Five rats
Rat time, yay!
Intimidated, Rushed
Cynical, Curious, Weird
Intimidated and rushed are, naturally, a pair 😉 My major goal with these two was, "They should not be mistaken for Tom and Jerry." Cynical, meanwhile, is a match with Optimistic; it took a while, but I ultimately decided that this image was a better fit for Cynical, and for Pessimistic, I'll have that same rat laying down by a tipped-over glass and some spilled pink juice(?).
The calico cat took me a long time to both draw and color on the computer, but I think I'm happy with the results. Oh, and if cat paws don't usually have five claws in front, we're just going to assume that this one is polydactyl and you couldn't see it properly in Intimidated.
Speaking of moods that took a long time, you may have guessed that Weird is inspired by voice actor and creative mind "Weird Al" Yankovic! I honestly think a rex rat (that is, a rat with curly-textured fur) would have been a better match for Weird Al's signature hairstyle, but I'm not really drawing any rex rats for this mood theme. I mean, I guess you could count Shocked? But I intended that as "hair standing on end" rather than "naturally crinkled hair". Too difficult to communicate in 100x100 pixels, IMO.
Relatedly, some of the detail in Weird got a little lost in the transition from 200x200 pixel WIP to 100x100 pixel final product, which is why I made sure to save a large version! I also have a large version of Cheerful, if anyone wants to see the pom-poms in more detail 😉 (There's a large version of Silly stored in the Rat Mood Theme file on my computer, but I haven't uploaded it here.)
As with the previous batch, these images will be matched with their assigned moods at a slightly later time. In this case, after I sleep 😛
Edit: Blocking link list is updated!
