Drawtober: Day 14 - Flesh Ripper
Some overdue things finally making an appearance! Firstly, not sure how much longer I could have gone doing a rat+halloween series without including a dissection, and secondly - actual rats! Credit to my lovely girl Harvey for playing the role of "labrat" for my photoshoot.
Today's drawing went through several iterations before finally arriving at what it is. I started out intending to do an anatomically correct dissection, but the reference images squicked me out so bad I opted for a clean skeleton instead. It was still a little unnerving, so I went with a radioactive zombie green, and eventually we landed on the theme of "laboratory study" with the addition of the scientific notes. Not what I intended when I started, but I like the end result anyway!

AWESOME color palette. I love the details in the description. Having had lil rats myself, I can understand not really wanting to see accurate dissection imagery... I think you landed on a neat middle ground. I also really like the simple but effective shading on the pin heads. Really makes stuff pop!
Thank you so much! ♥ Haha, my fiance suggested I make the rat's insides full of candy instead, but I felt like that was a bit too silly for this theme. It might work for a future image though :0
The light wasn't in the right place to pick it up on the camera, but the pins are done in a shiny metallic ink, too! :D
