Resolution--finished, with WIPs!

This was printed out and re-inked/partially re-sketched to add some more vibrant purple. It printed very dully.  Background is stickers and colored pencil and some gel pen....I love black paper, how did I forget this?

So, this shows the nature of their relationships.  Merriweather and Carlos (shown here in her human/main form) have been together for six years, since he got kicked out, but they broke off their engagement/relationship for a while to work on their individual problems and planned to get back together once they felt they could handle a relationship again.  They did so but almost didn’t since they both saw other people too.  So this is recently after they got back together recently and at this point in time of the image…and they’re doing better.

Lindsay is Carlos’ best friend and roommate and offers sound advice and good support on everything she does.  She also has helped Merriweather with his own issues many times and they’re good friends, although not as close as him and Carlos.  He currently lives with some other friends since he’s still working out some things he’d like to get over with before moving in with them again, but normally Merri would live with Lindsay too.

Hence why Lindsay’s face is covered up in favor of them holding hands, I guess.  Glue or something, IDK.  Stars and OTT sweet and puffy stickers, I’m happy <3 Very happy with the outcome, this is my favorite thing so far this year maybe <3

Sketch.

Ink minus Carlos' messed up head.  

Fluttershy ACEO, Bailey pin-up, Cute puppy, and MANY sketches/WIPs...

 Fluttershy ACEO!  Will add Twilight later, I have to tweak something and she'll be done.  Omg, this series is almost done ;-;

Headshot sketch requests from Tuesday's streams.  

Fortinbras!  Typical pomeranian specimen.  Super cute.  Belongs to Andy & Liam.  Scan tried to remove his nose, apparently.

Thank-you sketch for Boe, he's sending me a book. :) 

Really gross and stupid sketch of Liam racing down...a hill....to kill Sam with a knife?  With his other dog Hamlet derpily by his side...or is that nobly.  Sam isn't phased since you can't kill the dead.  She just wanted to take her repulsive stinking reanimated deer carcass for a stroll.  Jeeze, people.  :/

(based off of something in shadowed lives...this doesn't actually happen in the comic...so...yeah.)

She can decorate herself and her deer by sticking in decorative needles and pins.  Yum!....Also she has a bloody nose so that's the line on her face :P Will also sew on flower designs, ribbons, fabric scraps, pearls and beads, etc. to her deer friend.  (inspired by some heavily decorated taxidermy I saw on tumblr.)

Group dance picture.  Was going well until I did Carlos' face.  ;-; gonna print it out and try again....*sigh*

I needed a ref for a fist and forgot to look it up.  Hence the missing hand.

Badge, sketch, and adult ACEO

<3 My BFF and co-owner of nearly all the characters has a birthday coming up and got to be a guinea pig for my 20s photography badges.  This was so fun to make, all my favorite things at once pretty much!  I hope others commission me for them JUST so I can draw more of them, they're so fun.  $15 each, they're standard badges.

A sketch I've had kicking around for a while.  Trying to make more dynamic images, draw more humans, and human/anthro interaction.  Also I wanted to show their relationships through movement and positioning. I think I did a good job.  Transferred and began inking, it'll get purple sketch lines added since I really love how they look.

Kept forgetting to scan/post, it's in my portfolio pile.  A few animals I sketched at the museum.  I love taxidermy specimens...they stay still for you.  the fawn is my favorite.  His/her spots were SO vivid, but the shading I did made it hard to add them.  I originally was going to paint them on later.

Made two months ago (close to when the above was made).  A lot I'm not thrilled with but overallI like it.  I may finish it.  And yes, I do see Baphomet as my preferred way to visualize the universe/nature in a single form of chaos and balance.  Philosophically I'm similar to a LaVeyan Satanist but not exact.  And while I haven't done much yet I have a lot of interest in sigil work and other kinds of magick.  I never thought I'd find faith but hey, look.

This is not meant to be "satanic" or "offensive" imagery.

2/15/11: Three ACEOs; One's for V-Day! // Ref & Pin-up WIPs

DON'T FORGET THE RAFFLES: furaffinity.net/journal/3167400/

First, a trade with Brett!

I had a lot of fun drawing this character for him.  Except for the Not-Dog and a few miscellaneous sketches I don't get to draw monstery critters!  I REALLY love how it came out, I had been saving that ACEO for something special since I had colored it a while ago.

