Soon nothing remained of the rat except his long, thrashing tail. The owl, feeling quite pleased with itself, took its time enjoying its paunchy, rat-filled belly. Its tongue licked around the rat's tail, savoring its flavor as the owl slowly swallowed its morsel. Soon enough, the owls would slurp its delicious prey down, and fly off home. It had been a good day hunting, perhaps the owl would return in a day or two, when it started feeling peckish again.

Huh, interesting concept, the small predator going after a natural prey and able to tuck it away with hammerspace, effectively making the rat as powerless as one of the lesser ferals? Pretty neat :o
But then again maybe I'm just biased cause I like owls, haha

Thanks for the comment. I'll have you know Funfair was part of my inspiration for this idea. :D

What really, haha, I'm not even sure how that might work, though wait I guess there was the hammerspace gut with the bunny, okay that's fair then haha

Yes that was part of it. I was also a big fan of the eagle scene. Not so much about the hammerspace as being powerless to stop it. Cheers!

Is this fatal or is he going to be reformed? I really think this guy needs a story on what his live his been like from beginning to end and how the rest of the world works with the way that it is. Hope to see more art of Shaun and maybe add a possible story for him in the future.
Heck a comic or story series might work for this guy but that's just my opinion.

I suppose the story I wrote to go with the pictures implies fatal. That said I wanted to test the water for this character and see if there was much interest in him and his world, so he'll probably be seen again. I've got some ideas of what that might entail, but I welcome any feedback you might have about it.

I really liked this series and the writing that goes with it. I wonder about the owl pellet that would come out of this, though...
Speaking of owls, their faces are really deceptive. Their mouths are much larger than it appears. Normally I don't deep-link or link at all, but check out these:

Both eagle owls, but some other species are much more extreme. Maybe it wouldn't help too much in this scenario, but if I'm going to eat something ten times my size, every bit of an advantage matters, amirite???? yeah you know what I'm talking about anyway I'll go now

Thanks for the references, I'll keep them saved for the next time I get a commission.
I'm pretty happy with the reception this series got, keeping in mind I haven't seen the explanation I used for this situation before. I'm always happy to hear feedback.
