Today on ways your spine doesn't bend! Every once and a while I realize what a bad person I am. I blame it on Mylie (anagraaaams are fun). Trying to express my sea of depression. I don't think I'm doing a good job. D'oh :P She's supposed to be pretty thin.... I think. Mylie is © me.

I'm writing sort of an 'alternate universe' story about my character Emily... And I realized that for it to be even slightly plausable, she'd have to be bald.

That, and I watched the first two episodes of Star Trek: TNG this morning. Does it bother anyone else that Patrick Stewart has looked the same for the last twenty years? Emily is © me.

I've been told to stop inking with whatever I can find >.>

I should probably be told to stop inking ^^

I thought this was pretty dumb and poorly drawn when a first did it, but now that it's a few months after the fact, this strikes me as rather amusing. I love the squirrel that's apparently yelling 'KAHN!' on Emily's head. Emily is © me, Lisa is © Juston DeCristofaro

Somewhere in between 'Casino Royale' and 'You Only Live Twice', I most certainly went mad.

Anyway, Cali's been giving my little Tauren warrior new toys, and in the same night reminded me of my tria markers :D And quite clearly earned (bribed?) this. This would have been so, so much simpler with a working skin tone. I don't lile parts of it... but really, there's too much ink used on it to not show it :P

Since I can't look at this without laughing or burning my eyes out, why not give it to a community that can. I have no idea what to do with it... and doubt I should try. I promise no more of these O.o Winterwing and Emily © Me.

A long outstanding commission. Though I'm not sure if it counts as such if it's free ;)

Still don't quite got that inking thing down. It's crazay! O.o

Oh man. I broke some of my *own* rules in there. :/

I have mixed feelings about 'Happy Feet'. I think it was improperly marketed as a children's movie....it was too long, had no less than four seperate political undertones, and the plot lacked a lot of originality.

But I'll be damned if I didn't like watching the little bastards dance

The entire thing is vector - including my signature. Damn, I do love the live trace option

Art belongs to me.

It's a crime against humanity, how much I had to tone down that shirt. The shirt was f'in awesome XD But then it turned out he commissioned me for the raven, not the shirt ;) This is probably the final version of it, I'm waitin to hear back from him. COMPESSION IS MY ENEMY. Nalfemi is © M. Carpenter Edit: Sorry for re-up, requested change by commissioner.

I've owed art to the FAX2 community for a while, so I nabbed a character who didn't get art last month from their secret-santa-ish person.

Her creator's reference pictures seemed to give her a more humanoid face, so I went with that. I don't even know how many times I had to redraw this thing before I got it scanned in. Blaerg!

The best part was when I had to take a break to spend 2.5 hours on my drawing homework (ps, 6.5 hours to go).

Gryllus yelled at me because my ducks were too 'Disney-esk'. Honestly, ducks are the ugliest things I ever saw.

Quack. Emily and Winterwing are © Shannon Fowler

Just something where myself and 5 other artists of the duck variety chose a color. Most everyone chose emotional qualities. Red being something of a lustful AND insane emotion, I'd rather just stick to the horrid color itself. This isn't the 'final' version, as that had to have a white background, btu I found that ruined a lot fo the contrast of saturation and non. So, grey it is.

I don't much like red. Working with RL pigment, red is one of the weakest, and hardest for factories to fix correctly. Most reds I come accross are faded or icky. PLUS red is one of the first colors to fade from images, or painted rooms, etc.

Red's all nice when you first look, but what primitive uncouthness lies benethe?

This looks an awful lot like Senotay. Senotay's © me. lol.

The similarities between Emily and Starbuck kind of worry me. Both are snarky little blond girls, with a fracked up right knee, and pilots.

The only thing for it was a flightsuit based off that horrid brown/blue color scheme. Whoever designed those boots needs a good whack with a champagne bottle filled with acid.

Emily belongs to me, as does the art.

Hmm. Winterwing and Emily meet.

This conversation goes something like:
"Who did this to you?"
"Well. He's about nine feet high and cranky."
"*What*?"

I'm not too worried about her. Most of it isn't hers. MWAHAHaaaaaa.

Lame background.
Winterwing and Emily are © me.

A sand demon concept. RAR! Isn't he just evil? He's © me

Another commission I've owed for a while. This is somewhat different from the concept sketch I had, but I think it's much cooler anyway (I would). I promise I will stop doing pinuppy stuff. Later. Sapphire is © Ravette

I'll be willing to ignore the fact it's drawn on the back of my Choir events calander if you are.

Uh huh.

Sedia (name and design pending....) are © me.

Not even I'm too sre what it is All I know is that I was bored and everyone needs a generic fox-like furry. She's © Shannon Fowler

The jury is still out on this one. May dissapear fairly fast, may not. All I know is I won't be joining the watercolor society anytime soon. Late submission for the Yerf Secret Santa-esk trade of october. Like. Really late. Ambrose is © Jenny Biggs, artwork © Shannon Fowler

Have you had your surrealism today?

Someone said that the human head was made up of a sphere and a cone. I obviously heard something different. Fleecy the Unfortunate Sheep is © me.

Sorry if there's any splotches I missed. I learned today why we don't play with india ink next to our open sketchbooks (we're smart artist, yes we is!). Anyway, uhmn. It's a duck. Winterwing is © me, the logo on his jacket is probably © Disney >.>

Technicolor and oh-so fine. Soma is © Shannon Fowler (because my name is apparently still not me >.>)

To answer the question.... NO, these aren't going to be made into prints. Finding bizzare ways to eat cute, fuzzy animals is not funny. You're cool if you get it. Squirrelly is © me

First off...GAH. This now holds the record for the longest time I've ever spent on a photoshop peice. So much....FUR! *hair ripping*

In any case, a little fun with Talathia. Back when I first drew in her '99, her hair was blond. It's changed now, but I kinda liked it better this way. Heh. Tala struts on the beach, carefully re-arranging her clothing and the black pearls she stole from someone's wife. It's impossible to do an image search for 'black pearl' and not get Johnny. That's right. Just try it.

Uhmn. I suppose you can't tell it's anthro, expect the hint of the beak attatched to his head... but it is! I also promise you he is not smothering her.

I'd forgotten how hard it is to draw 'bed scenes'. Especially when no one really feels like posing for you. Hense the bizzare place it cuts off. Winterwing and Emily are © me

Pencils are fun!... I like how dark this looks. Mind you, I've been in a bad mood of late. Emily and Tom are © me.

A bizzare thing that came out of the sketch-group this week. The idea for him came to me last night. I fear a story on the horizon. Damn.

Parts I like, parts I don't... but it really is just a bunch of marker over a sketch

Art and character belongs to me.

Uhmn. Doodle, mostly, for the 67th Yerf Trading Post. Fun, if messy and stupid.
