Helm Eriksson was famed amongst the Battle Hamsters of the North for his prowess in battle, and his occasional berserker fits--and rightly so! Had he not defeated the mighty Least Weasel in single combat and taken its hide as a trophy? Did he not throw himself at the foe with squeaks of bloodlust to chill the stoutest heart? Had he not once done eight thousand, sixty-two rounds on the little exercise wheel, while drunk, before collapsing into a puddle of his own...well, anyway, trust me, it was a heckuva thing, and a little disgusting, which as far as Battle Hamsters are concerned, just makes it even better. Truly, he was a hamster among hamsters.

I was fooling around with technique, and decided to try scribble and ink together, and while casting around for a subject, remembered that I'd never illustrated the "Wearers of Weaselskins!" line from the Battle Hamster description. 'Course, weasel lovers everywhere will probably get on my case now, but trust me, it was a BAD weasel. It cheated on its taxes and parked its car so it took up two spaces. And it was him or Helm. Really.

Anyway! Mixed media, colored pencil, acrylic, watercolor, acrylic ink pen, pretty much whatever I had lyin' around. Original is a hair over 8 x 10, and it is for sale, send a note, prints are available, again, send a note or visit [link] for details.
