Short Shorts, High Heels

Tina, modeling some very high shorts, and some even higher platform heeled sandals. More info at the [Comment] link.

Slung So Low...

...that if those jeans rode any lower, it would be a misdemeanor. Experiment with photographic backdrop and backlighting, not to mention seeing how far one can sexy up a character who's still fully dressed (for the most part) :)

Skinny Dipping

Convention sketch for M. Mitchell Marmel at Anthrocon 2006, colored and extensivley digitally reworked compared to the original. Tali and Nei'chelle converse while cooling off in a secluded stream. What might they be talking about? Not a clue :)

Tanya, 6Teen-style

Well, almost.

I've been wanting to imitate this sort of Illustrator-ish line-less style since I first spotted 6Teen during one of my forays into Ottawa for the now-defunct C-ACE convention. Upon finding a simple sketch of Tanya that I have no idea what it was intended for, I chose to take a whack at coloring it in as little time as possible. Well that never works--this one took about four hours, which isn't /too/ bad, considering I haven't watched the show this style is based on since it's series finale (I watched it on my laptop while heading to Anthrocon this year).

Tanya, depicted as she appeared in "What, Me Furry?".

I completed this particular image during a Yerf room party at C-ACE 03. If any photos depicting this debauchery manage to escape, I'm the one working the mini-laptop and Wacom, finishing this image.

Prior to my hooking up with VCL, I spent a year and a half crafting a comic (now on my website) that explained how my characters, which pre-date my knowledge of fandom by up to a decade, came to appear here. Here, 'Tatiana' is depicted the way she appeared in the comic. A color version, as well as similar depictions of the remaining cast is slated for the near future.

After I posted the B/W version of this pic, I noticed that I had not drawn her jacket the way it appeared in the comic. So, after redrawing the necessary details, I present my latest attempt to re-acquaint myself with digital color. The base color of her jeans were color/textured using a photographic sample.

Tatiana Remix

Tatiana rides home on the subway one rainy night, sporting a modified hairdo that more closely mirrors the real-life style it was originally based upon, and a outfit I observed during my daily commute.

Tanya, 1999 style

An almost ten-year old pic that I fished out of a folde and cleaned up. Didn't have a background at first, so I pseudo-vector-arted one in so she wouldn't look like she was falling over. More detailed info at the [Comment] link.

Tina loves platform shoes. But a quirk of hers is she gets a kick out of slogging through gooey mud in them (the platforms let her go deeper without getting any in them). Continuing where the last comic left off, she's about to do the dirty deed to a pair of maryjanes you can see by Googling "Demonia Sin" (just so you know I'm not exaggerating the ones in the pic--and yes, the style name is just a coincidence). Up to seven more pics are slated to follow this one before the next comic.

Second of a series of 8.

Tina walks out into the mud, apparently pleased at the wide margin of protection her platform shoes are affording her. It's a pretty good bet she's going to go further.

3rd of 8.

A few steps further, and Tina is in deep enough to have to pull hard to overcome the mud's suction on each step. Never mind her expression though, she's getting a substantial thrill out of this. And as a bonus she still hasn't gotten any mud inside the shoes yet.

So far, the hardest part of these pics has proven to be coloring the mud and the footprints she's leaving in it. The pencils and inks for the whole series was done in September, but I only decided to go ahead with completing and posting them shortly before the first was posted.

4 of 8.

Originally these pics were going to have captions of Tina's thoughts, self-narrating why she gets such a kick out of slogging through the muck. At this point she would've been describing to the viewer what a thrill she's getting standing in almost eight inches of gooey muck wearing only maryjanes, (of all things), and still hasn't gotten any mud inside them, thanks to their massive platform soles.

I've been experimenting with ways to improve the shading, highlights and outlines of the eyes. I may actually be on to something.

5th in a series of 8, and first pic I've completed in '05

Now more confident in her shoes' ability to handle the mud (remember those massive platforms hidden in the muck), Tina ventures into an area even wetter (evidenced by the pools of standing water), and sinks in just a little bit more.

Number 6 of 8 (but only 7 being posted)

In case you forgot just how big those platforms were...
Tina, momentarily off balance when her left foot sinks a little further than expected as her weight shifts to it.

In the course of trying to depict her mud-caked right shoe, I may have inadvertently learned how to draw a very wet surface. I wonder what that may be useful for, hmm...?

(yeah, I know--pr0n :D) Anyway,

#8 Conclusion.

Having successfully crossed the mud, Tina takes a seat on solid ground, displaying the mess she's made of her shoes. Just as intended, she made it across without getting any inside her shoes.

#7 in the series was skipped since the original intent was to let her bog down past the tops of the shoes, after which she'd go for broke and keep slogging forward till she reached dry land. When time came to color these, the conclusion was altered, leaving it an orphan.

And yes, the 'panty shot' was an entirely unplanned detail.

Tina Trampoline-ing

This is another experiment in forced perspective. Unlike Needs No Decoration (only on my FurAffinity gallery owing to nudity), it didn't get repurposed for the holidays or gussied up with all sorts of backdrop-ery. Largely because there's no room for one. The title is meant to give some context to the perspective, as I know in the past some have seen my depictions of Tina here as suggesting a macro character. She's just jumping up and down on a trampoline :)

(Observation) I seem to be getting better at rendering semi-shiny surfaces. Spooky.

That was Foul, Yo!

Cynthia assured Tanya that it was OK to cross that huge slush puddle. After all, she's wearing the same boots and standing in the deepest part with no effect whatsoever.

However, she didn't tell her about wrapping her feet in plastic bags before slipping into those boots. I think that was intentional, since zippered boots usually aren't waterproof :)

Did a Very Bad Thing

Colored and improved version of a sketchbook trade I did at Anthrocon '07 in ZinaCat's 'book. Two girls with an eye for mischief plus a flamethrower equal mirth and merriment :D

Detail of "Wakeup Call"

When I originally inked "Wakeup", I spent a fair amount of time (okay, a few minutes during a local 'furmeet') inking the hair and its highlights.

The amount of detail didn't translate well when I colored the pic (too complicated), and I wound up replacing the inkwork with a simplified set of color highlights and shadow.

Depicted here is a detail shot of the original inkwork before I colored it, all done with a size 2 Windsor & Newton round-bristle brush and Speedball ink. It's also one of the best examples of the technique I've done to date.

We all know the feeling. For some of us, it hits too early. Tanya reacts to the racket of a less than pleasant alarm clock.

Was that Rain?

Tina reaches out to see if more raindrops are coming out of that approaching storm. More detailed info at the [Comment] link.

A hot day in the park finds Tina letting a water hose run till it's cold enough for refreshment. With those sandals, it's anyone's guess as to whether she knows she's flooding the immediate area.

What, me Hentai?

Tanya is a bit upset at finding out she's been depicted cosplaying a character in a hentai manga ("Fall in Hole in Wall Girl"). More detailed description available at [Comment] link.

Micro R/C was still relativley new when this piece was created, hence the expression on Tina's face when her boyfriend Todd took his Civic for a "test drive". Too bad real Zip Zaps won't climb hills like that :)

Zip zaps (color)

An old pic inked in 2004, that I colored up on a whim to keep some semblence of activity in my gallery. Originally posted to my VCL gallery as a B/W image.

Given the time the pic was drawn, I'd say Tina is more surprised that they made R/C cars (Zip Zaps) that small than she is that her significant other Todd is driving one across her breasts. Not that she minds that--being a bit of a perv she's always inviting him to play with them.

Her boobs that is.
