'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.

Over-The-Knee

...As in "over-the-knee (OTK) rain boots" (or wellies to those of you outside the US).

They don't really exist, but if over-the-knee fashion boots persist in being popular long enough, they just might happen. Just like in the pic here.

Super Pillow Fighter Turbo Lingerie Edition

Tina gets in the first strike in a pillow fight. Color version of an sketchbook art trade with "Roochak" during Anthrocon 08.

More info at the [Comment] link.

"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.

Pumpkin Killer

Oh well, I didn't get in a Halloween pic during the actual day. This one could servedual purposes. A macabre sight during the 'holiday', or a covenient means of disposing of a sagging jack'o lantern. Or it could be (according to the dialogue) that Tina sucks at carving them, and is disposing of the evidence. In any case, here she goes, stomping the living...um, pulp out of the pumpkin that might've been. She even dressed in her 2007 outfit from "The Perfect Pumpkin", except for the maryjanes--she chose some sawtooth-bottomed versions for extra stomping traction.

The only other thing she should have remembered was to put down plastic before making a crime scene out of the hapless pumpkin.

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.

Puss N' Leather (And Boots)

G-Rated version of "Puss N' Butts" made by drawing in a leather jacket and micro-miniskirt on seperate layers.

The Race at C-ACE

Colored convention sketch done at C-ACE 2007's dead-dog party. First time coloring "under the lines". Tatiana races a VIA passenger train through an unidentified station just to burn off excess energy.

More inf at the [Comment] link.

Resolution Interrupted

Normally I try to keep a seperate set of artworks on my VCL and FurAffinity galleries, but since this recent FA submission has some bearing on future events in the comic, I figured it should go here too.

A more detailed description of the image itself is on my FurAffinity page (same username), but you can get the gist of it by reading her body language, and the note she's writing.

Analog: Micron lines, brush inked solid blacks

The Perfect Pumpkin (clean)

My extremely mild Halloween pic for 2004. Tina takes home a rather large pumpkin from a pick-it-yourself field. More detailed info at the [Comment] link.

The Perfect Pumpkin (muddy)

Alternate version of my (still) extremely mild Halloween pic for 2007. Tina carts home a jack-o-lantern candidate from a pick-it-yourself field that apparently was part quagmire. Those platform maryjanes came in handy, didn't they? More detailed description at the [Comment] link.

Sausage Factory!

Round about the time Y! Gallery banned anthropomorphic artwork , a lot of yaoi artists flocked to FurAffinty, with the result being a lot of "sausage" being posted.

So I depiced FA as a 'sausage factory' running full-speed overtime way into the night, where Bastien and Cynthia stare and wonder.

More detailed description at the [Comment] link.

Cynthia experiences an oft-used phrase here come to life. Sorry, but I've seen it used so often that it just begged to be illustrated. One of the few images I completed in 2002 in anticipation of getting an account here.

Media: Brush ink and partial digital touch up.

The Scanner Ate my Pic

This used to be a common claim on VCL. I made fun of it back in 2003.

Then in 2007, I resurrected the pic and colored it like I was using Illustrator. Only without Illustrator. Or Photoshop. This required a process so long-winded you'll have to follow the [Comment] link to learn more about it :)

SideKick-ed to the Curb

You really should watch where you're walking while texting up a storm.

More details available at the [Comment] link.

Slush Hour

Motivational or de-motivational? I don't know.

Are they getting their feet wet doing that? I don't know, but it's nice to think that they aren't. At least going by their expressions. More long-winded description at the [Comment] link.

Smackin' It...

Standalone pic drawn as an adjunct to "The Race at C-ACE" below, to better show the detail of Tatiana's bike shorts.

Snug as an Ugg in a Rug

Sherryl got her some trendy boots. They're so freakishly commonplace, that I basically have to draw most of my (female) characters wearing them at one point or another, in order to be able to say that I draw my characters wearing stuff that the average person can recognize.
