The Mouse Captain



Mouse Captain 
                                       of the Under Sea
I decided to let loose a little more with this one, and to let go of a lot of the predrawn detail. I like this one better than the others because it's simpler, and still communicates very clearly. Plus I thought it would be interesting to draw a mouse missing the lower part of its leg and replaced with a fish hook instead of a peg leg. The whole mouse thing appeals to me because a couple of months ago I watched "The Secret of NIMH" again, and I'm convinced Don Bluth is a genius when it comes to characterization. His characters are easy on the detail, and communicate really awesome emotions. It's really great.
