Two years later, after her traumatic time in the Up-and-out trying to bring post-scarcity technology to backwards planets, Charlotte-Sophia could barely remember what it was like to be the idealistic girl in this snapshot.

My online self. In her undies. Not looking all that happy about it.

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

Kobi for the Yerf trading post.\r\n\r\nDirect in AI, sketch and all. Probably about two hours when I should've been working, but hey, there's just something about a guy in a dress.

Direct in AI, no underlying pencil rough for a change.\r\n\r\nInspiration: Gorey's 'L'Heure Blue' and my currently tummultuous personal life.

Arial, for Ashtoreth's birthday. Uncensored version.\r\n\r\nI chose to emphasize her sinuousness and evil instead of her mammaries and genitalia, as most art of her has.\r\n\r\nArial is owned and operated by Ashtoreth, not me. *grin*

Feel the hypnotic power of snail bosoms!\r\n\r\nAnna Pieruccini's 'Dream Snail', warped through my rubbery cartoon vision. Original pencil sketch done midsummer '02, then pulled out and parsed through Illustrator in a day when she became the Postmistress of this week's Yerf Trading Post.\r\n\r\nI wasn't going to upload this any wider than the Trading Post, but people loved it when I posted it to my LJ. Ironically, my boobalicious treatment of the character makes it dubious as to whether it's Yerf-allowable.

Birthday commission - Revar the vampire bat looking noir and dreamy.\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?\r\n\r\nHeavy use of transparency.

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?

Matt Harpold's 'Turbine Divinity', for the Yerf trading post.

A self-portrait.\r\n\r\nDone in Painter 7.

Her name is Myra.\r\nShe has plans for you.\r\nYou won't like them.

The third part of 'December Flowers'; the other two are 'Chanteuse' and 'Mastermind'.

The second third of the piece that I began with 'Chanteuse'.

One third of a larger piece, which is still in progress.\r\n\r\nIllustrator over pencil rough.

Al Hirschfeld, last of the great celebrity caricaturists. 1903-1993.

"Exposure". Illustrator over pencil rough.\r\n\r\nSort of a sequel to 'Full Stop', sort of not.

"Full Stop". Illustrator over pencil rough.\r\n\r\nIt was her utterly happening boots that made me decide to take this from a bus doodle to a finished illustration. There was going to be some text as a graphic element, but it didn't work out.\r\n\r\n(Reupload: tweaked the arms and text.)

Jam with oCelOt at the '02 fur-b-q. Pencils: Peggy. Inks: oCe (reverse credit on the teddy bear).\r\n\r\nAlternate description, generated in Mad Lib form by oCe, myself, Talon, Ch'marr, and Talon's girlfriend:\r\n\r\nOK, this piccie straddles but i uploaded it anyway. It represents my depression and luminosity and i colored it with vegemite and lymph on a crankshaft. (c) yo mama, no steal or i will masticate your spleen like a sea cucumber on shro0mz!!!!1!!1

Me, looking evil and/or seductive. Illustrator over pencil sketch.\r\n\r\nThe text is my little foray into faux-Pseudo-Manitouness.

While at CF02, Gryllus came up to me and said "Draw me a yiffy vixen, Peggy!" She was obviously not terribly serious, but I drew this anyway. In my own sketchbook rather than hers. Ah well. I thought it was funny-looking enough that I decided to bring it through Illustrator...\r\n\r\nIf Huckleberry Hound had breasts, they would look something like the ones depicted here.

From a doodle done at CF02. I'm toying with having this screened onto t-shirts and selling them at FC03, given its 'Alice' theme. If you'd be likely to buy one, please e-mail me and I'll be more likely to actually go through with it.\r\n\r\n"I've often seen a cat without a grin..."

Lately I've been playing around with funny-animal versions of half-snakes from myth. Here we have a raccoon lamia and my reaction to finding myself stricken with insomnia on the morning of Valentine's Day.\r\n\r\n\r\nQuick and dirty Photoshop greyscale under scanned inks.

It's long past time for a new picture of me, I think.\r\n\r\nOriginally done for the 'VCL Class Photo' project (see the thread in the 'Artwork Related' section of the forum here), I liked this enough to stick a quick abstract-psycho background on it and let it stand alone.\r\n\r\nIllustrator paths over pencil scan, as usual.\r\n\r\nDrawing a compact pose like this for an all-black character is not an easy thing at all, especially when eschewing linework as much as possible. I tried to keep my use of desperation lines to an absolute minimum, and make them evocative in a Hirschfield-y way.

'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

I rarely express angst through my artwork. By the time I put pen to paper, other emotions bubble up. \r\n\r\nThis reaction to the World Trade Center terrorist attack is strongly inspored by the work of good ol' Walt Kelly.

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...

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

Somehow I doubt you've ever seen this particular species mix before...\r\n\r\nCheap pen and black Prismacolor, tarted up in Photoshop a bit for that faded Western feel.\r\n\r\ncoyohti manifests on Furrymuck as a slender gunfighter, hence the clothing.\r\n

Inari. Done in exchange for a tune.\r\n\r\nIllustrator over inked rough.
