Description
Okay, after much distraction I've finally gotten around to scanning the sketch/doodles that precipitated my last journal entry. They're listed under anthro because, while they're also fanart and fantasy, they're anthro fantasy characters from written but not visual media.... it sort of makes sense to me but if anyone thinks they'd be better off in another category, let me know. Of course, they could always be tossed in the scrap heap...Confusing.Alright, critters from Redwall - A mole and a hedgehog drinking something alcoholic, two shrews brewing stew (teehee!), and a hare absconding with lots of food with an odd looking thing in his hand that is supposed to be a pasty. I've never seen a pasty and never eaten one, but they're mentioned an awful lot in the books. Just some light-hearted little drawings (and I DO mean little, each of the 4 was done on a 3"x5" notecard) that I did one evening, just because I felt like it. They're not meant to be any particular characters, but I think they're cute at least.
Technicalities: 1 2B mechanical pencil, 4 notecards. Splotched together in photoshop with a bit of contrast. Ta-da!

Everyone always draws the Hare's chest too small.

I really like all of these, especially the shrews and the hedgehog (who reminds me of Ambrose Spike). I think the hare's neck looks a little off, but it's probably just me.

I love your detail in something that you claim is a 'mini sketch'. i love this, and as an American that has lived in England (the country that gave us Brian Jacques) and Australia, i must say that most pasties look like that, and they are delicious! I am a fan of veggie pasties myself, Β like carrot and potato, or spinach and cheese! (LOL, Β I was meant to be a hare. 
anyway, great job!

I agree with some of the folks here, these are certainly much too good to just be called "mini-sketches!" I love them to bits! I think the chubby hedgehog is my favorite, he just looks so lovable... but the little shrews are cute, too, and the mole and the hare... they're all so cute and so very well-drawn! Great work!

This is amazing, such beautiful shading detail especially on he fur and Ambrose's quills(well you're right it's not him because they are not meant as any specific character but he seriously looks like him!). I love the hare's hat and platter of food, of course he'd be eating everything! This is so quaint and well drawn, thank you for the beatufiul sketches!

I know it's a pasty, but it looks like the hare has a taco! i have no idea why that cracks me up as much as it does...i do like the way you made them anthro tho- very nice!

Now that looks like something that I would draw. XD
Very Nice, looks more Medeval than most of the drawings that I see.

Adooorable...I love the style you did it in. I always thought sketches suited the books better than the cartoon line drawings in the TV show, but I didn't really like the ones in the books either. The facial expressions are just perfect.

The Guosim Shrews (Guerilla Union of Shrews in Mossflower, heck yeah!) are GREAT!

Oh, wow! I have to agree with everyone that you captured the Redwall look/feel perfectly. The characters are so expressive without being cartoony. Very well done indeed.
