Description "He held to her protectively, lovingly... this human creature he loved and loathed with such equal measure. Why then did he continue to seek her long after her usefulness had passed? No... this one was more than just a provider... this reckless spirit he held so close to him now was something more. Something a ratkin of simple rodens upbringing couldn't quite understand just yet, but something he'd soon know all too well. That ugly... beautiful emotion... love."

An online persona of mine... for you White Wolf fans out there who're familiar with the Ratkin breed, he's a Rodens PlagueLord essentially. I rped a lot with a friend we call Banter on the Forum I played at and she was a scenester to the extreme, so when I started randomly doing one of my usual lil 30-45 minute sketches, I was certain to add that splash of personality to her character. She loved it so much, she printed this and Melfian - The Rat Who Would Be King out and uses them on her class work folders in school. ^.^ I'm quite flattered, to be sure!

PS: That thingy on his head is fashioned after that while lab mouse in Japan. If you don't know about it, Japanese scientists rigged wires and a mocrochip into the brain of a lab mouse in order to see if they could control its movements with a remote-control device. There's a photo of it floating around online. Its easy to google it up. Weird stuff, it is.... very weird and a bit disturbing. O__o;;

This sketch is really well done, and the broken vials at the feet are a good testament, however, I am curious: What is his deformity? (Plague lords are metis...)

Indeed they are... and sincere apologies for the tardiness of my reply. I've been moving to a different location and 'net availability has been an issue. >.>;;

No comments on this yet? How can that be? This has to be one of the best ratkin sketches I have seen!

You think so? ^__^

I'm glad you like it. It was inspired by my rattie, Basil. I've another sketch of him I'll be addind sometime next week that has Baz's markings on it, but its in anthro style. I swear, there aren't enough folks willing to sketch and draw were rats!!
