Drew this just today. Had the concept in my mind for a while, although I think I forget some of the details over time. Didn't colour because lazy, and with how difficult fixing colour mistakes on paper is, I figured it might be better to get it coloured digitally.
Basically, the idea I had in mind, I sort of got from minks being hunted for fur, and Pokemon: The First Movie's short: I saw Charizard shooting flames through the pipe, and I figured filling a tunnel with fire would be a good way to purge vermin. Then my mind went to ferreting, having ferrets chase vermin out of tunnels, since they naturally hunt mice, rats, etc.
Yes, I know Furret already did it, but I think we can have more than one kind of mustelid.
I think I may have gotten ferrets, weasels, mongooses and minks mixed up somewhere along the line.
Anyway, the idea is: Fire-type ferret. Luxuriant fur, naturally warm, shoots fire into tunnels to help chase and cook prey. Popular as pets because of said fur, used for ferreting.
Considering maybe having it be part ground type for the tunnel aspect, or dark-type along the lines of the "evil weasel" cliche.
Not sure what to classify it as, and the name could use work, too. "Tunnel hunter" sounds wrong, "ferret" is too obvious and generic.
Appearance is too mundane, I think. I tried giving it a fire-like tail, but I may have gotten that wrong, and I doubt that's enough to clearly distinguish it as fire-type. Anatomy is probably bad, too.
Anyway, thoughts, /vp/? Critique?
