Alex the... Badger?

Description

A commission for :iconalexraccoonglider:

The other night, Alex somehow strayed from his intended path and strayed into the domain of Retsubnad Leadboot.
Sometime later, impatient to learn what had become of his bedtime supper and hotwater bottle, the wizard-hare soon found his sidekick Wallace Babbleton in the dungeons, holding the hapless

raccoon-glider prisoner for "trespassing" - and Retsy was annoyed... at Wally, for being late with his supper.

But he was also annoyed at Alex for sneaking around his property uninvited, and for trying to taunt the hare for apparently going easy on him.
By way of a joke and a punishment, Retsy turned Alex into a badger (of the American variety, of course) - however, a temporary inconvenience for his intruder, since the hare's transformations don't last very long.
Still, it amused Wally... but then, the sycophant weasel is very easily pleased by anything his Master does... :XD:

Retsubnad and Wally are my own characters.
Alex the Raccoon-Glider belongs to... AlexRaccoonGlider (obviously)

Critique you want? Critique you shall get! I was very happy that I comissioned you and I'll give you a more thorough review here.

Vision) Clearly I believe you captured the fur and details nicely here, the use of green is a big visual representation that Retsy's magic is afoot and it looks like the transformation spell is complete and I went from a raccoon hybrid to a grouchy mustelid creature from my neck of the woods. Clearly I also noticed Retsy's "grinch-like grin" too, which seems to work very well with this character, heh heh heh!

Originality) Normally transformation magic isn't too original since theres a lot of crazy combinations that Retsy could've turn me into but I guess he thought since i became a badger, I wouldnt be able to glide around to escape, but im sure now I can burrow my way out of the castle somehow, right? Plus I like the dungeonscape you designed here, I bet that took a lot of work to do.

Technique) Your talent in photoshop really comes into play here, between the powers and the background and everything else, I'd say my pounds really went to a good cause here and this came out nicely! Plus Retsy's grin and Wally's smile is also nicely done too ^^ In some cases though, the dungeon itself reminds me of a bit of Monty Python and the Holy Grail where that prisoner was clapping during the "We're knights of the round table" skit.

Overall Impact) Im giving this 5 stars out of 5, not because you're my friend but i honestly believe your work here is now top notch! This is a very good pic and Im very happy with it, thank you very very much!
