Mouse Guard
Last night kijikun informed me that David Petersen is at SDCC. I need to start going to cons. D: Petersen is the genius responsible for Mouse Guard. As some of you might remember, I'm freaking crazy about this series. Kij was kind enough to offer to send me a sketchbook and some pins. *twirl* For those of you out of the know, the official site actually has a good introduction to the series, including character profiles and original pages for sale.

Here are two pages from the Fall 1152 extras bit, and one page of lush interior art from the same book.

D'aw. And now that we've got the cute out of the way, time for some badassery. Mouse vs Snake:

THE COLOURS! THE COLOURS! (And the pencils, too). OMG I CAN'T STOP TYPING IN ALLCAPS. DO YOU SEE THE AWESOME?!

	There's also Mice Templar, which I haven't had a chance to delve into. But idk, I think Mouse Guard is awesome in its own right. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think the mice versus the fucking SWARM OF CRABS is the bestest ever. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Then switch to lethal traps. I doubt they'd give you trouble then. X) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You could even tie strings around their arms a use them as puppets to recreate scenes. You could also go beyond regular fanfic and make them act out your own stories! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, you know what you're getting for christmas, scans_daily! Puppet show in the second ballroom! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I giggled at that longer than was perhaps reasonable. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I actually put a neck thingy on an old satin mouse I had. He turned out to be too wiggly to keep it up. Sadly, my cats tend to grab them whenever they can, and it's a bitch prying a cat's mouth open to save the mousie, who are usually very hurted despite not being bitten or swallowed.

	It's so, so pretty. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The colouring is luscious and the pencils are skillfully adorable, without being cloying. In short: awesome. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Y'know, I saw this at my LCS shortly after The Great Disaster. I was so happy, and I wondered if it was your pimping that brought it to the owner's attention. (Reply to this)
