Artist's Comments

For ^ShoneGolds Chinese Year of the Rat contest

I imagine her as an empress in ancient times with her two rat handmaidens. I apologize for any cultural inaccuracies. I took some artistic liberties. Inspiration for her clothes (a hanfu) and style, from the movie Curse of the Golden Flower (one of the most beautiful set and costume designs, I recommend the movie!). Also from what I learned; that year of the rat's colors are red/black/white (to which I added gold), and the offical stone is garnet.

Reference: rat and chinese costume from dA and google images.
Tools: 100% pixeled in Photoshop. 45 colors + background

From the Customization/Doll Gallery, Year of the Rat by *milkbun. This was the winner of the 'Year of the Rat' Competition. Wonderful character, superbly laid pixels with the patterned sheen of the fabric and folds, delicate hairpieces and a delightful pair of rat handmaidens. Beautiful work! Colour count 46.

Fantastic! Love the rats, I used to have a pet rat that colour :) Good luck in the contest :)

Oh my goddess. This is both cute, funny and oddly scary.

The idea of rats of that size is frightening, but the idea and the execution is absolutely gorgeous and the rats are just so cute, especially the one on the right holding the fan.

Good luck in the contest. ^^
