Missile Mouse is caught off guard by a deadly basgus. Though space mice are not a part of the usual diet for a hungry basgus Missile Mouse will do just fine to ease the hunger pains. It’s shell is said to be one of the strongest materials in the galaxy. And as such, segments of it’s exoskeleton go for the highest dollar on the black market. Consequently, the basgus superior design has caused it be one of the most adaptive species in the galaxy, easily evolving to survive in different extreme environments and climates. There’s even word of giant basgus who live in the lava flows of distant planets.
This is a recent commission I did for someone. Since finishing the book it had been a few months since I’ve drawn MM and I admit I got a little rusty. Below is a video of me drawing this commission. You’ll notice I had to erase parts of Missile Mouse a few times before getting it right. If you want one of these original Missile Mouse drawings you can order one here.
