Wolf557 Trade

My half of a trade with Wolf557. It might be too dark for some of your monitors...if it is, PLEASE let me know. I will adjust it if the majority can't see this. It didnt quite come out with the atmosphere I had imagined, but its close enough that I still like it. Water is tough!

Man I've uploaded alot of art in the last couple days.

My Calendar Image! Alternate title: Snack Time

The calendars are available for pre-order! See the website for more info!

I'm aware that the tongue is...hard to tell its a tongue. But there really isn't an easy way to make it look tonguish.

"Living in the city can be difficult for werewolves, as they prefer quiet, open spaces rather than the small flats and crowded streets of cities. They may stay in urbanized areas for different reasons: some have a regular human life, a job and friends. Due to all of the advantages of living near a city, there is alot of competition over urban areas. Werewolves claiming city territory are typically large and tough, and often have to defend their homes and family from intruders. "

New World

I did an ACEO trade with Bloodhound Omega a year ago...and the card got lost in the mail. So, she let me take a whole year to make it up...so I did a full painting. I hope you like it! I don't know much about the story behind her bloodhounds...but I think that the setting may be appropriate.

I've been DIEING to do a starry sky! And after several months of trying to find a new fur method...I've found it. Tada.

An early progress shot can be seen on my livejournal.

Carnivale

So, its supposed to be like, all things Venice. Saint Mark's lion (winged lion) is a symbol of the city, and the mask for the carnival, and the violin for the music.

This was done for the free-topic part of the TRR contest. It is slightly different, in that I sent the unfinished version, barely making the deadline by 2 minutes. I am still not happy with it, I wanted to do a whole ton of detail on the mask, but, I've been killing myself to get this done. Since this is just about all I got to put on the contest entry, I didn't add much more.

To violinists: I'm sorry! I'm a musician, but I only took half a semester of violin, so whatever mistakes I made, SORRY! I'd like to see you draw a tuba.

Orfeus

When I met my current boyfriend, back before we were together, we decided to do a music/art trade...he composed a tuba solo for me. As I asked him more and more specifically what he wanted for this, it turned from just an image into a story.

Orfeus is a weapon summoner, and the last of his kind. He uses his few different weapons by cutting himself on the tattoo with the knife on his belt, and the combination of blood and the magic of the tattoes summons the weapons. A long time ago, Orfeus was decieved, and thrown into the underworld. When he escaped, he broke the seal and let out thousands of fiends, which he now devotes his time to sending back.

Celyddon Commission

A commission for http://www.furaffinity.net/user/celyddon/ of herself, Celyddon! This was a challenge as I don't often do avians. I'm pretty happy with the harp though :). Celyddon is an alum from the school I go to, with a major in music just like me!

Myenia Reference Sheet

Edit:WOOPS! Yea thats supposed to say 4'11", not 4'1".

I was way overdue for a character sheet, so here it is.

I did not do fur detail...this is what my art looks like the step before I finish up with fur. It was just too much effort for something that would be so small.

Yay for 2 characters in one.

If you are doing a trade with me...I prefer you do her as a werewolf...less details to misunderstand.

RedrumWolf Trade

For a trade with the talented RedrumWolf! She asked for her character Cherianey to be portrayed as more feral, and my brian jumped to were-husky! So, I guess the collar-off symbolizes freedom. Or something. I really hope you like it!

The scan was terrible, because I was at kinkos and I was hurrying...so the top half is way too bright and the bottom too dark, and there are a few lines from pasting the scans together. If I ever get to kinkos again, I will rescan.

Wolf Soul

Background is not a photo...heres a closeup at 50% http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v689/myenia/cluseup.jpg
I made this to be a background for my computer.

The background is referenced from a photo my mother took. Thank you God for controlled scribble. The image is shown at 11%...the original is...way to big to comprehend. This had to take well over 50 hours, I've been doing it on and off for 2 months. I still really don't like how flat the rocks in the foreground look, but I've already decided I'm done with this. Other than that, I'm REALLY happy with it!

Feel free to use it as your wallpaper too...but please don't do anything I wouldn't be ok with because this has got to be my most difficult and involved work so far. Thanks!

February

For an upcoming calendar project that Zakka and I are organizing.

