Here's the first in a brand-new line-up of fanart (& original art) for all of you wonderful people here on DA! This is a picture featuring 4 characters from my currently-unofficial "Great Mouse Detective" sequel, "A New Beginning".

In the movie, these little guys & gals are Olivia Flaversham's other cousins, who live with their parents (Aunt Leesha & Uncle Gordon) on the family farm in Scotland. (They also appear in Chapter 2 of the fanfic version of GMD 2, but they're the children of the Flavershams' neighbors, as opposed to their relatives, who live in a house next door to the family farm. Originally, I wasn't planning for them to appear at all, but the more I thought about it, the more appealing the idea sounded to me, & I eventually ended up changing my mind.)

And look--what's this? The Mouse Avenger has done her first attempt at making shadows! ^_^ Yea, I've reached another artistic milestone! Of course, this is my first attempt, so if anyone has any pointers on how to improve my shadow-making, feel free to pass them along; a budding artist & animator could always use the help!

I really do feel that I've made the picture look nice with the addition of shadows; not only does it add depth & realism to the work, but it will also give it an official-looking appearance, should I decide to use this as a model sheet during production of the sequel at Walt Disney Studios... (In fact, this will also be the first picture to go in my GMD 2 Dream Box I plan to give to the folks at Disney! How they'll love it! )

In the meantime, I'll satisfy any curiosity you may have, & introduce the other Flaversham cousins to you...

Cousin Doug: The oldest child of Aunt Leesha & Uncle Gordon, this 12-year-old mouseling always seems to be getting into trouble or mishaps of some sort--in his first scene in the sequel, he falls down from an apple tree, & later on, during a game of hide-&-seek, he gets stuck in another tree! Despite his tendency to attract bad luck, however, Cousin Doug tries not to let his misfortunes get to him while he's having fun & spending time with his younger siblings (Fran, Russell, & Wendy) & cousin Olivia.

Unfortunately, Doug can sometimes be a bit reckless in his play, & occasionally, he'll end up nearly (if not actually) getting somebody hurt while they're playing a game (one time, he nearly caused Olivia to drown in the farm's swimming hole during a game of "shark hunt"). However, Doug is not afraid to admit his mistakes to others, which makes him a very honest & responsible mouseling.

Considerate, thoughtful, generous, & empathetic, Doug is very devoted to his family, & he's always trying to do something nice for them (in one scene, he uses his crayons & paper to make an alphabet book for his little sister Wendy, who will be entering her first year of school shortly). Sometimes, though, he can be a little argumentative when someone slights him or his efforts at "doing something nice", & it's difficult (if not impossible) to win a debate with him (if you try to back up your point with an "infinity" number, he knows just how to top yours!).

Even so, there are also humbling moments for Doug, who continually finds himself to be greatly impressed & amazed at his cousin Olivia's sense of adventure & her ingenuity, which often comes in handy whenever he & his siblings are in a jam.

Cousin Fran: Aunt Leesha & Uncle Gordon's second child, a pretty girl mouseling at the age of 11. A bit of a girly-girl (but not too much), Fran's all for going on adventures & playing games with her siblings & cousins, but her "sense of adventure" is not as broad as her cousin Olivia's--during a game of hide-&-seek, she can't even tolerate hiding in the slimy, moss-covered inside of a log!

Fran also tends to be a ditz who's somewhat air-headed; though she definitely has brains, she's not really one to use them much of the time. Of course, Fran wouldn't admit that to anyone, not even herself; she does her best to sound like a smarty-pants little know-it-all who thinks she always knows what she's talking about...when she usually doesn't.

Cousin Russell: The third child of Aunt Leesha & Uncle Gordon, aged 8. Playful & mischievous, Russell enjoys playing with toys, joining in games, & going on adventures with his siblings & cousins.

As a result of his hobby for partaking in all kinds of different sports, Russell is a lot more physically-athletic than his small size suggests, but he tends to underestimate his own strength, which leads him to overuse it (just ask Cousin Fran--she got bopped on the head with a ball Russell was playing with, but had dribbled a little too hard!).

Cousin Wendy: The youngest child of Aunt Leesha & Uncle Gordon. This adorable 4-year-old mouseling (going on 5) is well on her way to developing her language skills, & just in time for her forthcoming first year of school! Always seen clutching her doll in her arms & carrying it with her wherever she goes, little Wendy is lively, active, mischievous, playful, & eager to join in on her older siblings' adventures.

And now, for a brief copyright & disclaimer:
All "Great Mouse Detective" characters, properties, & elements (C) Disney.
The other Flaversham cousins & the above deviation (C) The Mouse Avenger (that's me). (Though, hopefully, they will one day be (C) by Disney, as well! *crosses fingers*)

When you're finished reading, please be sure to leave feedback when you're done. I'll take anything from comments to constructive criticism, as long as they're not flames or delivered in an overly-harsh, stern, or mercilessly-nitpicky manner.
