Ichil

Another pic that should've been submitted ages ago, if I hadn't taken so long to write a description... Ichil is based (very) loosely on a chinchilla.

0.5 mechanical pencil, 0.3 drawing pen and felt tip markers; the background was added with Ulead Photo Express 2. Comments welcome! :)

These deceptively cute balls of fluff dig themselves little hidey-holes in deep snow, which they then sit in, with just their icicle ears sticking out.
Ichils’ battling ability varies depending on the size of their tails. Although small at first, snow sticks to their tail tips as they trudge around icy locations, eventually making them large enough to stand on. Giant-tailed Ichil tend not to bother with walking: they launch themselves down the sides of steep hills and roll everywhere instead.
