Description
This picture is based off of the incredibly sweet song "You'll be in my Heart" by Phil Collins(I freakin' love Phil Collins~) a link can be found here, and I openly recommend listening to it while viewing this picture [link]
And thus, my inspiration has officially returned to me~!
Well either way, I really hope you like this picture!^^ took me awhile to make it, so I'd love some nice feedback.
So basically, the idea behind this was one day i really wanted to draw Chestnut and Scratte as little cubs/kits/pups/whatevers(dey so coot~
I figured Scratte would have a fair amount of siblings, as Squirrels can have about 5-8 pups/kits in a single litter(I did actually go to the liberty of studying Squirrels alittle, I think they're very awesome animals XD)
So these are all of my OCs related to her, they're names are
Scarlet
The biggest Squirrel in the picture with the dark-red fur. She is the mother of the litter, though the father is(for now) unknown.
I gave her purple "Eye-Shadow" since it seemed fine to do so, since Scratte has a similar look(though she doesn't in the picture, as I assume it was something she grew to have as far as appearance as she got older~) and all, plus it also looks very nice. ^^
Bandit
The red-furred one atop Scarlet's back with a thick-furred, striped tail, I based her design off of the Fire-Ferret from Avatar: Legend of Korra, called Pabu(Cutest "team pet" character ever
Chestnut
Light ginger-furred(or gingerish, don't really know..) one to the left of Scratte with a brown streak down her back and a white-tipped tail.
Vixen
Light orange/ginger one to the right of Scratte with a white tail tip similar to Chestnut's, her name came the foxlike appearance I gave her, and she definitely had the easiest design to think up out of my Squirrel characters.

*Song Lyrics*
Come stop your crying,
It'll be all right
Just take my hand
Hold it tight
I will protect you
From all around you
I will be here don't you cry
For one so small
You seem so strong
My arms will hold you
Keep you safe and warm
This bond between us
Can't be broken
I will be here
Don't you cry
'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart...
...Always
Why can't they understand
The way we feel
They just don't trust
What they can't explain
I know we're different
But deep inside us
We're not that different at all
And you'll be in my heart
Yes you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
Don't listen to them
'Cause what do they know
We need each other
To have, to hold
They'll see in time
I know
When destiny calls you
You must be strong
I may not be with you
But you got to hold on
They'll see in time
I know
We'll show them together!
'Cause you'll be in my heart (Believe me)
You'll be in my heart (I'll be there)
From this day on
Now and forever more
You'll be in my heart (you'll be here in my heart)
You'll be in my heart (I'll be there)
From this day on
Now and forever more
You'll be in my heart
Always!
I'll be with you!
I'll be there for you always
Always and always
Just look over your shoulder
I will be there

That's an very emotional and touching picture! <3
I love your "Scrat(te)-Cubs" designs. They all look different. You got Scratte's proportions also very well. A beautiful moment, really. I love it!

Thanks so much for the comment, I really appreciate it~! ^^ I'm planning on doing some more pictures with them, aswell I'm actually nearly done with one as of now~
Yep~ I made sure to do all I could to differentiate them enough for them to look unique, while also giving them atleast one trait that seemed similar(I think I did the best on this with Scarlet, honestly XD Alot of traits of her appearance appear on the cubs~)
And I found it pretty easy to get the proportions and stuff down, since I think the style for the Squirrels is just one of the most fun to draw ever XD Though it can be alittle aggravating when I constantly get the nose/head wrong though, but that's normally the only big problem I have when drawing them

Dayum XD Apparently Bshe is now a chameleon-Squirrel~ Awesome. X3
I named her Bandit, based off her Red-Panda/Raccoon like appearance~
I just made a reference sheet of her here:[link] ( sucks that it like, totally got ignored though o3o) And as you can see, I had plenty of fun making it~ I think her and Chestnut are my favorite Squirrel characters right now ^^ and, like I said about Chestnut, It's crazy because she's so incredibly new, but there' something I just love so much about the character

Really? I don't quite see it..XD I suppose it's like, a super elaborate fur-marking-thing or something~
If it isn't a bother, do you mind checking out that reff. sheet I linked, and letting me know what you iked about it? (I also very highly suggest reading her backstory in the description, I think it's one of my favorite background-stories for any of my characters in general~ As tragic as it is.)
