Description My friend Autumn (~carcadann ) had some great advice when I mentioned I wanted to put a rat in my picture. She said "Don't do a rat, because then people think "ewww, disease." Do a mouse, so people think "awww, disease!"

This took 3 days and was one of the most complex paintings I've ever attempted. I almost never do interiors so I thought I would try to redo [link] - the character in that painting was the basis for Emme Anders, my plot device from Thorns.

See if you can spot the hidden details

Brilliant job!

You know what I like most here? The rat. I love it's tiny textured fur, and it's just so cute. And the girl looks awesome of course -- I love her hair and outfits. You have a lot of patience with background. The colours are breathtaking as usual. <3

I like how the girl isn't scared of the rat (Or has she simple not noticed it yet?)

SCARY DUDE IN THE CORNER *flail*

Love her facial expression. And the colouring, especially the details in the wood and the texture hints you've added to the sacks of foody things. And yeah, I love the dude in the corner

Dude in the corner is apparently the most appreciated part of this painting I should put him in more of my paintings.

Wow, I was just going to say this was a cool picture, until I saw it full-sized and saw the guy standing in the shadows. Still a very good drawing, but now it's kind of creepy, too.
I like it. Great job.
