WATCHER: "When Gene says Marten I knew this was made for DeviantArt in the first place"

I'm known as both 'Marten' and 'Chippy'. lol However, most know me as 'Marten', so Marten's my default handle. :3

Anyway...

I did say, a year or two (or three) ago that I'd revisit the world of Psalty the Singing Songbook (PtSSB) ...and so I have. ^^

For those who don't know, PtSSB is a strange, Christian-oriented musical series for young children (and, yes, Psalty is an anthro hymnal).

Among Psalty's friends is Charity Churchmouse: the lead singer in a Christian pop choir.
When Charity appears in stories, it's usually for her to learn whatever lesson the story hopes to impart to its listeners (Charity develops as the series progresses).

Now, as this is a 'Ferret-Style' drawing, I haven't tried to draw Charity on-model. Instead, this is how Charity would look in my world (if, say, she were to visit Gene and Tasli ...which won't happen; don't ask) ^^

I effectively just raised Charity's cheeks and flattened her head a bit.
Additionally, I ditched the white gloves and Minnie-Mouse shoes (I don't care for either, in general).

That said, Charity's costume here is otherwise the same as that which she wore on the cover of her 'Charity Chuchmouse: On the Front Line' album.
I want to say the illustrator was thinking 'captain in the army' (judging by the two bars on Charity's hat), but (to my uneducated eye) Charity's costume says 'flight attendant'. ^^

Anyway, I drew this with a 'Foremost' model *pencil from Reliance. Why?
Because first and foremost, you can rely on the Lord!

...Ok, if you didn't find that funny, you probably won't like the Psalty series, as it's replete with such humor and is (of course) religious. ^^

*sorry it's not clearer---the paint rubbed off!

That said, I'm Christian, so the latter tag doesn't bother me so much, albeit given PtSSB's demographic, its Christian views are very simplistic and (at times, consequently) painful to listen to. :P

Enjoy Charity's 'Front Line' album here (link tested 05/17/2020): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loRKvmhTbOg

The basic story is Charity allows her ego to come between she and her choir, which causes break-up ...just before an important musical competition, of course.
Will Psalty and his Biblical wisdom be able to reach Charity and bring everyone back together before it's too late?

It's hardly a spoiler to answer 'yes' here, as the songs are more important/interesting than the story. ^^

For an earlier story of how Charity met the *churchmice, go here (link tested 05/17/2020): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zh4TFp3JKZw

*They call themselves 'The Cheeses for Jesus', but ...yeah (I warned ya about the humor!) -_-

As for the songs ...they're cute; their appeal is obvious (I listen to them on my own every rare once in a while). :3

My favorite Psalty song (link tested 05/17/2020): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShK6362XJMQ

Anyway... Charity Churchmouse! :D

oh wow that takes me back to when I was a kid owning(well not me personally it was the families copy) the third album "Sing-sational servants" where charity gets full of herself and is mean to her other chior members (poor limburger) then gets tricked in a dream to sign a lifetime contract by a shady record promoter rat..... sigh goodtimes^^

found on youtube a rip of the video of album 4 singsational servants :-)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fs7iofd97hc

went to the credits just to make sure what i told you was correct being that Debby Kerner Rettino wasn't in IMDB as playing Charity Churchmouse for that album,and her husband is indeed Ernie Rettino, the guy that plays Psalty. :-)

Just watched the whole thing. ^^

...It seems the one playing Mozzerella (Tammy Rettino) is also related (a daughter, perhaps)?

I noticed Charity seems to be wearing a uniform like the Salvation Army workers wear.   :-)

Yup!

That's the outfit she wore on her 'On the Front Line' album cover. :3