It's iridescent IRL so it's super shiny.

TESS!

Meant to go along with the ACEOs I've been doing of my girl characters being sexy.  This one is a little more clean than the others, I guess, since she's the most covered and the material's opaque :P  Gonna do an orange-yellow background.  Make her look all fiery and hot (punny).

1/22/11: Trade//Ref//Adult Trade//ACEO

As it says.  Trades, ref, ACEO.

I'm not going to shade my MLPs anymore.  I only did it once.  Here.  I don't like how it looks.  Still, pleased with how it came out in terms of pose...gonna cut it out and rescan.  Trade half with Opossumsrubnoses. 

Lindsay finished.  I used graphite instead of iridescent stuff on the background...Pretty happy with how it looks.  A lot of people draw her with brown patches instead of grey, but the actual breed can have either.  I prefer her with the grey, but it's shown here to be a sort of grey-brown.  Her new ref will come soon, I hope. 

Other trade and ref under the cut. Nudity AND adult content.

01/15/11: ACEOs // MLP

 One finished pony, two finished ACEOS, one unfinished.  Yep.

 Sweet Surprise finished!  I'm thinking all my ponies will be unshaded....I like this look.

Emma being hot.  Iridescent medium on the background!  I love the pose too.  Oh man.

I really like this.  It's done but I haven't gotten to scanning yet.  Lindsay's a fashion model...and I had seen a few things on tumblr that were these lace-only dresses...or something.  No undergarments....hmm.

 Gift for Angel.  <3  Her and Sam, inspired by Renaissance Madonna with Child imagery.  I sure do love halos....

July 20, 2011: Design//Linework//Buttons//Hiatus

I've neglected scanning.  I have a huge pile of daily sketches but it's now so big that I think I'm only going to scan a few of them, and at that, I'll only be able to do so after I come back from vacation.
Vacation's around 8 days, I'll have internet access but no scanner with me.  Hoping to get a lot done, though.

I may be redoing my layout on here.  I'm not sure.  I have to decide what purpose this blog is going to serve....
Meanwhile, here's art I've been meaning to post. :)

Collaboration sketch for Hizzie.

Final of a tattoo design for myself.  

Sketches for above design. 

Badge for Sophie, part of a gift pack I sent her.  I like these; I may do more quick scrap badges (this is pencil and colored pen only) for gifts or commissions in the future.  Or for myself.  Hell, I never draw for myself. 

FROM HERE DOWN, BUTTONS.  Nothing inappropriate, but it's VERY IMAGE-HEAVY!  

I've put these up for input...I'll be linking the individual images to a survey or facebook or something to get a feel for which I should make.  I want to make buttons.  I have two more designs that aren't done yet, that are being drawn specifically for this purpose. 

4/6/11

I am SICK as a DOG.  Which is fitting if my fursona's a coydog.  Hahaha.

So while I'm home with the same exact damn sinus infection I had a few weeks ago (I apparently needed a second dose of the antibiotics but no one thought I did at the time, way to go guys) I've been working on reference sheets (all I do anymore, am I right?) but I also have an exciting announcement as well as some finished work that I am really happy with.
As per usual refs are under the cut.

First-off, I finally finished part of my trade with Twinklestah!
It's her fab fox girl Tika-Tiri doing some maaaagical stuff with a few bones and feathers.  My canine anatomy -sucks- and I'm the first to admit there's something off with her neck, but I'm still pleased with how this ended up.  I like the coloring and I bought this funky paper-tape border stuff that I used on here (it sort of tore, sorry about that Dx) and I really love it.  The background, I edited with little thread-marks...so it's patchwork, for the Patchwork Plane, where her characters live.

Then it's the final version of Dance In The Dark, for that challenge I'm giving myself to live a little within my art and just sort of do things.  It scanned -horribly- but I don't really have a camera handy so...yeah.
I'm really happy with it.

Now it's just a million ref WIPs and a finished thing of Carlos.
Some nudity under the cut.

