bVisual Terrorism: art (?) by jonwI' I draw for fun, and to honor (?) my friends. Much of my early work is heavily influenced by such artists as Tygger and Doug Winger (but it was all done freehand, _honest_, even if I was trying as hard as possible to copy their style...... Of late, I've been doing most everything from my own mind, which may not be an improvement, but at least is all mine..... To date, my drawings include: jonwI'-1 My first drawing; my character on FurryMuck. Had the kids in mind when I did it. jonwI'-2 From my wife's comments about time spent on FurryMuck. An anthropomorphic look at my RL family. jonwI'-3 My son got this BB gun for Christmas, and the drawing naturally flowed. powr After getting a copy of photofinish, I ventured into colorizing the scanned sketches; shows my ship on FurryMuck, the Pride of Wellston Rock (long story behind the name). Sunrise Leonie, on FurryMuck is a great friend, and I did this for her, showing four of her cubs and one of her Pridemates (and me, and of course my son wanted to be in the picture too.) My favorite time of day. Cloaking For MarvelFox, who crewed on my scoutship, in the FDF (Furry Defense Force), on FurryMuck. Kittiara A gentle jibe at a friend, and some of the problems she's had on FurryMuck PRC The Port Royale Crew (in Furryspace, on FurryMuck); MarvelFox, myself, Krrut, Kittiara, Zassa, Tyruia, Anatol, and Chrystal, in Ops. Kzinrrets Kittiara asked me to do a picture of her and Alonnys, and this is what resulted. I've been ducking ever since..... Tracked The first of the Incredibly Boring Meeting Series of Doodles; Tracked vehicles have a real problem sideways on hills, especially when things are slick. From RL. Howdeep another IBMSD, and again, influenced by RL. Nostripe2 another IBMSD, and from a story outta 'Nam Callahan Callahan's bar, in FurrySpace, on FurryMuck; a tribute to the puppets that seem to reside there; Hairy (Krrut), Katja (Kittiara) Smoki (Snowy), Dena (Tandaress), Anatol's little guy, and my own taj. notnow another IBMSD, and again, from a story outta 'Nam Justfur A frivolous treatment of a most serious subject; but I saw that supermodel poster "I'd rather go naked than wear fur" and flashed on Furry.... just couldn't leave it alone. Leonie, Braden, Zassa, Kittiara, Sandy.Claws and Chrystal (hopefully an image more to her liking than in PRC. Enroute Anyone who's been there knows the feeling. A combination of boredom and tension as you approach the "beach" (well, a friend challenged me to take things outta the past and into the future; hence the hovertank, and the dropship, instead of a (wet) landing craft. My tank (I'm the one standing), Krrut's "platoon" (tiger morph in the back, scowling), and Tyruia's playing Corpsman. chow-'68 Another IBMSD, from a story outta 'Nam. The food was as inedible as it was legendary. Whats more, Murphy's law dictated that you always got what you liked least. This led to a LOT of horse-trading. leave_01 Another IBMSD, and again outta 'Nam. I just couldn't resist doing a picture, given the name "Lucy's Tiger Den", A place that supposedly exists, or at least did, close to 30 years ago. Z&K A drawing I did for a couple of friends, Zassa, and Krrut. Zassa's the vixen (DUH!) Animal01 I was driving into work, listening to a "moring show"; one of the radio personalities said, in a monotone voice "You're an Animal. You know that, don't you?". Three pictures flashed into my mind; one having to do with eating, the second with fighting, and this is of course, the third. Thought of my wife all the time I was working on it (GRINS). IYD02.jpg Starting a new series; In Your Dreams. I actually started IYD01 first, but this one was so interesting it got done first. The Cheetah lady from Leave01 looks to become a favorite of mine (and further proof that I'm turning into a dirty old man....). letters.jpg Pretty self explanitory, I'd think, if kinda depressing; a statement I just had to get out of my system. IYD_01.jpg No, this one never happened (but it _SHOULD_ have) (*GRINS*). Kittiar2.jpg OK, this started as a request for a picture of Kittiara and Hrral; and I _will_ do that, as they wish.... someday; in the meantime, this was much more fun. As I try to learn shading, I took a photograph and "morphed" the people in it to the characters I wanted (hence the slightly better than usual background). Not sure I'll continue doing it this way, but it was interesting. Hampered by a limited number of shades of Orange, too. Oh, yes, I know I got Kittiara's Kzin-style ears wrong, but I just thought she looked better as a pure tigress. Apologies. Trouble.jpg Trouble, from Space:the furry frontier (currently at pridelands.rh.ncsu.edu 8888), and an old friend and adversary. 