The triumphant return of Travis Dalton! Armed with a staff that's more than meets the eye and a very bizarre hairstyle, he's back for more!

Travis proclaims he is the sexiest and coolest Australian furry in the world. Can he be proven wrong??? I'm thinkin' no.

Bors Fortinbras, conjuring up some mystical holy lightning while he casts as spell, probably one to horribly mutilate some Initiates he's fighting. Serves them right for taking on an angry god.

This is more dynamic posing practice. I think I'm getting better. I really like Bors' facial expression too.

Kumiko Nishigawa has a lot to be angry about. As a baby, she was doomed to be trapped in a hostile world when Sabine killed Azmodan.

Kumiko's faced Sabine before, at least a few times. And each time, Kumiko has failed. All she can do is keep honing her martial arts skills, and await the next meeting with her nemesis. Each and every time she kicks the black bag, she imagines it's Sabine or Ralf or whoever she particularily hates at the moment. To her, Sabine is as good as in the grave.

My character Morgan Frontenac, letting a tear run down her cheek after the fall of the demon lord Azmodan. Azmodan took out her eye with one clean claw slash. Her eye would be restored in two years, but she continues to carry the scar over her eye.

One day I decided to do a giftart for Serena-H because she's such a swell person and she's always been supportive during my moments of need. Rena this is for you! You and Sabine goin' on a cross country trip in your own movie!

Rena belongs to SerenaH
Sabine belongs to Gussie Jives

Title inspired by a Tragically Hip song. What else is new?

My character Morgan Frontenac, touching the headstone of her fallen father, Jacques. Her father was killed during the first demon war. Morgan was too late to save his life, but she avenged his death by fighting back against he demons that killed him. And now, many years later, she visits her father once again.

New character of mine. Her name is Cordelia Leslie McFee AKA The Nor'Wester. Comin' to Thalland City to make her mark. She's gonna get more than she bargained for.

Standin' in front of a farmer's field, shoot of grass in her mouth, just being carefree in her aggressive style.

Inspired by The Tragically Hip song Cordelia.

Photo of Morgan taken during one of The Original Six's shows for their 2004 Pacemaker Tour. Morgan's bass is always the calm, melodic element that offsets Sabine's manical drumming, Ute's insane dances, Christina's near haunting organ music, Bors' on-stage antics and St. John's Pete Townshend impressions.

St. John rockin' out on his customized Fender Stratocaster... Jimmy Page style. He's gone completely for the greasy rocker look. If his wife likes it, it's gotta be alright no?

And who can forget St. John's sexy chest? It's okay, you can touch it.

Ute doesn't play any instruments. But when it's her turn to sing, it's her turn to shine. Otherwise she just dances about the stage, which is all good being the professional dancer she is.

Never being a girl to pass up a chance to be provocative, she's chosen to wear her favourite dress on Tour. The dress was inspired by the sort of black dresses that Stevie Nicks frequently wears herself, but Ute likes to flaunt her body, so her dress has one rather noticeable difference. She's also kinda gothed herself up with the nails, the lipstick and some eyeshadow. She's also let her hair out for added sexiness, although that's probably not what the audience will be focused on.

Christina is The Original Six's piano/keyboard/organ player. When she plays her soulful melodies, she can't help but smile and look at her husband St. John. He means so much to her that she can only express it in song and even then can't do her feelings justice. The songs she writes on the band's Pacemaker album... she writes for him.

If there's anybody in the band that wears less clothing than Ute, it's her sister Sabine, the bands maniacal drummer. Sabine's capable of banging and crashing hard rock style or being as soft as a duvet, if you'll pardon the analogy. Here it's hard rock time, getting so into the rhythm that even her hair dances.

The final image in the Pacemaker Tour 2004 series to round out The Original Six. Here's the bands frontman, Bors Fortinbras himself. In addition to the lead guitar, he's also the lead vocalist of the group and in his nationalist tradition, sports a customized Fender Stratocaster emblazoned with the Canadian Flag.

This is a parody of The Beatles' album Let It Be. Bors has taken the place of John Lennon, St. John has taken the place of Paul McCartney, Sabine is Ringo Starr and Morgan is George Harrison.

The cover of their band's latest EP. Whoo!

Every time I hear the song Silver Jet, I think of this scene. Bors and his wife Sabine, standing in the Thalland wilderness, bathed in violet light, hearing the unseen silver jet roar above them.

It takes a tried and true Canuck to do this. It really does.

This is my character, Ralf Daniel Bethlehem following a rather gruesome murder he committed. Yes, he's a pure psychopath. And a jackal. That's the victim's heart he's crushing his his left hand by the way. Lovely....

Inked and coloured using Photoshop 7.

Sabine Blasendorf, Borsite Matriarch and an anthro domestic cat. As a priestess, she has access to divine spells granted by her god and lover Bors Fortinbras. She's currently casting some spell that conjures up some red fog, cigarette in hand. Whatever it is, it's gonna hurt her opponent a lot more than it's gonna hurt her, that's for sure. Why is she wearing a weird swimsuit? She likes showing off her body.

Inked and Coloured with Photoshop 7.

The first of a series of images as part of a project I'm working on.

My characters Bors Fortinbras and his wife Sabine Blasendorf, dancing merrily to "The Whistler" by Jethro Tull. Sabine swings to the vibes, while her husband plays the flute in an Ian Anderson-esque manner. Bors is supposed to look like Glen Cornick, Tull's original bassist.

Inked and coloured in Photoshop 7.

Three new characters, from left to right:

Edmund Anthony Euler, a fennec.
Faya al-Azbakhan, a desert cottontail-lemur hybrid.
Hector Manuel Vega Sanchez, a bat-earred fox.

Jared Orkney, the big bad guy revealed.

As usual, I try to squeeze a little something thought provoking into my images. This one introduces the much hated symbol of the Initiate army, the sextant wreathed with wheat, reminiscent of the once universally feared Soviet Bloc. It's almost whimsy for Jared to have selected such an icon as his own, but in the long history of the despotic ruler, symbols have been used again and again. For example, the Eagle. Used by the Romans, then adopted by Napoleon Bonaparte, then adopted by the Nazis. Who's next to adopt an eagle for a national symbol? Who indeed?

My character Nick Stocker, a very big lion man, bouncer and barkeep of The SPot, a strip club where a few of my characters hang out. He's also a male stripper and that's what he's doing here... stripping.

This here is my character Travis Dalton... just posing I guess. He's Australian... myes... and an engineer/porn star.

The silver on his face is just facepaint, by the way.

Finished! St. John Cavanaugh, the sexy Brit, belting out his hard edged vocal stylings as he covers the Who song for which this image is named.

His style is sorta an amalgamation of Sam Roberts, Ed Roland, John Lennon, Liam Gallagher and Ian Anderson. Shaggy Brit rocker; hail the new furry British invasion!
