Stealth Rat - Sidekick Design

A NPC sidekick character designed to support the player character with all of their stealth related activities. The Stealth Rat comes equipped with a crossbow with various bolts of different status effects, smoke bombs for escaping, lockpicks to access the inaccessible, a grappling hook for traversal, a dagger for a personal touch and a special mechanism combined with their tail to help unburden the lovely townsfolk of their valuables.

I had my fair share of hiccups on this project, I don't normally design characters but this was a surprisingly fun project. Learnt a lot about design function, posing and finish.
