Dr. Johnston

Meet M1320, better known as “Dr. Johnston.”


Dr. Johnston is a genderless, genetically engineered, humanoid rodent. Its less intellectual counterparts are usually assigned to jobs as assistants, help, and in the military, but Dr. Johnston has proven itself a noteworthy competitor in the scientific fields.
Dr. Johnston has written several books, including Humanity: the Perspective of a Non-Human and GM, GE, and the Next Generation, and has won several awards and honors in its field.

Now that formalities are out of the way...

M1320 is one of the most revered and absolutely hated GE rodents of its fictional universe. At the moment, it appears to be correcting someone, perhaps Minister-General Halsev, on technicalities. Those two clash quite often.
It’s still a concept. So far, Dr. Johnston doesn’t have pants; it’s genderless, so that’s okay, right?


Here are some sketchies:

Dr. Johnston sketches and concepts; ignore the creepy thing in the top left 0_o
 
Halsev's clothing concepts with the anatomy gradually falling apart
 
Halsev and a GE rodent (Alex, perhaps) discussing politics, which is odd because Halsev hates the GE rodents.  Plus, the style looks inconsistent.  I shall have to work on that...

Are the GE rodents uncanny valley enough, or should I step up the creepiness?
