The best gifts are digital

Happy birthday, Vandringar! I got you a bottle palm.

Dawn's Dress

My first of two commissions for Striker, and probably my pinkest picture yet.

Rabbit scales

Another commission for Kraz, with armor based somewhat on a set from I think Final Fantasy XI. Many thanks! This one was fun, even with the scales.

Bonivan in chainmail

My first commission for Kraz. If you ever find yourself choosing between rendering chainmail and rendering scales, go with the chainmail.

Art trade with Mottenfest

An art trade with Mottenfest that I took entirely too long to do.

Mike 2501

A commission for Mike 2501 on FA. Many thanks!

Magister Garrok and his faithful familiar, Perception Check

My first commission for MuGamma, who so far has taken the fullest advantage of the fact that I don't actually charge for backgrounds.

Snow bat

And then this morning I made a bat. I've spent most of my life in Texas, and this is the most snow I've ever seen outside of a ski resort.

Snow weasel

And then of course I made a weasel. I'd never sculpted before yesterday, certainly not out of snow.

Snow fox

Holy crap it snowed. In North Texas! I had to take advantage of it. So I walked around, admiring all the pretty whiteness that transformed the neighborhood, and then I made a fox.

Gavin - Scales

Hey, it's been a while since I last designed a ridiculous outfit for my character! I am pretty sure I'm never going to draw this one ever again, ever, because holy crap those scales are a pain.\r\n\r\nRandom 3 AM backdrops, wheeee.

Miami

Here's another painting for Cain! I was barely able to restrain myself from giving him a speech bubble with a cheeky one-liner and putting a big YEEEEEEEAAAHHHH in the background.

Darin (I think)

Guys, besides forgetting how to paint I seem to have forgotten how to draw my Taps character. Here he is looking a lot more like a teenage girl than normal -- okay, maybe not that much more than normal, but still, those hips! Geez.\r\n\r\nHe's also in a state of dress I never thought I'd see him in: a t-shirt and jeans.

Ibuprofen

Commissioned by Furlop for Foxxle's birthday. Happy birthday, Foxxle! May it be relatively headache-free.

Objec--waitasec

There were a few different versions of this picture for PeterKitty, but these are the only two I'm posting here.

Objection!

Another commission/request/whatever for Peterkitty on FA, who paid for this one with a copy of Rhythm Heaven. Toge-ther now WAAAAGH

21st Century Schizoid Bat

D:

Consort

I tried adding a shadowy figure into the 'consort' panel on that RPG meme, but it looked distracting and out of place there (plus it felt like it was just trying too hard to drive the point home; I may as well have immersed the 'mutant' panel in glowing green ooze). And tonight I was bored so I blew up that sketch and fleshed it out a bit. May move to scraps later.

RPG meme (Gavin)

Look guys, it's another meme. Blank version's in the 'more info' link.\r\n\r\nThis one was fun. As usual, my character's wings get in the way of everything. Being unable to wear a proper corset makes my barwench feel insufficiently barwenchy.

Someone needs a shear

Good lord, look at this prancing fruitcake. I should try drawing someone masculine some time.

Avatar for Peterkitty

An avatar done in watercolor for Peterkitty, who paid for it with a Gamestop gift card. I may also be convinced to accept payment for commissions in online pizza orders.

A rabbit for Kraz

My third commission for Kraz, who is quickly establishing himself as my best customer. Thanks again!

Gavin, still girly

Maybe this would've lent itself better to cel shading? Oh well.\r\n\r\nI'm fairly comfortable with the way I do digital coloring now, but I'm not done experimenting, either.

Gavin waves

I didn't notice until I started inking this that all the crisscrossy nonsense down there was messed up. Apparently I couldn't be bothered to fix it.

Mother and Child

Two generations of a family of witches. More character designs I have no plans to do anything with. Some day, eventually, maybe I'll try to roll all these stray personas I've got floating around into a comic or something.

Monster Manual (commission)

Thanks, Biscuits! Without your help I might never have learned the proper arrangement of numbers on a ten-sided die, and that's knowledge I can use.

1.6 occupants per couch cushion

My last gift to Striker for buying me this tablet last year! This one started out as a Painter experiment, then turned into a Photoshop brushes experiment somewhere along the way. On the whole it doesn't look much like anything else I've ever produced, ever, and probably not much like anything I'll produce in the future.

Mad science is the best science

This one's for Cain! This is the commission that finally forced me to stop putting off learning how to use watercolors, something I sincerely appreciate.\r\n\r\nWhat's he got in that beaker? Why, it's SCIENCE of course.

Metal weasels

Recently I finally started on something I've been putting off for years: learning how to use real media. My inexperience shows here, but I'm already starting to like these watercolors, and hopefully with enough practice I'll become proficient enough with them to start offering watercolor commissions. We shall see!

Dress code

Just a quick experiment. Sorry, foxes of the world! Striker bought me a Wacom tablet for my birthday, so the rest of you will just have to compete for second awesomest.
