Don't Worry About Me, Love; I'm Too Busy Playing With The Stars!

Commission for my Aunt of their beloved dog they lost May 28, 2008 to bone cancer.

Yuri is a happy little rat! <3 my sweet boy.

Comic started, and intended to be finished, around Halloween '05, but i kinda forgot about it. Oh well, now it is just craziness with friends! (btw, it makes more sense if you know Roo isn't so fond of pet rats at all, and D and i both have some)

Christmas present for my parents.. Shhh, i dont think they know about it yet!

Different types of scrapbooking paper, xacto knife, gluestick.

"What's the Best Life for a Candle?"
I don't know why that's the title exactly.. but it kind of works.. and..yes. We'll leave it at that.
This little guy is based off one of my boys, Chester.
Prisma coloured pencils on black cardstock.

Ballpoint pen (blue and black) work doodle turned cute ^^

Banner for the top of my LJ.
Mmm yay, impending crash and Centrum labels! ;)

I..hadn't uploaded this here yet? Wow..

Anyhow, just a cute image cuz, well, it's true ^^

'Objects of my Dysfunction' aka 'Psycho Bitch' XP

Art venting was good this time. Yes. It was very soothing and enjoyable, and i quite like the results, even if no one but me will understand what each item is meant to symbolize. If you think you understand any of them, you're probably wrong :P

Just playing around with some watercolours... Image is for sale; email me if interested (cricket_fur @ cluemail . com)

Watercolours on 9x12 inch watercolour paper.

Slight symbolism. Newer border collie character LolliPup vs. Cricket.

Just a cute little pinup of Cricket doodled during breaks at work the other day.

Gratuitous cuteness.
Flash 5 over pencil sketch.

Fun with Flash ^^ I've a few more sketches in this style to finish up.. but these two are done :)
A rottie and a lynx dancing to their boombox.
I mainly listened to Black Eyed Peas' "Where is the Love?" while working on this...

Apologies for the greyish photo... I wasn't keen on the idea of spending the same amount of time piecing together scans of this image as it did to create the whole thing in the first place.
Just 3 hours of mindless scribbling on a piece of 12x18 inch paper. Tis LolliPup, a character of mine who doesn't get drawn much. Yay for incense...

Oh man, am i ever getting lazy about my backgrounds! I suppose its better than when my images never had any... but still.. slapping a few filters on a photo i took, and adjusting the colours and levels? ick. Bad Crickee! Oh well, anyhow, this is Hxui and Cricket just horsing around. You could say there is some symbolism in this image too...
Drawn during breaks at work, so the running poses are a little off. Background photo is from a trip i took to Yellowstone a few years ago. Micron inks, Prisma markers, PS7.

Not gonna go into depth on what spurred this picture on. I'd rather just forget ..err.. chalk it up to learning.
I'll just say things are resolved and Crickee doesn't feel so ..dead.. inside anymore.
yay ^^

mmm i butchered the image with a brushpen and my markers.

Oh, and yes, i own all those plushes.

..So much for getting my apartment deposit back..

=P Actually, drawing this prevented some similar scenario happening irl.
*nods her head n wanders away*


Grey scale Prisma markers (cool grey, french grey, warm grey, and a touch of deco aqua), Micron ink, red Splash ink, white gel pen.

Erm... im getting really sick of the Christmas music they've been playing at work..? Well.. :/ they started playing it before Thanksgiving even! And i think there are about 4 different versions of 'Frosty the Snowman' that they play in the whole mix... The mix lasts about 3 hours before it starts repeating......
I swear... Rudolph might be next x.x

Prisma markers and micron ink.
This took 3 or 4 hours, majority of that time being consumed by that damn pine tree >.< neeeeeedlessss

Big, steaming piles of shit really stink. Here's my metaphorical attempt to cut the crap.

Drawing while at work produces some odd things sometimes o.o;

Cuz sometimes...i miss him so much, all i can do is lay down and cry.
..or, when at work, draw what i feel like doing -.-

Cuz sometimes, we say or do things we later regret.
Ah well.... We're soon old and so late smart. -.-

I was playing Dogz5, saw the little bat flying around the Haunted Mansion, and was like, "OMG i must draw a bat!" And so i did ^^;
Now the little dragonfly...well..i don't know why he is out so late, but he's gonna regret it!! Or maybe they're buddies and the bat is escorting the dragonfly around so no other bats eat him!

Done in ProCreate PainterClassic with my Wacom tablet.

Front of a card im working on... Gonna send it to Alan's Grandparents as a thank-you..just for taking care of him n looking out for him while i can't be there. Stupidly sappy, i know..but.. oh well. I want to thank them anyhow.

This is about 3x5 inches, and was done in 45 mins while on breaks at work.

Yeah, yeah, they may not look like much, but im proud of them lol
I am such a narcissist >.< (dog form at least)

Total time to complete the mood theme, including sorting them out over at LiveJournal, but excluding a botched computer-colouring attempt: 8-9 hours.
If you like these and think you want me to make you a set of your own, think twice. Mucho dinero...things like this wont come cheap from me. I enjoyed it, but they were a pain in the butt! lol
Also, if you think you can steal these, DON'T. I will get after you for it. It will make no one happy. Thank you :)

I couldn't help myself! XD There were some drawings that just didn't fit the emotion i had assigned to them, and others i had originally forgotten about, so i had to make some more!

And again (just to be darned annoying), i shall reiterate: If you think you can steal these, DON'T. I will get after you for it. It will make no one happy. Thank you :)

The rough sketch for this appeared in my sketchbook while watching "Nightmare Before Christmas." My brother and his wife are getting a borzoi soon, so i have borzois on the brain heh... Chalk pastels on 16.5x24 inch black canson paper. (This was photographed with a digital camera, so it's a tad blurry; my apologies.)

Coloured version ^^ Scanner beat the crap out of the colours though.. this is my sad attempt to revive them x.x Really, the shadow doesn't glow at all!! And it's not so orange..more brownish.

Yeah... erm.. does anyone have a background idea? I'm totally stuck lol
