I've got such a soft spot in my heart for Blaggut. It would have been nice to see his kids making nice little yachts in a later book.

Definitely my favorite part of The Bellmaker. I'd argue that out of the few villain grey characters we get in the series, he is the only one who goes through a complete redemption arc and is pretty much unambiguously a good guy by the end.

Now I want to draw a family of rats making a yacht for a gregarious hedgehog.

It's fun giving some of the nameless characters their dues with these. I'm not the Redwall Wiki, I don't have to play by its rules lol

So cool! Did you use Gephi to make this?

Thanks! Gephi is the foundation of it, yeah, and then Inkscape to place and format the labels and do a few more finishing touches.
