Week 14-Mini Series #2, three small animal drawings

For my second mini series I decided to focus my work on three small animals. A pink fairy armadillo, axolotl, and chinchilla were these creatures. For starters, a pink fairy armadillo is the smallest armadillo weighing less than one pound. Tv remotes and phones weigh less than a pound. They also actually have a pink color on their shells. Much like the pink fairy, axolotls are less heard of. Axolotls are multicolored Mexican salamanders. These creatures have a very interesting back story, being named after an ancient god... Finally, chinchillas have some of the finest, thickest, fur of all other rodents. Unfortunately they are targeted for having such fur. It is sad that people make coats out of their coats. All of these animals weigh under ten pounds and are very adorable. 

Glinda

In the Wizard of Oz, the good witch, Glinda, is a powerful and cheerful sorceress who wears a pink gown. I decided to name this small, pink fairy armadillo after this character. Pink fairy armadillos are the smallest armadillos because they weigh less than one pound. Remotes and cell phones typically weigh less than a pound in comparison. By giving this creature a magic wand, crown, and some red wings I was able to play with its unique name.

Chilly Chinchilla

 Chinchillas have some of the finest, thickest, fur of all other rodents. Unfortunately they are targeted for having such fur. Their fur is used in many expensive coats that cost thousands of dollars. Since chinchillas are so small, it also costs hundreds of chinchillas lives to create one single coat. This chinchilla is wearing a chinchilla coat to make a statement about how ridiculous it is to wear another animal's fur. It is sad that people make coats out of their coats. The harsh red background represents blood shed.

Almighty axolotl

Axolotls are multicolored Mexican salamanders. They can be brown, albino, pink, and gray. These creatures have a very interesting back story being named after an ancient god. Xolotl is the god of the dead and the underworld in old Aztec mythology. Since axolotls have the ability to regrow limbs, spinal chords, and their jaw, they have an ability to sort of fight back against death. I gave this creature a pitch fork and a grim reaper-like black gown to represent this dark and interesting aspect of axolotls.
