It's mar10Day 2024 !! Lookit these little guys go!

All of the joy I've known The ways I've grown The loves I've shown my heart to I'm gonna get it together, ooh And live forever

A non-serious, but fun little elaboration on my previous headcanon about slugcats being primarily mustelids: slugcats with real mustelid patterns! Apparently people were doing the same thing a while ago using real cat patterns, so I wanted to try my own spin on it and see how it would look! Plus it was nice to practice more dynamic poses with these guys, especially quadruped ones.

Sorry I haven't posted as much as I meant to; this took a LOT longer than I expected. But I think the result is pretty cute, and I honestly enjoyed realizing the similar color patterns in all these animals!

Which one is your favorite? I think I like the black-footed ferret best!

Also, non-patterned alt below:

European Pine Marten in a meadow. :-) peace and contentment.

This will be one of the prints for my crow tier Bird Mail members this month!

American Marten (Martes americana), blepping in the snow, family Mustelidae, Yukon Territory, Canada

The American and Pine Martens were once thought to be one species, but have been split apart, because of genetic and anatomical differences.

Some people still refer to the North American population as "Pine Martens", however.

i used to draw this marten guy a lot last year and recently remembered he existed so i drew him as a warmup
