soc_puppet | Penultimate Rats!!!

These are technically the final(!) rats I had left in my Fancy Rat Mood Theme! I have now drawn rats for 132 different moods! I do still plan to go through and do a couple different variations on a few rats, but with this? The official tally is complete.

I have completed an image for every mood in a custom mood theme.

...At least, I'm pretty sure I have. I guess I'll find out for sure when I load the new moods to the official mood theme page!

On that note, who wants to see the final(!) rats? 😃?

Most of these rats are... kinda on the sad side. I'm choosing to interpret it as a sign that they're sad this project is just about over, and I won't be working with them as much going forward. But they don't have to be too sad! These rats got me back into drawing on a fairly regular basis, and in addition to making the variations I mentioned ("Touched" with ring splints for all four skin tone variations, and "Intimidated"/"Rushed" with an owl instead of a cat), I'm planning to make stickers out of some of them!

That part is a little ways away yet, though; I may wait until Summer of the 69 is over for this year, just so I'll be firmly taking a break from this project, buuuuuut I may just put it off until I finish a different project instead 😅 (I got a commission from a friend to do some small coloring pages! And I still have another crochet pattern to make for FTH, and another friend has been wanting me to crochet her parents some Minions for a while now, and possibly there's more I'm forgetting. But those three things definitely, and I also want to make two things for Sot69 this year, as well. ...I can find a way to balance it, I'm sure!)

So that's just about it for the moment! Just a couple of variations to do, and then I'm reasonably sure I'm done.

And now, off to input the new images into my mood theme!

Edit: Moods are up! And I don't see any checked "Inherit from" boxes in the edit page for the Fancy Rats mood theme, so I am tentatively saying that yes, I have finished all the moods, yay!
