Am I the only person who feels this way about their alter-ego?

I just wish she'd shut the hell up sometimes.

Alright, so here's a fun little springtime sketch (since I'm sure plenty of you are sick to death of the extended winter, even though I could never be). So Icarus and Tacoma went for a little swim and, well, it's time to shake-dry and roll in the grass. My hedgehog, Romeo, is foraging on the ground.

Got high at around..7pm. Drew this quickie within the hour (felt like three hours, but that's just how it is). And...I really don't think it's getting inked. Way too small. Just an example of how I draw when I'm relaxed for a change...

A picture for a friend who's fascinated with periods and the female reproductive system. Here's Tacoma on a really bad day. IRL, I haven't had a period in five months. :(

This was a quickie, no ink used. The wings look like shit.

Could have done a lot better, even for it being 5am (I stay up all night/morning working on this stuff). But again, the wings made the picture. I love how the feathers layer over each other and will be sticking with this wing style for a long time. I'm disappointed with Icarus' fur texture and could have made his coat appear lighter and smoother but...I'm having trouble with light texturing. I need to shade it enough to show the fur texture properly but not so much that it darkens the coat. Ugh. And I like Tacoma as she is. It's hard to not want to give her wings in feral form but...she's still young here.

Something cute that proves that there just can't be enough of Icarus and Tacoma.

Icarus is a mystery character. I can't remember how this guy started, but he was named after my computer (anyone figure out what his necklace pendant is)? And the first drawing of him ever was this enormous painting on my bedroom wall. Didn't draw much of him until this past month when I figured out he was the only other "child" of Skylion's. But this does not make him Tacoma's sibling - they share no blood. Only a long history and a very sweet friendship.

Quite possibly my favorite animal (surprise!) - The Thylacine or Tasmanian Tiger. On the dead spectrum, anyway. These were carnivorous marsupials, not as quick as kangaroos but walked with a slight limp, some even jumped around on their hind legs. They were declared extinct in the early 20th century. Very few photographs and only a couple short films were taken of these animals. No reference pictures were used since I pretty much know this critter like the back of my hand :)

Haven't been feeling too good about myself lately. This is a quickie, little therapy art. Simple but cute and reassuring.

Trade with BleuHawke of DA.

Couldn't do anything about the chopped wing thanks to my scanner -_-;

Trade with BleuHawke of DA. Soon to be colored. My scanner chopped of the top of his wing. I'll have to make sure that doesn't happen with the finished piece. -.-;

My half of a trade with Syndehy. Her character, Art, is a three-tailed wolf with interesting flame-patterned markings. Superfuzzified. Shiny.

This sketch was laying beside my bed for a long time, so I figure she was watching over me while I slept. Inked perfectly thanks to Xanax.

FINALLY Prismacolors do something NICE for their owner. Tacoma in nut busting shades. Expect more of this.

One of the -very few- yiffy drawings from my sketchbook that I like somewhat. Lunati + Tacoma.

Tacoma and some totally random feline get a little freaky. I never liked my yiff much because I was never too passionate about it. But hey, for the sake of uploading everything...

Another half-assed lioness sketch from last year's drawing book. All of her paws are different and her fur has no texture. o0;

grarrr.jpg
Image: grarrr.jpg   588x347 100027 bytes 2005.03.12

About a few weeks old. I haven't had a major art block yet this year (knock on wood) but I have found myself getting very frustrated with certain drawings. And the whole transferring bit because ink hates me. So, while I should have actually been screaming into a pillow and making a mess of things, I decided to sketch this. So frustrated with drawing that I drew something to express it. That's how I know there's a problem.

I can't remember when or why I created Icarus two years ago, but lately there's just been so much of him in my brain.

I was rusty on cat-taurs so I decided to sketch a few for the hell of it. This was the only sketch that looked descent, so I inked it and was surprised that I didn't mess up.

Trying out new things with (feral) Icarus. Missing wings due to laziness.

Could I possibly emphasize any more how much Tacoma loves snow? This is getting colored now.

I really don't like this. But for the sake of scanning everything, here it is. A frustrated Florida Panther decides to relocate. These are quite possibly the rarest big cats in the world, with less than 100 in the wild. I've lived here for 20 years and I've still never seen one, even in captivity. He's doing what any wise floridian would do - head for the hills.

Tacoma and Lunati playing around in the snow. This is one of those drawings I procrastinated on, started inking while stoned a few nights ago and finished up this afternoon. It's okay I guess.
