The Frog and The Scorpion

The assignment was to take a fairy tale and illustrate the whole thing with a single image. Now, that works fine for a story like, say, little red riding hood, where everybody already knows the story, but not everyone knows the frog and the scorpion. So I figured the minimum number of images you need to tell the story is three. One to show the relationship beginning. One to show things moving along and a final one to show the conclusion. In addition I added the text, which is also as short and complete as I could get it.\r\n\r\nIf I carry you, you will sting me, and I will die./If I sting you, we will both die./Alas, I am a scorpion.\r\n\r\nIt's a story about... the inescapability of one's own nature. It's also about not trusting scorpions.\r\n\r\nArt by Anka

Sugar and Caffine; Our Drugs of Choice

Done for a highschool Science teacher of mine who recently opened a rather excellent ice cream shop. If it looks a bit like a fellow who used to make cigarettes look Oh so cool, well, that's intended! ^_^

Blue Instead Of Black Cat

Just a doodle from today, meant her to be black but couldn't be bothered to run up and get my real colored pencils, also in my MS notebook,\r\n\r\nArt and Character property of Anka

BubbleGumPrincess 001

So I got a guitar for free and after $50 in repairs it would be fully functional if I hadn't busted one of the strings trying to tune it... Did I mention I don't play the guitar? Anyway, it's atrociously pink and sparkly so I have resolved to paint a princess on it... I guess she needs a crown... Anyway this was the first attempt at that, also trying to get less sucking with a well-pen... as you can see, I really do suck. I can't make a straight line to save my life, let alone a graceful curve, is that weird? Oh well.\r\n\r\nArt by Anka,

The Mermaid

Just a Picture, wanted to try being a touch less controlled with my linework, Ta-da! Very washed out though, from the scanner...\r\n\r\nArt by Anka

Ogi Sleeps

Ogi, in watercolor, From the only sketch I did of him while he was alive. I tried to make the background colrs almost like the bright colors in the sort of Tye Dying we did as kids, and the little animal beside the beanbag chair is his baby, which we buried with him. \r\n\r\nArt by Anka

Playful

This began as a night scene, now it is what it is, I may work on it a bit more, but it will not be until my next watercolor class.\r\n\r\nArt by Anka

Dragon's Gold

Reposting a better scan\r\n\r\nWatercolor. I've always had an image in my head of a great big dragon and a teensy little kitty, just sitting together. This still isn't it, but I like it. So I share it.\r\n\r\nArt by Anka

Rainbow Thena

Cracked out colored pencils: Fat Thena, our grey kitty\r\n\r\nArt By Anka

Tribute to Ogi V2

This is a picture I did of Ogi, our poodle who just left us. He was a very good dog and greatly loved. I did two versions of this because I couldn't get the black in without weird scraggles around the figure, so here is version 2. I think you can see the picture better in this, and I was able to leave it larger without it looking bad.\r\n\r\nArt and Character property of Anka

Dancin' Fool

He's a guinea Pig, modeled after my own little Danny, though I had to change the colors, because he's white and spotted. Painted with Watercolors in my watercolor class.\r\n\r\nArt and Character Property of Anka

Exec. Cat Bookmark 2

And the second one, he's supposed to look mischevious.\r\n\r\nArt and character Property of Anka

Exec. Cat Bookmark 1

The Executive Cats have been something of a recurring theme for me though they were usually painted with oils. They have also changed a great deal of late and you may remember them from "The People Who Live In My Mind" which I posted a bit ago in several versions.\r\n\r\nArt and character property of Anka

Vetheren's Other Side

I participate in the LapineXchange on livejournal and it occured to me that my one real lapine character has been drawn once. I also needed to test my own many mediums on spiffy watercolor paper. So here is the result!\r\n\r\nArt by and character property of Anka

Mouse M.D.

Sort of old but I didn't want to scan it at first because I thought it might not be legal. However, it is a parody, and hence legal.\r\n\r\nArt by Anka

Yay! Punky Mouse!

I used to make a strip-comic titled "Yay! Bunnies!" This is the syle in which it was done. This is a punk rocker mouse.\r\n\r\nArt and character by Anka

Yay! Femdom!

I used to make a strip-comic titled "Yay! Bunnies!" This is the syle in which it was done. This is a... lioness?\r\n\r\nArt and character by Anka

Lizard Deity

I drew this in India and mostly colored it there too, I just couldn't get over it, how would you attach multiple arms that way? I sort of decided about how it should go and this was partially the result of that. It took me awhile to finish because I was scared of doing the water.\r\n\r\nArt and character Property of Anka

CG Cattaur

I have gotten better with the CG, yes? These lines have been sitting about for *ages* and it may or may not go into my portfolio now also... I wish I could do half-way decent backgrounds on the computer, rather than just color mush... Ah well. This is an X-Mas gift for my mum.\r\n\r\nArt and character property of Ankat.