Carlos.
This is just a change for her current ref, which needed updating.  I just sort of totally BS'd her first ref and the anatomy was crap.  I took a lot of time on this one and I think it portrays her body type, coloring, and markings MUCH better.  I'm really pleased with her ears, the softness of the grey facial "freckles" and how I colored the iridescent scales on her arms and legs.
Her tail is different now, way thinner, but that's about it.  Small chest, slender, rather androgynous...her basic body shape hasn't changed -that- much.  Pre-op trans, afraid of surgery and hospitals and unwilling to commit to a sex reassignment operation for many reasons.
I was aiming to get her personality in the pose.  She's a little childish, loves dressing up and feeling girly, and likes being the center of attention.

Rachel.
This is the original ref idea, but I liked her face pointing up better so I traced and redid that.  She's stretching her arms behind her back and kind of.  stretching in general.
I wanted to--again--get her in the pose so I was trying for something casual, sexy, and teasing.  Rachel isn't exactly a sleaze but is obsessed with her own body image.  She is a successfully recovered anorexic, and used to use her body as power over men she dated, but usually wound up being used.  Old habits die hard--there's a part of her that still wants to attract men she doesn't necessarily want to date.  A deep-down desire to be an exhibitionist except she knows she'd regret it and hate it heartily (lol, she's been scouted for porn but always laughs in the peoples' faces and declines).  Also she's WAY into body art, but I didn't include her tattoos on the anthro ref.  The human one--she's usually a human--will come later.

The idea behind the design is her self-criticism.  She knows, in a vague way, that she's attractive or capable of being attractive at least, but really doesn't see herself as such through her own eyes.  She likes chinese crested dogs and has one named Winnie, who is her little bby, and opossums are vermin that dig through the trash--she sees herself as trashy due to who she used to be and the people she used to date, some of which were really dangerous men that hurt her.  So she threw them together to make something of two animals many people see as ugly.  It's really sad I guess.

ALSO LIAM UP THERE
his pose is unassuming otherwise it would be REALLY stupid and silly so I thought I'd save us.  I'm not sure if the proportions or anatomy are right but I like his face.  He's fun to draw.

(dan's ref used this whole let's be posing like our personalities thing, he was standing looking awkward instead of loud and obnoxious, because deep down inside he is a sad little boy)

More of Tess.  She's a shameless OMG BOOBS character, I'll admit, and her pose doesn't really mean anything except HEY GUYS I'M A SUGAR GLIDER.
She's modest and doesn't really like her breasts much, they're too big and therefore make it hard for her to wear certain cut tops and dresses and whatnot while still looking modest.  I always feel really bad for certain girls at my school who -insist- on wearing tops I'd look fine in that due to their chest size they appear to spill out of.  Sucks.  One of the reasons Tess likes Lance/Emilie so much is that he's not constantly eyeing her chest.  She's got a cute color scheme aww.  Reminds me of toast.

Also more Emilie. XP  I'm working on the background.

veeeery pleased with this!

AND NOW THE EXCITING NEWS

after like two years of almost no use I am finally using Bailey again.  I was watching Velvet Goldmine over the weekend and was all the sudden LOVING him again.  It was magical.
So this is him.  I actually checked my anatomy for once.
EXCEPT I'm changing the legs, screwed up the hand horribly and tried to replace a finger somewheres else and ended up making a mess, and I really do NOT like the shading inside his ears and one is too short.  So that will all be fixed.
So I'm editing the scan.
BUT ANYWAY OMG I MISSED HIM

Lindsay

BFFs with Carlos, lives with her and Carmichael and during certain times Merriweather too.  Does a lot of stuff for a living, makes good money, is kind of on the rise.

3/29/11

FIRSTLY, I made a new header.  The old one was big and ugly and I meant to remove it and somehow forgot to....Anyway.  Anyway, I will -probably- make a new one using the same elements in a little while if/when I get an animating program in anticipation of college.  

I challenged myself to make 100 images--or something like that, maybe more--where I would draw something to a song or something that would have to come easily or be worked on in whatever way I wanted.  This is finished now but it started with the background, which was splatter art.  It's not quite done, I think.  I'm planning to add some shadows and iridescent medium and some text.  So you don't see it yet.  Soon, though.  I promise.  This was to Dance in the Dark by Lady GaGa.  

I traced and reworked the old version of this.  Evelyn Evelyn fanart.  http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=2182416918151440743&postID=6558473618026877693 original version.  

 I could've sworn I scanned a trade for twinklestah, whose blog on here is REALLY awesome and you should all see it: http://twinklestah.blogspot.com
But I either didn't or finished cleaning it up before I transferred things to my new laptop.
