Tacoma as a shiny knight :3

A very very very long overdue gift for mister BleuHawke on DA.

I think his gryffie feet look too flat in contrast to his feathers, then again this was inked six months ago and colored tonight..my anatomy has improved some since then.

Tasmin finds a...shiny orb. Hooray! o_o

Tacoma kisses her sexy mousegirl. I should really get around to coloring this. But I just came back from the dead, and this was old (see? I need a new copyright stamp but I'm too damned lazy T.T)

Today is my mom's birthday, so I drew this for her.

(I actually hate drawing equines, but this turned out better than I thought.)

I love this. I love how the wings came out and I'm definately going to start doing them like that way from now on (except I missed the third set of lighter blue feathers in the middle). I was adding too much detail to the feathers, which made them look grey (see all previous pictures of her wings). I knew it didn't look right but I was a stubborn lazyass 'ho. Yay for progress.

Had this one sitting around for over a week. I'm surprised I haven't been drawing as often as I thought I'd be, but it's amazing how fast I've been able to work with a lightboard. The wings look like ass, but I figured out how to fix that tonight. Anatomy practice and tasteful nudity = fun.

Yay, another random quickie before I head off to sleep. Anatomy practice and 'cause...it's not often I draw nude anthro Tacoma from the side. Suppose I could use this in a character ref sheet someday. Also soon to be colored.

Squeee! Can't wait to color this. It started as a bored-at-work sketch back in July that I hid behind some machines until I could sneak it home. Microns on copy paper. I need a seriously tiny pen. The microns I bought come in three sizes, the smallest being 0.25mm, and that's just not going to cut it.

I've been uploading less unfinished business on DA and just tossing it here. Mainly sketches, inked work, then the colored picture. Makes me look lazy and constipated, but who gives a fuck.

My least favorite of the recent three chakat poses. Probably the anatomy, atleast it looks better colored. :x

Microns and Prismacolor pencils on copy paper. Colored in about half an hour. Total time taken: 45 minutes.

New shading technique here. Well, sorta. I no longer fear fucking up since I got my lightboard. I also never have to lose sketches and inked work - but I have to transfer like mad. This honestly did not take long. The sketch was ancient and random, the lineart was done in five minutes and the coloring took over an hour in the bathtub. For those of you who have no idea how I draw in the bathtub, I sit in there dry chain-smoking and doing artstuffs on a little clipboard in my lap.

An excited chakat Tacoma frolicks gleefully. Purposely missed the hair, 'cause I felt it would look too weird on this one. She looks weird enough being all happy -_-;

Joyful chakat Tacoma. I like this one, aside from her tail being a little crooked. Needs color n.n

Tacoma looking rather distraught. Probably 'cause her hands are all weird :(

Tacoma wades through a flooded area searching for pets who had gotten lost in the storm.

As a Florida native, I've witnessed the devastating effects of hurricanes firsthand. In fact last year, a tree fell through our roof and I was trapped inside alone w/o electricity for almost three days. But I could not imagine for a moment something like Katrina happening here. My heart goes out to the people and the animals separated from their families, and those who had lost their homes.

Remember the last 'taurified sketch I did? It was ink-transferred directly to cardstock yesterday. I'm not happy with how this came out, but I learned from it and this is the first time I've used -just- Prismacolors in a very long time. I like verithins better than the thick-leaded pencils not just cause they're better for detailed work, but since my drawings are never very big. I swear, I'm forever doomed to have anatomy issues :(

Various quickie sketches from August to early September. I could do a lot with these but would rather hold out for now. Plus I got a new lightboard which I am very excited about but I'm still studying anatomy so I can produce decent lineart. Yes, in the full-body manic-depressive sketch, manic Tacoma has a weird looking hand. So fuck you bitches. <3

Featured are Jaye (Lunati), my rats Sage and Raven and hedgehog Romeo, Icarus wolf, and I forget who else but yeah. Lots of Tacoma. Wheee. :)

Oh and Donkey too!

My tradehalf for silvermaximus on DA :3

Little tattoo concept I doodled out in my bathtub tonight. Considering my second tattoo to be of Tacoma, preferrably on my back. This remains a concept for now, awaiting critique from various sources and hoping to fix it up a little better.

First yiffy pic done in a long time. A personal favorite.

Image © Tacoma TigressFire

I'm partial to this one. Inked in the bath, so a quickie done between trades and anatomy pracitce. Mhmm.

Image © Tacoma TigressFire

I've just been working on this in between trades. Probably needs some fixing up, and ink.

Image © Tacoma TigressFire

Ah, some long awaited yiff. It's been too long, I need to do more :(

"Song of the Rat"

I really like this one. Hopefully I'll color it.

Just a little tradish bit for dead-groupie of DA.
Deadsie gives Tacoma petpets *purr*

Tacoma in gryffe form. Drawn/colored last march, forgot to scan X3

Finished tradehalf for miss Gelchan! *yays*

I'm proud of this simply because this is the first piece I've been able to shade yellow properly. I've always had trouble pencil-shading with yellow, so this made me feel really good. I hope Gelchan enjoys this as much as I had in working on it <3
