Artist Statement:

 

The subject is a valiant mouse. He is a hero. A symbol of noble, earnest and modest means and a character at the heart of the world of CAIRN. He puts his trust in the inherent goodness of his fellow creatures but also wears a blue bead to ward off foes, and keeps his trusty sword close by. Inspired as much by Stuart Little as the creatures of Redwall, Cairn was a setting for storytelling and adventuring. Otters, ground hogs, meerkats, rabbits, and many other player creatures populated the world, created a community and banded together to seek out adventure and to protect their village and families. Al-Suya was the first color piece I did for the game after creating dozens of furry characters. His bold nature may be a bit tentative, but he is reliable and ready for whatever challenges and rewards the world may have for him and his friends.
