Commission for Shetty.

Magnum & Kjata Shiosai lounging under a tree.

"Siamese if you Please"

Playing around with different photoshop effects.

Siasa the mimic in his true form... well almost his true form. He really dosen't have arms, I just added them in this picture to make him look a bit more interesting.

Silver

Trying to find ways to merge my space art and illustration work together. I wasn't planning on going anywhere with this picture, but I liked what I had so much that I decided to finish it. Though I believe I did mess up the end result a little bit. LOL. It dosen't really bother me that much... I still like it.

The little critter in there is a Seraph (or Seratores in the Old Space-Born language)... one of my alien animal species. They're basically "living spaceships" as they can only survive in the depths of space. Seeing a Seraph is considered the holy grail of good luck for space travellers since they're so rare to see. To give you a sense of scale he'd be about 150 feet from nose to tail tip.

I'm actually considering getting a tattoo of my seraphs in the distant future.

A gift made for a Christmas gift exchange I was involved in. :)

Sojitakakimu the eastern dragon.

More work with metallics. I tried to do some gold this time. Magnum the golden chinese dragon poses on a rock on the beach.

I like how the coloring turned out.

Doing a little furry art in the middle of my sci-fi kick. :p

I Stand My Ground!

I've been trying to get out of my art block slump lately.

I've still been in the mood to draw dragons lately, but I've decided to change things up by drawing a gryphon since they are probably my favorite subject matter. I don't care how many birds I've drawn before... feathers are a pain in the butt.

Tudyk, my Phoenix/Tiger gryphon character. Sometimes traditional lion gryphs just aren't colorful enough for me.

Tribal Star Dragon by a river.

An experament with photoshop.

Stargazing

The final colored picture in my "Ran-Qui the Amaran Jedi" portfolio. ZOMG! I'm really digging that background. Particularly the clouds/stars reflecting off the water. Most of those things were purely experamental but I'm relatively happy with it.

Also, I've really grown attatched to this character. To the point where I consider her to be sort of an "alternate fursona". So yes, there will be more arts of her in the future.

Shot of Aredon Bredrit, one of my main characters.

No, he dosen't actually have a steel dragon. It's the name of his starfighter.

"A Storm is Approaching"

Trying to finish a few more piccies before Anthrocon.
Photoshop over a pencil sketch.

I love my art history class. It's dark and held in a large lecture room so I can draw without getting in trouble.

I've been trying to get away from pin-ups, I've just been getting burned out by them so I'm trying to vary up the poses of my characters. Action shots are more fun then a character sitting around doing nothing anyways.

Anyhoo, Soji the eastern dragon yawns and stretches. I've always pictured dragons (particularly Oriental ones) to be very catlike. I tried a parchment background rather then the standard naturalistic ones I usually do. This was done for two reasons. 1. I wanted to see what it looked like and 2. I wasn't coming up with any backgrounds I liked and didn't feel like screwing around with it anymore.

Whew, I've never drawn so many characters in one drawing before.

Suddah, the main villain in my comic book surrounded by his six wives. Martinet, his favorite, is the one over his shoulder. Usually, lycans don't formally choose mates. The chieftan is the exception, and almost always takes several spouses.

Suddah Angry.

Suddah Enthroned.

A quick doodle of a sun gryphon.

Experamenting with colors, fur, and background. For a doodle, I like how it turned out.

Drawing for one of my RL friends after he requested that I draw a fox. I chose to draw my jayfox character, Tai'Ann for this because people seem to like her (plus my friend's fursona is blue too).

Shaman Series - Pic 4 of 4

Tai'Ann Kinrest the Jayfox. Because of some of the responses I've recieved about this series, I may do a "Theran Deities" series sometime in the future. It'll be similar to this series... but will feature the nine gods and goddesses of my story.

After seeing a dead blue jay in my front yard, I was tempted to try out his patterns/colorization on an anthro. She was originally supposed to have black around her face as well, but I decided to remove it.

Test of colors, nothing more. I'm not sure whether or not I'm going to use this character again.

Deer-Tuar family.

Female archaeopteryx scout... since I had a strange urge to draw something prehistoric. :p
Usually I draw my aves with wing-arms but I felt that the wings coming off the back just looked better in this pic.

Tetra, Ulario's mate holding a phoenix.

The summoning of my fursona, Ulario Zemothe.

Yeah, this is probably an OOC pict, because she's really bad with magick.

A young gryphon looks up to the stars. It's been a while since I've drawn a quadrapedal gryphon.

Theran Spirit Dragon Elder

Anyways, since I've been doing concept art for my alien species, I thought that it would be a good idea to draw some pictures of my Theran species as well. This critter in particular is a Drakken'Re (AKA Theran Spirit Dragon). The fully developed plates on the neck and arms mark this one as an older dragon, which is where the title comes from. Full description of this species can be found under more info.
