Here we have a badger, North American style! I got to draw him in a cave, which allowed me to indulge in fantasies of spelunking prowess. It was a fun setting to work in, especially with the dim lighting generating a nice atmospheric effect. This is a good start, but I want to get better at illustrating cave settings. Real caverns are already furnished with luxurious formations, so using that as a springboard for fantasy illustrations should yield exceptionally fun results.

hey, i'm trying to do something like this too. any advice for an amateur trying to create sewer brick textures? http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1567931/
I like the pose that the rat has.. Let's see, sewer brick texture. The first step would be to draw the bricks. Rather than use perfectly straight lines, I would use lines that have a bit of wiggle - try to give the impression that the bricks have been down there for awhile, saturated in moisture, and that they've been slowly crumbling away over the years.
That's one of the key points for a sewer, is showing the moisture. When something has small, hard edged bright highlights, it tends to look more wet. Try giving some sparing, brite highlights on select edges on a few bricks. Then have the rest look very dim and dusky, to contrast. Maybe let some green mold cling to the bottom edges of some of the bricks. Finding some actual brick or stone textures online, and then overlaying them in your painting might help add some grit to the surface of the bricks. These are just a few ideas - I hope they help some!

I've said it before and I'll say it again.
Badgers = BAD. ASS. It takes some kind of animal to fight coyotes, wolves and bears for food, while still looking so damn cute.
(Badgers, Badass...Pretty close to alliteration. Puheehee!)
P.S.: I just realized something after seeing an Animal Planet commercial...Two words: Bulldog. Dreamkeeper. 'Nuff said.
