Here's my homework from the first week of my character design class. We had to draw an assigned animal, and I got weasel.
I did a few more realistic sketches first as a bit of reseach
I started off in more of a Max Fleischer direction with the weasel at first, but I scrapped that idea. I do that style too often and thought I should start to try to leave my comfort zone. i'm pretty pleased with what I came up with. These following drawings were just some real quick and rough afterthoughts on costumes.
There basically all cliches, which honestly, I love. There's the sleazy porn theater patron, the club douche bag (with Ed Hardy hat!), and of course, my favorite, the hobo. Seriously, one of my favorite cliches ever is the hobo with broken top hat, bindle, and cigar butt.
My teacher said we should name our characters, so I named him Dennis after some kid I went to high school with. The kid looked and acted like a weasel. Last I heard, he's never left the home town, does blow and works mopping up in a porn shop. Keep chasing the dream, kid.

Pretty Sweet. Now draw me a Pig and Chicken in bed together.
I like the movement in the landscape oriented weasel/stoat, ferret thing. It works really well. Can I suggest you try varying your line quality? I think it will only improve your work. Another great reference for these guys is Roger Rabbit, I think there were some nefarious weasel characters that were really great.