'nough said. Buy_ice.jpg Another story from 'Nam. Its hot there; and cold drinks were greatly appreciated; as a result a lot of ice was bought from local vendors, usually at Exhorbitant prices. Kit_Hrrl.jpg I've done a couple of teasing pictures about how Kittiara waits patiently while Hrral is RLI'd (real life interrupted). It finally struck me that there's gotta be something there for her to wait so patiently (grins), and hence this picture. I'll poke fun at them (on this subject) no more. Once again, I cheated, and used a photograph (not purely my art, but Lord they do turn out well, IMHO). Sunrise2.jpg Sunrise has always been my most favorite time of day. Saw this picture on the department secretary's calendar and just knew I had to use it. Thinking of my wife when I drew the characters, too. Trouble2.jpg Trouble, of Space:The Furry Frontier (now at muck.leonine.com 7777), in her usual condition (i.e. in "trouble"). Trouble3.jpg Ditto the comments from the above; somehow I seem to be stuck, drawing her in unusual situations. Got to string them all together somehow in a story line..... Skrmshln.jpg While watching the movie "The Ghost and the Darkness", I was impressed by how Lions just seemed to "disappear" into the tall grass, in Africa; their coloration was perfect! As you can imagine I just had to try this in a drawing. And if you think "Skirmish Lion" is a bad pun, wait till I tackle "Conga Lion"..... hunting.jpg Normally the Lionesses teach cubs to hunt, but I just had to add my own 2 cents worth. pno.jpg This is one of those pictures that just kinda grew; started off as a sketch of Khajja, and, well..... All the Kzin and Kilrathi (kinda) of FurrySpace that I'm acquainted with, in Callahan's Bar. go-kart.jpg My son just loves those large Robotech/Mechwarrior fighting machines. Accordingly I just had to do something along those lines for him. Yeah, I know, the perspective isn't quite right.... trbl_01.jpg This one takes some explaining (I guess). I'd decided I liked the cheetah fem in Leave_01, and when a friend generated a lady Cheetah character called 'trouble', well, things just naturally progressed. I started this series, a kind of a furry cross between Bishop's "Fanni Hall" and John Willie's "Sweet Gwendoline", on the premise that a damsel in distress was needed for an action related series of connected pictures. Like Fanni Hall and Gwendoline, Trouble is in for some rough times, and while I'd started this as a gentle tease at Trouble's player, I'm now getting feedback of the most amazing sort! Got one more picture in this series ready for computer editing, and another sketch in the works, with more to follow.... Katja1.gif By Request; CPO Sha'sarra Katja, Chief of the Boat, USS Inchon, Trekmush (ats.trekmush.org 1701), a Caitian. Lot of argument over just what Caitians look like, and I drew from the "Members of the UFP" reference book, and Ken Sample's drawings of M'ress. Obvioulsy I'm not up to Ken's artistic level as Katja came out no where as cute as M'ress...... Oh well, I'll keep trying..... trbl_02.jpg The second in the "trouble" series; Trouble is captured, appearantly by a "white slavery" ring! More to follow. abtf.gif I've always admired Abacus Juran's furry movie poster series. I really don't know if he's done this one or not (don't think he has), but it was something I just couldn't leave be. Besides, Krrut is the only guy I know (personally) with the lack of sense that lets him jump out of perfectly good aircraft (*GRINS*); thats