I'm not sure if this image by an artist named Johannes Holm is actually Redwall, but it is a similar style. I found it on the TaleWorlds Forum (see the
Redwall: Vermin Resurgence (http://redwallabbey.com/forum/index.php?topic=4129.new#new) topic I just started).

I did find a website for
The Art of Johannes Holm (http://www.johannesholm.com/), but it looks like it uses a Flash design that doesn't work on my ancient computer.
Edit: I've found
Johannes Holm's Blogspot page (http://johannesholm.blogspot.co.nz/) where it says this about these characters:
QuoteThe Rodents
As part of a personal project this line-up comes from a short story that I am currently writing. A medieval world with battles between rivaling Rodents being fought in the forests. Had a lot of fun with it and each one of these guys has a history of their own.
So that aren't Redwall characters (feel free to move the topic somewhere else).
Those are some good drawings! The animal on the far left looks like a ground hog, so it might not be Redwall. Haha the artist has the same name as I do. :)
Nice picture!
I dont want to get on there wrong side!!!

Yep, it's not Redwall. The groundhog and the red squirrel do prove that (England has grey squirrels, America has red squirrels), but it could almost be characters from a Redwall story based on the land over the western sea from Mossflower. :)
Hopefully the artist's story (and more images) gets released somewhere.

We had red squirrles in Europe.
I'd have to look them up, but I think they originally came from America (brough back by early explorers) ... but it's the grey squirrel which is the only native to England.

That's what I though, b/c I only ever saw Red squirrles where ever I went in Europe, but here (US) you see mostly grey/brown squirrles...some white.

That's true, I've never seen a red squirrel in America.
Somone should find some more pictures of these!
I've seen a red squirrel! Well, brownish. ::)
Yeah, grey squirrels were brought to England from North America. Red ones were already here but have gradually become rarer, although they can be found a little more commonly on the Isle of Wight and in the Highlands of Scotland, for example. There are certainly a lot of grey squirrels around these days. They're cute, but red squirrels are nicer. Don't think I've ever seen a red in the wild, sadly. Unless stated otherwise as grey or black, I'm pretty sure Jacques intended all his squirrels in the books to be red.
As to the picture - it's pretty cool! Very nice detail. :D

Yes, they became rarer because the two species didn't exactly get on and the grey squirrels killed most of them off
Dont the grey ones give the red ones a disease that lowers there numbers?
No, I believe that they chase them away and steal their food.
And I really like the drawing.
