AC2--Irony Pirate

Description

This is the second picture I have finished for the 10 Anthro Challenge. I actually added it as the 11th pick on a whim. I'm sort of obsessed with meerkats and really wanted to make one into a pirate because I thought it would be funny. You see, meerkats really don't like water hence the title Irony Pirate (I really couldn't come up with anything cuter).

I've been pondering making an OC meerkat character after reading a small article called Is Your Laboratory a Jungle? It basically outlined five types of people as animals. What did I connect with? The meerkat. Hard working, loyal, always taking one for the team, and doesn't need recognition (but would happily take it) to be happy. So there you go. Me= part rat, part meekat and I'm very happy with it.

I'm pretty pleased with the results. It didn't take nearly as long as some of my previous anthros. I usually sketch and sketch and sketch (and eventually I get frustrated and stop working on it), but this one came together pretty quick. I modeled his pirate shirt after one I bought for a pirate party. He's got a cute little bag on his belt that holds the Golden Compass. At least that's what I figure the little guy keeps in there. Hey, background could be worse, right?
