Description
A gift for Mystee.While this is a squirrel, I have to admit, I cheated a lot. It's no particular squirrel species. I liked the general light-dark placement of the Eastern Grey Squirrel (especially the white around the eyes), and I love the ear-tufts of the Red Squirrel as well as it's reddish fur (but not the all-over red), so I created a hybrid. Maybe it's the love child of a grey and red squirrel mating?
Paint, ink, marker on a Woodblock.

Before I read the description, I was thinking the white against the brown looked really great.

Again, very nice! I'm liking the three-dimensional nature of the woodblock, with the indents. And that tail looks really fluffy.
