Home isn’t the Place, it’s the Company\r\nMy friends, The Menagerie. There is Hirryu (expert vidiogame player) the red firedrake, Nashoba (Me) the wolf on the bottom, Kat (the sweetest tigress you’ll ever come across, one of my two best friends, not to mention a great artist/singer/musician/author) the tiger with her mate Panda, (the Anime GOD) who is… a Panda. Then there is Kit (my other best friend, who taught me that it’s still okay to play) the grey fox and her mate, Kyu the super ferret (That says it all)! We all have our differences, and occasionally we have our squabbles, but when things get rough, there is no finer group of people to be with and I feel privileged to have them. \r\nWe are © ourselves Art © Nashoba Hostina Nashoba_Hostina@yahoo.com Geocities.com/Nashoba_Hostina\r\n

This is a picture for Ahkahna (who is © herself), but I put her in Grecian garb, since she said she liked it so much.

Akien the Grahll (Werewolf) and Westly the Vampire (who is mimicking a Grahll-like form,) stare each other down. Wes is the cute one. Akien... turned out to be an ugly kinda werewolf. (Which is funny, because he’s not supposed to look too bad at all as a human) I don’t know if that’s because he Changed straight out of anger, or because he’s naturally ikky-lookin, with funky ears, and long, yellowed, steakknife-like teeth, or what... but there he is anyway.\r\n\r\nWestly is © himself\r\n\r\nArtwork and Characters, unless otherwise specified, are © Nashoba Hostina.

Image ©Nashoba Hostina 2003 Therian_Sanctuary@yahoo.com. \r\n\r\n\r\nGraphite and colored pencil on sketchbook paper\r\n\r\n\r\nFinally, those color studies are starting to pay off! Too bad my anatomy still seems off... bleaugh. This picture turned out okay… I ended up carrying a calendar to school for reference for it… lotsa fun. A friend and I had been talking about butterflies and such… and I ended up with this. Originally, he was gonna be covered in them… but in the thumbnail it took away from the pic.

Doodle and Character ©Nashoba Hostina 2003\r\n\r\nI was thinking about some old awful pictures that I had done long ago... and decided to do a re-do of one. This is the result.\r\n\r\n

Thanks for looking at my artwork!\r\n\r\nInk and colored pencil on Parchment Paper \r\nThis began as a request made by Katie Cat's brother. He had seen a comic book that I had illustrated for the promotion of a local business called "SnapDragon" (Which is property of Steven Bates) and asked if I would draw him as a dragon. However, one of the failures I scraped and made into this image… (Though the name "Dan" stuck) it will go on sale at the Marcon art show in 2003. \r\n

This is a picture I made after having a strange dream about little floating, glowing crystals.

Image ©Nashoba Hostina 2003 Therian_Sanctuary@yahoo.com. \r\n\r\n\r\nGraphite and colored pencil on sketchbook paper\r\n\r\n\r\nFor a long time, I have done little pictures like this, which are jokes. I've drawn D'Lion, the Dandy Lion, for quite some time, just as little doodles, but I finally decided to do a real picture of him. I've also done dandelions as little flowers with lion faces… but they are just doodles… I love dandelions!\r\n

This is Nash, a werewolf and Wes, a vampire running toward the promise of prey on the Full Moon. After Nash slipped up and lost her grip on her homid form, she Changed to her Wolfself, and Wes offered to keep an eye on her, and make sure she wouldn’t do anything she normally wouldn’t… and part of me just couldn’t help thinking that the whole situation was sort of like taking a dog for a walk.

It’s about time I did this! This is a Felivixen, a fox/cat. Kit’s been referred to as a Felivixen here and there, and I finally drew one! I love my Chibi! Who cares about the main image?