him hanging from the 'chute. Yeah, I know, lotsa technical errors.... ByReq_UW.jpg This was a request from Trouble, and indirectly from Jenka, or so I'm told. It _was_ going to be just a quick sketch, and as embarrased as I am to say it, something in me just couldn't leave it alone. Hence the fact that its not as "quick and dirty" as I had intended!. One of these days I'm going to learn to say "no" (and mean it too. .. . .) tahl.jpg Another one of my Lion puns; from the statement "taking a hard line". I tried real hard to find another enterpretation of "taking a hard Lion", but this is all I could come up with. Thought of my wife and me on the beach in Hawaii as I was doing it (grins). First use of my "logo"; please let me know what you think! Retreat.gif The entire department at work went on a business retreat, to a beachside resort. Got a lot of useful work done, working from early in the morning to late at night. I just wish they'd held the meetings in the basement, as it was DARN hard to focus, to maintain concentration with the beach in view! dalits.jpg Drawing a Lion in the Sand; a pun on "Drawing a line in the sand" as if that wasn't obvious. From my family vacation (yes, thats supposed to be my wife beside me) at St. George Island, Fl. Animal02.jpg The much awaited sequel to Animal01; this one dealing with fighting. There was a rumor in 'Nam that the 14" screwdriver when properly sharpened made a great dagger. I never believed this, but just had to work it into a picture. Take it for what its worth. Speedc.jpg Speed, or "Never let a Cheetah Drive", from my home page, colorized. Scavenge.jpg Kinda the logical conclusion to Chow-'68 and Speedc. Xmas_97.jpg Merry Christmas to all my friends on FurrySpace, and in CyberSpace in general! Mooneyes.jpg Mooneyes from FurryMuck. Hope she likes the pic. Mooneyes2.jpg Mooneyes from FurryMuck, again. Still trying to prove I can draw something other than Felines. NOT sure I'm succeeding. Trblsunst.jpg Trouble, that cute Cheetah Fem from FluffMuck, jus' hangin' around, in a situation where she's not quite able to appreciate the beauty of the sunset. Again, by request. Zassa.jpg Zassa, the Dancing Vixen of FurryMuck, and an old friend. Zassa2.jpg Another picture of Zassa, inspired by the Ice Dancing in the '98 Winter Olympics. Alice01c.jpg Alice, from my son's videogame "Bloody Roar". how could I leave this alone? My interpretation of that character. Somehow, I just can't help but think of Alice from Furrymuck, even though thats NOT what she looks like...... Alice02c.jpg Another pose of Alice, swiped, uh, I mean "inspired" from the illustration in the instruction manual.... MSHA.jpg This is a doodle from the annual MSHA refresher training; Eight hours of intensive safety training for anyone who works anywhere near a mine. In sympathy for all those that have to suffer through it. Also my first attempt at shading with a pencil..... Chalnge.jpg This one takes a little explaining. I'd been watching the "art duel" between Amara and Lindgold, on Yerf! Seems they're both Star Wars fanatics, but with opposide orientations, and were razzing each other via their art. It finally settled down into a "grudge match" in fighters, Amara the Jedi in her X-Wing, vs. Lindgold. However, Amara brought in the rest of Rogue squadron to support her, and to counter that, Lindgold swapped up to something called a "Tie Defender". Lindgold's a friend on Furry, and I just couldn't let him face odds like that alone, no matter how good a pilot he is. Hence the picture. Maybe after we've polished off Rogue squadron, he and I can figure out who among us is the better pilot....... LionessC.jpg I have to admit, partial inspiration for this one comes from my daughters, who love to lie in the driveway to work on their tans. Of course, if they ever wore so skimpy a suit, I'd have to have words with them...... Zassa3.jpg Another picture of Zassa, the dancing vixen. T&Z.jpg From Kittiara's "Trouble's Tales", a picture of Trouble and Zassa. Are they being punished.... or rewarded? trbldnce.jpg Another picture of Kittiara's Trouble. I've done several of