Bam, here it is, doing that awkward A-pose, this is what I'm going with, and this is the best I can do for a ref, I put him in undies because I want to show off most of what he looks like, IL just draw him in whatever clothes whenever I draw him again.

I sort of planned the rat around he circular glasses, and they didn't have that at the optometrist, so that sucked a bit.
Also when I finally got my prescription drawing became harder for a bit as I adjusted.

Anyway I settled with something with a similar tail, and I think I like this better in the end.
