Commission for my friend, Sara.

commish sketch awaiting approval..

Badge sketch of miracle the bull. Rather difficult. I tried to merge the canine teeth with the bulls anatomy. Buh. I hope he likes it.

Been working on lots of commissions/things to sell lately. hence the lack of personal art and whatnot >.>

I've been really frustrated and pissed off lately due to the recent shit in my life so I drew this to vent...a were-melo. My scanner mauled this.

Art Trade with MunkehBug, of her liddle horsie character.
Added the shadow on the bottom to show that the horses back legs are suppost to be a liddle higher. Orelse without it I felt it'd look like its got an elevating ass, which is not the case. Its justthe pose
I watercolored this on Bristol, then added colored pencil over it. The paper buckled a bit. The backround is done in marker.
The neck looks short , but I beleive this is an illusion thats being created with the mane and its placement: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v392/mel666/Random%20ShiZ/redline.jpg
So considering that redline to show the neck,its not so bad.

Commission for Newenglander123. He asked that I draw myself as an anthropomorphic My Little Pony. I made myself as a little unipeg. This was harder then it looks. MLP's don't have real anatomy(obviously)so adding its head to a human-like body was pretty difficult without it looking awkward.

Dialogue and clothing are to his specifications.
I'm not happy with the outcome of this(infact I like the sketch better), but hopefully he'll like it.

A doodle for Myst of DA. This is her character in her samoyed form, I'm not sure if she is officially a samoyed still or not. Fluffy doogies. I did this because she payed extra on one of my auctions, and I had the time for it.

I've been meaning to do something for gypsymoon too, who also has been very generous, but at that moment in time it didn't work out.

I made a colored version of this for her, but didn't bother scanning it because of the light colors, my scanner would never be able to take it. So just know the markings are all there and stuff. I think the only thing I left out was her tie ;___;

I'll be sending this off with her package on monday.

crap.

New Nimrahj character I'm working on which will be symbolic to pride. I'm thinking of naming him Gaurav. I was looking through my art when I was a kid and saw I drew some kitties with rhino-like horns, decided to put that in a new character.

Started making him kind of "were"ish here. All nimrahjes have diffrent forms.

Haha you can tell I was getting all confused with the placement of the horn on the right. Yea, I'm kina retarded XD

A quick sketch done for practice of a new technique. The anatomy is alittle wonky here and there, no refs were used. The origional sketch was traced over with my cheap home made light box with a colored pencil, so in otherwords the excersise was to practice coloring with no inking.

This is my little sisters character by the way, NightProwler. As for her powers, their somewhat similar to Raven's from Teen Titans(hence the way it is around her hands), but not exactly. I don't like how the marker came out, but oh well. Its just practice afterall =P

Much needed vent art. Symbolic to all the anger I've been feeling during the past several months. It was a nice release, but I'm rather unsatisfied with this peice otherwise.

old work in progress of my "rage against the white devil" peice.

Sneak peak of a work in progress.

This started off as a much needed anthro ref for Sekhmet(I prefer my anthrofied form over my feral one), but it turned into perspective practice ;__; ,I'm horrible. I need to kill my artlist,but I'm slow.

I'll upload the whole body when I fix up the anatomy XD ..ugh..

I'M A FIRE STARTA TWISTED FIRESTARTA.

These are quick doodles i did during the picnic today. My moms bf kept putting down the window on the highway to bug the shit out of me and my hair went oober messy =( ..so thats why i look angry there.

I likes the little cutesie anime-ish head.

MLP practice for a commission I need to do.
I got a commission to draw my own character ponified, so I couldn't say no to that.

This is just a doodle to present to him to see if thats the style he wants it in, the actual commission sketch isnt really started yet.

Much needed vent art. Been working on this on and off since August. I'm glad I didn't avoid the background, even if it sucks.

Entering Unholy Grounds

Marker on Sekhmet/Pyralis,inks(0.05) and colored pencil on card stock. I'm really unhappy with the scan. Trust me when I say this looks 10 thousand times better in person. The general fact that the background is so grainy(I put a lot of layers, like 6 each but I couldn't get it to go darker, wtf)pisses me off. I couldn't use a marker base on the background cause I don't have the right colors.
This generally symbolizes facing your problems, or the worst aspects of yourself.

Ancient Queen

A portrait of an American Lioness.

Another crappy scan. The paper warped after using water color, so that dark spot up there isn't dirtyness, its a shadow. The drawing is actually 9x12, which didn't fit in my scanner.

I'm rather inexperienced with wet media. I bought some watercolor paper awhile ago, and decided to try it out on this. This was my first REAL attempt at a watercolor, colored pencil piece. The whole thing was done with a first layer of watercolor. The background is sloppy, but the salt effect finally worked out for me properly. I just need to learn how to control my brush/colors better.

This was a nice experiment. I like the technique, and hope to get better at it,cause as of right now,this piece screams NOOB at me.

Ah well, back to more college portfolio work.

Work in progress of a vent art peice I'll never finish. I just got discouraged with the anatomy. I still like the idea("Queen of Broken hearts"), and I might just restart this.

Progess on a peice featuring Hakan(pronounced Hay-Kun) I'm working on on and off.

FUCK YOU COCAINE. FUCK. YOU.

and while im at it...

FUCK YOU TOO, CHILD ABUSE.

vent art.
I probably should have cropped this dang thing since theirs so many blank spaces, and not everyone can read theban. Sorry. Im kinda lazy XD

Sketch of a sad Selena done at work on my break many several months ago. Decided to scan it like almost a year later o.o

The Dominant Female (Sketch)

I went back and fixed the angle of her face that was bothering me earlier. I like it better now.

Unfortunetly(for some anyway..) this is not going to be a full body piece. I was inspired by lolita's take on art nouveau, so this is a torso piece. It'd distract too much from the design had I done a full body anyways. The composition would not flow properly IMO.

Close Up

Close up of Sekhmet's face of the line art reference.

I spent 3 days working on this. The wings alone took me 3 hours and a half. Even if theirs some anatomy errors,I won't be hard on myself here cause I don't draw equines very often.I also hope the fact I ran out of room doesn't take away too much from the peice.I busted through an arts block, so I'm satisfied either way.
This is a re-design of my unicorn character Selena. She brings in the night. Added the curved horn, and star markings.
I cut her out and pasted her onto some purdy rainbow paper. My cutting skills are amazing..I know. *sarcasm*

this is when I was sketching out selena.
