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

Well darnit. I got re-addicted to Pern MU*s.

This is for Anatoly (aka: Jeshala) on 5th Pass MU* of her bronze dragon, Saludith.

I was in a dragon-drawing mood.

I'm practicing drawing people again. It's something I miss.

Doodled up Melsa - a character of mine from various RPs n' stuff. The linework took about 3-5 minutes.

Liz Carlson aka Aureath/Skade is a good friend of mine. She layed some colors on in about 10 minutes.

Yay for collabs.

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.

Late night linework.

Doodle that I did watching tv. Nothing big. Lot of errors, but I did it because I wanted to play with expressions.

Image of Greed talking to Tigereye. Probably about something she doesn't care to hear about.

Thank you to Bagheera and Bander for helping me decide on a BG! Thank you Kei for being willing to color this. (Will post the color version when she gets it done)

Image is basically of Greed (FMA inspired, yes) sneaking or stumbling into the Girl's Locker Room somewhere.. much to Tigereye's shock. Somehow I doubt she'd be amused by him clapping in the background. (Yes I'm aware it looks like Greed is floating. It's due to the lack of shadow/color to weigh the figure down.) Anyway. Next panel would be completely be Tig' tossing a hairdrier or something his way.

If I didn't like ya' Jer'.. I totally would not have attempted this. Ha.

Anyway. Part of an art trade I did with Jeremy Bernal. What a sweety. I really love Miami's design (despite my lack of experience in drawing skunks). Bernal challenged me, forcing me to get out of my comfort zone of canines and really experiment (not to mention use cool grays as a base).

Struggled a lot, and totally copped out on the BG... Enjoy Bernal :D

This is something I worked on during my free time for the 5th grade Art Club. I was making a simple design and scratched it out on scratchboard...With a rounded toothpick (blah).

Anyway. The symbol is something I'm going to refine. Really like it and it's going to be incorporated in my upcoming series of drawings. - Yes. It has FMA inspirations .. I like the idea of the oborous (the linked snake).

This is FullMetal themed Envy done up Anthro-like. A fox fit Envy best...slightly effeminate, sleek, sly, clever... But I did NOT want a red/normal coloring. An off white seemed best.. As dark would imply something sinister, and Envy in the series seems more confused/lost... A color devoid of color (white) fit him best as he's not deserving of an actual color for various reasons. Dunno. I like it.

I like the linework. The BG is weak. I know that. But I was sick of looking at it.

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.

Drew Tigereye up in a State Alchemist uniform from FullMetal Alchemist for RP purposes. Fun stuff.

Might draw her transmuting sand into glass spike towers and the like.. (IE : Sand = Glass ) Eh. I've issues with the coloring.. But personally I like the anatomy n' face in this image.. Named her "The Glass Alchemist" ...although it isn't as snazzy as some other State Alchemist names I know. Anyway.
On her lapel is a pin that is the alchemic symbol of "Earth"

The coloring job was a tad rushed but eh. At least I finished it. The background symbol is from the Show itself.. Information provided by animeindepth.com

Finished my version of Lust. Honestly. Out of every suggestion I had from vixen to bunny... I seriously couldn't see her any otherway as a siamese cat... Dunno why. Maybe it's the claws and aloof attitude.

Anyway. More FullMetal Alchemist inspired anthros... This was just another playing around with coloring. Nothing big.

When I first started doing FullMetal Alchemist sins anthro-ized.. Gluttony was actually my first inspired piece. I'm not sure why, but he struck me as a crocodile. So I did him as a crocodile.

I used reference for the body type/costume and namely the shoulder-connection from here: http://www.sonymusic.co.jp/Animation/hagaren/chara/gluttony01.jpg I was lucky that it showed where his symbol was (and I wanted to reflect that in the croc-version too.) Anyway. The coloring again is more or less just me testing the waters.

Finally done with my graduation work. Decided to color the doodle I did.

The image is highly inspired by "Full Metal Alchemist"'s Greed. He's my favorite character and I was wanting to design some characters based/inspired by FMA.

Greed was my first experiement. Decided to select a junkyard mutt for Greed's anthro-form. (More precisely a Doberman/German Shepard mix). While it is inspired by FMA, the character design is still mine. (Since FMA's Greed is not a dog :P )

Once again thank you to Liz for puttin' the copyright notice up. :D Yay Liz.

Anyway. I decided to upload this image of the sculpture because you can see the glitter-heart ..another accessory to the piece.. between her paws. I liked how this photo came out.. Better lighting and clarity in my opinion.

Just another sculptural image of the kitsune Kanashimi, Sutra's fraternal twin sister.

Can you see my dalmatian in the background? :)

I need to first and foremost thank Liz Carlson aka Skade, for making the collage. I was unable to do so due to software problems.

Anyway. I will be uploading a second collage of this sculpture with additional photos sometime soon. The collage is of Sutra's fraternal twin, Kanashimi, owned by Jenna DaQuanno / KatanaWolf.

The sculpture is nearly 8-10" long and about 3-4" high. Base coat in pearl white with accents of ice blue. Floral ribbon in baby blue along with clamp beads, wire and blue freshwater pearl make up her "kitsune ball necklace".

One of my first sculptures and first actually completed sculptures.
Additional pictures coming soon.

Part 8 of an on going Gift-Icon spree.

I don't know where to begin when it comes to HuskyKei of DA. I met Kei a couple years ago, I suppose.. the years blurr together. We've both love MLPs and she is a terrific artist. (and again, who doesn't love gold/cream dogs. HA! )
She's an amazing artist, and an amazing friend. She does -WAY- too much for other people, and this is just a little thank you for it all.

If you're unfamiliar with the artist, Shayde of DA, I encourage you to get familiar with her. She's an outstanding artist, and while I've not known her long as a friend, what I do know of her is she has a great big heart -- and is just tons of fun to get to know. :) She's a sweetie.
Enjoy!

I apologize, first and foremost. Cats are hard. I suck at cats... Never the less, for you VC, I tried to tackle doing your character just for you! :)
VisionCrafter of DA is truly a wonderful person. She's another artist who is EXTREMELY talented and beyond sweet. She's a pleasure to know and inspiration to see.

I would be a most horrible person if I did not do one for Wicked Sairah of DA ...First of all, go visit her art. Truly her sculptures are beyond phenominal. She has such a wonderful talent and has no qualms in sharing her tips/abilities with lame people that can't sculpt (me me me me me c_c ) ..
Not only that, like many people I come to know, she's another that's truly a darling. I picked out her male fennec fox character as a gift image :)

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.
