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.

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.

Scrapper Black Dragon Commission

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.”

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.”

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.

Deep in the Heart of Texas

The stars at night
Are big and bright....

For those of you who arent from the best place in the world: Texas is covered in blankets of wildflowers in the spring. The blue ones are the bluebonnet, the state flower, the red are my favorite, the indian paintbrush. The feather in the coyote's hair is a mockingbird feather, which is also the Texas state bird.

Wow, this took me forever. One of my layers is titled "layer 62." They do not actually number that high in the finished file, because I was constantly merging, but that just shows the minimum that I dealt with. Other than that, I'm not too happy about how the flowers in the distance look, but am very happy with the abalone in her hair .

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Adorned for War

Oh, I have been waiting to scan this for like 2 months. I put alot of effort into this and am pretty proud of it. The sides are all cut off a bit, because I wasnt scanning at home, I was at kinkos. Im especially happy with the cactus . He's a Luhkazti warrior, painted and adorned for a fight.

I would really appreciate criticism..especially as to the painting aspect...if it looks choppy or chunky or the fur or whatever. I know about the anatomy mistakes. I really enjoy doing acrylic paintings.

A Werewolf sniffing some leaves while tracking something. Or...someone.

This scan is HORRIBLE. I know everyone says that, but you know, I have a great scanner, but its one of those ones that rolls the picture though, so it has to be 8x11. So considering the size of this, I had to use my parents crappy scanner.

Night Wolf

This is an old digital painting, I was interested in trying a starscape. I have edited it since the original, only slightly. I -think- I'll keep it in my gallery. Anatomy is all funky, but hell, its old art.

Tussle

Werewolves or Luhkazti? I never decided. I have alot of difficulty with multiple characters in one picture, so this was a big challenge, but it was fun. I also chose to practice light, which I know I still need alot of work on.
This is something inspired by someone who I will always care about.

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.

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.

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.
