Kinda realistic PIKACHU

Ok, i know this has been done to death. but i've just been inspired lately so i figured, what the hell? just a quick warm up sketch i was doing after watching some Pokemon abridged on youtube, lol. anywho, don't expect too much out of me guys. don't know if i'm gonna go full blown on the whole "realistic pokemon" thing, but i may do a few. if you guys have any cool ideas, let me know. anyways, enjoy. might do Pikachu's other forms too, just for fun. thanks for watchin'!

EDIT:
my version of Pikachu is mixed with a few different animals. mostly, mouse, cat, guinea pig, and rabbit. most of these are in the rodent family, so i thought it was appropriate. but that face, i think is a cat's all the way, lol. with a hint of chipmunk or guinea pig.

also, i thought those circles on his cheeks should be bare or layered, hairless patches of skin. i figure, since thats where the electricity is stored, there wouldn't be any hair growing around those "glands", to make it more realistic. i dunno, lol. what do you guys think? let me know
