My first attempt at an animation cel style illustration. It proved more difficult than I'd previously imagined as the paint likes to peel up if applied too thickly and I didn't have a brown so I had to mix one up. All in all, a good learning experience.

Talk about hanging around! Just a little work in progress because I hadn't really seen any pics of anthro bats hanging upside down at the time I drew it. Desperately needs color.

A centaurette headed for a day of fun and sun at the beach. I used a picture of a horse for reference on the legs. I orginially envisioned her as black but am entertaining using other colors in a color version.

A suggestion pic just like the now-what one, but it was my suggestion this time to have a gryphon and a unicorn playing a video game. I find it very interesting that both my friend and I had the unicorn beating the gryphon in both of our pics.

A sketch of my great white shark anthromorph character, Bryce, as he emerges from another brisk swim. Still not too sure about the fins on his arms. Sharks are difficult creatures to morph.

While this piece isn't exactly anthropomorphic, it does remain one of my best watercolor renderings. I'm afraid I tend to apply watercolors so they turn out looking like gauche (a paint that is somewhere between watercolors and acrylics)but I'm still pleased with the way it turned out.

My first upload to the VCL is my pokemorph version of Cubone, an idea inspired by a little wind-up model kit I received as a gift. I envisioned this picture instantly after putting the model together and it would not leave me alone until I put pencil to paper. I saw him as a wandering loner type and found out sometime later that Cubone is indeed referred to as the "lonely" pokemon.

A couple of characters, Dulas and Camielle, that I based on an armadillo and a camel, not exactly your run-of-the-mill anthro critters. I really like the differences between the two, he short but broad, she tall but slender.

A scratchboard piece created to satisfy an editorial illustration assignment in art school. I hate editorial illustrations but it was a cool way to finally render a dragon. I'm pleased with the dragon but I'd sure like the time to redo him without all of that silly lettering.

like anyone even cares...

A pencil sketch of my Western Diamonback dragon, an odd idea that came to me while watching a nature program and sorting through old dragon sketches. I plan to color him in the near future but doubt there will be any major changes since rattlesnakes tend to be colored like dirt anyway.

A sketch of the very first meeting between Dani and I when we were just little dragons. I've been told several (and I mean several) times by a friend just how cute it is, so consider yourselves warned.

An inspiration that came to me while watching a basketball game on TV. What would be more natural than having a zebra playing a giraffe one on one. It's still a rough sketch but the foregrond figures are shaping up nicely.

Four furry ladies that work in a nightclub called the Bestiary. Clockwise from the upper left are: Gabriella Carnadine, a wolf, Llar Khai, a phoenix, Rosita Ruiz, a Meso-American feathered dragon, and Phoebe & Clark, a mare with her serpentine friend.

A somewhat dated sketch of my mate, Danielle, and I. This was rendered mainly to illustrate the height of both of us. It also features our society's version of formal wear. I hope to update and color this in the near future.

A quick picture that came from a friend's suggestion when I was having trouble locating my creative energy after a tough day at work. My friend's suggestion? Draw a dragon holding an orb and looking perplexed. I'm not certain if that is perplexed but I certainly wouldn't want to be in his predicament.

AHHH! The horror, the horror!! A very, very, very old portrait sketch of myself that I'm posting just to prove to the world that anyone can get a lot better with practice.

An animation cel style self portrait. I've deliberately left off the wings and tail as I feel slightly incomplete at the moment. My admiration goes out to those that ink and paint the thousands of cels necessary to create motion. That paint isn't easy to work with on acetate.

A picture over a few years in the making, I actually started with the beak and eyes but didn't like how I handled her eyebrows (too graphic and cartoony for what I was looking for) so I put it aside for a couple of years. After finishing another long-time color project a few weeks ago, I decided the time was right to have a go at finishing this one up and I did mere hours ago. I'm glad I waited as I know much more about how to render feathers now than when I started this one.

Another tender graphite piece like 'Touching'. This one took a little over 6 hours to shade properly and started out as a fairly crude sketch in a little lined notebook I was using a couple of years ago as a sketchbook. Even if color never touches this, I'll consider it as finished a piece as anything I have colored.

A graphite piece where I tried to convey a great deal of devotion, wonder, delight, and maybe a bit of hesitation in one little moment just before a very passionate kiss. I really like how the expressions, hands and manes turned out in this.

My most current self portrait. Unfortunately it was based on a much older sketch and the wings are too small. Just haven't had the time to fix them right now. Soon hopefully.

A little something I drew up at work while waiting for the dinosaur Mac I'm stuck with to print a color file. This took about 25 minutes to get all the colors right and the file still hadn't printed yet. I think it's time the bosses got a new computer. Anyway, this is what I might look like as a gryphon, portrait wise. I kinda like it.

Computer rendered in Freehand and computer colored in Photoshop for use as the main logo on my webpage.

Inteneded to act as a metaphor for my spirit, it seems as though the vivid shade of the blood makes this more literal than I had hoped. This piece came as a bit of a surprise as it demanded more of me in ways no other picture I've done before ever has and hopefully never will again. Still, it is exactly as I envisioned it, not something I'm usually capable of, and it is one of the few works I've been able to complete lately.

This pic got it's start out of sheer boredom during marketing class in art school. I used a cover photo from Elle magazine that was sitting near my desk for reference but decided to do the cover model as a lady zebra. Guess I can't stand lecture classes even in art school.
