This is Albert the Long-eared Jerboa. If you haven’t chosen an animal to draw yet, I suggest you choose one with more normal legs! Yikes, the anatomy was hard to figure out.

I grew up in Rhodesia after emigrating from England in the '60s, with my family. I based my furry fella on the Bush Baby we used to see in the bush all around our boarding school. We used to cal them Pookies, they were fun and mischievous

Such a fun challenge! I'm loving everyone's fuzzy buddies. I was having a hard time making my Albert mischievous AND kind so that's a bit of a fail but I'm still happy with him

Lots of fabulous Alberts this month! Here’s Albert the coatimundi.
I had a lot of fun researching this challenge - so many amazing and bizarre animals out there! I’d never actually heard of a coati before so have been enjoying this new discovery. (Even if his nose did prove a bit tricky at times!)

Seems lots of people are making red pandas. This is my take

Sabrina Gosselin

I love all these Alberts! I had such a long list of potential animals, but went with skunk! Subtly made him be from Canada (hence the toque).

Hello guys!!
I see a whole lot of cute mischievous mammals this month! In all honesty, I think that the majority of you fellow artists made wonderful pieces. Good luck!

I chose to make a gamble and give Albert an alternative solution.
Since there were no rules on "real" mammal, I chose a mythical creature.
A chimera.
in reality i think it could possibly make a pretty good mascot for a kids show and an educational app, since it could ,in theory ,teach the children a lot of things.

First of all , it is made from different parts of different animals, so you have a lot to analyze.

My second thought was that it would definitely had a hard time fitting in, so It would teach the kiddos a lot about anti-racism, true friendship and all those positive virtues.

So there you go!

I’m really loving all the entries! Great work everyone.

I decided to try something new with a paper cut out style character design for Albert the Lion. He thinks he’s pretty cool with that red bandana!