Zassa dancing, figured I owed one to Trouble. I think this style of dance fits her a little better, don't you? mosby_1.jpg This is the character I write about on Scout's WaterWings page. Captain John Mosby of the Schooner "Resurgent". Its a blatant plug for my stories and Scout's page, but if you like furry literature, with everything from action/adventure to romance, and some good old fashioned sex, its a great place. bchasslt.jpg Typical lion behavior. Even on a trip to the beach they wind up "defending their territory". They're such animals (grins). Animal.jpg Not from the previous; "you're an Animal, you know that, don't you?" series, but Animal from "A New Millenium" Yes, I'm plugging my own book, but I thought it made a descent "cover". Mosby_2.jpg Another advertisement for Scout's "WaterWings world" and the stories I've posted there. Katja.jpg Katja is the barmaid at Callahan's, the bar in Port Royale, in FurrySpace, on FurryMuck. This picture is kind of an apology for the rather poor one I did of her in Callahan.jpg. vanankat.jpg "You missed a spot." An advertisement for a story John Henry and I wrote for Scout's WaterWings page. The story's pretty wild, so be warned! Sylviagry.jpg Sylvia, from Todd Sutherland's WaterWings series of stories. Sylvia is copyright Todd Sutherland, and this is with his permission. refuge.jpg Something from my "Tales of the Furry Free Militia?" For Hervystia and Bobcatt and the rest of the FurryNato gang on FurryMuck. Sara.jpg A companion piece to "animal" (see above). This is Sara from my furry novel, and a shameless plug for my book. Trbldrss.jpg Trouble, from Kittiara's story "Changes in lattitudes; changes in attitudes" (trbl9850.txt at http://velar.ctrl-c.liu.se/vcl/Authors/Kittiara). The saga continues! thong01.jpg I've always wondered how a lady with a tail would manage a thong bikini. First of a series 'examining' this problem. c'mere.jpg Its always nice to get e-mail from those who appreciate your art, but one day, I got a letter from a lady complaining that I never did any pictures for the ladies. This is the result. Nala, I hope you like it! liza.jpg From a sketch made while my daughter played softball. The Lady Mustangs had a pretty poor season; that combined with her recent attitude (she's 16; that should explain it all) made me decide to draw her as a skunk. My wife agrees; I shouldn't show this one to her....... thong02.jpg I think I've figured out why I like drawing lionesses. The spots on Cheetahs require a bit of work; the stripes on Tigresses require even more work. The spots on this Leopardess took FOREVER! Still, I think the effect came out fairly well..... by the way, thats foam on the ocean, not clouds in the sky; I know, it didn't come out as well as I would have liked. trblthng.jpg trblchn.jpg These two pictures come from the same "base". As you might expect, as Photoshop 5.0 is released, I'm still struggling to master Photoshop 3.0. This was initially an exersize in perspective, with the mirror; believe it or not, it was started when Trouble was Jenka's pet on one of the mucks (see the previous drawings), before Kittiara even started to write the Trouble series. I figured it was about time I finished it. So, one drawing as a contribution to the "thong" series, R rated, and another drawing following up on one of Kittiara's stories. I suppose I DO still owe Jenka a picture of Trouble in a harem outfit....... dba_swam.jpg Don't be absurd; she's waving at ME! A gentle dig at another of the denizens of Scout's waterwings world; John Henry. The black Pantheress is Jenka, from FurryMuck. thinknot.jpg My commentary on the movie "Starship Troopers." I was kinda hacked at the fact that they didn't stick to Heinlein's vision of the Mobile Infantry; what they left was tactically absurd; in the battles with the bugs, those leg infantry needed armor support BAD! Artillery wouldn't have hurt either...... Join the Mobile Infantry? I THINK NOT! (By the way, thats the hovertank I've drawn in other pictures such as "enroute.jpg". I know thats not exactly obvious.....) hangin'.jpg From a comment on the muck; "Whatcha