Scorchella

New critter! Supposedly based on a mole, although it doesn't look much like one.
0.7 mechanical pencil, 0.1 drawing pen and felt tip markers; background added with GIMP 2. Comments welcome! :)

These curious, mole-like creatures may have hair made of fire, but Scorchella are no hot-heads.
Keeping their pretty match skirts in top condition is hard work and prevents them from ever being able to play in the rain or run around in long grass in case the friction sets it alight. Just as well they used extra-long safety matches instead of the regular ones; otherwise they’d be combusting all over the place.
Keeping a Scorchella isn’t recommended for obvious reasons (especially if you’ve got kids), but they’d be great to have at barbecues and bonfires.
