Description
Awwwwww! This image I'm a bit less embarassed by. I decided to draw a slightly more realistic image of Apollo the guinea pig and this is what came out. There's nothing cuter than a popcorning piggy ('popcorning' is the term for when a piggy hops in the air and wiggles at the height of its jump- like popcorn does when it pops. They do it when they're happy. It's really a terribly cute sight.)Go, Apollo, go!

OMFG.
a) I love it when guinea pigs popcorn. Guinea pigs are just about the most hilarious animals.
b) This picture is sweet! It has such a rough, loose feel that allows the picture to really breathe in terms of action and life... It looks like rough animation!

Popcorning is so cute! I have to admit though, the first time I saw my guinea pig popcorning I thought she was having a seizure.

Awww. I love it when they do this. The first time I saw one of my pigs do this, I was amazed that they could be so acrobatic.

Yeah, it's an impressive maneuver considering they're shaped like an eggplant.

Well! I never knew guinea pigs could jump. It looks so happy. Only crit I could possibly offer, and it's very minor, would be to make its body more shaggy; that would help it "read" more as a guinea pig as opposed to, say, a hamster. It's good to see such a happy little guy, bouncing around . . .

Hmmm, yeah. That's the trouble with drawing guinea pigs; unless you can see their rear it's easy to confuse it with a hamster. Actually, both hamsters and guinea pigs can have long or short hair. So it makes things a bit tricky.
