Description
A cute little inspiration I had the other day, when seeing a church-banner with an elephant and a mouse on it.This could later develop into an idea for an animated parable as re-told by animals - the basis being faith and perseverance.
(The actual idea involving this optimistic little mouse and a very negative elephant who needs a boost of self-confidence to get himself out of a scrape)
This little harvest mouse, despite being one of God's smallest rodents, has set his sights on a couple of large red cherries hanging from a low branch.
The tree itself being a bit too high for him to scale directly, he's trying to reach them a branch of a nearby bush - but they're barely within reach. Nevertheless, if faith was measured by size, this tiny harvest mouse would be an elephant... with such detemination, he's sure he can succeed! Just needs a little perseverance...
I may later find time to continue this with a short series of pictures, showing the results of the harvest mouse's efforts.

Maybe- I honestly wouldn't know what to do too much, I'm terribly new to this whole 'art with technology' thing, wot wot!
But yeah, texture to the fur and environment would be a neat addition I think and really add to the piece.
Thanks man! ^^

Ha,This looks cute! ^^ I always find it neat when mice use their tails to kind of hold onto things like this little one here.
You can do it little guy!

Ah... tempting sweet cherries. He should be careful or he might fall.

Heh, yeah... but even then, he'd only consider that a setback!
That's why having a prehensile tail is useful!
Thanks for the fave!
