In my attempts trying to get back into the drawing mood I fell into a bit of a hole researching how to attract badgers to live near my farm. I've always liked badgers but never seen one in real life and got frankly pissed when I heard people in the local area complaining that they had badger visits, considered them vermin and wanted them gone!
It never stop to surprice me the sheer amount of petty behavior people have thoward nature. "oh no, lets eradicate anything that ever so mildy inconveninieces me"
It's depressing to be frank.
So here are four paintings I did, trying differnt styles.
One a "best value" Nick nockoff , an attempt of the ROOT art style and two of a chubby naturalistic style^^

Literally got into ROOT this past month! I'm assuming the badger is a member of the Woodland Alliance due to the garb as opposed to a Keeper or Vagabond?
Also tangentially remembering a Bob the Builder episode where rabbits were getting into a garden because badgers kept walking through and tearing down the fence. Surprisingly, instead of making a stronger fence or getting rid of the badgers, they opted to make weighted doors which badgers could move through but rabbits could not. I thought it was a really sweet idea and really in line with what you were saying!

Oh ROOT is SO damned gooooood! I have a seasoned playgroup where we have gotten that game to the table a Bunch of times and it's so much fun!
I'm Dying to get the new expansion since it has new bandit faction that Kidnap the other players pawns for points! =D
This fellow is mostly just a random Badger but woodland alliance is a good guess, I've been trying to draw different random characters to prepare for running a ROOT rpg session.
But sadly that has been put in the back burner for quite a while.
Awe that IS a really heartwarming story! A very good moral for the show to have really

Yeah, Knaves of the Deepwood would be very up your alley and such. I gotta find a good playgroup IRL but I've been playin digital :) I just got this really concise 3d printed game organizer to make it all fit in a single box, so I kind of dread adding more. That being said, Twilight Council is the one I'm really interested in.
Hope RPG goes well once you get there!

Haha yeah the top left definitely came out the most hot^^
Oh yeah i know of the series but only read a few books that i bounced off unfortunately.
I would no doubt loved the books when I was younger but the way characters talk in dialect is charming but makes it a really tough read for a none native English speaker.
while I can read it now that I'm older I now find the books horribly deterministic racially, if you are born a rat/weasel/fox you are defacto born evil and cannot change this.
I've read the books where they take in young rats into the Abby and make a big point that cannot change.
So no, while I like the idea of Redwall I really dislike the moral of it

Ah, yeah, that's a hard topic for a lot of audiences. I never liked that myself, either.
Although it's also a misunderstood concept: it's not that rats/weasels/foxes are "evil". More that, "evil people" are *represented* as rats/weasels/foxes.
Plus, there actually *were* certain books in the series that had "good vermin" and "evil woodlanders." For instance:
The most famous example is "The Bellmaker" where Blaggut the searat ends up living a peaceful life as a boatmaker, and becomes a friend and regular visitor at the abbey.
The second most famous example is in "Pearls of Lutra" where Romsca the corsair ferret defends and rescues an abbot, and sacrifices her life to keep him safe. Throughout their journey together, the abbot kept on calling her "my child", and her final words were "Thank ye, my Father." The abbot never forgot her.
There are plenty more, showing that Jacques was willing to play around with his own concept of "goodies" and "baddies." Sadly, he didn't go nearly as far as he could (or perhaps should) have, but still...

A nice showcasing of your artistry here with these different styles with the rugged and rather handsome miner, the rogue and the two rather adorable badgers about to enjoy their meals. Badgers are rather appealing creatures so if you've not had luck with attracting them to live nearby then at least there's always portraying them with your artwork.
oh that is nice to hear! they are awefully cute^^
yeah there is alot of miss information about them unfortiently like the myth that they bite until the bone breaks. I thought that before since I was told it as a kid. in reality they are very shy and actually helpful creatures sicne they eat the brown snails garden people hate^^
