Although uncommon, rats are one of the many animals that people play as in Feral Heart, but they are often one of the most inaccurately made. I will be showing you on how to turn a rat from this

Into this.

One common misconception about rats and mice is that their tails and feet are always bare and pink. THIS IS NOT ALWAYS TRUE. In fact, rat and mouse feet can be furred, and vary in color.

If you look closely, you can spot the small hairs on the foot. This goes to show that rat and mouse feet are not bare, but instead are covered in tiny, faint hairs.

This is a woodmouse, which is sometimes called a woodrat. Their bushy tail is a distinctive feature on them. They are more closely related to mice and rats, which is why mice usually have more hair on their tails than rats. Rats, however, do have small hairs covering their tail, like all rice and mice.
When most people hear the word "mouse", the first image that pops into their mind are albino mice, and when people hear the word "rat", they usually think of the black or blue fur color. Because of this, people often forget that black and white are not the only colors that their coats can be. Brown, black, blue, white, albino, rust, grey, tan, calico, and many others. They also have a variety of coat patterns.

This is excellent, Ashyak!
I think this will help tons of players who are in need of a source for realistic rats. Thanks for sharing with us!

You're welcome!
Any suggestions for what tutorials I should make next are appreciated!

I'm very sure many people who would like to make future rodent characters will find this very helpful; thank you very much for posting this Ashyak.
Seeming as you're looking for suggestions- I think you would be successful in making a tutorial in how to make a tiger. Not sure if you've already done that before, but I haven't seem any of those tuts around.
Or you could possibly do a how-to-make-a tutorial on Zorses.

This is a super neat tutorial! It's very well made, and I especially love the way you posted pictures of the canine models with the realistic coloring. Nice job!
-
Thanks all of you!
And I actually thought of making a tutorial on how to make tigers too!
Thanks for the suggestions!

This is a really helpful tutorial, Ashyak! I absolutely love the realistic tints to the pelts and I'm positive others will find this super handy! +Floof for you!
