Relinquir

Ah, almost forgot to post this guy.
It's a tiny thing (about 3x4 inches) that I painted awhile ago. Another little break from snow and the color blue, I suppose.

Remember How We Were

I was cleaning out my backpack for traveling to EuroFurence yesterday and found this ancient painting I had done and then promptly forgot about. I started it about a year ago I suppose, so it looks a little dated to me, but I like the lioness' face.
I touched up a couple of things and figured I'd post it. :]

Ritual

Wash daily from nose-tip to tail-tip; drink deeply, but never too deep;
And remember the night is for hunting, and forget not the day is for sleep.
~Rudyard Kipling

CowCat for RMFC

Nothing too fancy here--The folks at Rocky Mountain Fur Con asked me to do this fella on short notice for their conbook as an advert for next year's con.

Their theme for next year is (if you couldn't guess!) the Old West.


This year's RMFC is coming up next weekend and I'll be there! Really, I can't help but be there, since it's my hometown. ;]

I might be taking a couple sketchbooks this year in the Dealer's Room, though, that will be directly related to the amount of alcohol I've consumed before, after and during the Dealer's Room hours. I'll also have typical things, like prints and so on and so forth, and some of the original art and pages of the Nordguard comic if anyone's curious to see.

Hope to see you there!

RMFC was a blast this year! :] Lots of good company and friendly folks!

Sketchbook - Rudy

Here's another of the sketchbook commissions I did at RMFC last weekend. :]

Legend of the Rainbow Serpent

Art for FurtherConfusion's sponsor/patron print. With their theme of "Southern Crossing," one of the first things that came to my mind was the Rainbow Serpent legends. There are countless variations to the creation myths, and here's another:

A long time ago, in the Dreamtime...

Before there were men or animals, plants or any other thing, there was the Rainbow Serpent. She was the mother of us all. She moved around in the darkness before there was the sun and the moon in the sky, and her heavy, winding body created the mountain ranges and deep channels. Where she thrashed her tail, great rifts appeared, and there were great hallows where her body had lain sleeping...

MidFurX

Here's one of the things that's been keeping me busy this last week... It's a shirt design for MidFurX (Australia's largest furry convention.)

I think I found something even more tedious than watching paint dry! Vector stippling!

Nordguard, Sketched Page 36

Page by page, panel by panel, pencil by broken pencil...

Uploaded 4 more sketched pages from the graphic novel I'm working on, Across Thin Ice, to the Nordguard website (www.nordguard.com) (and the LiveJournal and Nordguard on Blogspot.)

He's on a fast track to the naughty list.

Southern Crossing

This painting was quite the challenge, but I'm pretty happy how it came out. :]
I don't think I've spent so many hours painting a single piece since college, somewhere close to ninety hours in the end.
It's about 11x17 inches and is mostly painted with acrylics.


It's the cover for FurtherConfusion's convention book next January, following their down under theme of "Southern Crossing."
I drew a lot of inspiration for it from my own experiences camping three weeks in the Outback with friends and family a few years ago. :]

From left to right, we've got Diego (dingo), Jack (red kangaroo), a quoll and feral goat up on the truck, a wombat, emu, Diego's mum, an echidna, a numbat in the foreground, a Tasmanian devil and another quoll.

Well now, if pastels don't mean it's spring, I don't know what does!

Swimming Hole

Another little piece for FurtherConfusion. I started it a few weeks ago, set it aside, and finally had the time to finish it the other day. :]
