Earlier this year, I was invited to join the fatratsofFA site - by its many members, and its founder Alan - because they liked some of my images of rotund rodents.

Graciously, I'd accepted, and even provided them with some of the previous images from my own "Fur Affinity" site (which you can see in their gallery). But my only regret about this newly-founded site was that they didn't have an avatar to promote themselves...

So I'd recently created one for them. Using the logo letters in the words FAT RATS, I'd shaped out an apropos fat rat 'mascot' - with the F and R making up its face and ears, the two As for the body and arms, the two Ts for its legs, and the S as its tail. I was going to make said mascot grey on a white background; but I think a white rat on a grey background stands out more.

Naturally, this is the full-size version of the site's avatar (so you can see more of the details). Hopefully, this will inspire some of you anthroartists and writers to join fatratsofFA, and provide the site with a plethora of new images and stories with more fat rats than you can shake a mozzarella stick at!
