Description This is old...from my second to last semester of school, but I forgot to post it back then. It's...kind of morbid. Very strange. A little different. I kept drawing the same old thing every day in my advanced drawing class and I was in a terrible mood one morning and my teacher was getting on my case about trying something a little different...maybe running with the same theme of what I *like* to draw but pushing it a little farther...give it a story, a narrative.

I think it was the mood I was in, but this is what I gave her.
Needless to say, she loved it. Go figure.

I honestly have no idea what's going on in this picture other than that there are a lot of rats that appear to be maneuvering a very dead looking weasel.

WOW and I just realized that I plumb forgot to give the top rat a tail. Fancy that!

(I do not know if this counts as horror/macabre...but it's a little grotesque perhaps because of the weasel so there ya go.)

The rat lifting the weasel's head, and the one looking down, seen from the underside, are my favorites. I'd like to see this taken further; the ratties deserve their victory! lol

Delightful!
Beautiful line work!
The top rat does have a tail, but you see in 3 dimensions it is pointing directly away from the viewer behind the rats back. Tadada!

This is just so amazing. You can almost feel the volume of the animals, and the picture has great composition to boot.

Maybe that one rat just lost his tail somewhere. >_>

This is awesome. The sense of movement in the rats is perfect! Do you own any rats of your own? Or do you just have a knack for picking up movement through photographs? I especially like the rat gripping the ear, and the one on the hill below him. Great!

oh my god.. this is absolutely fantastic even as a black and white image! I am completely flawed by how well you drew the anatomy of the rats (something im learning currently).
All those gorgeous dynamic poses too! Very well done :3 its lovely to see more rat art even if its macabre
