Long Awaited Update

A few things I finished up during the last couple months, but failed to post here. ^_^

An Elf and a Kitty

Hey, both have pointed ears. XD

First of all, I finished Willow's character sheet. I think the frontal sketch in the corner is the one that best fits her personality.

And... we have yet another anthro-cat finished! Here we have Lily, Queen of the Nile. ^_^ It totally fits her personality, because she usually acts like she's queen of the house. XD I had a lot of fun playing with the Egyptian Cat idea just for the reason that the Egyptians actually had a cat worshiping cult, and a cat goddess (Bast). I struggled a bit with coming up with some hieroglyphics for the background, until it dawned on me: "Hey! I bet DAfont has some Egyptian wingdings or something!". Lily's name is actually spelled out in the kartushes (sp?) on the columns there. Typically I color the hair on the top of their heads the same (or a similar) color as their fur, but since most ancient Egyptians wore wigs, I figured I'd just go with the traditional black.

More Creature Art!

Yes! More of the art with the creatures and the stuff! XD

A Kirin in a forest clearing. This is the second incarnation of this picture- the first one just didn't sit right with me, until I realized that the photo that I'd chosen to put the creature in was the problem. It didn't have enough contrast. So! I changed it to this one instead.

Ollie placed in a starry scene. I'm extremely happy with this one. He fits so perfectly into the photo it's not funny. XD


An Amphitere attacking from a high branch. Basically, an amphitere is a snake with wings like a bird, though in this case I've turned it into a feathered serpent.

Art Day

Today has been nothing but an art day today- which is good, I needed some good 'ol fashioned art therapy.


Hm... I must be having a blue day or something. Both pieces are painfully bluish.

In any case, the first is a sketch of a Pixie that I thought I'd try to incorporate into a background of some type. I'm pretty pleased with the results. The background is another one of my photos that I've applied the "Cutout" filter to. I also used some of the Photoshop lighting effects.

The second is a Character Sheet for Jasmine, which I've been meaning to finish for quite some time now.

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.
