Fire Spirit

The fire blazing before her leaped into the pendant at her throat. There was a white hot pain but she bore it and let the fire consume her soul. Then, she awoke, reborn.

The image says just about everything.

I did this drawing like a year ago and for some reason, never uploaded it.
It's a combination of Illustrator and Photoshop.

My first image to upload to Velar. I drew this in the spring of 1999, and
though the perspective is a little off, I really was happy with it at the time
because it was a point where inking, colouring, perspective and proportions were
all starting to come together, and I made use of scenery to help establish
what was going on in the picture.
It's a bored young kit, but I hope, from the other elements, the veiwer
can figure out where she is and why she's bored. :)

Did this piece as sort of a charity thing for a friend who is in need to money. It was fun though a lot of work. I get a little obessive with detail now and then. I'm working on another version of this drawing done all in Illustrator and photoshop to compare the look and feel of the hand-drawn one versus the computer drawn one.

The heiress to a large fortune but she lived alone, wandering the empty halls and rooms, a dark merlot her only company. She was strange, alien, considered a demon by many.

Yes, I'm still reading Heavy Metal comics, they're incouraging all this inking and hatching. Though one thing I still lack is people. Something I'm most struct by in Heavy Metal is the density of people in the drawings. You seldom see a single person in a scene or even two. More frequently, it's 10 or 20. This is something I definetely need to work on.

The anthropomorphism in this piece is in the medium itself and not so much the
subject. It's kind of 'conceptual' furry art. Impasto is a style of painting
where thick globs of paint are put onto the canvas to make the scene, so the
series this painting is from is called 'Impawsto'. Because I've taken rubber
stamps of the animal's paw (or in this case hoof) print and used it to make
the scene.

It is not just a scene of a deer, but who he is, make with a mark that he could
make himself rather than one created by humans, and the piece is about his
place, this deer's sense of identity in the world.

Painted in acrylics on 11"x14" Watcolour board, using a stamp of a buck's
hoof.

Quickie piece done in Illustrator for Karou on FurryMUCK because I was bored and needed something to draw. Came out pretty well, I think although it's not a character type I'd normally draw.

Two wanderers, Katrina and Firemane. I don't know much about them as they were just passing through.

Brush ink, marker, and colored pencil on bristol.

My partner's mother decided to let her little sister pick out a kitten from the SPCA as a christmas present so I offered to make a card for her. Freehanded this real quick in Illustrator in just a couple hours. Sorta happy about that. This time last year I don't think I could have drawn a straight line in Illustrator in as little time as it took me to do this. :)

"Leave the bottle." was all he said, then he sat there, still as a statue except to refill his glass and take another drink as he tried to forget.

Marker and ink. Extensive use of a clear blending marker to get the worn look in the fabrics. I think I like it.

Leviathan Approaches

They sat on the shore of the strange underground ocean and feasted upon the curious mushrooms that grew within the caverns. Forthwith, the calm blue water stirred. A strange and writhing shape surged up from the depths. The leviathan approached.

ArtRage and Photoshop

Yes, I know Rendezvous is mispelled. I'm gonna claim it's deliberate for trademarking purposes though. (Mostly because I'm lazy. It's easy to change in Illustrator)

Anyhow, simple Illustratory thing. An add in an add and 3-breasted martians woo! :) I think I've been drinking too much of that martian brandy or something. :)

MEATBUS

RIDE THE MEATBUS!

Weird industrialist mechanical thing.

Originally did a much more garish Dr. Suessish colour scheme on this but I was playing around with my layers and got this and though it was more interesting than the colours I'd been working on.

Merepony

It's funny... I don't remember smoking any crack and yet...

Another daily drawing. Ink and paint in Illustrator this time. I'm quite pleased with the bubble-brush I made for myself. Hard not to go crazy with bubbles though.

Sometimes the better mouse IS the better mousetrap. O_O

The little mouseboy is alright tho. He's @_@ not x_x! I hope he learned somethin' about chasing mouseygirls tho.

Brush inked and coloured pencil on bristol.

Orruh

Sketch done on 15x20 piece of watercolor paper while watching The Dark Crystal.

Pegasus

*shame* I think I had some kind of flashback to the sorts of posters that were in my room when I was a child. *blush*

Me 'n' my camera. I've been doing animation for a long time 'n' now I'm starting ta work on film cause it's somehow neater than video, so I've been reallyreallyreally obsessed with my camera 'n' stayed up late drawin' it 'n' stuffs. :)

"Genius at Work" Persimmon drawing herself drawing herself drawing herself
drawing herself while standing on her head.

Persimmon is my character on FurryMUCK. She likes to draw, but where does an
eight inch tall squirrel find writing utensils in her size?

The first feline space explorer to set foot on an alien world.

Painted with acrylics, using airbrush and conventional brush techniques
on 11x14 marker board.

A pixie caught in a dryder's web. At first, this was on a white background
with a black web, but as I inked, it seemd to look better and better the more
black I added. I eventually ended up inking almost the entire page.

Charcoal and chalk pastel. Just a quick rough-out for an idea I haven't decided if I want to develop yet.

Ragdoll and the Very Dark Path

"This is fun, Mr. Mushroom!", she cried out as she rode along bumping on his back and none the wiser where he might be taking her.

Done in photoshop from an inked sketch.

"The Reef of Souls" ... I spent a lot of time working on this piece. It's
something I thought about for a long time. I first logged into furry about
10 years ago. At the time, I had a lot of issues going on in my life and
VR was a place to escape to... Or maybe it was a siren's song dragging me down.
I failed out of college and spent a majority of my time online, never doing
anything else. Eventually I got my head straightened out, started spending
less time online, and even went back to school where I now carry a 4.0...
Now and then though, I see other lost souls, drifting helplessly towards the
Reef.
In the image itself, you can see their spectral furry forms, being drawn
from their corporeal being and drawn away.
Painted in acrylics on a cotton machine-weave heavy duty canvas. 18"x24"

Half woman, half machine, she raced across the plains. There was only one who could match her speed and when they had run all they could, and raced for as long as they wanted, they surrendered to one another.
Done in marker and ink on bristol.

Ah spring. The businessmen are in bloom.
