Back in the Groove

Back again after a month's absence. XD I should really try to be more consistent. Anywho, here's a few things I've been working on the past couple days. I'm not really sure what sparked my creativity again, but I sure feel better now that I've got it back. (At least for a while.)


This one's been lying around in my art folder labeled "Dragons" for a long while now. I finally got the inkling to finish him off. Its something I call a Makanoo- the inspiration came from a Native American mythological fresh water serpent that was said to spit balls of water at anyone who came too close. It was described as being snake-like with a set of deer antlers on it's head, so I took the idea and ran with it. It sort of became a snake-moose-fish-turtle.

This one is just a quick doodle I did while working on some drawings of Willow. It's from a short story I wrote a while ago involving her and a tavern boy named Ivan. (I hope to someday turn it into a full-length tale, but I've got to finish Landon and Dahlia first.)

Here's another doomed Threadless submission. (I'm just a sucker for punishment, I guess.) I took a sketch I'd done of a magical deer-creature I'd invented called a Trian and twisted it into a design. The trees in the background are from a photo I took that was altered with the "Cutout" filter in Photoshop.
