Outlook: Sunny

Hester from 5GOA on a sunny day in Wormwood.

Palimpsest

I was sitting around feeling all lazy and vaguely useless. So I drew a smirky cobra with big titties. Cheered me right up!\r\n\r\nUploaded as a big file so you can see just how sloppy I get sometimes. Sloppy is good now and then.

Passing Fancy

Portrait of the artist as a happy dragon.\n

'Portrait of the Artist as an MP3 Player'\r\n\r\nor\r\n\r\n'I am consumed by ennui.'\r\n\r\nScreengrab of a corner of my desktop, displaying my second skin for the Mac mp3 player Audion (www.panic.com). This started life as a pen doodle on the bus, and is a synthesis of my online persona as a slinky black dragon and my RL identity as a skinny pale nerd.\r\n\r\nMaybe I need to make a section of my website for these things. Maybe.\r\n

The image I threw together for the discussion board's icon. Presented here in my silly original intent of breaking the border. If the thumbnail comes out correctly it should probably be transparant in the image listings...

For the hive.\r\n\r\nIllustrator CS2.

Progeny of (VOID)

The last of the (VOID) Court, and the next to last of the cards to be drawn for the deck. All I got left is the comedic nuclear apocalypse. (Plus finalizing the box.)

"Are you SURE you've done this before?" Mindee asked. Suzee's only reply was a muffled giggle.

Oh, hi again. You've changed too.

Her constant cries of "Off with her head!" lead to the mouthless mask being locked upon her face. She was much more regal after that. Very quickly done for the newly-renamed Queen of Stripes.

Queen of Cups

Water of Water.

Queen of Pentacles

Water of Fire.

Queen of Swords (take 2)

Water of Air.

Queen of (VOID)

Empty of watery emotion. Not even a reflection of those around her.

Queen of Wands

Water of Earth.

An experiment, in style and in some corners of Illustrator's features.

"The Glass Cat, which Dr. Pipt lawlessly made," continued the Wizard, "is a pretty cat, but its pink brains made it so conceited that it was a disagreeable companion to everyone. So the other day I took away the pink brains and replaced them with transparent ones, and now the Glass Cat is so modest and well behaved that Ozma has decided to keep her in the palace as a pet." &mdash; L. Frank Baum, <i>The Patchwork Girl of Oz</i>\r\n\r\nFor a friend.

Kiss of the Wyrm

Underneath the widest skies...

Black and blue, dancing and swirling.\r\n\r\nTwo happy dragon ladies.

Recursive identity transformation #5

I blame Ed Emberly.

Out with the old, in with the old.

Winter solstice, 2004.\r\n\r\nI don't like winter.

Same-day emergency birthday commission - Revar the vampire bat looking noir and dreamy.\r\n\r\nI wish my favorite pen hadn't clogged, forcing me to work with what else was handy.\r\n\r\nOriginal character created by Watts Martin, borrowed by the person who plays her on Furrymuck, for whose birthday this was made. Confused yet?
