This was actually drawn while waiting in line for work at Labor Ready

May try and sell line art

Yah a rushed upload as my parents are starting to get irritated

More art from a homeless shelter and I hope to color it soon!

May try ans sell line art bla bla blah!

Another pic while at a homeless shelter!

It's funny how may people will sit socialize with you when you are drawing

Again I'm kind of rushed in posting because of my dad and the whole "If it dosen't make money you shouldn't waste your time with it!" routine, but I WILL try and color it soon and stuff...

and I may try ans sell the line art as an attempt to prove art isn't a waste of time!

Baddassed magic

Well supposing I can keep my dad off my butt long enough I will be able to color this soon!

I intend to use photo shop and do some cool lighting effects between his hands.

Drawn at a homeless shelter again

P.S. I may try and sell this line art to prove to my dad my art isn't a waist of time!

Get to the chopppaaaahhhh!!!!!!!

Yah I drew this while spending the night at a homeless shelter

I am pondering selling this line art just to prove to my dad my art isn't a waist of time!

(Note) This was drawn with NO reference material what so ever!

yah it's allways funny when friends hit you with requests...

her birthday's comin' up though so I figgered I'd draw it for her!

Well what was she reaching for?

Who knows it's just cute watching her stretch her cute li'l body out for all to see!

Yah I really enjoy drawing chipmunks for some reason!

Yah I like the line art better that the color version (wich I'm posting next any way!)

Remember how I said my art was getting this "Look" to it that I said I didn't like?

I was looking at some of my older pics and they had some really good looking shading...

but I did all them with a mouse, and it seems silly to use a mouse to shade when you have a tablet not only that but it allways looked choppy where you couldn't do round edges and the shading was on a round surface.

So what I did was I did a rough shape with my mouse and refined it with the tablet and it looks...

Good, better than I was doing...but still is leaving me with something to be desired!

If any one wants to try there hand at coloring this Line Art I have a relatively high rez line art here

Akita Ass

I can tell you why there are so many people who draw boobs...

It's because butts are HARD to get "just right", it's like one TINY slip of the out lines and the whole shape is all wrong!

Yah I allways like to post the line art first, at least when it's lineart I'm proud of!

Painted pony

I did the line art to this one while my computer was in storage and decided to try and color it!

I Forgot how much I like working with traditional inking...

I also forgot how prone to mistakes I was!

I dunno I also did some experimenting with shading... not so sure I like it, but it dose look cool.

I also Hope I don't offend any one with my ethnic portrayal of a painted horse being native American I just thought it would look cool with one on Native American ... esque clothes in a pin up styled pose!

Yah with those two last commissions finished and my cat in a good home and my new job settling down...

I can start actually drawing what I want to draw without feeling like I should be worrying about something else

Anyway I plan to make a T-Shirt out of this after I color it!

It's late and I love how the lineart looks so far so I post it...

now I'm off to bed yo!

I haven't had the time or desire to draw in along time I have been busy looking for work, moving and all kinds of stuff!

NOW I can start drawing again...I hope!

I had the line art without color and it didn't see right!

I tryed something new with the shading where I drew the outlines in one color and drew the shading with another color(On the original paper sketch) it works better because my outlines look better when I have something to trace rather than when I have to digitally free hand.

I also tryed that thing I've seen many artists do where the duplicate the outline layer and give the bottom layer a slight blur, it works well with some pics but not with others.

I also feel like I'm cheating when I do that just because it works so well at hiding mistakes in the outlines, I feel like I'm lying to the viewer (you) by doing this over simple effect.

I did an experiment to illustrate the meekness and strengths of both traditional inking and digital inking.

what I did was do the little pic in pencil and scan it, then I inked it with both techniques.

I tryed to do as little photoshopping to the traditional lines just to really show the weakness VS strength.

Now the Traditional one seems to have bolder lines and fallow a more pleasing shape to me while the digital seems to be much cleaner and more professional looking.

Here's a larger version to really see what's going on

Hangin' in

I dunno I made this to be a "dangly" thin I want to hang her in my car!

I can print it up but I want to find cool ways to use it!

Mount up

So many other anthro artist have been making some awesome pics of Horse anthros I figgered I'd give it a try!

jaguar AZTEC

P.S I really do want to know what you thing of the BG, and if you have and good suggestions for better backgrounds I'm listening!

now she's naked!

The fun of clothes being on a separate layer on photoshop LOL

Yah yah yah I can hear ya’ll now

“Oh joy ANOTHER anthro cheesecake pic from Donut!”

Well I just wanted to see how making clothes in different layers worked…and the only way I could really think to try it was to put thin clothes on somebody…

…also I was recently shown stuff by Dean Yeagle so I wanted to try it too ;__;

Why a Dalmatian you ask?

Well when I started drawing this I was watching 101 Dalmatians.

PS…I don’t like how her face came out!

All right I wanted to emulate Fred Perry’s’ style of coloring with this one and it took way to long to do I don’t think it looks as good as it could have….

I’m still getting the hang of using my tablet but it still feels like it’s missing something…I have also still not gotten the hang of “digitally painted” backgrounds so I left one out of this one.

I have also learned that many things in my new “style” don’t translate well to masculine characters, so part of the reason I have been doing so many girls is that I have to basically re create how I draw guys again…

Things like the way I draw anthro hair and such don’t seem to work well with male faces but oh well.

bringing a sword to the beach is sexy!

Well I thought I'd post this to show the out lines ('cause I think they're awesome) that I did with the table

yes I am in love with digital inking now ;__;

Yah I decided to take an old pic I did and re draw it to see how my art has improved....

The original I drew in '04 http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y.....ails_by_sl.jpg

Yah I was still learning about Photoshop and the one you see before you is the one I just did!

I'll tell yuh, havin' a tablet sure dose make a difference, I was really impressed with how awesome it dose with inking!

Well one thing about using a tablet is that you do tend to loose sight on what the whole pic looks like.

the coloring of this one's a bit weak but I still like it!

Mainly this was drawn for practicing my tablet inking!

This is the first pic I've ever done that's COMPLETELY digital

NO trees were killed in the making of this one yo....and I'm not to fond of the results!

It is fun using a tablet though yo!

My card for Skifis "anthro nudes" card deck project.

the whole "nude deck of cards" makes me think "vintage" so I did a quick google image search for what might be a cool pose to use and I found this one that was made in like the 20's and I figgered I'd give it a try.

I think it looks cool no I didn't INK it with my new tables but I color it with it...

it's not the greatest looking pics but I still like it.

Akita Skater

Well a funny thing happened to me at Art group....

a friend just handed me a tablet...

so after the WTF wore off I was so excited to try it!

I got it back home and I colored this with it only to find I need much more practice...

yah fancey or not it's awesome!

Tezuka and Black Flag

I initially really hated this one but as I worked in in photoshop it looked cooler and cooler!
