I finally found my files... turns out the reason I couldn't find them is because I was still on my laptop when I was working on the first Consumer's Digest project. So those files were never on this computer to begin with... XD
Anyways, this here is initial sketchings and design for the unnamed rat from the "Party Wipe" comic... renamed him to "Alys" (pronounced like Alice basically) after the fact. You may notice I changed the design of the notches in his ears later on too. Still intend to do more with him in the future... hopefullys.