It will resemble wildlife calendars sold featuring animal photographs. Watch either of our journals, they will become available for order in October! The other artists involved are Yellow-eyes, Sthenno, Coyox, and Rayndancer.

"During mating season in the winter, werewolves will spend even more time with their mate than usual. Werewolves are very affectionate, and will often choose this time of the year for vacation, often to national parks for camping. At home during the winter, the male will become increasingly protective of the female, and will display subordinate body language and behaviour to her. Female werewolves do not go into heat, like their wolf relatives. The two will become practically inseparable.”

Hyena Matriarch

I've been trying to do something other than wolves for a while, but I haven't had the motivation to finish anything. I like wolves!

I like hyenas too...I was watching 'Growing Up Hyena' on animal planet and they were sooooo cute! Hyenas are matriarchal, so I decided to go with that and do the matriarch/alpha/whatever they're called.

Korbachi Tral and Treas

A commission for a game being developed by SquareAtom, of two different canine anthro species. The Korbachi tral have a haughty sense of a pride and often appear smug. They should look more refined than bestial, though they should still look dangerous. The Korbachi treas appear more wolfish than their cousins the Trals, which is mainly reflected in the appendages and extremities. Their hands look more like paws, and the actual “foot” is extremely similar to a wolf’s paw.

I really wanted to make his eyes bluish green to opposite the orange-red background, but wolves have yellow eyes. I bent the rules as far as I would let myself.

Morning Storm

My half of a trade with the talented Lyanti! I had alot of fun doing this, I love playing around with lighting effects and I'm very happy with how the eyes turned out. I'm sorry I didn't put any jewelry on her, I didn't even realize it until just as I was finishing up. I hope you like it!

ps: vcl made me use their compression, so this probably looks shitty. You can see it properly at deviantart.

Jeffrey Matter Commission

Commission for Jeffrey Matter of his fursona.

Mira Commission

commission for Mira!

She asked for an african wild dog similar to my "Hyena Matriarch." I think I might have said blue jewelry, so if you'd prefer I change it, let me know. I hope you like it!

I tried a new method of fur on this, so feedback on whether its a change for the good or not is greatly appreciated.

The Guide

The alpha of the Luhkazti pack will often barter with raptors, who see and know everything.

This took about 45 hours, and I started it last saturday! I've never finished something this quick. I tried a slightly different method on fur. All critcism greatly appreciated.

The Necromancer

Yay pensil, and my first coyote! I needed the practice. I actually like this, despite many things. Anatomy and such is fine..balance is a bit funky and I discovered magic never looks good in black and white. This was originally going to be full-body but I couldn't find a good position for the legs.

The thing across the bottom is the crow spirit, being summoned back. Coyotes seem to have a natural talent with practicing magic, and travel around sharing their services.

Pensil on matt board, not sure on the size...so I'll guess. I guess its about 15X9 inches.

Nashoba-Hostina Trade

My half of a trade with the talented ! We agreed to this a very long time ago, and finally got around to it! I hope you like it .

She's supposed to be at the edge of a dropoff down to a river. I can't help but feel there's something off about the outstretched leg, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it and decided not to fix it.

Puppy Cry

A werewolf puppy howling. I sketched this a long time ago, and finally without the power cord this last week, I got around to painting it. I'm going to try a different method of fur/painting next time around, cuz I'm just not sure this is the way I want to do things.

Commission for Scrapper Black Dragon. Acrylics, a little prisma 15X20. I feel like I'm getting better at acrylics

I only had about 5 minutes to paste the scans together, so the colors are a bit off and too dark.

September

For an upcoming calendar project that Zakka and I are organizing.

The idea is a werewolf calendar that will resemble wildlife calendars sold featuring animal photographs. Each month will have a paragraph giving some "information" about werewolves. Watch either of our journals for more information, they will become available for order in October!

"Even though werewolves can pronounce human words in beast form, body language still plays a very important part in their communication, even in human form. Poses, growls and barks can often express more than words do.”

The Northern Lights

A commission for Spark! His character...Spark...is a wolf with fox coloring. Creative title, no?

This was quite a challenge lighting-wise, but I think its about right now. A making-of has been done and will be uploaded in a little bit...as several people have asked for an updated tutorial, which I simply don't have the time for.
