Say hello to Becky \r\nRebekah O'Hare is a bunny that I came up with months ago when I decided that I wanted to create a character that will become synonymous with my name. Just like Chester and Zig-Zag. \r\nShe's Scottish and a bit of a Domme. So you can expect to see more of her. ;o) \r\n\r\nDone with pencil crayons (Berol Canadiana) and watercolors. \r\nBuy Prints Here: http://sumarra.reddra.com \r\n\r\nBecky is © Reddra Designs. \r\n

Second picture in my becky series, titled 'Blue Ribbons', this one I chose to concentrate more on using different line widths than my usual quest for good shading. So colored pencils and ink pens were my tools this time. \r\n\r\nBecky and the art is © Reddra Designs. \r\n

'Bunny Cleavage!' (10.05)\r\nA pic I colored in ShyBoar's sketchbook at Conifur.\r\nRebekah "Becky" O'Hare is © Sumarra Pethran.\r\nTria Markers and Color Pencils.

Third pic of this lovely bunny, titled "Redhead in a Red Dress", in the series and I find I really enjoy drawing her. Particularly using this style. \r\n\r\nColored Pencils & Ink. \r\nBecky and art is © Reddra Designs. \r\n

This one came to me as a commission. Requested as simply 'a dragon' I had to dig deep to find her. It's been a long time since I've drawn something from scratch like that so it was good practice.\r\n\r\nInk & Watercolors on watercolor paper. My first time with the proper paper and I rather enjoyed it.\r\n\r\n© Reddra Designs. 11 '02

'Scarecrow' (12.05) A commission for Doc McDowel. This one is a nice change from my usual fare. I tried Acrylics for the first time here since doing paint-by-numbers as a child. It was interesting to see how well and how horribly they blended with watercolors.\r\n\r\nMediums - Acrylics, Watercolors, Tria Markers, and Color Pencils.\r\n\r\n© Sumarra Pethran http://sumarra.reddra.com

An old pic I've been wanting to color since 1999. You can see the b/w sketch in with my other art here at VCL to compare if you like. I changed her apperance a bit from that old pic to try and make the character more consistent. \r\n\r\nThe artwork and Guepurrneh (aka Purrrring Dragon) is © Reddra Designs. 6 `02 \r\n

A Scottish Wolf? I'm not sure. Daniel is a pic trade I did with LemurKat. She did a lovely pic of my character in return for one of hers. \r\n\r\nArtwork is © Reddra Designs and Daniel is © his creator, Lemurkat. 9 `02\r\n

'Your place or mine?' (1/04)\r\n\r\nAnd old doodle revisted thanks to the suggestion of DariusGreyWind.\r\n\r\nMediums: Markers, Watercolors, Gel Pens, and Pencil, on Bristol.\r\n\r\n© Reddra Designs

wheee! I just -had- to, hehe. (1/04)\r\n\r\n© Reddra Designs

(9.05) This is the commission for the winner of my 'Name That Fox' contest. This is Kjata for Ulario of Furtopia.org. He is copyrighted to her and the art is © Sumarra Pethran.\r\n\r\nTria Markers, Color Pencils, Bristol.

A rework of the previus protrait to include a more presentable background. This piece is available in prints. \r\n\r\nArt is © Reddra Designs and Klio is © her player on Taps. 8`02 \r\n

Little Sleeper is a commission for a local friend here of his character, Elix. He's a youngish house cat that seemed to turn out very cute. I'm thrilled with applying newly learned techniques for the brushes I have and the results pleased me.\r\n\r\nElix is © his creator Simon Knowles.\r\nThe art is © Reddra Designs.

'Mac' (12/04)\r\nA commission left over from CFNW04 of a very interesting character combined from a cat, wolf, and horse. It was an exciting challenge to combine these creatures.\r\nMarkers and Colored Pencils on Watercolor paper.

'Mac' - revised (9.05)\r\n\r\nThe first commission went over so well that I was recommissioned to draw her again with some slight modifications.\r\n\r\nBristol, Tria Markers, and Color Pencils.

