Description
Just a small gif I made of BlankI guess the focus here is more on the actual art than the animation though , used this nifty tutorial as guidance:
[link] Β§ion=&q=rat+tutorial#/d4t6zx8 and a photo reference, still trying to get my noses right they bother me
its hard to create a semi realitsic nose style for rats i think.

Btw, I had/have an ex lab rat who was electroshocked in the name of teaching students how animals learn.
I got two brothers, Brando and Quaker, Brando died but I still have his brother.

oh wow that's so sad to hear... it annoys me so much how rats are treat as lesser creatures just because most people dislike them or think they are just small dumb rodents.
I'm glad to hear you rescue ex lab rats though, that's so wonderful that you give them at least a few months or years of good living :3
I'm sorry to hear Brando died, I always worry what i will do with my rats when one of them passes since I know they can get lonely :<

It's the continuos cycle of rats. One dies, then you get another to keep him company and so on.
Although one person broke the cycle by adopting out her last rat to me, since I had a bunch of females for her to play with until she passed on.
I can't complain 'cause I never want to be without rats. I tried once, it was awful

ah yes that makes sense, I'm just worried because both my boys have myco and though one has been treated twice he still has it and of course my other rat developed symptoms too :< so i'd be worried to but another art in with either of them.
an i wish i had lots and lots of rats. I know they are addictive, I've been wanting more ever since I got my first two when i was little and I only got my two boys earlier this year :3 for years my parents tried to put me off though, I've ended up with gerbils and hamsters and budgies and bourkes and snakes, though I will say my budgie was one of my best pets nothing really compares to a rat except maybe a dog : D

Gotta hit 'em both with antibiotics at the same time. I always assume if one rat has it, they all do. Because they will eventually. :3

yeah thanks i think I'll try that now I just know it'll be expensive but I should be able to manage the money somehow, I've been taking art commissions to save up for it,
since my family seems to think if it eats and runs about it must be fine and would help me out with expenses <.<

Next time you got to the vet ask for a prescription. That way it's cheaper (some of it is dirt cheap or free if you got to certain places, publix is a grocery store down here and many antibiotics are free) and you can get refills. It's all the same stuff, there isn't "human antibiotics" and "rat antibiotics".

okay thank you for the advice, we are already weighing them at home to avoid another check n appointment (since my other rat wasn't taken last time as I was scared he would escape in the vets office as he was very nervous when I got him but now hes a lot more chilled, my other rat has also grown a lot since then I'm worried he's even a little fat)
I don't think I've heard of that store sadly but i will check if anywhere local has the antibiotics I need ill be asking for 2 weeks worth of treatment for each rat :3

Darn it!!!! I had the idea of a lab rat character like this..*shoot*

you know what's funny? My kitten plays with a white toy mouse, and he played with it so much, he actually ripped a hole on the top of it's head. It kinda looks like Blank.

You do realise this isn't pixel art? And therefore is a miscat... if you do that too often, you can be reported for trying to "cheat the system". Don't panic if it was a mistake, but if you often post to random categories for no reason, it will catch up to you. Just because something is saved a .gif does not make it pixel art. Pixel art involves placing pixels one by one or with tools that would place them in a similar but time-saving manner (paint bucket tool, line tool). This apears to be something drawin in flash, and although all digital pieces are technically displayed via pixels, this would belong in the flash animation category or a branch of the general art category like miscellaneous.
Also, isometric pixel art specifically refers to a geometric style of pixel art where all objects could be said to fit within a particular perspective or grid system.

I am completely aware this isnt pixel art, however no other catergory that I have tried (digital art-animals) (flash) will allow a GIF format so I havent had much choice, what else am I to do as a lot of my work is animations and most are drawn using paint and sometimes I do even make sprites or pixel icons but when it comes to animations made in photoshop and placed together in a gif format (like this) there simply isnt a catergory for GIF art that isnt pixel.

Hello, my apologies for the long delay, I was absent from the site for a month and now I'm battling through my full inbox. I personally tested out which categories would allow me to submit a .gif file to them and your right about the flash section only accepting flash. Alternatively, the next most appropriate place I have found is to select Digital Art > Miscellaneous > Animation . I believe this should most suit your needs, as I can understand why some people would prefer to save their flash animations in gif format.

Coooool...
How do you know so much about testing labs and science fiction?
π: 0 β©: 2
science fiction- thats easy I'm a geek XD
and I did alot of searching in to testing labs when I was younger- know thy enemy, as they always say.

I understand now, I'm against testing labs as well. You're a good role model for an animal addict like me.
