Bad Mouse!

A friend of mine introduced me to Avalanche Software Artists' blog. I've been marveling over their talent pretty much all week and I'm sure continue to marvel into the coming weeks. I've been inspired to break out the pencils and (aah!) the imagination for myself. Considering I have done basically nothing for the past 8 years or so, I'm a little rusty.

I decided to pull out my sketchbook and one of the first things I attempted was a cute little mouse. Here's how the sketch turned out.



The mouse didn't turn out very cute. Or nice. He looks kind of bitter. Like he was created just a little too late and missed his big chance at fame. As if there are any famous cartoon mice out there anyway, right? Maybe I'll stick a wedge of cheese between his little paws and he'll brighten up a bit. At least it looks like a mouse. Doesn't it look like a mouse? Kinda??
