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.

Image: taur1.jpg   952x800 102215 bytes 2005.03.11

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.

pounce.jpg

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.

This is one of those meaningless little sketches I often draw while chatting on aim or furcadia. But come to think of it, this is the first time I've ever drawn a sabretooth cat o.o;

Went a little crazy on the fur though...

meep-sketch.jpg
Image: meep-sketch.jpg   479x647 29082 bytes 2005.03.07

The sketch of the original, which I like even better than after I ruined it with ink.

Male Tacoma and Lunati share a passionate moment.

thickfur.jpg
Image: thickfur.jpg   530x455 57358 bytes 2005.03.07

A thick-coated wolf, and fur-shading experiment with crayola pencils. The only ink used here was for the facial features.

And just because I was on this wildlife-drawing kick last year, here's a lioness. Gnarr. Don't like her too much :(

Tattoo design. Wouldn't want to use it personally and I think it needs some improvement, but it does have potential. I'll play around with the idea next time I'm bored.

Tacoma's quite content in a flurry - shirtless or not.

fly-with-me.jpg
Image: fly-with-me.jpg   807x1054 148266 bytes 2005.03.03

Icarus teaches Tacoma how to "fly." I was thinking of a nice snowy background if I decide not to color the previous drawing. Outlined Icarus' wings to smooth them out.

Young Icarus and Tacoma play together.

jump.jpg
Image: jump.jpg   800x1035 144786 bytes 2005.03.02

Ok, something a little personal here.

I feel like this picture represents the darkest side of my life and how fear has allowed me to grow..

Besides, it's part of the storyline. This is actually how Tacoma earns her wings. Once she jumps off that cliff and falls at just the right speed, two beautiful wings parachute from her back and send her gliding into the clouds. Damn crazy scientist that Skylion is..

Little sketch based off a dream. This was a bitch to clean up.

expressions.jpg
Image: expressions.jpg   782x982 260709 bytes 2005.03.02

During the animation in September I made a bunch of little Tacoma heads to help me out. I was laying in bed, not in the most comfortable position, and all these heads start pouring out of my pen ;.;

Just my luck too - it's the drawings I put so much time and thought into, and spend hours sketching, I fuck up with ink. But this was all freehand mindspew which confuses me even more...given they aren't all perfect and they wouldn't all work, realistically, in an animation..I still felt the need to doodle up as many different expressions as I could. Please don't copy off them.

confident.jpg

Young, feral Tacoma looking proud and confident right before her bipedal transformation at 14. Wings 'cause I felt like it.

sleeping.jpg
Image: sleeping.jpg   855x349 51574 bytes 2005.03.02

Yes, I actually do sleep that way. It's quite comfortable. Personally, I think the hovering bubble wings are pretty badass.

The nicer of the two wolf sketches done last year.

wolfsketch2.jpg

Portrait of a wolf. This one is a year old...don't like it too much anymore but I was really pleased with it at the time..

dragons.jpg
Image: dragons.jpg   760x997 429888 bytes 2005.03.01

I don't think the flightless dragon would be so jealous had the other not taunted him. But although he lacks the ability to fly, he's very well compensated with raw, brutal strength.

I apologize for the crappy heavily-crosshatched background, I wasn't too sober...and my scanner chopped off the very bottom x.x;
