Mostly because he's sexual and overall hot haha. But I have to agree, he and Mark are my favorites!

His manslabs are pretty hard to argue with...

Well if you put it that way, then yeah, I'd have a hard time arguing. I really love what you did with his fur! Sculpted, somewhat graphic, and believably soft! Looks like an older guy, which I dig ;O.

I wonder what other assets add to his hardcore manliness!

This illustration has been my wallpaper since you uploaded it. I can't stop staring at it! All of the characters are so interesting and seem to have distinct personalities. :)

Haha, at first I thought you meant the close-up of the badger specifically. I was like "But it's only been up like 5 hours...?"

Cheers, dude -- glad you dig 'em! I had fun drawing them all and trying to cram as much personality into each as I could.

love him <3

cuz hes SWEATY~

all SWEATY with MAN SWEAT

;o;<3333333333

YES O_O

What got me was the name, I know someone named Smitty and never expected to see the name turn up anywhere else.

Oh, and badgers rock!

Haha, it's definitely not a name you hear in recent generations. Not on people, anyway -- I know a Smitty who is a schnauzer, but that's about it ^_^

He just has that "You are going to be mine" look on his face. I love that look

Haha, fair enough!

diggin the badger

Word.

I think it's the sweat and half-dressed-ness, combined with the expression, that makes everyone think he's up to something totally skivvy.
Which I am totally in favor of.

Yeah, he definitely just got through with some men's room antics.

D: If only I could find a coffee shop where this could actually happen

WELCOME TO SAN FRANCISCO

I'm moving to the West Hollywood Los Angeles area. Any luck?

Oh, god. Just walk into any establishment and announce that you're a producer looking for screenplays.

You'll need a squeegee to get all the blowjob off of you.

*takes furious notes*
I'm going to be having some fun. Nice change from a state where you're considered some sort of disease.

Yeaaah, LA is a long way from Georgia.

I'm required by law to give SoCal a hard time, but at the very least, LA is gay-friendly <3

I hear a lot of lousy stuff about LA, but when I went there, West Hollywood, Santa Monica and Irvine were the nicest , most lovely places I had ever been, and nobody looked down their noses at me, no matter how big of a fag I was.
I'm so happy to be moving there :D
We'll see how I feel in the long run!

Eh, there's no shortage of places I'd rather live less than LA. It's huge, which I think is probably it's biggest strength and its biggest weakness. There are tons of things to do there and tons of cool people to hang out with, but you may have to drive an hour to see them. But if you're coming from a suburban scene where driving 45 minutes to hang out with friends is already a given, that's no big loss. (My) People give LA a hard time for the plastic, fake, materialistic "Hollywood" culture, but there are plenty of honest, sincere, tuned-in people there. It's just a matter of finding them (and the ubiquitous furry network is always a nice kick-start to finding friends in new places).

And Santa Monica is lovely.

You're the first person to qualify your flak and give LA some props out of all the people that I've told I was moving to LA to. Excellent show, man, excellent show :)
I'll keep in mind the things you said, as I agree with them. Hopefully, I'll find a better life, and some of the things I'm looking for.
Such as sleazy coffee shops.

Eh, ragging on LA is like a matter of custom more than anything. While I am not in any rush to pick up and move there myself, 99% (well, maybe 90%) of the trash-talking I do is tongue-in-cheek, because of the longstanding SF-vs-LA rivalry that only people in SF seem to be aware of <3 Honestly, any city is going to have its good things and bad things, and LA has a ton of both, so there's at least plenty of choice to be had.

And yeah, coming from the Bible Belt, even LA should be a decidedly more mellow experience. Also, sleazy.

Always appreciate that last part <3
I'm sure somehow I'll be swept into the SF vs LA culture myself, but hey, who knows. I never fell into that stereotypical trap in Mexico, so I might find myself pleasantly detached.
Looking forward to the experience - and to visiting SF on occasion to test the waters and see what "the other side" lives like. Six hours away is perfectly drivable, after all, and I have a number of friends in SF.

All in all, looking forward to seeing more of all this up in here. >:)

Yeah, I was surprised how pleasant the drive is. It's like there's the scenic route and the really scenic route

And the old joke goes that SF folks keep the feud alive, while the LA folks are like "Oh, I love San Francisco! It's pretty, and people are nice!" I guess we're just dicks? Again,

Sounds like just the right stupid, blissful ignorance I love :D
*chuckles* Well, when I come up up to San Fran to visit, maybe I can take you out sometime... for coffee

Haha, oh god.

XD It's just coffee!
You can bring your boy, I'll bring mine and we'll talk about seedy establishments ;3

I am boyless, but happy to grab tea anyhow ^_^

Oh, snap! Well, wishful thinking! And tea!
So perhaps! We'll see what the future holds :)

Heeeeey, I'm studying in SoCal. I hope you don't give me a hard time. Unless it's like a good type of hard or something.~

Sounds like you and  vahnfox should go for coffee.

I do love coffee <3
And... books? Uhh.

I like tea or water! And I like drawing, so we can chill or something sometime when you pass by Valencia?

I'm up for that! Tea or water it is!
>_> I just realized I'm not going to be able to have Southern Sweet Tea anymore... Oh god.

We like sweet tea in California, no worries! We can go to a Teavana or something in a shopping mall nearby in Valencia. It gives free samples of awesome tea! My school is also five minutes from Magic Mountain Six Flags.

But, alas, I'm spending a year getting general education done in Sacramento, where I live.

Oh, thank god. Okay. It sounds like I can tolerate this X3
I'll be stalking some of those places!

You sir are EVIL

<3

Love that build, lots of muscle without being super-cut. And badgers just ooze manliness.

Yeah, the super-chiseled body builder look kind of squicks me out <3

NICE CHOPS.

HE GOT CHOPS LIKE JUDO, HOT LIKE MENUDO

Si se pudo, hasta que vimos un barbudo~

Dude we need to take this act on the road

Duh it's everyone faves, it's a badger!!

Oh, riiiight...

also, I LOVE the Bathroom sign, those bunny ears are soo cute!

Haha, I figured they kind of worked with the way the arms and legs are done ^_^

Badgers got that gentleman/experienced look about them that's charming, I think. It's the snout shapes and the stripes.

Yeah, and the black-and-white is so formal. I always expect to see them in tails and a top hat, haha.

I rather promised myself that I would favourite the stand-alone picture of SMitty if such was release.
A lot of time later, I got around to this.
