I can see the flaws myself.. you don't need to tell me.

Damnit, it was so promising to begin with. I might still colour it though.

Arctik the half-feral ice feline, in a rare nekkid pose. I'm pondering colouring this and also making a clothed version.
Pose reference from deviantART. It was interesting changing a normal leg pose into something that works for my style of digitigrade legs ^^

Aryiah is one of those artists who is a sheer delight to talk to. While still having a way to go, she has shown clear improvement in the way she works and takes critique honestly. She's not overly-modest like some artists (*blush*) and she draws gift art (http://www.deviantart.com/view/28226388/) for no other reason than because she wants to. It's so nice to meet someone so genuine that I just had to return the favour.

Kuronekotenshi is running a contest for people to draw her Jack Russel character Basiil over on FurAffinity. I probably didn't do a great job, but I felt like entering for no apparent reason so here he is.

So today (17th) is Becs birthday, tomorrow is Caboodles, and the 30th is Ngarewyrd and Jaffa's birthdays. So because I'm a combination of lazy and impulsively creative, I drew them a combined birthday gift!
Wyrd the green dragon, Becs the panther, Caboodles the... er okay I'm not sure -what- she is, and Jaffa is the thing underneath the couch.

Calypso Myst, my furcadian pet alt. had some fun earlier this week in 'The Pink Pussy' where she danced on stage for a bunch of furres and her master. I was in an artistic mood the next day and drew this up as a result =)
My hair drawing sucks majorly.

So after I made my picture of Oboroten for my Second Life profile, half my friends asked for one. XD I drew this one simply because she's a close friend of mine, and had to revise it twice, which I admit made me a little cranky about gift arts.
I'm uploading this before she gives her 'official' approval, but since I've fixed everything she asked me to, I should be good.

(Random question, when I draw Second Life avatars, should I consider putting the pic next to a screencap of the real av so you can see the resemblance?)

So it's not her birthday for a couple more days.. but I finished this early and I love it too much to sit on it.
A birthday gift for my housemate, and the best girl ever, Dimruthien VerenLaulaja.

Drawn for a competition over at FurAffinity. The task was to draw your character as someone from your favourite computer game. And nothing has me playing longer than Ratchet and Clank, so here's my fursona MistyStriker and my boyfriend Bingo as Ratchet and Clank. Design is from the original game.

The rest is too complicated to try and explain, I'm sure.

I got a rabbit-unicorn hybrid for this months Furry Art eXchange and I went a little mad with spirally stuff and coins and chain-link slave bracelets. But it was fun. And she looks purty. It was also my first experiment with framing.

Strangely enough, I doodled this over the weekend while at the *brisvegas devmeet, then inked it the day after while at a friend's house. And I really really love it.
Damn he's sexy.

A commission for Jorem of his dingo fursona. I grabbed the pose reference from a Vallejo/Bell book and decided to 'paint' in the waves using a sneaky Photoshop method. The only thing that was a filtered photo was the surfboard because I got lazy , the waves were actually done manually.

Part 2 of a commission for Jorem Dingo, a basic usericon. I drew this straight onto the comp in Photoshop.

My half of a conbadge trade with the great and talented Korrok the Green Hyena. Wharr that green was interesting to shade! XD
The text actually looks better in real life. Resizing took away the detail, as usual.

Inked commission for Marupa of his winged snow leopard character Kurin and his Mtezeko fursona Marupa. Marupa does have a pupil, it's just in his fringe, as he's looking up and straight ahead.

Done completely in Photoshop CS2.

Well without too much drama I managed to ink this. I'm still scared of real media inking because my paws shake so I always ink on a copy of the real thing (Thanks for the idea Jaffa). I'm not sure what to do about varying line weight.. where should it be?

Referenced from artwork by Boris Vallejo, it's MistyStriker in snazzy jeans and a leather jacket. I'm pondering colouring this for my next dA ID seeing as I'll have to make a new one soon. It'll probably look better coloured too.

I spent at least an hour and a half trying to figure out the right effect for the 'magic' coming from her paw. I finally have something decent.. and of course I couldn't figure out what to do for a background so I just fiddled with brushes to come up with something simplistic.

The new Misty seems to have pounced Narc and pinned him, but it doesn't look like he minds much ;)
I was working on this pic at the same time as I was creating her colour and markings scheme so it was a great help.

After six years as MistyStriker, and almost two years with this current design, I've finally made a character sheet for my fursona!

*GASP!*

Anywho, here it is. Nothing special.
It's a large file because compression messes with colours and I wanted to keep this as accurate as I could.

The lineart for MistyRaptor! I'm slightly getting better at using a real pen for inking instead of Photoshop.

I don't dance, my body is moved by the music.
I don't listen, I absorb the beat.

I am a raver.
This is my melody.

An experiment with non-anthro/anthro. I had to use a reference for the non-anthro Narcwolf and the pose Misty has.
I was too lazy to shade it. But I like it anyway, so I might shade it later.
