I Will Be Your Mask

This is a really old piece, but I liked the concept still. Enough to finish it despite some anatomical issues. Background is a scrapbook paper I bought.

Hershel

Yeah, no creative title because I’ve just run out it seems. My character Hershel from a novel. He’s part gazelle in case it wasn’t obvious enough. I clipped the background out of magazine, but I’ve forgotten what that magazine was.

Lineart was pretty old, but I liked it so I finished it.

Saucy’s Visit

A good friend flew down this year to visit me and we had loads of fun. I drew her as a giraffe, her favorite animal, and depicted us doing some of what we did while she was here – playing with geckos (Sakura is in her hand and Valentine is on my shoulder)…. naked.

Hypo Autumn

The gecko is modeled after a gecko that hatched this year for a breeder than might actually be the first hypo crested gecko. The background is some old scrapbook paper I had.

A Luck That Can Never Be

Originally a commission that was canceled (the client decided she wanted something entirely different after I’d sketched and inked this piece) I pulled it out of The Vault after my hard drive crashed to work on and waste some time at work. I used this piece to test out some watercolor techniques and my pastels. Overall, I’m quite pleased with the piece. Likely because I had no expectations to meet.

A Siamese cat luck dragon.

Warrior Against Wolves

Part of my dog breeds project. The Irish Wolfhound, wielding a sword and bow goes head to head against a wolf of old Ireland.

The Wolfhound is wearing traditional 17th century Irish common man’s clothing.

I think I started this in ’06 or maybe ’07 and pulled it out to finish after my hard drive crashed. At the time I only expected to be without it for a few days so I was working on things I had never finished as an effort to occupy my time until I had it back.

Fine And Dandy

“You know… I’ve never quite been fine and dandy. I’ve been dandy, but not fine. Then there are times when I am fine… but not dandy. Not quite dandy. In the vicinity of dandy. Approaching dandyhood, but not dandy. Back, four years ago, time stood still when I was both fine and dandy. Yet I couldn’t truthfully ever say I was fine and dandy because nobody asked.”

Completed in two days (record time here) and submitted to this years State Fair it got an Honorable Mention. Guess I’m kind of proud since at least every piece of crap there doesn’t get a ribbon, unlike some other cases. There was some really horrid art there this year, but it was better than last year. And at least BOS was actually worthy of it’s placing.

It’s of a Betta Coccina and a Blood Flower (type of milkweed).

The original is FOR SALE: $25.00 + $2.00 shipping (USA & Canada).

Cdt Commander Nadaj Vargas

Commission of the original character Cdt Commander Nadaj Vargas as an ocelot anthro. Both the scans and photos of this are awful compared to the original. This is the best I could get.

It took me forever, but I eventually did get it the way I wanted. My only complaint is I messed up a little on the color scheme of the wrestling tricot. I only noticed after it was too late.

Second set of tattoo designs for Fireeyes’ contest. I like these much better, actually. And after finally looking over the other entrants... I feel unoriginal with the heart-ish one, lol! I didn't see any yin-yang things going on though, which surprised me, but I didn't look at them all.

I included two versions of the one, with and without the added lines.

Tattoo design for Fireeyes’ contest. Lots of symbolism, but due to VCL's 800 character description limit, I'm not able to go into detail.

The original is for sale for $25.00 (that includes shipping to anywhere in the US), contact me if you are interested in purchasing this piece. You can find my e-mail below. It looks far better in person; trust me. This scan does it no justice, because it’s one of the few pieces I’m quite proud of.

Workplace Uniform #2 - Packer

For three days of my life I worked in a bottle manufacturing plant. My official title was “Packer”. Dignified, huh? My job was to take bottles out of a bin the machine dumped them into and place them in a box in a certain order. I’d switch machines halfway through my shift. There were a couple machines where I only had to inspect the bottles.

It was pure hell. On the third day, I quit.

Anyway, thought I’d do little pictures for each of the jobs I’ve worked at. This was the uniform for this job (my second job).
