Quiet Contemplation

Lorelei, my werefox character from my webcomic Black Tapestries. She's enjoying a quiet moment in the mountains.

Photoshop CS2 ~8hours

I can't really think of a snazzy title for this, other than maybe something about Lorelei bitching to the gods. "Woman's Wrath" maybe.

Anyway, this is the August pic for that 2005 BT Calendar that is slowing consuming all my galleries.

FYI, this character is Lorelei the Drifter from my comic Black Tapestries: http://www.blacktapestries.com
She's an immortal werefox that hates her life. Tee hee.

This is October for the 2005 Black Tapestries Calendar. Whew, been working on this one for over a year. Had to rush the end though, so I'm not too happy with the sloppiness of it.

Wanna know comic what this is from? http://www.blacktapestries.com

This is just the cover for BT's #13 issue. In this one Lorelei was recently changed into a snakelike demon, and the demon stole her fox form. Anyway, this is a larger version than the one that actually appears on the comic, which you can read here: http://www.blacktapestries.com

I'm not really happy with the way this one turned out. It was very much rushed, as I -had- to get it done before I left for vacation. So it doesn't have the detail and such that I like to put into my covers. The fur was cheaply done but it doesn't look too terrible bad. I spent hours and hours painting in Lore's individual scales, and they ended up looking like a filter made them. Next time, I'll save myself the time and just use a damn filter :P Maybe one day I'll go back and fix it.

As what has become tradition, every year a paint a picture of myself (Ze Brown Woofie) showing my affection for my mate (Ze Black Wolf). In other words, this is his B'Day Present, albeit belated. I wuv you matemate

Ahem, it was painted in PS 7, no filters were abused in this image. And yes, shrinking it made it lose a lot of details I meticulously painted in.

This is the cover for Black Tapestries Issue #11 - Absolute Corruption. Lorelei's so cute when she's showing off her EVILNESS MWAHAHA *Cough* yeah.

Yay, off topicy goodness. This is the cover of BT Issue #12. It's kinda on topic cuz, well, Lorelei there, she's a werefox.

"Morning Trek"

This is my latest RP character in Kaerwyn (kaerwyn.com). Her name is Desert Rose and she's from the Shakarian race of shapeshifters. They loathe technology and strive for the way of life and follows and reveres nature as if it's their god.
Needless to say, she's a dissenter, prefering technology to nature. Though even Rose finds herself out on the morning trek to recover what she's lost.

Okay so, if you read "The Realm of Kaerwyn" (http://comic.kaerwyn.com) You know that Tessemer is one of the main chars. Well in the public Kaerwyn, (Which is much different than the storylines of the comic), Sisari, this real bad dragon, has a thing for werewolves. See some people like cats, and other people like poodles, but she likes well trained, people-slaughtering werewolves. She's changed the entire town into werewolves, so why not Tess? So in went the wolf demon to possess him.

But the wolf demon chose a form like no other. He's furless over most of his body. I was inspired. I wish I could have spent more time working on it, it's got some anatomical errors and such that I'm not happy with. Infact, the thing I like the most is the cheap-ass pinetree backdrop.

Might make this a Kaerwyn RP character, dunno (cheap plug http://www.kaerwyn.com). She's the princess of Makalu, which is actually the name of a mountain in the Himalayas... which is the native territory of Snow Leopards.

It was done completely in PS, from start to finish. It's all brushwork folks. I don't really like the way the mountains came out, they look cheapy-fake. Oh well.

My bandwagon is a Camaro.

Woof.

Photoshop doodle. It's Lore, yay! I'm obsessed, so sue me.

February for the BT Calendar. Lore, her horse Dakotah, and her dog (who will make his appearence soon) brave the harsh winters of Raekarta.

April for the BT/Shifters Calendar. Lorelei sits on a cliff or something doing what she does best, brooding over something.

"August" for the BT/Shifters Calendar. Lorelei pokes her reflection in the water while lazily hanging out on a rock.

Lorelei of Black Tapestries (Cheap plug http://www.blacktapestries.com) When she's not running away from the Order, or shifting against her will, she pauses for a moment to play her fiddle. This is "October" for the BT/Shifters Calendar.

My cute little comic character Lorelei... aaahh, isn't she cute. Oh here, have a cheap plug: http://blacktapestries.keenspace.com

This is J`khal, my drakkolupen character from Kaerwyn (cheap plug http://www.kaerwyn.com). She's the leader of the Kaerwyn dragons. Here she ponders her next "act". I originally used this BG on another drawing, but it fit in so well for J`khal that I just /had/ to use it. The advantages of computer created art :)

Damn, I think I broke my character. She's all... wendigolike... ewps.

Decided to have a little fun with that buff female. This turned into a comic for WereNet.

Got me onna them anatomy reference books fer mah comic. I could definately use the practice on the female anatomy... despite the fact that I'm female. This was just a crude sketch, but I thought "what the hell" and colored it on PS.

This is one of my RP characters on Kaerwyn's RP channel (cheap plug: http://www.were.net/realm irc.rpgworlds.com #kaerwyn) She's a DrakkoLupen, and the leader of the Etheric Kaerwyn Dragons... which are currently having a civil war. Oh well. I started this picture several months ago, but I never got a chance to finish it... til now.

Hey it's that fox chick again... Yes, another character sketch for the comic. Lucky for Lore, she can shift on the fly, much like my Chevy Silverado.. heh. Erm, yeah, this is her in a fight or something, mid-shift. Gotta love oversized ears.

Another 800x600 sized wallpaper for Black Tapestries. Once again Tessemer, Lorelei's mate, is in this one, where he will not be in the comic itself (at least, he won't be the same as the RP sessions...) Anyway, it's a PS pic, and I cheated, the water was filter-made. Everything else is airbrushed.

This is a wallpaper I created for my comic (Black Tapestries) out of the blue (was bored and needed a break from commissions). Feel free to use it if you like it. I have a 1024x768 version as well, just email me if you'd like that one (Jakkal@shifters.org)

This is one of those times where you draw a really cool BG, but don't know what to put /on/ it. Well I figured a coyote would be best. I used a photograph as a reference and airbrushed in the markings to give it an oil painting feel to it.

This was a commission from a friend of mine from WereNet's IRC server. He asked for a picture of a wolf/snowleopard mix sitting in a corner looking "small". Yet another Photoshop Painting

This is my half of a pic trade with my good friend Yelth (http://www.were.net/~rrb). It originally didn't have a background, and at the same time, didn't look right. I tossed in the BG from the Werewolf Link picture and I think it suits it well.
