the chapters: prologue | 01 | 02 | 03 | 04 | 05 | 06 | 07 | 08 | 09 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14... (to be continued)

OMG! :omg: Heaven help us! I updated! :la: - AND pleased with this :lol:

After such a long hiatus from art and almost everything else beside sleep, I am happy to bring you THIS! *yay for dorkish me! XD*

Thanks to the wonderful people who left a review with a suggestion for chapter 14's illustration, I actually unlazied myself and drew our favorite impossible-to-get-along-ithouth-sustaining-injury duo - Basil and Ratigan... PLAYING CHESS IN COOKIE'S KITCHEN! (who is a very lazy mole judging by the pile of plates on the counter ... well, at least the table looks clean) And lookie! Wood looks like wood! Thinker came back in the form of a hat! And Ratigan looks more like him then a hieroglyph! And I am hyper tonight :la:

Oh, ignore the rambling up there XD On a more serious note, I'm happy to be done with this. Although Ratigan's hands seem to be... wrong and Thinker can't seem to be keeping a steady size in my drawings, I am overall pleased with this one. Although the first two sketches for this one didn't seem right, I think some strange wish to try and doodle in SAI did the trick :3 It literally came flowing out! And I could even save paper! I LOVE SAI!!!! (only downside to this was that for some reason it didn't save right the first time and I had to re-do the whole sketch X( )

So - comments on the pic, comments on the chapter, silly chatter, critique (I WOULD LOVE YOU FOREVER!) ... anything would be welcome :wave:

Peace! :peace:

I'm not an expert on cartoons but then I'm not an idiot either. :)

Well it seems like you've got the basics - expressive faces that bring a character to life and show personality, the exaggerated and varied body types and lively actions.

I like how it's not overworked but I think you could've done more with the lighting. You did good since the atmosphere is obvious and "feels right" but it's kinda confusing since the fireplace seems to be the main light source but there's some strong light on the big guy's tale and other parts of the scene.

But all in all it's nice piece of work.
What do you think?

I love this chapter. You have allowed us to see another side of Ratigan. And the interactions between Basil and Ratigan are hilarious!
Amazing story. It keeps one on ones toes, yet allows them to "try" to solve the case. I am really want to know what happens...please continue the story...I am dying to know how it will all end!

For chapter 15, maybe you can do a picture of the scene where Dawson and Inspector Voles talking about how worried they are for Basil.

Friend showed me your pics and I checked out "Whispers of the Dark", now I'm hooked. It is really good. Keep up the good work!!!:)
