My Critter Boyfriend - REDUX
It's that time of...decades, I guess! Several years wiser and also better at drawing, I decided to do another My Critter Boyfriend poll.
Well all know of course that rodents (and similar) are better than canines and felines and boring ass preds in general in pretty much every measurable way. So it stands to reason that the only competition they can experience is between each other. So here we have the four, core Critter Boys for your consideration. Who is your Critter Boyfriend? Going only by what you see here, vote for your ideal beau (A B C or D) in the comments below.

You can feel free to rattle off your thoughts if you want, I actually think one of the more interesting things about this kind of poll (I've done this before, a few years back) is the kinds of assumptions people make about them as potential partners based entirely on their faces, but this time around people seem to just be picking whichever one matches their species so a little insight might be refreshing.
Alrighty. Granted, this is all just my interpretation, and while species did have an influence on who I picked, it wasn't enough to really tip the scales.
Let's start off with Arturo. He looks gruff and rough around the edges, and isn't exactly one to show a lot of emotion lightly, and his ways of showing his affection are presumably very subtle. Little gestures here and there, his own way of telling his partner that he does actually give a fuck about them. A lot more than most, even. I'd hazard a guess that his manner of speech takes on a tonal shift when he's all alone with them. Somewhat lighter. The prick is still there, but the edges are blunted.
Skipping to Crispin, he seems the gentle sort. Soft-spoken, kind of wary, likes to distance himself from a lot of the action and stick to the sidelines, watching things go down. The apple of his eye will be able to crack through that distant shell of his, and find out that the lop-eared rabbit is a hopeless romantic underneath it all, almost too eager to pile on the affection. Getting the vibe that he'd be a very touchy-feely lover.
Next, on to Desmond. The round glasses. The way he ducks his head slightly towards his shoulders. This dork is a bona-fide nerd in appearances. I get the feeling that he's kind of a jittery guy who can barely sit still. Little ball of bashful anxiety who eyes his crush from afar. Anyone who gets close to him is bound to see that he's got a lot to say, and has so much that he's passionate about. As much as he would like to gush about his own interests, he's just as eager to listen to others about theirs. He would likely try to engage with the activities his lover gets up to, just as much as he tries to share his own. Quality time together is what really makes his day.
And finally, we get to my pick: Brett. He looks to be pretty outgoing, wears his heart on his sleeve, and can be a bundle of energy when it gets down to it. Somewhat of an airhead, but he has a pretty big heart to make up for it. This is the guy that pretty much gets along with anyone and would be kind of oblivious to love at first, but when he falls, he'll fall hard. When he's alone with the object of his affections, he'll be satisfied with their company. He'll view it as enough. Sometimes just go on over and lean onto them, and just be. He lets the jovial attitude drop a little, and can be honest with both himself and them. He can say that they're special to him, and actually mean it.

To be honest, I'm not really supposed to be giving people ideas on how to feel about these guys but quite frankly, I would say those are some pretty spot on observations, at least in terms of how I interpret each of them so, well done. And I suppose I'll give myself some credit for hitting the marks I was going for (even if Crispin is yet another example of a lop-eared rabbit coming out about 75% as 'powerful' as I envision him in my head).
I should actually be picking a winner right about...now, the poll's been open for a week in various locations and aside from you, engagement has pretty much dried up so I suppose I'd better get to sketching out something for the victor.
