This is the full triptych as seen in the previous three submissions, arranged as they now are on my boyfriend's wall.

All three of these were finished within one week. All are 19x24" bristol, with AD marker, iridescent features on the figures, and either a gold or silver stamp border and my name signed in metallic ink. These are my significant other's primary three characters.

The leftmost panel of a tryptich I did for my boyfriend's most recent birthday. This one I actually completed in his apartment that weekend, without him ever sneaking a glance of it that I knew. Those are my lovely hands reflected in the glass, I couldn't find a good way to doctor them out.

This one I'm slightly pleased with, the colored and anatomy are certainly correct, but I worry I didn't catch Lucky's spirit. Mostly because I deviated from a particular facial expression I often like to draw him with, so as to avoid making it look just like his other image of Lucky(Rave at the Dracana).

His eyes, scales, and jewelry are all done with iridescent inks so they'll sparkle in the light.

The middle panel of a triptych I did for my boyfriend's birthday. The image IS skewed, please excuse that. I doctored it to the best of my ability from a photograph taken this past weekend.

This panel is my favorite. Rowan's eyes, cheek markings, vest, and anything gold/brass glitter with iridescent ink. The hand gestures are actually Buddhist mudras, signifying strength in his left hand an a unification with earth energies(Important for a clockwork labyrinth explorer) in his right.

He's delightfully steampunk. <3

triptych_arris.jpg

The rightmost panel of a triptych I did entirely too fast(One week) for my boyfriend's birthday on August 24th.

There are HUGE problems with this image. Life permitting it will be redone, since I know how to correct them in the future. Specifically I refer to the size of his body related to his head. I accidentally gave him a huge noggin. This was due to working entirely too close to a 19x24 piece of bristol and losing track of proportion. Don't do it kids, always step back from you work.

The image is pretty much entirely AD marker, coupled with a colored inkwash background, and iridescent ink in his eyes, hairholders, and bracer. And yes, that's me in the reflection of this photo.

This was a Christmas present I think for Rowan(Boyfriend) in 2007(The birthday prior to this holiday he recieved the Rave at the Dracana image).

It's a 19x24 drawing with conte on dark blue paper. The character at left is Rowan's werewolf Arris, with my female wolf/werewolf Siri featured at right. If the features are hard to make out I apologize, the image is a photograph taken this past weekend during a visit and the light wasn't really appropriate.

This was my first for-fun conte drawing I ever did and I'm still very fond of it, although I always forget to fix Siri's muzzle. She has cheetah-like black tearstreaks on her face, however since I did not highlight the top of them, it makes her muzzle look thin and catlike.

This is an OLD picture, done two years agoas a Christmas present for my boyfriend. I think of Rowan as his flagship character since they both look a great deal alike and have similar mannerisms.

The image is full of symbols from me to him, now that I look at it. Rowan was pretty saintly to me after past experience, coupled with the 'guardian angel' theme and the fact he has both a heart and a key. The blank book was initially for him to write or draw in himself, but his choice to leave it blank over the years has come to have its own meaning.

The image is 11x17 bristol with marker, colored pencil, watercolor, pen, and iridescent ink. Please excuse the atrocious colors, the image is a photograph of the framed piece and so there's been quite a bit of image doctoring.

A puzzled Siri wolf looks down at someone. Depending on who you are, this could be a question of health or edibility.

opossum_mini.jpg
Image: opossum_mini.jpg   591x590 84043 bytes 2008.09.03

A bold and well-built opossum lady. This was another experiment of making anthros out of the less common species. Not a personal best, but I like her body and background, as well as my attempts to mix human and opossum feet.

6x6" weekend doodle on bristol.

ratgirl_mini.jpg

A cute and pretty little albino rat. She's holding the bell from a cat's collar in her left paw. I really liked this character too, though she was just a doodle. 6x6" bristol and marker.

mona_mini.jpg
Image: mona_mini.jpg   594x588 99137 bytes 2008.09.03

Rowan's female counterpart Mona, a gypsy-like woman who's clothing choices run green and low-cut. Another 6x6" weekend doodle.

