Awesome work! Great job!

But on a sidenote, however--& this is mostly my belief formed due to personal experience--I wouldn't say that mice (well, not *all* mice, anyway) are nocturnal. I've seen a lot of mice in my lifetime, & except for maybe one or two, all the others I saw were awake during the daytime & slept in the night. As for rats, I haven't seen too many, but there were some that I saw that slept during the day, & others that stayed *awake* during the day, but...Arrrgh!!! Enough bloody rambling!

*takes a moment to de-hyperventilate, & then clears throat softly*

But at least, given the fact that they're "cartoon" animals, I'd think that perhaps they would presumably function along a time schedule that's more similar to ours & be on the beach during the daytime instead. Just my opinion, though.

And that's also why all the rodents in my GMD fan-stories are di-urnal, too, with the exception of maybe one or two. I dunno, I suppose I just like having anthro rodents being a little more...anthro, you know? But in any event, I love making the GMD rodents di-urnal, & I also think it's important for several reasons. Not only that, but it makes an even bigger parallel between the rodent & people world! Which, when it comes to GMD stories & such, I think is a very good thing.

Again, however, this is all just my opinion. You most certainly don't have to agree with me, & I won't force or co-erce you to in any way.

(MOUSE DIM: Agreeing to disagreeing is fun!

*whispers* Should I just mention I like making my colored drawings gloomy and at night? But, I understand what you mean wanting to make the characters more human than animal and that they would venture out at any time of the day. The beach, though, I kept thinking they're still small critters and had this fear humans would catch sight of them quicker than in the night hours. That's why I kind of did a somewhat setting sun, like they started to come out at like 4 or 5 p.m. to enjoy a little bit of the daylight. I also keep having visions of poor little Mr. Jingles from The Green Mile and want to make sure these guys stay safe!

But, yeah, getting back to my coloring style, I do darker pictures because it hides my flaws, so I've done so little of daytime pictures. I'm embarrassed by my mistakes. Gads, even when the characters are indoors I dim the lights on them! And you would think since London is so gloomy and overcast nearly all the time, the first sight of the sun they'd want to come out and bask in it? I probably could practice a little more on daytime pictures.

Look! I rambled too! But, thank you for your comment and info! That was a fun one!

Hey, I love what Olivia is wearing, red certainly suits her I didn't even know mice were nocturnal, though.
Anyway, great job, the background gives it a nice touch especially

Oh what's becoming of me?

Thanks, I figured blue would have been typical for Olivia to wear, so I went the opposite way with red. I should restate that mice are usually nocturnal, or more active at night, but do come out in daytime hours too. I, uh, should also consider the more human side of the characters when doing such things as this.

Um...this is crazy awesome. I cannot tell you how delighted I am that you actually reseached Victorian bathing suits! If it wouldn't be too much an inconveniance, could you share the resources you used to learn the styles? Basil's suit is darn awesome!!

I am a little confused as to what is happening. Because of the shovel and pail, I would guess they came to the seaside for a little fun, but Olivia and Dawson seem annoyed at Basil. It must be something to do with the paper and pencil he has...maybe he is getting distracted from their purpose and doing research?

Thanks so much! Crazy awesome, I love that! Oh, and searching for the suits was through a random link found on Google:

If you scroll down, you'll see a red one I sort of looked over for Olivia and the dark blue with white edges for Basil. The scene was mostly created due to my back and forth chat with a dA watcher over seeing Basil's bare legs. But, how to do it where he's still wearing clothes? I figured Olivia and Dawson dragged him out to the beach and he brought his work with him. I guess he wants to finish writing some notes before starting this supposed fun. Olivia is totally annoyed and will probably douse him any minute with her bucket sitting there. Now, that would be interesting to draw, Basil soaking wet and chasing after the child!

Ohhhh yeah! Think you'll ever draw it? XD

p.s. Thanks for the link! Here's one in return, in case you ever want to have reference pictures of Victorian non-bathing suit clothes!

It would be hilarious (and a challenge) to draw, something to definitely consider! Might want to do it in panel style for it to continue a bit instead of one image. I already thought of an idea, and it would take 16 panels to make possible. I'm still working on my Halloween picture, so it'll take a little time.

Oh, that's an awesome link! Thanks! I really love Victorian clothes! They're so cool!