'Mastwork' (2.06)\r\nThis was done for Califur06's art show. Mitch De Le Guardia was kind enough to give me permission to use N'Duk, one of his characters, for the pic. Since he's GOH this time around I thought it would be nice to see more of his chracters at the pirate themed con.\r\n\r\nTime - 2 1/2 hours\r\nMedium - Tria Markers

A commission for a friend of mine that was supposed to get out before christmas. She is the North Forest Spirit Bear as described by Peace. Watercolors and ink.\r\n\r\n© Reddra Designs. 12 `02

Here is the finished and colored version of Paws and Claws, the mascots for P.A.W.S. - FURst CONtact. A brand new furry con that is happening this summer! [ http://www.pawscon.ca ] \r\n\r\nPaws and Claws are © P.A.W.S. and the artwork is © Reddra Designs. 6`02 \r\n

This is what happens when I don't sleep enough. 'Sea Dragon' here popped into my head and was so playful that I had to draw it. I feel like it's a mix between eastern and western style with a splash of otter thrown in for good measure. The result is very pleasing. \r\nI was chatting with some other artists and found some tricks to using Pencil Crayons, so I decided to try them out on this pic. I don't think I will ever do a full page with only that medium again since it took close to 12 hours to color, blend, and shade. \r\n\r\nBuy Prints Here: http://sumarra.reddra.com \r\n\r\nSea Dragon is © Reddra Designs. \r\n

(2.06) A new color of Sethrech K'rath for my character booklet.\r\n\r\nTime - 2 hours\r\nMedium - Tria Markers and Color Pencil.

'She's Mine' (5/05)\r\nThis started as a little something for my friend Shadarack Tailroam but it turned into an art trade. This is Shad and his pet (who still hasn't told me what her character name is) so the characters are both © Josh Huhges for now, and the art is © Sumarra Pethran\r\nMedium - Tria Markers and color pencils on Bristol.\r\nTime - approx. 10 hours just for coloring.

'She's Mine' (5/05)\r\nI decided to put a background on it for a nice full color print. I'm not as happy with it as I am with how Shad and his girl turned out. But I'm getting better.\r\nMedium - Tria Markers.\r\nTime - at least 8 hours.\r\nTotal time - 18+ hours.

This is the first time in a long time I drew something just for me. It's been a while since I tried to draw an idea without using any input from anyone else so I had to blow off some cobwebs, hehe.\r\n\r\nThis was the first thing I drew at the Art Jam I attend once a month in Seattle. So when it came time to add color I was all ears for some better techniques. And thanks to Tasho, I've taken another step up in my work. Yay!\r\n\r\nThis piece is done with Berol Canadiana coloring pencils (better than Prisma colors in my limited experience) and watercolors. Not a drop of ink has touched this canvas and I _really_ like the effect. I intend to do more with this new style!\r\n\r\nShadowdragon and art is © Reddra Designs. 1 `03

Another commission done! "Border Collie Barely Covered" was done on Bristol using watercolors and colored pencils within about 8 hours from first draft to last stroke. \r\nSharp kangadog is © his creator and the art is © Reddra Designs. 5 `03

Working with Jasc PSP 7 I am learning a better color medium. I'm happy with the results so far. Sumarra is © Reddra Designs. 4 `01

An experimentation with water colors and ink. I find this meduim very nice to work with and it gives great results. Unfortunately the background was an after thought and it shows. She's no character in particular, just a lovely subject to draw. Tabby is © Reddra Designs. 2`01 \r\n

'Try and take it from me' (colored version) \r\nShe's fiesty! And she needs training. *grin* Not quite sure what kind of dog she is, but she looks like a mix between Beagle, Afgan, and Collie? Your guess is as good as mine.\r\n\r\nMediums: Pencils, Microns, Gel Pens, and Markers, on Bristol.\r\n\r\n© Reddra Designs 1 '04

'Toby - Flirt' (02.06)\r\nIt's Toby again and he's being a flirt. Started as sketch for character reference and I liked it too much to leave it at that.\r\n\r\nTime - 2 hours\r\nMedium - Tria Markers

Thanks to Shadarack for tips on water coloring! This has turned out to be a much less stressful, and more fun, endeavor because of that. \r\n\r\nSethrech is a D&D and Taps character of mine so he and the artwork is © Reddra Designs. 5`02
