Sketches of Magnum.

Ambassador Nara - Quick Sketch

Sketches of a high status space born. Most of my other SB characters are young and reject the customs of their species so I decided to draw a older, more traditional character.

"Nerd Herd" Ulario - WIP

Well, my original plan for today was to finish up and color another commission, but my email has been wonky and I haven't been getting half of his emails. I haven't gotten the approval email for his rough sketch so I can't color it. :/

So I had to find something else to occupy myself.

Anyone who knows anything about me probably knows that the TV show, Chuck is one of my obsessions. I had realized that I haven't done any sketches or anything relating to it... so I dressed my fursona up in the Nerd Herd uniform because hey, I am a nerd. XD

This was originally going to stay just a sketch, but I think I like it enough to actually color it. The uniform will look more like the official herder uniform from the show when it's colored.

This picture was done for one of my friends who was having a bad day... LOLOLOL!!!!

Gryphon Learns About Shims

A little bit of off-topic fun. 15 minute sketch scanned into my computer and touched up with photoshop to make it look "Pretty".

If you know anything about me... then you probably know that I am an avid Matrix Online player. One thing you may not know is that my boyfriend (John... AKA LoTekGhost) also plays. One of his alternate characters is a Shim. If you're not familiar with such MMO lingo, a shim (AKA a Shemale) is a female character played by a real life male. In the Matrix Online, shim characters usually have a certain "look"... and by that I mean they usually have big boobs (unlike REAL female players like me who are most often more normal sized). I thought it would be kinda funny to make a picture commenting on that fact.

Skies over Kalgea - WIP

Quick sketch of an ani-gathier on an atsuru. I don't think I like this one enough to finish it.

A quick sketch of my eastern dragon character. This was for an expermaent to see how I could "spice up" a boring old sketch.

Space Born Species - Quick Sketches 1

I've been in the mood to draw Jhi'Mar'Oog lately. :p

Space Born Species - Quick Sketches 2

I figured I'd do a whole sketch page on females because I rarely draw them and I think it's important for me to have a reference of what they look like.

Drakken'Re (Theran Spirit Dragon) Sketches

I figured that since I'm doing concept art for my aliens, I might as well do some of my Theran Species as well. These are quick reference sketches for my Spirit Dragon species, which are loosely based off Asian Dragons.

Tenari Shiosai - Sketch

I did have intentions of coloring this picture... in fact, I did get it halfway colored but after I left it and came back to it after a few days I decided I didn't like it enough to finish it.

I do like the pose, though... I may use the pose for another drawing.

Tenari is one of my characters... sort of. She's the offspring of mr characters, Mag and Kjata. Therefore, she's a direct hybrid of a Terra Dragon and a Spirit Dragon. The reason I say that she is "sorta" one of my characters is because she's not in the current timeline of my story... she comes about 30-50 years after the main bulk of the story so she's not a character I plan on developing a whole lot (though I have the feeling some people would disagree with that).

Elder Spirit Dragon - WIP

This one took me a while to draw, haven't decided on his coloring yet.

Tudyk - WIP

Getting out of my art block slump by drawing a gryphon. In particular, Tudyk, my Phoenix/Siberian Tiger character (stripes will be added when colored). I have a particular title in mind for this picture but I won't say what it is because it's not final.

Tudyk Head Concept - WIP

Head concept for a character in a side project I may work on. This is a work in progress and will be colored later.

New Watermark

My heraldic gryphon has served for my watermark for the past two years... but I think it's time to retire it and use a new watermark. One that is less generic and fits me and my art more.

This was the design that I came up with. It features my fursona because you can't get any more "me" then that.
The little critter that looks like a cross between a manta ray and an insect is a Seraph. An alien animal in my fictional universe... and my namsake on a few sites (SeraphGuardian4, SeraphRising, etc).

I like this new watermark. It resembles both my fantasy and sci fi art. I am not giving anybody else permission to use this design anyplace online. Period.

The Way the Wind Blows - WIP

One of two dragon pictures that started as quick sketches I did while waiting for my SWG server to come back up the other day that I liked well enough to finish.

Rush's song "The Way the Wind Blows" was playing on my iPod while sketching this picture, so that was the inspiration.

This one gave me trouble. Earlier this week BOTH of my mechanical pencils broke... which shouldn't surprise me since I've been using the same ones for years. The nee pencils that I bought keep breaking my lead in the middle of drawing. Must find a store that sells my old brand. At least I know those are reliable.

I am planning on coloring him... eventually.
