For this week's trading post over at Yerf, Tarah Fae's caracal tiger mix, Fangs. I had fun doing this one, but it still doesn't look the way I want it to. Originally there was going to be one of my generic firey designs surrounding him eminating from the "rips" in his body. But I didn't have enough time to fill in all that detail before the trading post closed. I think I may be too lazy to fill that in at all.

As a side note, I'm selling a bunch of originals over at Furbid: http://www.furbid.ws/cgi-bin/auction.pl
Check out my deviantart journal for updates on added material.

yes, I CAN draw cats..!

My half of a trade with Shy Myst, for a bundle of feathers. In case anyone didn't know, I'm a total feather addict... XD So this is her character Faun, a cat-like lizardy dragon guy! For some reason I decided to do this one all in watercolour, and I really like the result. I'm straying more and more from pencils, which actually feels good to me. Coloured pencils are cool and all, but they started to feel like a crutch, a backup for whenever I messed up my watercolours. So anyway, I'm satisfied with it!

Guess what I'm afraid of? that's right, invisible rapists.
Just kidding. Just a wierd, but cool looking pose.

This was made in trade for a pile of good feathers I'll be using to make a fan, for the a friend of the person who is giving me the feathers, who apparently has been having a hard time. ;_; Feel better, perso I don't know! and have fun with your ball of tin foil!

A feline princess, who is sad for who-knows-what reason. I was thinking of two of my cat friends, who are also both sad right now, when coloring this, but the whole concept came out of nowhere. o.O; aaaaand, it looks like shit after being scanned...

Felis Lunaris

Another piece for the AFF art show! Did this one in acrylics with some coloured pencil touchups. I'm really starting to like what I can do with acrylics, I fear I'm getting rusty at watercolours. ^^ This piece also serves a double purpose as an art show piece, and as a (late) school assignment. The only stipulation what that it had to be a relatively realistically rendered piece in acrylic, subject matter and everything else was up to me.

Fern Vixen

This painting is for the art show at All Fur Fun, a convention in Washington that I've been invited to as the guest of honor. =3 This is a random fun interpretation of one of their mascots, Fern the fox.

This is all acrylics, and since I never really got into fully acrylic pieces, this is all unfamiliar-ish for me. I love the medium, and I feel like I have a pretty good grasp on it, but I think I can do better in the future as far as my process goes. Perhaps to make painting faster and more efficient.

I had to rush this painting since it was an assignment due in my painting class, but it turned out ok. A lot of the tree is cropped, since it's the most out-of-place thing in this piece, and I didn't feel like scanning this in pieces. In fact, this began as a very dense, dark foresty paiting, but since I was pinched for time, I switch to something quicker but still satisfactory. I like the grass though. =)

I can't sleep tonight, so while looking through old art I decided to ressurect this old girl: http://us-p.vclart.net/vcl/Artists/Shadowolf/pegged_upload.jpg I made some obvious changes, she now has a story rather than being a single art instance. I'm not sure of her name yet, but she's a fighter, a damn good one if she wears so little protection. She always has her knuckles and feet wrapped or covered in black foot bindings/fingerless gloves, because her only fear is hitting an opponent too hard in the wrong way and cutting her tendons on their teeth or jagged broken body. >=) There's a secret to her pipe but I won't say yet.

The results of a try at the random dragon generator: http://psycotica.tripod.com/randomdragon.html
I forget who it was who posted their results of this on VCL first, but it caught my eye, and I thought I'd give it a try. do you have any idea how long it took me to make it THIS SMOOTH!??!?!

Origins

Another commission for Ksilebo!

This one was just plain fun to draw and paint, and has a slight personal touch to it's meaning. I believe all living things were forged from the fires of the universe and of this earth. We belong to, and are part of this existance all together. Never forget your origins as a living being, an animal, a human, and have respect for ALL living beings because they share your legacy of life on this planet.

I was also really inspired by a badass firedancing photo Graywolf showed me recently!

