Thrax Blueblade is a mongoose. Brief version of his backstory:
Spoiler

He grew up in a far away land, got lost at sea, and eventually wound up on the coast south of Salamandastron. Originally he fell in with a drifting pack of vermin where he quickly gained their respect with his lightning fast reflexes, skill at dagger throwing, and a gift for strategy. But he didn't like the vermin lifestyle. He left the vermin and struck out on his own, not yet sure what to do with his new life in Mossflower...

The Skarzs

Wow; that really has a lot of symbolism in it. It shows how Redwall did withstand the ravages of time, but all the same, time passes on with its advancements, sciences, and the fading of the past. Even without the detail found in other works, it is still a piece of art. Well done sir.

On another note, welcome to the forum, pacificmaelstrom! If you make a post in the Introduction Topic in the Front Lawns, the other members will be able to more properly greet you.
Cave of Skarzs

Cave potato.

pacificmaelstrom

And thank you for the invitation, Ill go do that now.

Hickory

That's amazing. The hue of the artwork makes it look like a cool flashback! Please do more, this really jogs my imagination.

Thanks Sagetip! Just put up a new picture... now to add it to my profile

The Skarzs

Very nice, Pacific.
Say, if you like mongooses, Captain Tammo wrote a fan fiction with a mongoose in it.

pacificmaelstrom

Oh cool, ill see if I can find it.

Rainshadow

  Those are both so cool!  I love the story the first drawing tells, and the details in the portrait are awesome.  ;D
