Description
A thank you gift for after she drew me an adorable piece of Crickee gift art
[link] n.nHope you like ratties, Roko, cuz Cash is riding a giant one! XD
Cash belongs to
Cricket and the riding rats are mine (i could not resist the option for bright colours either! XD), along with all the artwork ... aside from the teeny cowtato, which was penciled in by Which i then found too adorable to just ignore and erase
Prisma markers and white gel pen on recycled paper of a light cardboard colour.

It's a cowtato, which is the creation of ~d6016 , and is basically an adorable starchy cross between a cow and a potato.Β There may one day be an 'Encyclopedia of the Cowtato' written and illustrated by Dee and I that would give the public all the information they need about this adorable little species

that's awesome! I love how you made the canine anatomy work in jockey posture, and I love the texture and the brownish tint that the cardboard gives the whole picture - nice old west feel.

Ugh, such a late reply to your comment, sorry! I ignore DA sometimes for so long that messages just get buried >.< The paper isn't cardboard actually, but www.rexart.com/cachet_earthbou⦠<--- one of those kind of sketchbooks. They're my favorite paper to draw on! But I agree, it did aid in giving this illustration an aged old-west feel. Thanks for your comment!

YES RATS! YESYESYES!
Shut the door this is AWESOME!!
Is it digital or hand colored? I LOOOVE the colors! Orange floor, blue sky.. PURPLE AND BLUE RATS? I think yes! This is seriously metal!
You nailed Cash perfectly, too. The colors and markings really are just SPOT-ON, and I love the interaction between the rats, Cricket, and Cash. I mean seriously I'm SO flabbergasted. This made my day, it really did. The bridles, and the background with the canyons, ugh, even the texture I JUST LOVE EVERYTHING.
AND THE COWTATO. OMG. YES.
I drew a badge for D6016 a few years ago with Cowtato in it!
I don't know if he remembers/if his appearance was on purpose, but I LOL'd hard. True story, I love this SO incredibly much! Thank you, Thank you!
Your little doodle is in the mail, btw, sorry it has taken me so long to get it out to you, especially after this. AGH. YOU'RE AWSM.

How rude of me to never have replied to your comment here! O.oΒ I'm so, so glad you liked this so much and that you're okay with the giant rats XDΒ And I don't recall Dee mentioning anything about intentionally drawing the cowtato in there because it was a drawing for you...but maybe he had purpose behind it.Β When he visited me that year, there were doodles of cowtatos on everything lolΒ I still love the drawing of Cricket you did too, thanks again! n.n
