Gaelic translation:'Rogue Ferret'. I decided to go with a very celtic theme with this one, partly because I am from Ireland, and also because I love anything celtic. I strayed from my normal technique and went a lot heavier with the acrylic for detail than normal. The neolithic mound in the background was based upon a place in Ireland in Bru Na Boyne called Newgrange. I even included my family crest in the drawing. Unfortunately, neither of my ferrets would stand still long enough for the drawing, so I had to free hand the pose!

Ferrets are pretty darn cool. So is your picture. Have you every read any of the Redwall books? Your ferret looks like he belongs there.
