Hi, I'm Aelius Wolphirse (not to be confused with GSIF's Aelius Teneferr), your resident timberwolf artist. Yeah, model sheet part two, 'cuz I don't like going around nekkid. As you might notice, I'm still experimenting with my drawing style in hopes of finding one I can stick with.\r\n\r\nAelius Wolphirse (still) © Nick Hardin

Hmm... I need inking practice... and a paint program that doesn't glitch up everytime I try to shade or highlight my pics (hence the flats). Ah well, this is merely a model sheet of my fursona to help out artists that I commission and the like.\r\n\r\nAelius Wolphirse © Nick Hardin

Yep, I'm a poser *LOL*\r\nJen Seng, one of my favorite artists, accidentally started an entire bandwagon of paropy Apple iPod ads. I want an iPod, but I don't have one, so I guess I'll just have to settle for this. Or "iWish", hehe\r\n\r\n iPod © Apple\r\n Aelius Wolphirse © Nick Hardin

Here's my latest entry into the infamous G.S.I.F. multi-fan team of the Extinctioners! This is Kinetica, a high-speed smart alec bunny with enough tease and attitude to spare.\r\n\r\nKinetica © Nick Hardin\r\nG.S.I.F. © Tom Lee & Nick Hardin\r\nExtinctioners © Shawntae Howard

And here's Nova, Fenicia's supervixen form. White-hot metallic firefox of the GSIF!\r\n(next shameless plug) Find her, Kanta, and many others at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/GSIF_Central\r\n\r\nNova © Cassie Foxx \r\nArt by Nick Hardin \r\n

This is a commission I did for a friend of mine (well, actually I chose to do it with her permission, heh). This is Fenicia, a character from the GSIF, in her civilian form.\r\n\r\nFenicia © Cassie Foxx\r\nArt by Nick Hardin

My new scanner is great, except when it comes to B&W linework. That's why I'm glad I have Photoshop, heh. Here's Tempest's (future) lifemate, Kanta "Aurora" Douglas. Check 'er out (as well as many others) at GSIF Central (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/GSIF_Central) \r\n\r\n Kanta © Nick Hardin \r\n

Man, I gotta start uploading more. Nah, I gotta start DRAWING more (I hate procrastination)\r\nAh well, this here is my anacoonda, Kamala. The pic was for a contest at L!'s Anacoonda group (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/anacoondacentral). I didn't win, but at least I saw some improvement in anatomy design. Now I just gotta keep it up so I can get better before I lose it all.\r\n\r\n Anacoonda concept © L!\r\n Kamala © Nick Hardin

Here's the latest version of possible one of my oldest characters (second oldest in the R-Force concept), Athena K. Wildfire. Also known as Biohazard.\r\nShe used to be a weasel, then an otter, then a ferret, and then I finally changed her into the polar bear form she is in now. (had to change since her physique nearly defied all rules of keeping characters in-line with species realistically... not that it mattered, of course... heh)\r\n\r\n Athena K. Wildfire © Nick Hardin

This species look familiar? Heh, if you guessed the Anacoonda, then yes. \r\nL!'s custom species has it's own group at Yahoo \r\n(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/anacoondacentral) \r\nand here's my character, the red-scaled Kamala, and I think she's the forth one to be made there and posted (L!'s first with Astrid, then Max's Coil, and then Shawntae Howard's Naja. Someone correct me if I'm wrong :) ). \r\n\r\nAnacoonda concept © Aaron "L!" Larson \r\nKamala © Nick Hardin \r\n (d'oh! I got Aaron's name wrong at first... sorry 'bout that L! )

That cocky-yet-cunning little lizard from a story that I'm writing along with Steven Swanson and John Silipino. (Steve's got a gallery here, too! Go check it out).\r\nIf you have, in fact, went by Steve's gallery, you might recognize Terrik here. He's not only a character for Season II, he's also a main character in my novel! To be seen in the R-Force section once I can get him colored and put in a stat sheet.\r\n\r\n Terrik © Nick Hardin

Here he is. I adjusted his legs (he's supposed to be a short guy. "Vertically challenged" as he calls it).\r\n\r\nLemon ReNero © Nick Hardin

Yep, here's another R.F. member that's pending a stat sheet (and a coloring). More on him as I progress.\r\n\r\nLemon ReNero and the R-Force copyright © Nick Hardin

My R-Force team has been going through tons of changes throughout the years that I've had them, and after years of changing roles, adding in characters, taking out characters, switching out characters, etc... Lana has stayed in there for probably THE longest time. Girl's gotta be good if she's been able to stay for a while.\r\n\r\nLana Angel copyright © Nick Hardin

This young roo femme is the FIRST roo anthro I've ever drawn. I think I did okay with her. Terarra's one of my favorite characters in the R-Force, and she's actually been in-and-out of the team while I was designing it. This final version is, I'm glad to say, here to stay.\r\n\r\nTerrara Linding copyright © Nick Hardin

Here's Orca, a killer whale - bottlenose dolphin mix from my "Hybrids" series. I still need to color her soon...\r\nShe's my third cetacean morph, and by far the best looking, heh.\r\n\r\nOrca and the "Hybrids" series copyright © Nick Hardin

This is my digital coloring reindition of Sri. She looks almost like Lana... heh.\r\n\r\nSri (and Lana) © Nick Hardin

This is Sri, a character I made for a project in my Latin class (my teacher let me use furries as mythological characters- yes!). This is also my latest character sketch, so now you know where my skills are at this time.\r\n\r\nSri © Nick Hardin

I got Photoshop! YES!\r\nHere's one of my first attempts at coloring. Yeah, I know there's been better, but keep in mind... this IS one of my first tries.

I drew this with a more freehanded art style (much like the bog dog sketch in my sketches folder). I got her done with this technique in half the time as I usually take with teh frames and guidelines. The face is still a problem, though. Especially her beak and eyes. And the muscles and breasts could use a little work, too... so says a friend of mine. And yeah, I know dolphins don't have head hair, but RL ones DO have a type of tiny hair on their beaks. And THIE hair on her... it's hydrodynamically designed!\r\nI haven't really decided which universe I'm using her in, since I got at least two for her.

Arctic, the white dragon. I used this as a second persona in an RPG (and because I wanted a dragon persona anyway). While most common dragons breathe fire, Arctic's the opposite: he's an ice thrower.\r\nArctic © Nick Hardin

Vera (my snow leopard) meets Artica for... I guess the second time (fanfic in works, with permission).\r\nVera's taking a particular liking to things like that...\r\n(Yeah, I know Vera's spots aren't realistic as far as snow leopards go, but I'm trying to fix that. Keep a look out for a possible model sheet with more accurate fur patterns).\r\nVera Blade © Nick Hardin\r\nArtica Lagopus © Shawntae Howard

"Tundra" Here's another character from our superhero team, the GSIF (Global Secondary Intervention Force). She's a kyrokinetic polar bear created by a friend of mine. \r\nTundra © Jenna Johnson

"Tempest" Here's my character I use in a fan-inspired team of furry superheros that my friends and I started last summer (and it's STILL going strong!). The group's based on Shawntae Howard's "Extinctioners". He's been so nice letting us do stuff like this.\r\nTempest © Nick Hardin

Here's a character for a project I'm doing. This is Rix Hunter, one of the legendary beings known as the Auran Sages. More to come (I hope!)\r\nRix Hunter © Nick Hardin
