Simtra Firefox invokes the element of fire at the southern end of the circle in preparation for ritual. This image marked a bunch of artistic "firsts" ---my first attempt at a simple background, my first use of a live model for posing, and my first color image. My husband served as the model and then colored the piece for me using watercolor pencils. Simtra © Stephen Johnson. Artwork © Fran Wolfe-Johnson

Colored version of an older piece. Mixed media (drafting pens, watercolor, colored pencil) on cardstock. This is a self portrait of sorts. I used my own body as a model and drew it with my FurryMUCK character Arrien's distinctive triskelion fur pattern. Art and character © Fran Wolfe-Johnson 2004.

Salen the Stampede, notorious for his rough housing and practical jokes, has Simtra Firefox in a headlock because he feels the adminstration of a noogie is in order. TygerMoon Foxx, as usual, arrives on the scene too late to save her fox from humiliation. This represented a new style for me; I don't normally draw anime influenced cartoons. It does, however, fit the personalities of the people to whom the characters belong. Salen is the intellectual property of Rhan'lav. Simtra Firefox is the intellectual property of Stephen P Johnson.
