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 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!

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.

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

My half a trade for the talented Tainted Kitten. Her character Moon the wolf/collie hybrid and mate Artizar the Azawakh breed. Transferred about 5-6 times today, but this simplified lineart should do just fine. Their markings are unique and I'm still a bit rusty on shading so this one could take awhile to complete x.x;

Tacoma and feral Iccy just chillin out together.

I'm going to (hopefully) color this by tonight. Ugh, damn procrastination. The weekend's over and I haven't done nearly as much drawing as I planned.

Haven't been able to finish anything I've started in the last few weeks. So I decided on something simple that I hadn't gotten around to yet, and 'cause I love MLP I wanted to make Tacoma into one :D

Only problem is, I should have simplified the wings. But instinct took over and I figured that Tacoma's wings must always have that same pattern and shading and colors. Bleh. It could have been better but, this is the first 'pony I've ever done so...yeah.

And the colored version for miss Drakonic.

Proof (as if you needed any more) that I should just stick to lineart until I learn to shade properly.

Inkage of trade half with DrakonicKnight of DA. She's a wolf/fox mix but..I think I made her too wolfish x.x;

I had to transfer this, because frequent erasing on cardstock makes the paper tear up quickly so I had no choice. Inked immediately upon transferring, and right on my monitor too x.x; Dammit, I need a lightboard.

I should stop doing ports for digos on Furc. Instead, "I'll draw you a couple ports for a damn lightboard x.x; Digo items are around that price anyway. Oh well. Monitors make better transfer surfaces than tv's so I can't complain. Came out much better than I expected and I hope she likes when I'm finished :)

Still, why the hell do erasers eat cardstock? >.<

Finally finished my semi-new DA badge, the better version is here - http://tacoma.deviantart.com/

She looks slightly cubbish, but I guess it's cute o_o;

Yuck, quick crappy photoshop border. Just didn't feel like posting the full badge, it would just look...too out of place.

My first successful drawing on cardstock. Used a micro uni-ball for smaller details and a fat Pilot V-ball for outlining. Almost gave up on it but I'm happy with how it turned out. I might color this.
