Description
Here is the story of a rat who would be a warrior!Malachy is a liaison on behalf of his nation (whatever nation that is). He's also a family rat, a scholar, a philosopher, and a devout rat where his faith is concerned. He was sent to the minotaur kingdom to help negotiate assistance in a proxy war the minotaurs were fighting. As things moved along it became apparent that Malachy's nation had little intention of helping the minotaurs and Malachy was there more as a gesture of political stunt to show the minotaurs goodwill (should the minotaurs win). Malachy is almost thrown out before he promises that he'll get them help no matter what it takes.
As such Malachy has to go about repairing his broken relationship with the minotaurs and hast to win over their respect again. Even if it means becoming one. Thus is the premiss of the story.
The first picture on the left is Malachy before when he's just his average self and the next picture is a little bit further into the story when Malachy adjusts himself to wearing minotaur gear. He doesn't look to happy about it.
Comments and critiques are more than welcome.

Not specifically Redwall inspired no. But it's true that a lot of inspiration in anthro art can be attributed to Redwall influence.

I suppose you have a point haha. I certainly draw at least a little inspiration from it

You've got a recognizable style (in a good way!). Malchy's such a cool character in both, the look and the character. The story also sounds pretty cool. At first I wanted to read it as a book with illustrations but now I want it as a comic, would look awesome and with a lot of action scenes.

Your artwork is brilliant and i fell to my liking, but I had a little trouble with the understanding of the description (I read it as much as me to my knowledge of the English language [average] supporting Internet translator) and if I have understood description of it is clear that Malachy is a pious, educated and wise rat which is like a hyphen/member between his nation and the Minotaurs. And it is these Minotaurs supports in some war, along with his nation + was not persuaded to participate in directly from standard war (which is a very happy and you can see it on your expensive image when it is in the guise of a war of Minotaurs). If I understood it wrong or something here is missing, then you could Salvestro, please explain it to me
PS.: I'd give my all to find on his site to be just such a real warrior, just like it happened with Malachy (such a highbrow which I also am, is a real warrior 
Twoja Grafika jest genialna i bardzo mi przypadła do mojego gustu, lecz miałem małe problemy z zrozumieniem opisu (Czytałem go tyle na ile mi pozwala moja znajomośc języka angielskiego [średnia] wspomagając się tłumaczem inernet) i jeśli dobrze zrozumiałem opis to wynika z niego że Malczy jest pobożnym, wykształconym i mądrym szczurem który jest jakby łącznikiem/posłem pomiędzy jego narodem a Minotaurami; I on te Minotaury wspiera w jakiejś wojnie, wraz z swoim narodem + Został przez nie namówiony do bezpośrdniego uczestniczenia w wojnie (Z czego jest niezbyt zadowolony i widac to na drógim twoim obrazku, gdy jest w przebraniu wojennym minotaurów). Jesli to źle zrozumiałem albo czegoś tutaj brakuję, to jakbyś mógł Salvestro to proszę wytłumacz mi to
PS.: Oddałbym wszystko aby znaleźc się na jego miejscu, aby zostac takim właśnie prawdziwym wojownikiem, tak jak to stało się z Malczy (Taki intelektualista którym ja równiez jestem, zostaje wojownikiem z prawdziwego zdarzenia

Yes, you understand the story correctly.
I'd love to be a real warrior also. Malachy is very lucky.
