I have been thinking and have this sketch of a mechanical rat lying around. So this is what I am going to do. I will be doing the Legend of the Pied Piper. This rat was my inspiration. I will get some concepts up soon

Hi Linda,
Like your rat I have been considering the same story at some point, it’s a good one. It will be very interesting to see what you will do with it.
And enjoyed very much your other steampunk thingies, specially the dragon and the Paddle Duck

I might change my mind here on what I want to do, still scribbling stuff in my sketch book. I probably should not post my scribbles ha ha, but that is just me 
Rico hi hi Thank you so much for stopping by
Ferx I love your little tooth mousey I did actually paint this particluar rat in another image a while ago, so I might not go with the pied piper idea. Still thinking…though I have been doodling on the rat a bit in photoshop, so might just keep him for myself when it is done
dragonflysh Thank you

… and then I have this scribble too, was thinking of a pooka concept. I could have fun too with this one. I don’t know if I can get the horses legs right I have a heck of a time with horses legs. Might be a good thing for me to do though for a learning experience.

Key Linda,
Great pooka sketch, like a lot. Really nice pose, put a cool action note on the overall sketch, and the foreshort chain put a nice perspective touch… fantastic my friend Cant wait to see more on your stuff ! Cheers!

This piece has a lot of potential. I love the metal shavings feel to the mane and tale. Wicked stuff.

M477 - ha ha ha that is a possibility, thanks
Ferx - Thank you my friend I might throw a few more ideas out and see which I want to complete for the challenge. I have scrapped the pied piper idea I could not quite get my head around the main character the way I wanted to. If I go with the pooka I will for sure add more chains 
Rupy - Thank you so much
KolorGuild - Thank you , if I do this my idea for the main and tail will be like twisted wire or something along those lines, Tedious detail work, aaahhh not sure what I am getting myself into here
bandro - Thank you thank you, I started it with the head smaller and I thought it looked weird, so made it bigger. Love the crits that are so helpful. If I go with him I will for sure try to get his head to fit his body. Though you may have to come back and correct me again

Nice sketches & ideas Linda!Like the pied piper idea but n the other hand,the seadragon could be really epic too.Just to make you hesitate some more:D
Indeed the horselegs could be just a bit more muscled.Now they seem a bit too thin maybe.
More!:D:D:beer:

Hi Linda,
great to see you here in another challenge and it looks like this is totally your topic, very nice sketches:thumbsup: ! The one of the rat is really stunning and I already get I good idea of the style your going with, yet I can not say which concept might be the best. Looking forward to your choice and the progress!
Nice day for you,
