two Mortimers (garden dormouse) in extremely different moods.
- Lin the ferret (she's blind) and a sequence of Ben having a headache/feeling really bad/basically showing my feelings that day. Millie would be the little spark of light making things bearable again. Oh, before you ask, Ben is not actually sick/dying or something, I just needed a character to vent my dark feelings with and Ben just happened to be best suited that day. Sorry Ben.
- Esben the beech marten and an athletic Sibirica the Siberian weasel. Akiko the red panda is a bit confused/curious, and a drawing of Sibi holding a stick on fire, the way I used to back when I first created her...
- Another William as a human portrait, much like the one in the previous dump. Esben being all threatening, Maloki (also as a scrawny human kid), the devious fox siblings Jacke (left) and Lamia (middle and right). Lamia considers fur hygiene of extreme importance, she'll always look healthier and better groomed than her brother Jacke.
- A drawing of Elias in his 'original' form, as an anthro sheep-rabbit hybrid. He's pissed off at something, maybe someone disturbed him in really focused work, or maybe he just can't figure out a solution to a problem and it's driving him mad...? Then, 3 portrait sketches of human Elias, with this design I'm pleased.
- Finally, when I was looking up Enfield references (that mythological creature with a fox' head, eagle front paws, wolf butt and lion body) I came across a lot of heraldic art, which inspired me to draw my own characters, Zosimos (left) and Sibirica (right) in a similar style. Little monsters very suited for this sort of stuff, hah.

That's it for now, new sketchdumps will follow soon, unless you don't want to see any more of this?

Nah I'll upload anyway.

They are all so cute! My favorites are the nervous looking cat at top, and the red panda in the middle.  And the foxes are too adorable as well.  I love your sketchdumps!!

THIS IS AWESOME! In my opinion, the ferrets and the foxes are the best.

Your facial expressions are some of the best I've seen on DA, whether they be animal or human, they really bring the characters to life.

I absolutely adore how you draw rodents and mustelids!
But my top favourite is definitely Mortimer! That running pose of his is brilliant!
