I loooove this picture, all versions.No pressure, 'cause I'm happy with my one picture, but if you're in the mood to do more rat riders, here's another idea:Before the villagers were able to breed rats large enough for riding, they went through a phase of breeding them about dog size, and hitching them up to sleds. No, really.And they have an annual winter festival, with an ice castle grandstand, where they still race the ratsleds. More like the Circus Maximus than the Iditarod. Lots of drinking hot beverages and banging cowbells, lots of betting and carousing. The winters in Daybreak are reeeeally long, dark, wet and icy. The latewinter festival is about the only thing that keeps them going through February.So, what I'm looking for in the picture, is a ratsled racer, careening around an icy turn, with the wind whipping past the rat's whiskers and shaved ice spray blowing up from the steel sled runners. There could either be a team of six rats, like a dogsled, or a pair of rats, like chariot horses. There should be cheerful banners. The jockey should be dressed in something warm but flamboyant and colorful. He's probably a halfling, or a young human.Attached is a file with the kind of rats I've been thinking of--not so much the white lab rat with the red eyes, but rather friendly looking hooded rats with black eyes. Of course, just at the moment, they're out for blood, rats being whip smart and all, and knowing the winning rats will get to stud the females . . .</blockquote>
