This does sound interesting...I have an idea in my head, but the execution of it is a different matter

I will see what I can come up with.

Great job adams!

Here is my rat. I didn't have any brown paper, so I went with orange.

Are rat Pokemon okay too?

Came up with this about an hour ago. Felt like Rattata would be a better challenge for me

I am surprised at how easily this rat came to me-I used a stretch blintzed bird base with a point split:

I was thinking about this the other day, and I realized I really haven't seen any simple or minimal rats. Two sheets and twenty minutes later, this is what I came up with:

I started from a kite base, folded in half. This gives enough layers to curve the tail properly while still allowing for the more delicate folds in the head of the model.

That is a cute rat! Is it basically a square folded in half with some additional folds and pleats?

Actually I started from a kite base, not a square. But that's the idea anyhow.

Oh, sorry, I didn't read the comment below the image when I posted a reply. But anyway, at least it is your design, no one elses!

Okay everyone, less than a week left now. Get your rats in so that they can be judged! Maybe even a valentines rat?
