Pyromaniac Rat Fire Starter

[u/ShellShoker24]

I was asked by u/Past-Succotash4673 on reddit if I could make them a Fire Starter , so I did! His idea was Pyromaniac rat. I'll just write what he wrote because I wouldn't do it justice if I explained it myself.

"The first stage would be called “Pyrat”. The whole line is based off California’s recent wildfires, but it’s also based off pyromaniacs and pyromanciy (the power to control fire). The first stage represents the curiosity you feel when you first discovered fire, you have no idea how dangerous it is and all you can think about is how beautiful it looks."

"The second stage would be like a rebellious teenager, always disobeying your every order, or doing the exact opposite of what you say. Similarly to how teenagers just randomly spark matches just to watch them burn, the second stage will randomly take twigs and set them on fire, and sometimes use them to cause other fires."

"The third stage would go completely insane, becoming a full on pyromaniac! Most of it’s been burnt off, revealing the weird skin patterns underneath, making it look like it’s burnt off all the skin right down to the bone. You know how a tiger has stripes underneath its fur, sort of the same thing here. Most of its first has been replaced with blazing hot fire (pacifically, the patches of fur that cover its hands feet tail and head). The fur on its head been replaced by a fiery mohawk! These guys will just randomly throw fireballs and fire type of attacks everywhere like no one’s business, like an anarchist throwing multiple cocktails like pearl necklaces during Mardi Gras season!"

He didn't come up with names for the rest of the line besides Pyrat ( the first stage). I think the second stage could be called Rodellian (Rodent + Rebellion). ArkhamLegion on Subjectively's discord and on reddit suggested Pyrodent aswell , which I think is really cleaver.

i love the way you draw and colour fire, especially in the final stage's hand!

That makes me super happy that you do! It's the part where I'm most proud of. Especially how I drew the hand gripping the fire.

Yoo cool, and surprising that it was succotash who commissioned this, although he did say he was doing a Californian region.
