#sketch #ink #comic

A sailing ship surrounded by icy cliffs and sea ice.

A spectacled mouse in a trunk and a mouse with a moustache stare down the barrel of a blunderbuss wielded by a third mouse in the foreground. The mouse with the spectacles lays out a detailed plan involving them uniting in order to gain riches. The third mouse lowers their gun.

#inktober2024 day 12

#shredded

I put a tiny shadow on the Gull's face and then I had to commit.

#seagulls #comic #sketch #sherlock #mouse

A shadow falls over a mouse about to stab another mouse. In the next panel two seagulls bear him into the air. In the final panel the mouse left behind looks away grimacing.

I enjoy the eye being picked out from the shadow. They've seen some things.

Catching up with #sweep and #pierce.

Some of the panels got away from me a bit but the story continues.

#sketch #ink #comic #mouse #fight

A mouse with a moustache stands ready to cuff another mouse but they sweep their legs, grab a rapier and stab them in the shoulder!

Would these be the same type of cuckoos that kick the other eggs out of the nest?

I know we probably shouldn't apply a moral lens to evolved behaviour but I struggle to feel that bad about them getting unmasked.
