Five minute meaningless sketch while waiting for the xanax to kick in. I honestly don't know how I feel tonight. Just that I'm not all here and wish there were harder drugs in my possession.

Nothing is going to change.

A Remembrance of special times with the girl I loved...

I cried when I began coloring this, there were some tear stains at the base of my tail...barely noticable after scanning.

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.

No, I'm not dead. I moved and now have a job at a graphics factory so I'm going to be really busy. I inked this today, it was sitting around in the sketch pile. Not so good, I know, but I seriously haven't gotten enough time to draw lately :(

muri.jpg
Image: muri.jpg   584x797 114046 bytes 2006.06.22

I wanted Muri to be feminine, playful and a little crazy. She looks very much like a raver. Lunati inspired her a little but, because this is the first anthro rat I've ever drawn, you can tell the two are different animals. Muri has been relatively easy so far, but I still don't know what her colors are. I wanted her tail to look like Raven's, his black markings spread to his tail in strange patterns, so she doesn't have a normal pink tail. She doesn't have wings or any special powers, although she loves to dance and has a hard time staying sober. And so far, this is Muri. There will be much more of her, but she's still a work in progress so I'm going to be playing around with colors.

This took hours upon hours to construct and I think I lost a few brain cells in the process. I haven't done this sort of thing in years, so I had no idea what to do. I imagined that I was drawing Tacoma, but instead of a pencil my tools were a knife and a pen cap. And lots of tiny dabbling of clay all over her body. She looks either really confused, or deeply disturbed. And I don't blame her; she goes in the oven to bake tomorrow.

Measurements 4" from head to feet, 1" wide. Very very tiny and also detailed.

I shrunk it down but it's 11". It's kinda what happens when you're trying to relax and something pleasant enters your mind, and you still have things that are hurting you. Tacoma in a sort of gryphon form, with the wings of a phoenix. Her wings are on fire because a curse had fallen on her while she was working on freezing a hot forest and she's still breathing out ice and snow, trying to cover what she had missed before she can no longer fly and sacrifices herself to be re-born as a complete gryphon, while trying to create the right environment for herself. And she's hurting like hell but is still working at it for as long as she can. Hooray for therapy art.. Used a combination of different pencils to give the wings that extra crispy look.

Around 1:30am yesterday I was doing some breathing exercises to help with a specific stress issue I'm always dealing with, and I had closed my eyes and was having some pretty intense visuals. Then this idea came..and I just drew it...I dunno. It feels pretty personal...

My dog Babi died last week. She was 15. I grew up with both Babi and Princess, they were my best friends and my sisters. This picture is a tribute to all those good memories...I'm going to miss Babi. She was a miniature pinscer and Princess is a 10 y/o Pomeranian mix.

Another old doodle of a ferret logo. An inside joke between a friend of mine who lovingly refers to his penis as a ferret.

Tacoma chills out on a blanket of snow, watching the northern lights.

So, this is what I've been working on for the last two weeks. Drawn and airbrushed in Photoshop 7. Little breakdown of how this was done. Tacoma was drawn first, slimmed the outlines, used a thick brush to make a base color of snow - powder blue. Took three nights to finish Tacoma. Then the real challenge - making the lights. Played around with the brushes, rotated a few times adding the wind filter, and after a few nights of pulling my hair out, I did it. Layered over the night sky, added Tacoma, and spent five days airbrushing the snow. This was exhausting but I love how it came out. About 57 hours of work total.

First time drawing a shirt on a 'taur. Good times.

I had fun with this. Interesting bit of info - took me two years to get my hair like that IRL and I've never seen anyone with the same style. People have this habit of wanting to pet my "spikes." It gets weird at times, but ok. I'm a fucking furry so it's all good. Starting to feel like lately every new drawing is experimental.
