The love of my life bought me a graphics tablet yesterday as a "no reason what so ever" surprise present. Having installed it today this is the first thing I have made! :)

I'm trying to design a web site and this was the trial to how I wanted part of it to look....

yeah.

::sings the "PHOTOSHOP WILL MAKE ME BLIND" song::
I dunno why I colored this is photoshop when I know nothing of how to properly color something in photoshop. ::blink blink:: wassa layer?
Anyway this is Methuselah, he's my hellhound. I dunno why I made him blue. I don't know alot of things tonight. I do know that eventually I will give him a pretty background and put him on my website that eventually I will buy and find a place to host it.
Media: started off with a pencil... and the photoshop corrupted it

My new hobby, drawing big fat polar bears.
Meet Truck Bear, or rather what Truck Bear would look like if he were an anthro. Truck Bear (yes, I know it's a weird name) is my woobie, my childhood stuffy that I've had about 17 years now. He's a polar bear, a bit scruffy in his old age and has a spot on the top of his head where I gave him a hair cut when I was a wee lil Tabris.

I dunno what he is so shocked about.

So I broke down and colored him with markers... and I changed his Name to Geryon. I also convinced Miz Poof to color him in Photoshop.

I'm sorry about posting B&W and then colored, but in my eyes the two are very different images.

I'm thinking about joining this futuristic furry roleplaying thing on Yahoo, so last night I brain stormed a new character.
Meet Kaoru (not definate on the name) the futuristic red panda.
I didn't intend this, but he's kinda Chad Burbridge-ish, no?
I like his ears. I'm going to beg someone to color it in Photoshop now.

I can't draw anymore.
Here's an emotionless crappy picture of Kye and Tabris.

Ah, sumi ink. I told my friend Lauren that I was going to draw a picture of a woman and a bear for the Rasputina song "The New Zero":

<i>...he has agreed
to take me
to the ice hotel from the magazine

what we will need
is a gleaming key
made of ice as well
by the finest ice machine

its there that no one will stare
at your jaws and your long fur
the claws in your fingers...</i>


Expect an updated inking soon with said ice hotel in the background.

Last year when I was in Boston University's School of Fine Arts, getting the skills that would ensure a future job as a waitress... I mean Artist, I was required to buy an insane amount of different medias that have since then been sitting around unused. Say Hello to my GIANT bottle of Sumi ink! I rarely ever used any of it because I rarely went to class. Oh, to be a freshman again.

I love this pic. I don't know why I didn't upload it the first day I got this account. Here is Gren and a bunch of lion cubs making his life miserable. :D

This is the First contortion pic I drew of Gren earlier this year in Feb. Pencil sketch and colored. 98% of the time if I really like the pencil sketch I'll make a zerox of it and use the copy for coloring, so if I screw up, then I can try again. I messed up on the face of this colored one... well.. what else was I going to do? you loose alot of definition when you're coloring in black fur.

I drew this... Not a great feat but it's something to update with. Gren the Spotted skunk/ contortionist at the Cirque du Furrei.

This is a not quite finished drawing of Billy as a bunny. I like it, therefore I post it.

This is an experimental Gren Anansie Pic, inspired by some pic by someone whom I don't remember but If I do I'll write who. Began with an A, I think? I know it's significantly different so there isn't a copyright problem, but the pic did inspire me and it's good to give credit. Anyway. Here is Gren, the only thing I took from this drawing and incorporated into my normal style is the eyebrows. Up until now Gren didn't have any.

I love J-Rock, especially the band Dir En Grey, especially the guitarist Kaoru.
Thus, Gren as Kaoru.

This poor pic. Note: NEVER USE METALLIC GEN PENS TO COLOR ANYTHING YOU WANT TO SCAN IN THE FUTURE.

This is an oldie from late summer 00' Tabris as a baby coon. Cute no? The character of Tabris the baby coon involves him being autistic, hence the kinda far off look in his eyes. Love this pic.

This pic was made when I created the character of Gren Anansie on AOL. He ended up looking nothing like this as I continued to brainstorm, but this pic is cute and anime-ish. Note: A SMILE!!!! I suck at facial expressions so my characters always look kinda meh, but this one is grinning, yay me! If only I continued on that trend!
Media: Prisma colors
I can skip the copyright stuff right? You know it's my drawing.

Old pic doctored up in Abode PhotoDeluxe Home edition v3.0 Back in the day when I wasn't a firm believer in pirated software.

Let me note, I've been drawing furries since May of 2000, so it's been little over a year. Now that I have an outlet to show my drawings there might be some old not as refined as my current style drawings posted, just because I like to show progression. Finnegan is one of the first drawings I made in his anime-ish style, though really, I draw cartoons, not furmanga.
