A waaaaay over long due commission done for WailingWolf of DA

I've had the linework done for months, and it's been in a very odd situation between losing some of my art files and just becoming a perfectionist when trying to color or do an image. I do hope it was worth the wait Graelin. Thank you again. :)

Casidhe is his artic-fox character. He wanted her playfully having a fun time at the beach. Yay. :)

Because I'm starting to feel like I'll never finish her. Doodled her in work a while ago.

Paperdoll commission done for WolfWind of DA of her boyfriend's character - a feline with an interesting medical anomaly that's reflexed from RL I'm told. Sternum caves in and/or is lacking.

Bitten by the dragon bug, I did a sketch-trade with Liz "Skade" Carlson ( Aureath on DA )

She drew my golden Wraith, and I drew her bronze Gypseth.
She, like myself, is on 5th Pass MU*

Media: Tablet + Photoshop Elements
Time: 20-25 minutes

Another Pernese Dragon for someone off of 5th Pass MU*

This one was for D'man and his dragon Olgaleth. I took some artistic liberties with his dragon and added the spotting.

Media: Tablet + Photoshop Elements
Time: 15 minutes

A little belated 'Happy Valentines' gift for my boyfriend, Tyler. I really just sorta rushed it, as it was a way to play around with a 'stupid cute' idea. It was something I hammered out in about 3 hours.

Nall's character is a little lop gray rabbit, and I used my little maned wolf, Miloki. Yay Lisa Frank pallet.

Happy Valentines Tyler.

A pure experimentation in color. The lines were pencil and -NOT- digitally inked. That's just graphite.

I played with new ways to do a bit of color, as well as to how color can be applied in Elements to pencil lines.

There are both good n' bad things to the image. It's also a 'decent' image of Sutra, since I had been requested to get some refs up of her.

A rather quick sketch I did for Dwelian of DA.
It's of Ezili and Baron. Ezili being my loa-inspired little mare and Baron, being a collaborative effort on our part to come up with another voodoo-pantheon character (based on Baron Samedi)

Just a teaser image. I've a full image of Baron in the works, along with more images of Ezili.

Time: 15 minutes.
Materials: Blue Lead + Mechanical Pencil.

This was another image I had figured I'd upload since I don't know when or if I'd color it. One thing that's always fun to do is the child-versions of characters.

Well decided to draw Kanashimi (Jenna's character) and her twin Sutra (my character) when they were little. We figured since Sutra was the more aggressive of the twins, she'd probably choose to be a pirate (from that age old question what would you be when you grow up) Of course Kanashimi isn't exactly amused by the prospect of being shark bait (who is named Mr.Squeaky.)

Anyway. It was goofy image. Yay.

Walk the plank.

Well this is actually fairly old. I didn't want to upload it initially (yet) until I colored it. However, with my lackluster want to color, not entirely sure when that'll be.

Anyway, we had a get together with CandyPalmer (of DA), her boy Fred, my boyfriend Tyler, and myself.. We played Mario Party. I drew our characters blended with the characters we played most on Mario Party.

Yay.

I did this for Scappo at Midwest FurFest 06. He was kind enough to scan it for me.

I'm tempted to color it. I may. It's of his bounty hunter character, Tsenaya, who is a blue jackal. Seems like a nifty character.

The image I did way back a few months ago. However, with my computer program I had been using 900 miles away, I'm not coloring it until I get it back.

Never the less, I felt like uploading something for 'Talk like a Pirate' day... What better than an image or two of my pirate Thylacine character, Mad Mina ...and Pickles. The eye-patched kiwi bird.

This image of Mina has her just sitting in a night-gown of sorts. Mina may not be a big morning person, but Pickles is. Hence his doughnut. Just a doodle to show off a thylacine's GREAT BIG YAWN. Yarg maties.


I'll color this later.

Yes. I do realize that thylacine pouches face down. The explaination of it facing upright like this is she's had ..gasp... cosmetic surgery. YES! Ahoy. Afterall, Pickles needs a place to perch.


I'll color this later.

Really old sketch I found on my hard-drive of a little pony character I designed up for just giggles.

