I seem to be on a black-and-white kick lately.

Here's an old pic from way back in my high school days, which would be at least three years ago. God, that feels ancient, doesn't it? Anyway, I would have liked it to be bigger, but I lost the original, and I had to scan a smaller print that I had. Oh well.

A twisted look at a fencing match between two mice, only seconds before the red-clad mouse's fall into oblivion. ;P

Reveal thyself!

A con badge for my brother, for his character, Fox Lemonte

A logotype for a made up company which does nothing.

Yay! It's done! It's finally done!
It's a commission of fruit bats…get it? They're fruits! And they're bats! And they're…oh, forget it.

Retouched and re-uploaded. Full-body portrait.

Gilmore Lion Badge

A long-awaited badge for Gilmore Lion. He asked for this thing a year ago…sorry it took so long! Love ya, Gilmore!

Teh Yurf Buhg. Gryllus. This one's been due for quite some time. Still experimenting with new styles and techniques.

Finally finished!

A con badge for AnimeCat, for her character, Hellcat.

Just a bit of nonsense I felt like putting to paper...

I think I ought to be killed. But this isn't the first time I've said that...

Head in the deep freezer. My response to the latest heat wave that Iowa's been suffering. And having been born and raised in Minnesota, I'm inclined to do this anyway at any given moment. It's so refreshing! Weird, but refreshing!

Another one...

No he's not.

A gift for a couple of buds. Neckchewing!

Kenket the raven, for the Yerf trading post.
"Scissors...that cut through bone?"
"Uh, yes...they're magic scissors."

I hate the Dell dude. I hate Dell's products. I love my wholesale frankenstein computer. Leave me alone! Or I'll send my hired ogre after you!

Finished commission of a balancing skunk.

Kobi and Sixpaws

Sixy and Kobi share a beautiful moment as Kobi proves that he is quite capable of giving Sixy all the attention shi needs.

This is my conbadge from Mephit Furmeet 2006.

A new model sheet for 2006. I'm trying for a leaner, sexier, more foxlike look this time.

Reuploaded. It's me, with two heads. Both smiling, but for different reasons. Added a shadow, new copyright banner, new signature. I guess you could say this depicts my two sides: my shy side, and my…uh…not-so-shy side. Notice the shy one has the eyebrow ring.

Here's a drawing of my boyfriend (yes, I said boyfriend), Threetails and me, embracing in a moment of mindless, innnocent bliss, rendered with sickening Disneyish cuteness! Enjoy!

Me and Royce (IRC) in yuppie gear enjoying an espresso. Trying out a new inking style.

Color version of kobi_and_royce_2.jpg. I can't decide which one I like better!

As well as being a graphic artist, I'm also a musician. Specifically, a vocalist and keyboardist. As you can see here, I've modeled my look after one of my big influences, the Doors' Jim Morrison. Before Jim, I was convinced that there were no rock vocalists in my vocal range that I could look up to. One VH1 documentary later, my view completely changed!

My first upload; And naturally as a newly arriving vulpine resident, I consider myself personally obligated to properly introduce myself (doesn't that convolluted aristocratic language just make you want to retch?). My name is LaCroix, Kobi LaCroix. Here is a portrait of me, adapted from an algebra notebook doodle (and they said it couldn't be done!...Okay, maybe I did a little bit of photoshopping, but if you've got the tools...).
