Year of the Rooster

This piece is my contribution to a project for the FC 2008 art show, with 11 other artists, of the 12 signs of the Chinese Zodiac.

Most of the artists were able to draw their own Zodiac sign, with only a few overlaps. I was born in the year of the Rooster - and my sign is the Metal Rooster.

So here is a Rooster in elegant Chinese robes, playing an erhu. All 12 signs of the zodiac will be displayed together on a panel at the FC artshow, so be sure to check it out if you are planning to attend.

Trying to Fit In

This is an illustration that I did for a story by Will Sanborn. In this scene, a male student finds himself at a school of Rrakith. Being the only human can make one feel ill at ease, but after an encounter in gym class, he begins to make a friend.

To find out more about the Rrakith, and other stories, check out these books!

Dragon Dance

A dragon dance through Chinatown, celebrating the Chinese New Year.

Acrylic paints on 20"x30"illustration board - the original painting will be at the Further Confusion 2008 art show.

This painting took approximately 120 hours to complete.

All of the characters depicted are my own original characters - several of them are recurring characters thoughout my artwork - including Cirrus the eastern blue dragoness, Candi the red panda, Antarctica the blue vixen, Echo the genet, Vienna the arctic roo, Kristania(Misty)the ringtail cat, and Ace the black jackal.

This is a fictional Chinatown - the building designs are my own creation - the gateway was inspired by the Chinatown gateway in London, however, and the entire piece was inspired by visiting San Francisco's Chinatown.

Saying Goodbye

Pandora and Springstep attend to the dying Karl.

This is an illustration for the conclusion of the Pandora and Karl stories by Bernard Doove - which you can read here: http://www.chakatsden.com/chakat/Stories/TOFC-14.html

I have had quite a history with these two characters, as I've been drawing them from the beginning - so this picture was very sad for me.

Hourglass Dolphin

Hourglass Dolphin, the orange and white seahorse, swims through a coral reef system...

Underwater scenes and aquariums are really one of my major hobbies - so I had a lot of fun with this one. Included in the background are: A porcupine puffer (yay!), a moray eel, a maroon clownfish, a tomato clownfish, a mandarin dragonet (another of my favorites), yellow polyps, maiden's hair algae, anemone and brain coral.

One of the most fun parts about painting undersea scenes is the exaggerated atmospheric perspective (how quickly things turn to blue receding in space)

Nikki's Halloween

Nikki the bat, out at night by the light of the full moon...

I figured with Halloween coming up, I'd do something special =). This is wallpaper sized (1024 x 769... okay, I was a pixel off) - and I tried to format it in such a way that it would look good as a desktop background... (provided that you don't have too many icons ^.^)

And it had been far too long since I'd drawn a bat.

Enjoy =D And Happy Halloween =) Enjoy candy night.

Dance of Five Tails

I considered inking this - but I decided to do the linework/definition in acrylics - that way I could choose the line color, as well. I think that worked out well.

Unrestrained

And now for something completely different...

I just put a song on repeat (in this case it was The Taste, by Five for Fighting) and let myself go. This was what happened.
