Great entries by everyone. It seems as if no new pics are going to be posted for a while, so I'm ending it.

Everybody who participiated wins this one -- since the inspiring image wasn't always the same, and since the challenge was intended to be as free-formed as possible.

Next challenge can also be made by everyone, but best by Matt or Gronkling. This is because they've had less turns to make one than geoo, and have participated more times in the current challenge than other people.

Simon urged me to start a new challenge, so he gets more opportunity to procrastinate:

Draw your favourite rodent (or any animal if you don't like rodents) with a moustache, monocle and tophat. You can add pipes, cups of tea etc. at pleasure.

This is a very good challenge, even if it's a bit hard. :-D

Sorry for gravedigging.

Here's my submission. I don't know what the theme even is anymore.

Its very pretty.
One thing I question is the length of the lemming hair.   Looks like Lemming & Lix are both female http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/smiley.gif" alt=":)" title="Smiley" class="smiley" />

Great pic!

 http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/thumbsup.gif" alt=":thumbsup:" title="Thumbs Up" class="smiley" /> very nice.

I thought Lemmings were agendered or androgynous or something.

[13:07:58] <SimonN> the lemmings are all male, or mixed genders, or genderless, it's not entirely clear
[13:08:09] <NaOH> oh
[13:08:24] <NaOH> that would make spying on hot women difficult.

I'd always imagined the lemmings as having long hair... the way that blocker shakes his hair from side to side gives me the impression of a lot of bulk.

Or maybe it's a female lemming. I don't know.

High praise considering it's literally just hair and a shirt  http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/cool.gif" alt="8)" title="Cool" class="smiley" />. For all you know, she doesn't even have a face.  http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/winktounge.gif" alt=";P" title="Wink-Tongue" class="smiley" />

If you need convincing that guys can have long hair, there's https://www.flickr.com/photos/33195905@N00/9016727699/" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">this guy who's made a few contributions to Lix  http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/tongue.gif" alt=":P" title="Tongue" class="smiley" />

I fixed it. Now the Lemming has a 'stache. Most likely a dudelem.

Also some other minor disqualifying details were remedied.
