Fancy Rats Part 6

So close to the end!


Lethargic, Listless, Bored
A white rat dozing in a wheelA hairless hooded dumbo rat with a blaze, looking anxious and pacingA hairless rat hanging half-out of a blue hammock

Crappy, Crushed, Depressed
A pink-eyed white rat curled up in a blue litter panAn agouti rat bent over and cryingA cream colored rat splooting sadly

Disappointed, Envious, Pessimistic
A cream dumbo rat with a white tummy looking unhappyA pigeon stares at a rat's hands while a seal-point rat stares at a pigeon's wingsA pink-eyed white rat laying half inside an empty glass

Jealous, Lonely, Melancholy
A gray masked dumbo rat stares at the blueberries in front of an apricot hooded ratA brown hooded rat very small in a cornerAn apricot hooded rat looking up sadly

Morose, Numb, Rejected
A cream colored rat curled into a ball, looking sadA cinnamon dumbo rat laying down and looking despondentA brown hooded rat in a purple hammock, looking down and away

Cold, Dirty, Drunk
A shivering hairless dumbo rat wearing a hat and scarf for warmthA pink-eyed white rat frantically cleaning itselfA hairless rat in an otherwise empty martini glass

Commentary!
  • Well, Jealous is in conversation with Naughty, though making sure I could fit the idea into the space allotted took some wrangling.
  • Pessimistic is in conversation with Optimistic and Cynical; it's less sad if you imagine that the conversation goes Cynical to Pessimistic to Optimistic, with someone filling the glass with juice off-screen between the last two moods 😅
  • The idea with Envious is that the pigeon wants tiny hands and the rat wants wings; it makes me want to make a pigeon mood theme as a compliment to this one!
  • I originally sketched out Cold when my heater died in ...January? February? Very early in the year, during some ungodly cold snap.
  • Drunk, meanwhile, I originally drew for a fun Mardi Gras joke I made 😉 Same for at least one other rat, though I won't be officially "introducing" them until after Part 8


  • I think that's all my commentary for now, but if you want to know more about any of these rats, I'll be happy to keep going!
