I Didn't Need to Know...

Tatiana reacts to a revelation about a hypothetical someone she might've considered a friend.

Prompted by an random survey of FA member profiles that revealed a pattern of "universally hated" music genres that when taken together, paint a sinister-looking picture.

Emo Pants

It seems you'll get more discussion of the subject if you Google "girl jeans", but anyway...

Super-baggy jeans seem to have provked a backlash--either that or fashion is going in circles again. Tight jeans have always been a girls' thing, but lately the concept has been spreading across the gender fence with unusual speed. I'm seeing a growing number of guys wearing jeans with legs too narrow to cover the tops of their sneakers. Tatiana has seen them too--which is how Roland wound up with a pair--much to his dismay (he hasn't seen the look of lust on her face yet).

False Modesty

Tina sure does love that "naughty schoolgirl" look, don't she? I'll just bet that camera phone on the ground behind her is getting some desirable shots (yes, she would go commando).

(OC) The Hidden Curse of Ground-Dragging Jeans

...is that they sweep dirt all over the back of your new sneakers with every step you take.

My first OpenCanvas pic, albeit done entirely offline, without anyone else in on it's creation.

I herd u liek...

Word-play on a Pokemon meme, with bonus fanservice and cameltoe.

While Roland tries to decide whether or not he likes his new sneex, Nei'chelle strolls by, and unwittingly gives us a glimpse of what's going on in her head. This happens to be among her tamer impulses, though.

Brush ink, and the usual image app referenced in my other pics.

In Red, with Boots (1)

Relativley quick one, done to have something with red in it for V-day, but not aimed at anyone specific. More detailed description at the [Comment] link.

In Red, with Boots (2)

Another red-dressed character for V-Day (but not aimed at anyone in particular), Tatiana models some towering thigh-high patent-leather boots (as well as red leather jacket and tight latex pants).

Cynthia: "Oh wait--that IS my train"

First pic of 2002, done as an attempt to re-aquaint myself with some form of natural media. Prisma markers with white pencil for highlighting, and minor digital correction of color transfer between dark and light markers.

Just Ridin'

Spotted a young lady on the train with an outfit that I thought would look nice on Cynthia. Details and colors changed over the months it took to get around to drawing her like this, but they were all for the better. Time to draw something other than solid-color tees. More practice with reflections (like on the bench and on her ballerina flats)

Exactly 366 days late :)

Originally late for '04 (see the date on her watch), it gets to be late for '05 too. Something to post to make an appearance till the next comic is finished, and some practice at adjusting color for a nighttime effect. Not quite there, but not as bright as I would've done a day scene.

"The Lewd Bomb"

Does she get to drop it?

Originally posted to FurAffinity (yes, the title is a take on that old "Get Smart" movie), this piece was intended to draw in comments/ suggestions on the direction my associated comic could take, which would in turn influence whether or not any of these characters could appear in explicit material (some of the characters are all for it, some are not).

I'm sure this one is plenty suggestive in it's own right, but it could've been a lot raunchier with some added, ahem "evidence of pleasure" :)

Maximum A/C

Parody of a Maximum PC magazine cover, circa 1999, and revamped in 2007 (it helps to have found the original lineart after all these years).

Maybe in '08?

Fur Affinity denotes "adult" content in its thumbnails by enclosing them in red borders. Perhaps something's going to happen with this character that's going to need one? Meanwhile you can pretend she's topless out of frame.

(actually it's being worked on as I post this--I haven't mentioned it on FA yet)

Mudwalk Appreciation

The attention given to my first series of "mudwalk" pictures after posting to FurAffinity revealed some interest in seeing Tina lose her shoes in a mud bog, then continuing on barefooted. So I slapped together a comic that had her asking the viewership if they wanted to see her do it. And the viewership did.

'Nei'chelle' as she appeared in 'What, Me Furry?'.

Nei'chelle was created to formally introduce my existing characters to the online fandom via the comic named above, which can be found on my site. (previously, I did not allude to fandom's existence with their material)

The fact she's parading around in the buff, (she's one of the 'why do I need clothes?' crowd) is intended to cause friction between her and some of the existing characters and will probably be responsible for attracting more traffic to my gallery than anything else :)

The overall intent is to treat VCL as a virtual community, inhabited by the characters stored within it, which means cross-creator-character interaction is being invited :)

For the longest time, Roland's design included a pair of Reebok Classics as his typical shoes. This summer he got an update, seeing as somehow, massive basketball shoes looked better with shorts, and the Converse Weapon got the nod.

Later on I bought a pair myself, only to find I got the box colors wrong in the pic. I'll correct the pic someday but for now it's waited long enough to be uploaded (delayed by the blackout and a subsequent computer failure).

Non-Slip Grip

Pretty mich as the title says...the right shoe can get you into some odd places.

Ooh, Shiny! (1)

OOh, Shiny (1)

This pic originally started out as an exercise in drawing patent-leather surfaces. I have a few pairs of sneakers made of this material, so I had plenty of references for how the reflections and such should be rendered.

(*The style is real. You can still find a photo of them on shoebuy.com with the rest of the Sperrys they carry).

Ooh, Shiny! (2)

OOh, Shiny (2)

Practice pic for coloring patent-leather. I drew this second one after becoming convinced that I had lost the original artwork for the first version before scanning it, only to find it literally minutes after inking this one. I completed both pics for posting and invite the viewership to see how many differences they can spot between the two.

"I Don't Want to be a Pin-up".

Concieved to spoof the title of "We Don't Want Another Hero" from the Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdrome soundtrack. Tanya makes a determined effort to not simply stand there on a white backdrop, while Tina attempts to warn her that her impulsive action isn't too well thought out.

Puss N' Butts--er, Boots

Self explanatory :)

Okay, it was just going to be a simple one-day pinup, then it became a not-so simple pinup that took two days. More detailed description at the [Comment] link.
