Here's another drawing of a pine omarsum. This was done using an HB pencil to sketch and 005 and 01 micron pens to outline. The grey frame was added digitally. Pine omarsums usually have more than one kit but tbh I just didn't want to draw all of them. :')

Here's a few interesting facts about this creature:
Pine omarsums are a fictional hybrid of pine marten and opossum. This makes it rather difficult for classification, but they are placed within the infraclass Metatheria. Members of the infraclass include but is not limited to kangaroos, koalas, and of course: opossums. Pine omarsums are about the size of a small dog and closely resemble martens. They typically have a palish face but will occasionally have brown fur on the face instead of biege or cream. Omarsums do not have semi-retractable claws like martens. However, they have long fingers and opposable thumbs on both fore and hind legs to help them climb and grasp trees. Omarsums are omnivorous and can consume both meat and plants, but they typically have a more carnivorous diet. Some of the omarsum's favorite foods are bird eggs, small rodents, and carrion. The average lifespan of a pine omarsum in the wild is 3-5 years.
Like many other marsupials, female omarsums have a well-developed marsupium (pouch). Omarsums typically give birth to litters made up of 5-13 kits. Kits are still undeveloped when they are born and must climb their way to the mother's pouch to continue their development. Kits that don't survive the journey are oftentimes consumed by the mother to replenish lost nutrients. Kits start to leave the pouch between 2 to 3 months after birth. Unlike opossums, juvenile kits don't always cling onto their mother's back and will sometimes be found trotting alongside her and learning skills such as hunting and scavenging. Kits leave their mother at about 6 months after birth.

This is my entry to BeckyKidus 's animal contest: beckykidus.deviantart.com/jour… Your contest inspired me to draw this animal in a realistic form. I actually tend to draw this animal as anthropomorphic more than feral but now I think its feral form suits it well if not better. :3