Image: penguin_mini.jpg   588x552 83201 bytes 2008.09.03

I kept pestering my boyfriend Rowan for species ideas for a random anthro. I don't remember the first species but the second was 'Penguin', so I looked up Emperor penguins and attempted to anthropomorphisize one. I think I succeeded quite well! I also think he's quite adorable and plan to keep him around.

Another 6x6" of Batman enjoying his favorite cereal. Doodled while watching the New Batman Adventures. It still makes me giggle. <3

A 6x6 doodle from the weekend of Despair(A tiger demon), vomiting tentacle entrails.

Image: mochaskunk2.jpg   544x545 98698 bytes 2008.08.29

A small doodle, only 6x6". I actually really like the design of the character, but then I am a fan of bold white markings.

sakaraface.jpg
Image: sakaraface.jpg   589x590 121984 bytes 2008.08.29

A 6x6" doodle of Sakara's face, since I always draw myself in my sketchbook but never seem to finish anything.

A minor character of mine that I'd like to flesh out more in the future. This started as me trying to remember her over again and eventually turned into a study of how I imagine her build. I highly doubt she'd ever actually go anywhere totally naked(Much less the bush), but it was fun trying to draw a more womanly form. It's also more marker practice, hence the background that didn't quite work like I wanted.

A coffee-colored skunk for marker and anatomy practice. I think he's cute, something about the boyish face and long hair.

Partis Vir

Da-na na-na na-na na-na SHARK MAN. Partis Vir is Latin for 'shark man', I didn't feel like putting such a lame title up there. <_<;

More marker practice with some ugly, streaky, dying warm grey copics and one red prisma.

...it was supposed to be a shark lady, but I couldn't get a good pose to show that. Darn.

More anatomy practice, coupled with me goofing around with my markers.

Behold! An insanely vibrant, red-striped tiger! There isn't nearly enough anthro artwork of big cats where they <i>actually look like</i> big cats.

A facial reference doodled up of my boyfriend's favored character, Rowan. Mostly so I can remember his glowing blue cheek markings...

Oh Sh--!

A trade with Mottenfest that I'm rather pleased with. I didn't quite pull off the Silent Hill flavor he asked for, but I'm still pleased with the horror theme of vomiting tentacles.

Rensis(The rainbow mohawked character)' nose is actually blue, I incorrectly colored it and then failed when I tried to tint it blue. Sorry Mottenfest!

Ink and marker on cardstock, plus a little bit of white conte.

Hexdragon

A completed commission for Ksilebo, a hexdragon of his own version but which I designed final details of.

I'm quite pleased with most of this picture, particularly the painting with color. My monitor is calibrated to be very bright as that tends to equate to what my printer prints. If it looks too dark, turn up your monitor brightness!

This is an example of a client letting me run wild. The stipulations of the commission only involved dimension(Which I admittedly broke and went bigger, but with no charge), some specifics on the character, and that it be digital. Other than that I could do what I pleased. :3 Well pleased I am!
The pose is inspired by Hindu gods, who are well known for their mantra gestures and multi-armed poses. The image is only 20% the original size I colored at.

This was a charcoal experiment in preparation for a series I want to do of my sometimes macabre and often fantastic characters in my Afterworld.

This is Despair, albeit a spikeless version of her. I learned a lot of things, made a lot of mistakes and did a few things right.

Gargoyle Rave

A finished commission for Volpe-de-Fuego over on deviantart. It's her jackal-like gargoyle character Kiya dancing at a New York City rave. It was purposefully modeled after the 'Rave at the Dracana' image, since she liked it so much and my boyfriend(Who the Dracana image was made for) didn't mind at all. The image is pretty big, 19"x24".

Mona, the counterpart to my boyfriend's character Rowan. A beautiful cougar with all the fire and craft a gypsy should have.

She's probably trying some weird new advertising trick, after all, who wouldn't want their fortune told by someone either that hot or that ballsy?

Lazeyka

Part of the Anthro Sketch Exchange, for Mitsene of her general canid Lazeyka. Another colored pencil experiment. There are some things I like and some things I would definitely do different, though I think I did well for a sketch community.