Two badges for awesome people and awesome artists. I look up to both your artwork, Thank you guys for doing these trades with me! ^^ I'm doing the neato "out of the border" thing with my badges mostly for trades and gifts, because I they are my friends I want to do little extra stuff for them

Another experiment with markers and coloured pencils. I really liked the way the dragon head looked in my previously posted doodle dump, so I used the same techniques and colours for this one. Just for fun, nothing I really put a ton of thought into. ^^

Off-topic, I know, but it correlates with another picture I have in here, so I had to upload it. I promise less off-topic pictures from here on out. More dream imagery, from the dream where I was this: http://us-p.vclart.net/vcl/Artists/Shadowolf/pink_child_sm.jpg and Preston was this! It was great, he scared me at first, but then we were good. Well, hard to explain and I don't want to, so you all can speculate.

For a little while there I was constantly drawing Cyrus, he's all over my sketchbook in one thick section. I thought it'd be cool to turn Wolf Nymph into one of his species (mammalian dragon). I've had this in my sketchbook for so long, and I really liked it, so it's about time I did something with it (even if it's not what I originally intended). I have so many sketches I want to go somewhere with and no time for all of them that this is the furthest they will go; no backgrounds, just coloured and given a place in my gallery. I hope I can get to some of the other ones before my sketchbook runs out of paper. If I can do that, I even want to get to a few from my previous sketchbook. In the meantime, back to school and life! <3

Flamecrest Sentry

I was going to save this one for the Further Confusion art show in January, but I couldn't resist putting it up now. Another of my feathered canines, but with a background this time! This 5" X 7" painting was my attempt at making my art cheaper for your guys, by making it in a smaller, yet still enjoyable size. Once I had it sketched though, I got carried away and painted a background in acrylics. I'm going to be double matting this piece in red and black.

So, he's for sale! Please send me a note or at email (wolfnymph AT gmail DOT com) if you are interested.

Done with markers, acrylics and colored pencil on 5" X 7" bristol.

a 23rd birthday and a farewell present for my brother. He's moving out to california to live with his girlfriend in about a month, so I figured I'd send him off with something powerful, like a flaming tiger. It's called 'flaming hobbes' because we are both big fans of Calvin and Hobbes. *grin*

Folded Cranes

Collaberation between myself and Kacey Miyagami! She made the gorgeous lineart, and I put my acrylics to them on illustration board. =3 I found out she was going to All Fur Fun, and decided to approach her for a collaberation. Since I admire her art quite a bit, I was THRILLED when she said yes. I've never done a collaberation like this before, so this was quite a challenge, but also really enjoyable.

Kacey and I are both selling 8 1/2" X 11" prints of this piece, and the original will be for sale at AFF.

This is for my little far away cousin, Anna. She's like my soul sister, my young pack-mate. She's JUST like me when I was that little, wild, uninhibited, a total animal girl. ^^ When she came to visit from Virginia, I didn't baysit her, I hung out with her! It was a blast, pretending to be a wolf, making up games and all that jazz. Man I miss being a kid...

Random animaly guy from my sketchbook who turned out to be a winged fox lion! Coloured him in for fun. ^^ What's he lookin' at that has him so terrified...?

A doodle from a while ago I decided to colour right out of my sketchbook. Working on homework, needed a break... I love this little guy's markings ^^

He has a short story behind him, just a paragraph, and I urge you to read it so you have a feel for him as a character, and not just a doodle. It can be found here: http://www.deviantart.com/view/5466659/

and his name is Sendiri. *grin*

my second piece sold on furbid (kinda) to a friend of mine. It's more of a gift since the price was so low.

Needless to say, I am a huge fan of Hayao Miyazaki and Mononoke Hime is one of my absolute favourites of his. This was inspired by the deamons in that movie, but put in a lighter context. This is my fox spirit. It is no he or she, nor a god or goddess. Just fox, just spirit.

ok, I won't be pansy anymore.. here's the full version of fox wonder, which I had cropped off in an earlier upload. This is my first human-like male mudity pic, and I'm not really used to it, so I flipped out and and uploaded a censored version. Not going to put this on my deviantart site for fear of getting comments like, "penis's are bad! You suck!"
non sexual nudity rocks.

My half of a private art trade with Rebane: http://us.vclart.net/vcl/Artists/Rebane/

Rebane asked for a happy fox in dirty coveralls! So here he is, with a slightly more artsy background than befits a dirty fox mechanic. ^^ The 'M' on his name tag stands for mechanic, because I'm uncreative with names.