up to?" "Oh, nuthin', jus' hangin'" And they think I can leave a statement like that alone? Here's Trouble and Zassa, jus' hangin'. Yes, I got permission from their players first. (grins) xmas'98.jpg My Christmas card to all the furries out there. From a true story; my younger daugher INSISTED _THIS_ was the tree; when we got it home, we found the trunk was horribly crooked and it WOULD _NOT_ stand in the tree stand. Had to wire it to the ceiling to make it stand up..... Of course that led to OTHER problems..... callxmas.jpg A Callahan's Christmas. Kittiara saw the Christmas card I'd put out, and gave me one of those looks. After a moment she growled; "So what are you going to do for _ME_?" There was no escape. None. This sketch is the result, and as there wasn't enough time before Christmas to edit it electronically, I swiped my son's colored pencil set and colored it that way. I have to admit, I leared alot about using colored pencils, things from "gee, the colored pencil will smear the lead from the black pencil" to "the paper's getting awfully smudged" to "I think I like this effect....." to "I'm gonna get fired for doodling in these high powered meetings"..... Hope she likes it. thong03.jpg A White Tigress for John Henry, and the next in the "thong" series. john&di.jpg A request from John Henry from Waterwings, for me to do a picture of him and his Girlfriend as furries. She's a Himylayan cat, and I got the colors from a picture they sent. Mil_46.jpg Jeb and Animal from Chapter 46 of "A New Millenium" trbldrs2.jpg Trouble, from Kittiara's story "Marooned" (http://velar.ctrl-c.liu.se/vcl/Authors/Kittiara/trbl9900.txt). park.jpg Most mornings, before the work day starts, I can be found in the West Corner of the Park, on FurryMuck. Just so the folks there might know what they're dealing with, this is my furry alter-ego. Hate to say it, but the gray hair, while there, just didn't come out..... jenkadrs.jpg Jenka, from FurryMuck and Tapestries. Jenka is copyright her player. Started this one to work on cloth drapery, and it turned into a black cat, and THAT turned into Jenka..... Hope she likes it. katja2.jpg I'm still trying to atone for that lousy picture of Katja in "Callahan.jpg". Recently she's taken to wearing this man's large wite shirt, and nothing else.... Think I got this just a little too translucent, but...... wildhare.jpg A demonstration that I can draw more than felines. This isn't any Character I know of, from any muck, just something that came from my imagination. SurfFur1.jpg Starting a new series (OK, from a series of doodles in a really dull meeting). Poof that I can't do Leopards..... SurfFur2.jpg Second in the series. I think I do Cheetahs a little better. hunters.jpg A small pride of morphic barbarian lions on the hunt. Or is that where the male's attentions are REALLY focused? SurfFur3.jpg Third in the series. Think I can do Tigresses better than Cheetahs or Leopards. SurfFur4.jpg A black pantheress. Easier to do them than Tigresses, but how do you show shading on black? Wulf.jpg A tribute to Anthony Pryor-Brown and his Wulf the Freelance stories. The first one of those that I'd read was "Heart of the Lion" and (as you might have guessed) really being into Lions, I just had to do a scene from the story. Its a great read, but beware, its for Adults Only! Mil_48.jpg Animal, and Twitch (flying the helicopter) from "A New Millenium", chapter 48. SurfFur5.jpg A lioness this time; somehow the proportions aren't quite correct, but I'm not sure how to fix it; should she be less "lean"? Dunno. Also, after having lived by the beach for most of my life, you'd think I could draw a better breaker..... BaliHai.jpg Got the inspiration for this one from the logo on a teeshirt my son has. An experiment in doing things right, working on a LARGE scale (my antique computer doesn't LIKE that.... file size approaches five meg) and in tapering my lines. WARNING: I'm hooked on drawing, and there are at least two more in the works. Beware!Please do not alter, but you can distribute them freely.If you really have to contact me, my e-mail is hbkhm@huber.com
