Keeper of Lost Things

Here is a keeper of lost things. I made it for a character design challenge at the conceptart forum. I wanted to do something besides a miniature person (like The Borrowers) and have some rat like creature with superb taste in facial hair.

And here is the process behind the character. I dropped the ball on taking steps on the background, sorry.

I won't post each one to this blog, as it would swamp it. They have their own home in Nocturneshire after all!

Here is a small selection of what's on there so far...
