This is the crayon rough for a painting sold at last year's FC. I like this version better. I can't do enough with crayons. This was supposed to be one of four in a series, something like a 'deadly sins' thing that never panned out. ©2001 Thomas Blue.

For Mutley, as he's a smartass. ©2004 Thomas Blue/Mutley.

This is a rough for the next painting I'm working on. I found in this case that it really helped to play with things in Painter first before I mucked up the background. Just a cheetah playing B-ball. ©2002 Thomas Blue.

A crayon rough for a finished painting, as usual, I like the sketch better. This is City, from FM and Taps, a very cool cat. He's got so many possibilities as his wardrobe changes with the wind. Check out Paf's version of this character in his directory. Character ©2001 his player (posted with permission) image ©2001 Thomas Blue.

This is an almost finished painting, with just a few things here and there to tweak and add. I wanted to throw something up as it's been so long since I've done so. The original is not nearly so bright as this. ©2002 Thomas Blue.

Sketch for painting Eddie2. I actually did the sketch halfway through the painting. Had to get the lines right.

This was the crayon prelim for 3 Dukes. Something I threw together while watching TV. I want to do more with city-stuff, though I need to get back to a real one to get some referance. The painting for this is in my main directory. ©2001 Thomas Blue.

Sketch for "Moshrhino." ©2002 Thomas Blue.

My first nude here. A couple friends were asking me to add "d*ck" to a pic, and I did this one. I don't generally do nudes at all. This one sort of works. ©2002 Thomas Blue.

Another abstract nude. Next step is to paint one of these things. © 2002 Thomas Blue.

The closest thing I've done to cubist-porn. I kinda like it. *shrug* ©2002 Thomas Blue.

Totally out of character, I sketched this while watching a bit of Kamen Rider Black RX last night (one of many Japanese superhero shows, but NOT Power Rangers). It's not really abstracted at all, just heightened the foreshortening a bit. Just a bit of pencil in the sketchpad. ©2002 Thomas Blue.

This is a second go at an earlier idea. Redrawn in pencil and test colored in Painter Classic. ©2002 Thomas Blue.

A friend asked me to do this in his sketchbook, and I realized ( a long island iced tea not withstanding) that I never do sketchbooks, but mostly as no one asks. I also rarely know what to draw. But I did this one, and it came out ok. ©2002 Thomas Blue.

Drew this in the AC Zoo on saturday, sort of in response or inspired by the fursuit crowd. ©2004 Thomas Blue.

This one's nearly done as well, and is only going to have a couple of lines straightened and small details added. It's called "son of the Samurai," and is supposed to have some suggestive elements. I was inspired by a book called "Fruits," which is a photo journal of Tokyo street kids that dress in ways that make ravers look like uniformed school kids. ©2002 Thomas Blue.
