One of my drawing classes took a trip to the natural history museum in Denver to draw all the dead stuffed creatures and fossils, and I seem to have spent a lot of time at the musk oxen. I never realized before, but they are really cool looking animals, kinda cute. They're just big lumps of powerful arctic fuzz! So I created a musk ox character. I think I botched the background majorly. I made the mistake of adding bright colours where I don't think they belong, so I might do a portrait of him with more planning and a more appropriate background for another project. So this is Peyton! He looks powerful and scary, but he's really just a big marshmallow. <3

These phantoms everywhere
Ones we trust
Breaking us apart
Luring you away...
How much longer can I hold onto you..?
How much longer will you stay..?

Pocket Dragon

A little congratulations gift for my boyfriend, a teeny picture if his Black Dragon. Done in markers, Acrylics and colored pencil, it's the exact size of a driver's license so he can carry it around with him. He doesn't have much space to hang big art right now. XD

If anyone wants one for themself, shoot me an email at shadowolf444 AT msn DOT com ! I'm taking three commission of these. =3

For yerf trading post numbah 44! This seems to be all I have time for as far as non-school art goes nowadays. I am working on a commission or two in brief intermittent sessions, but I'm really not getting much personal artwork done. Besides, I love this trading post stuff! It's a great excuse to ruin other people's characters with my experimental painting crap.

oh yeah, done in watercolour, gouache and india ink.

this dragon is not of my particular creation, but rather my boyfriend told me what it looked like over the phone and I drew it. Short version of the story, this is probably what he would look like if he were a dragon, seeing as how he dreamt it. I have a dragon form kinda too (meaning I had a really clear dream like he did about being a dragon and what I looked like), but my only drawing of it looks crappy as hell.

I added a little sky background to this older piece in hopes it would increase the chances of it being bought. I am in need of a bit of money lately, so I went through my things from a few months ago and found this. It was inspired by a couple of my friends who were sad at the time.

Anyway, she's for sale here: http://www.furbid.ws/cgi-bin/auction.pl?furry_r&1074842933

Promise Land

On Monday september 17th, my little brother, companion, best friend and dog passed away. Wolfy was 16 years old, and was suffering from an encroaching brain tumor. There was nothing more we could do but ease his suffering.... He lived a long and happy life, and up until he died my life revolved entirely around him. Now I feel like the only thing I can do is try to live life to the fullest without him, and to use my art to show everyone how wonderful he was.

I guess this is me as some kind of dog horse (don't know why) if anyone is curious what the heck kind of creature this is. And Wolfy is an American Eskimo dog, with a little sword!

yet another drawing of Shade and her sand dragon partner. I've decided to name him Cyrus after the king of Persia in 600-529 BC and the coolest knight of guardia in 600 AD. God I'm weird...

anyway, Shade and Cyrus, being all cuddly like. Cyrus flashes his sexy green eyelids and raises his spines as a warning to those who wish the harm or claim Shade. And just to have those dragon bedroom eyes. *mrowr* Shade looks much more femanin in this one than the others, despite the lack of boobs.

My contribution to the "Cake" portfolio Frisket is organizing. A print of this will be distributed along with prints of similar themes from other artists. I don't know exactly who is in and who is still deciding on contributing, but so far there's a good list of awesome artists working on this. If you're interested in getting your hands on one of these portfolios, keep an eye out for updates on this project in my journal. Or contact Frisket, since she's head-honcho on this deal.

Done with watercolours, coloured pencil and gouache on 11" X 14" bristol.

I don't know where this came from. I was just screwing around with watercolors when a vague outline came out. I filled it in and went over it in some colored pencils and got this.

First assignment for my Basic Illustration class, done all in pencil with a bit of my ebony pencil for the darkest darks. =3 This is basically the finished version. Gave it a slight sepia tone for fun. Originally I was going to colour this in photoshop afterwards, but I think that will have to wait for another day, or I'll leave it like this.

"I willingly give myself up to you, knowing I'm safe no matter what your decision will be"

thought I'd finally upload this here. A much enjoyed commission for Rose Quoll, simple pencil on white paper. I highly enjoyed this one. After drawing one too many wolves, cats, and other such apex predators and canid things, a smaller creature's form is fun. Afterall, I've been reading the Redwall books for the first time, so I'm leaning more towards creatures like mice, squirrels and badgers. Finished commission, no critiques please! Enjoy Rose

Alright, one more... This one's my MLP version of my current love, Preston. Normally he's a rabbit but I can't help but turn my loved ones into those loveable, deformed, hoofless PONIES! XD If you want to critique you may, but it's done now so I won't really be using your critique. Maybe for later pony projects I shall consider your advice?

..enjoy

An animal persona design for someone who will likely make frequent appearences in my art to come. I had the general idea of what he wanted, made a little lineart doodle and whipped out a ton of (slightely) different designs. aaaaand, I just realized two of those are the same, but oh well. The difference between the bottom two is that one has red freckles and the other has brown freckles.

Decided to go with the bottom left; red freckled. I coloured the original lineart, but it rather sucks considering it's right out of my sketchbook and the original is two inches long... A good session of character designing over all! I love doing this stuff. ^^

Another of my contributions to Grey Wolf's corset portfolio. I just couldn't resist doing a red version with Shadow Wolf instead of Wolf Nymph. Yep, this is now the official 'Shadow Wolf', just a black and grey version of Wolf Nymph with red eyes. I may do more on her design later, but for the portfolio's sake she's just like this for now. She's another side of me I guess you could say, artistically at least. Maybe my more aggressive side or something. new character, new colour and corset design, new leaf creatures too! My cat and dog are in there somewhere. Anyone who knows them will probably laugh at how I put them in there (my cat is a fat expert killer and my dog has a great love for bananas).

Halfblood Maiden

Can you tell I'm on a black and red kick lately?

This was a sketch from my last sketchbook that begged to be colored. I actually messed up on the coloring and struggled for most of the night trying to fix it, and it turned out pretty darned good! She is meant to be half dragon half human, but she looks like a demon I think.

A few days ago I was thinking about a couple of my favourite artists, the way they work with light and shadow and colour, and what a few of them have said to me about how to use it. I wanted to make something with a good bit of natural glow, and this old drawing came to mind: http://us-p.vclart.net/vcl/Artists/Shadowolf/wolf_dancer.jpg
So I thought I'd redraw it in accordance with a couple of ideas about light play and markers I have. And this was the result!

So prints available as usual if anyone is interested. Contact me if you are.

After I saw a recently snapped photo of a redwing blackbird, I was reminded of how much I loved them as a kid. They used to be among my favourite birds, included in ravens, red tailed hawks, fishing eagles, owls of all kinds and hummingbirds. I liked the way they looked enough to create a dragon character out of their design. But this particular one doesn't look a thing like the original I thought up many years ago, I can't recall it's exact details. Anyway, random bird themed dragon from my sketchbook!

"You were a guide for me, you showed me many things, and I am disheartened by your departure, but I know that the lessons you taught me will strengthen the foundation for the rest of my life."

This has been in the works for quite some time. It's my first true mixed media commission. This piece is something more than a normal commission for me, I became very emotionally involved with the story behind it.
