Description A quick little request piece, which gave me a few for.
We were sketching a bit on iScribble the other night, and he wanted to see my own take on Frederick, curled up asleep just like a real ferret.

Drawn, coloured and shaded in about a couple of hours in Adobe Photoshop Elements, with my Wacom stylus.

So when he's asleep his clothes magically vanish? >:3

Frederick: It depends. Usually, I wear a nightshirt, but if it's very warm I just sleep in my fur.

That's ferrets all over... short limbs, long necks, wiry bodies...

Danbuster: He does look rather sweet like that! *covers him with a blanket, so he'll keep warm and not be lying around naked*

I agree that Frederick looks cute while sleeping.

I wonder if he was so tired he urgently needed a nap, or maybe the book content made him asleep...

DCLeadboot In reply to RTJDudek [2012-09-05 21:31:03 +0000 UTC]

I guess he just had a long hard day!
Didn't even have the energy to put a nightshirt on, or climb in his hammock - though anthros aren't too worried about being in the fur, I guess...

This explains much.

I agree about the second part, fur prevents from cold.

Spencer: Having fur saves you from flashing in public, too!
Frederick: OK, that'll do, matey!

I think you drew with a higher realisme this time

DCLeadboot In reply to hawleym [2012-09-03 15:05:53 +0000 UTC]

My style is usually pretty cartoonish, though I do tend to veer towards realistic-looking anthros.
