I has a cookie!

I just got my 30,000th pageview on dA today... which is a big thing for me.

Thank you to all that have visited my page... especially my watchers and supporters. And congrats to Arrow Quivershaft who got my 30,000th view.

Head of an ani-gathier... a flightless, avian-like species of alien. This was originally supposed to be a part of a larger model sheet... but this was the only part of it I actually liked.

Aredon - Character Study

LOL - That Burger King sketch amuses me to no end. XD

A'Tai'Aith - WIP

Another old(ish) character I decided to give a new look to. This is A'Tai'Aith, my barn owl/cougar gryphon. The only dramatic changes I'm making to her are making the head look more like a realistic owl, lengthening her fingers, and possibly some changes with her coloring.

Atherdoru - Concept Art

Working on my Theran gods series has made me think about the ancient days of Thera before the rise of the gods and what it would have been like back then.

Like all historical periods, it would have had historical figures. Famous heroes and villains. This is concept art for one of the possible heroes of that time. I didn't really spend much time with this picture... it is mainly meant for me to lay out her colors and patterning.
I do have a backstory in mind for her, and I will most likely make a character sheet for her as well. However, it will have to wait until I finish the next series of my gods series because her history would make a bit more sense then.

BattleMage - Work in Progress

Reval, one of my dragon characters casts a spell. This sketch started as a bored during math class doodle, but I liked it so much that I've decided to finish it up.

This one will be colored in between commissions.

Tropical Gryphon - WIP

This originally started as one of my many random doodles that I do... so at first I did not intend to finish it. But I think I like it well enough to color it and finish it off.

Anthro gryphon female with what will be blue and gold macaw foreparts and jaguar hindquarters. She is currently unnamed... but I'll try to have a name for her by the time I'm done coloring.

Poor bunnies!

A five minute sketch while I was waiting for my blueberry muffins to bake. No, this is not meant to be a masterpiece... it's a statement that I decided to make because I'm getting sick of "oh so cool" 13 year olds who try to claim other people's artwork as their own.

(Its loosely based off of a Domoken poster that one of my college friends used to have)

Dragon Rider - WIP

Random drawing that started when I was bored in Chemistry class.

Dragon Sketch Dump

Doodles that I did while I was bored in my Chemistry class. I've been in a dragonish-drawing mood lately.

Dragon Soul - WIP

Once again I haven't had as much time for personal works as I'd like to... especially with exam week coming up... but I've finally gotten some line art for personal art done that I actually like so I'm posting that here so people can see what I've been up to.

This is a revisit of an old idea. My character, Aredon has always felt a special kinship to dragons. The dragon in the picture is meant to be more of a symbolic thing... I'll have more info when I post the colored version.

So yes, I am planning on coloring it... but it may be a while before I get around to doing it. Not only am I busy with school/commissions but I'm also planning on spending A LOT of time coloring it - IE if all goes according to plan, that dragon is going to have individual scales on his entire body.

Fearless - Line Art

I like this one, and I am planning on finishing it, but I don't know when.

Fearless - Roughs

Rough sketch that I did to practice a few things: Movement, action, interaction between multiple characters, etc. My character, Paxton fights a random verin. That verin was originally going to be my character, Suddah... which explains why he looks a lot like him... but I decided agains it because it would have fit with the timeline of my story (Suddah would have torn Pax apart no question... and he isn't supposed to die until later in life).

My computer screen seems to like to butcher light sketches so I hope other people can see it better then I can. I'd like to say I'm going to finish this pic because I really like it, but I have abandoned sketches that I've liked before many times so I'm not going to say for sure if I will finish or not.

Feuer - Sketchpage WIP

Yay! I actually get to sit down and draw something for myself!

Anyways, line art for an upcoming experamental picture.

Fire and Water - WIP

It's been a long time since I've posted some of my WIP sketches before I color them and I know some of my fans like that so... here you go.

I've decided that I deperately need to draw some of my characters that I've never drawn before and/or need an updated look. Asar'ii (Anthro Sun Conure Gryphon) is a fire mage while Arril (Spirit Dragon) is a water mage.

Flying Death - Work in Progress

I've been in an art slump the last week or so. I've been trying to draw/sketch but I don't like anything I've been turning out. Not enough to want to finish or even post here, anyways. This is the first thing I really like.

Tori, one of my gryphon characters flying down to run his katanas through someone. (In particular he is a falcon/fennec/okapi gryphon) Depending on my mood when I color this, it may end up being pretty bloody. Haven't decided, yet.

This is going to be part of my Tori Portfolio.

The Forest's Champion - WIP

Those who pay attention to the dragon swap community on LiveJournal probably know that this month's round is a "themed" round... friends or lovers. I asked that my dragon character, Arril be drawn with her mate, Seskelaugh (pronounced "SES-Kay-Lau). I hadn't drawn him ever.. but I did have a specific "look" for him in mind. Basically the same dragon from my old "loopy dragon" picture, but with dark grey hair and black stripes.

Ariasha - Species Concept

Concept art for my other alien feline species. Ariasha are more like traditional house cats then the other species. I consider this to be a quick picture, so thats why I put it in "sketches". I'm getting serious about creating the write-ups for the Azura'T'Oris universe and it's inhabitants (finally!) so chances are I'll be doing quite a bit more concept arts soon.

This particular ariasha's name is "Gabriel", he's one of my character, Liah's pets.

Gideon - WIP

Since one of my friends said that she'd keep bugging me until I put some more of my pencil drawings up I've decided to start posting my works in progress before they are colored. Also, I've been putting larger watermarks on my pictures cuz of my problems with art thieves cropping out signatures/watermarks lately. They always ruin things for everyone.

Anyways, Gideon my fennec character. This picture has been sitting untouched in my binder for the past few months so I figured it was about time to finish it.

Image of Ulario drawn for my xanga journal.

Someone I know asked me for gryphon reference pictures, so I drew up a few sketches for her. I'm posting it here in case it can help somebody else, too.

Gryphon Bois - WIP

This was mainly an exercise in piecing pictures together. And since I've been neglecting my gryphon characters lately I decided to go with my four male anthro gryphon characters. In order from left to right: Tori, Maverick, Paxton, and Asher (AKA Orion)

These were done on four seperate pieces of paper... each sketch was a quick 5-10 minute doodle. I like it enough to post the line art... but since it was rather quick and there are a ton of mistakes I'm not sure if I like it enough to color it or not. Part of me wants to color it... if only because each of these four characters have really cool individual markings that won't be added until the coloring stage....

The gryphon image on my business cards.

Matrix Online Signature

After a few months of Hiatus, I've returned to the Matrix Online. I missed all of my friends from there... and now we've got a vent surver so I can now talk to my friends through my headset. WOOT! I love my faction!

I needed a signuture for the official game forums and my faction's forums so I took a recent picture that I made and modified it into a signature. I don't normally upload my signatures to art sites, but I thought this one was pretty cool. When I feel like drawing again I may make a new one with my character's face.

Sketches of Hellfire's face.

Inari - Quick Concept Sketches

Concept for Inari the Takasaj.

Webgraphic for the front page of my future Star Wars fanart page.

Kjata Face Study

Loopy Dragon - Work In Progress

Random spirit dragon that began as a sketch when I was bored in my class. There is no story behind him, really.

I haven't decided if I like this sketch enough to color it, yet. Though if I get bored I'll probably end up coloring it reguardless.

Quick sketch of a cute green dragon.