Beth is a little Polo Pony. Yay. Shame the hammer is -really- wonky. (didn't use any straight edges :P )

It's an image I did for a gift/laugh for Wicked Sairah since she's a darling and I adore her. Eh. It was a bit of a silly thing. Her Tasmanian Devil character, Roscoe, is trying to get all romantical (ha ha. not a word) with Mina. Mina was created for Wicked's Roscoe's crew. She's a Navigator type. There are a TON of anatomy issues. But I dig the expressions.

I did this ages ago when my first images of Lucia were done.

Lucia is a Tervuren Belgium.. Love the breed. In this image.. we can see my major faults in giving her a WAY long neck. Oh yes.

Anyway. Since I have no plans in coloring it, it will be uploaded finally.

Ha. Facing the music. I will -not- finish this. I'm too lazy about coloring for that.

I did this a very long time ago in October of 2006. I just wanted to play with the character again, but never fleshed it beyond a sketch. Character is of my (literally) maned wolf character, Tiegan

Since this has been sitting on my computer waiting to be colored for over a month, I've decided to upload the lines.

This is a WIP for an art trade (no I'm not accepting) for DA's Ox-Of-Ice who is truly an outstanding person, and a wonderful artist.

It's of her character Caline on the front of a beach. Not to brag, but I like how I did Caline in a whole. .especially her hair :3

Time: I forget ... an hour? (includes sketches n' final)
Media: Non-Photo Blue Pencil, and regular mechanical pencil.

Providing I actually get the stupid printer to work, this will be a badge for Redkam. Redkam, aka Gabby, has always gone out of her way for Ty n' I. This is just a little something small for her since we'll be both hitting up the Pony Con.

Image is of her summer wing MLP character, Cardinal Melody. Enjoy Gabby! :D

I don't claim this to be perfect. Far from it. I'm not that adverse in drawing 'anime' style. So what happens are my attempts blend anime with my style, and it's ...something. Not entirely sure as to what.

I'm running a project regarding Full Metal Alchemist.

My homonuculus original character is the virtue (corrupted) Charity. She's in the rough stages and is bound to evolve. I based her loosely on my character Tigereye. As with the sins having matching eye colors, all virtues shall have matching eyecolors as well. Incase it's not seen well, the color is magenta/pink.

I've a REALLY difficult time breaking down things into simple forms/colors like cel-shading requires. This was an attempt to just do that and play around with a limited pallet. While I think I got the gist of it, there's a lot more that I could do to better myself.

It's just a simple stupid-cute image of Lunix (black dragon type) with a cheesy/half done background. Yay cheapness.

Image Timed - About 5 minutes to sketch, and 10 minutes to pencil. Roughly an hour or so to color. (stupid cel shading :/ )

Once more I'm looking to play with new techniques on coloring... Once more trying a hand at gradient shading. It's partially gradient shadin'.. n' me floundering a bit.

The image is just a concept image for a future image I'm working on... After much debate and suggestions.. She is blandly named Rose.

A surprise gift commission for Katanawolf on DA

Her husband, Matt, wanted to do a paperdoll up as an 'I love you' gift to Jenna of one of her characters.

Copper is a dancer - leopard, kitsune tailed, phoenix marked character. Interesting enough to draw.


Enjoy Jenna! Thank you Matt :)

Well I'm trying my hand in the Art Gallery. I've yet to be actually accepted into the Gallery, but here's hoping I'll make it through.

I did a submission for the upcoming Ixi Day that's coming up soon. There's a game on the site called "Potato Counter", in which you count potatoes for NP. Carrots don't count, though.

Fondly named these guys Sam, Joe, and Fred. Here's hopin' I get in this time. :D

I based this on my own dog. I've a Dalmatian. (No. It is NOT Dalmation ... 'a' not 'o') She's 12 and she's still my baby-pup.

I decided to write a bit of information. I plan on making a full series of Dalmatian-Spots... Many don't realize that Dalmatians come in over 10 colors. They're rare, but very possible. The first in my series belongs to my own dog, Pepper. She's a brown eyed, unpatched b/w female.

Fear my geekness.

One of my kids at the Elementary suggested the name 'Night Moon' for a character. I found it rather charming so I set out to create a character inspired by the name given to me. :)

So yea. Random wolf. Dunno. It's laaaaame but it was fun to do. Yay flat colors.
