My parent's church (The Enfield, CT Congregationalist Church) has it's own mascot - a church mouse. The reason for this is because during one Easter sermon years and years ago, a little mouse ran down the aisle of the church, endearing itself to both the onlookers and the Reverand (although I'm sure there was probably a few surprised shrieks). The church is also pretty old, having been built in colonial times, hence the tri-corner hat. I did this as a gift to the Reverand who adopted the mouse as the church mascot.\r\n\r\n11x14 graphite

What happens when a coyote steals a jackalope's antlers - you get a master trickster... a coyotalope.

Coyote - Ten Of Diamonds, for the Bestiary: The Shuffling project - http://www.livejournal.com/community/bestiarycards/\r\n\r\nRoughly 8x13 acrylics and color pencil

Practicing with acrylics some more. This is from a photograph in the book "World of the Coyote." The whiskers came out clumsy, I should have done them with pencil.\r\n\r\nImage roughly 5in x 3in.

For the National Dinosaur Museum in Canberra, Australia\r\n\r\nCryolophosaurus was a 20 ft long theropod that lived in Antarctica. Although the continent was higher up and warmer back then, it still was in the arctic circle, and most likely had snowy winters. I couldn't stop myself from giving him fuzzy feet, although it's just artistic speculation.\r\n\r\nimage roughly 11x14 acrylics

He says "Rar."

Still playing around with the design of this guy. He looks a bit too bipedal in this one (he's supposed to be both bipedal and quadrupedal). Ah well.

I really need to find a cheaper and easier food supply for Xuriahl. The smell is starting to over take the house, and I think the neighbors are getting suspicious....\r\n\r\nAlternative description - \r\n\r\nNew and improved Demon Chow, now with more intestines!\r\n\r\nLittle graphite drawing from my sketchbook.

Thought this was appropriate to post after fate led me here to VCL. It's pretty self - explanatory.

BUNNEH!

"...Dames"

I don't know if this Deinonychus antirrhopus is actually dancing, but he could be. This took me way too long, and I'm glad I'm finally finished.\r\n\r\nRoughly 13x16, acrylic paints.\r\n\r\nDetail shot: http://kyoht.com/archive/DanceToTheSunDetail.jpg

For the Kennel Club project. He's a harlequin dane with unclipped ears, going along a dog carting theme.\r\n\r\nThe Kennel Club - http://thekennelclub.livejournal.com/

Really fast painting thing.\r\n\r\nAcrylics

A happy deinonychus.

Acrylics and I haven't spoken to each other in over a decade. I think we're back on speaking terms now. It ain't perfect... but I think it's pretty good for my first acrylic painting in 12 years.\r\n\r\nImage is about 5in x 3in

I made a raptor tutorial\r\n\r\nhttp://kyoht.com/Info/RaptorHowTo/index.html

Continuing with a series of silly dino images I had started a while ago.\r\n\r\nDeinonychus went through a lot of socks.\r\n\r\nacrylics and color pencil.

Indeed.

Art for this coming Midwest Furfest conbook. Their theme this year is a "who done it" mystery type thing. I chose a donkey because my hubby loves them. \r\n\r\ngraphite.

*girlie scream*\r\n\r\nWHAPWHAPWHAPWHAPWHAP\r\n\r\n*snarl*\r\n\r\nOMNOMNOMNOMNOM!\r\n\r\n\r\nNow for the not so interesting part of the description - \r\n\r\nSketiirs are kinda like a cross between a tiger and a dinosaur. They evolved to act as a pack, jump onto the big herd animals of the Gnarr, latch on and bleed them out - resulting in dinner. The Yashiir came along and domesticated the larger herd animals, and now use them to traverse the Gnarr. Predators are ever opportunistic, and so the sketiirs now much prefer to act alone, and pick off unsuspecting Yashiir riders whenever possible. Easy meal, yumyumyum!

9x12 acrylic painting of Velociraptor mongoliensis. Wheee.
