13 - Misfortune

Not all hunts go well... here's one where things took an unexpected turn

14 - Smile

I know it's sort of uneven... Originally a sketch I did during a slow moment at work, but decided to add more detail and wasn't in the mood to fix it up too much heh.

16 - Questioning

I wasn't sure what to put this gal under, but her gaze seemed rather questioning so...\r\nI'd finished drawing her feet but I ran out of paper XD And I think this added a nice touch.

17 - Blood

Here comes Blood! Decided to go with a slightly more "civilized" version of what you may think of when you hear the word!\r\nAmazing you don't see more vamp sable-tooths... I mean, it's the role they were born to play with those fangs!\r\nWorked hard on creating a setting, hope it worked. Had fun messing around with this colouring style, too!

18 - Rainbow

No comments X)

1 - Introduction

I joined this 100 Themes challenge, except, well, I didn't officially join, I'm just doing it on my own since I don't draw so much manga/anime. Try doing a search for 100 theme challenge and you'll find the site. This is #1, Introduction, a mommy or daddy meeting their offspring for the first time. Yeah, I know, they look like different breeds... let's say they are mutts XD

21 - Vacation

An arctic wolf on vacation, what else can I say XD

23 - Cat

Next one! Here is is #23, Cat. I was doodling in Photoshop and this lil guy came out. He was supposed to be a devon rex but he doesn't really look much like one! Certainly a wirehaired kitty, though. \r\nAnd yes, he can't make a real fist because those metal claws don't bend X3\r\n\r\nI think this is my best 100 % digitally made pic to date (at least in this style). 99 % of the time I hand-draw and scan my outlines, here it's all on the comp.

25 - Trouble Lurking

Next in the series! This time it's a Kirin (aka quilin, chinese unicorn etc... though in reality, they are different from unicorns and occasionally decpited with two horns rather than one).\r\n\r\nNot much else to say... I think this is one of my better hand-drawn pieces despite the lack of background :P

27 - Foreign

What can I say... yet another drawing where I coloured the critter, then out of the blue decided on a random background that doesn't at all match, so they look like they were cut and pasted together from two different drawings? Ah well, such is life!\r\n\r\nI LOVED working with this paper. Unfortunately I don't remember where I got it from, haha. But it was very generous with letting me blend the colours, so smooth and nice to work with.\r\n\r\nThe outline is old and I found it laying around, but I still think it counts as new practice... the colouring, you know! Still learning to use those darn brushes

2 - Love

Next one... OK, this one took AGES to ink. I have to say, it looks better fo sho in RL, you have to view it from a bit of a distance to see the colours blend and all, and then it's quite nice. Scanned and up close doesn't really do it justice ;)

31 - Flowers

Started this one at work, so no refs or good drawing materials (used a cheap black bic pen).\r\nUnfortunately, the scanner didn't pick up all the lines, let me assure you the flowers are completely shaded in RL :P\r\nShe's supposed to be a striped hyena, btw.\r\n

33 - Expectations

Just playing around in Photoshop... Think he'll dare to make the move and kiss her? X)

34 - Stars

Dull and boring pic that didn't turn out very well, but I did what I could with it!

35 - Hold My Hand

Not much to say *shrug*

36 - Precious Treasures

Next theme pic. A coyote keeping a secure grip on its mate.\r\nRather different colouring style from my usual! I had loads of fun with it though, it's fun to really work out the fur details like that, gradually. It sort of ended up looking like watercolours or something, but besides the scanned outline it's all digital.

37 - Eyes

She started out as an unicorn, but I figured a cow would be more interesting :)

3 - Light

Random lynx girl. I've got a lion boy to match her XD I'll colour him when I feel like it.

40 - Rated

My friend Umz told me once to draw a "drag draggie". And this is my attempt :P

41 - Teamwork

Not a lot of people know this, but ferrets are fantastic at taming werewolves. With time, they can even become excellent partners in crime.\r\nI realize I inverted the ferret's head pattern... sorry about that... I'm not used to drawing them and didn' have a ref. Ah well, I'll do better next time X)\r\n\r\n(The werewolf's crazy leg structure is intentional - he is half human after all!)

43 - Dying

This is based on swedish/scandinavian mythology; a story that varies a bit, but the basic idea is of a huge man with incredible strength, which he had achieved by using magic taking over the strength of a three year old stallion (hence horse was an obvious choice for his anthro form). He was so big and strong he could take on entire armies by himself and dined with kings. However, he got into trouble courting a princess and hard to flee north. One day, on his way home from a friend, he was struck by lightning and died.\r\nThere are many tales of where he is buried, quite a few towns claim to host his grave.

46 - Family

Another drawing that started during a slow moment at work. A feathery wyvern holding its egg about to crack open.

47 - Creation

A general canine shaping clay into um... whatever your imagination wants it to be!

49 - Stripes

Stripes! Boring, I know XD Originally, I was going for Rated but it ended up looking so tame, haha.\r\n\r\nThe pose was borrowed from the lovely stock photos found at http://falln-stock.deviantart.com/

4 - Dark

To go with lynx girl :) (#3 Light)

52 - Deep in Thought

Next one, and yet another began-at-work piece.\r\nYoung tiger contemplating over something by a small lake. That's my favourite sitting position, if you were wondering. I guess it looks slightly odd from the side... but the left leg is tucked in under the right. I'm actually sitting like that right now writing this, just realized it, wasn't intentional, haha.

53 - Keeping a Secret

Cats are excellent at keeping secrets.

5 - Seeking Solace

A chimera and his lioness mate. Intentionally didn't make the chimera's facial structure exactly like a lion, I like adding some unique elements to my mythic animals.\r\nI wonder what it's like to make out with someone that's got three heads O.o

60 - Rejection

The balinese isn't impressed. Most cats aren't easily impressed...

61 - Fairytale

Practicing drawing plants... and I thought that white wolf there looked like it could have been part of a fairytale. He does have better shading in RL but the scanner didn't pick it up.
