- So maybe the commercial hasn't aired for a few months, but the fashion trend still seems to be goin' strong. Anyhow, I'm aiming for at least Runner-Up in the Really Obscure Yerf Reference category. :)
- "There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that. . . from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved." - Charles Darwin, _On the Origin of Species_. (_Acanthostega gunnari_)
- This and the two images that follow (cynog.jpg and acantho.jpg) are taken from a poster I made for a final project in my upper-division theology class; they come with some of the quotes on the poster. Here _Archaeopteryx bavarica_ floats down in a pose taken from a church image; to its left is a hypercube cross superimposed on a Japanese zen enso (mysticism), to its right, a birdwing butterfly flutters above a strange attractor (chaos).
- "If, after you look into your own heart, you find nothing wrong there, what is there to worry about. What is there to fear?" - Kung Fu-tzu. (_Cynognathus sp._)
- For Cleckmoon. A lone _Iguanodon lakotaensis_ browsing on a hill on the old American east coast looks back as it startles a small hypsilophodont from the bushes (possibly _Zephyrosaurus_); a pair of _Ornithocheirus_, male and female, glide by in the distance. I'm getting better at backgrounds, but now I need to learn how to shade them.
- I've been working on developing that gypsy fox character, this is the sixth sketch. I now also have a name for her, Mirandus (thanks Raini! *hug*). Anyway I didn't bother uploading the other developmental sketches because they're really not good enough for Yerf, they're on VCL if you want to see them. This one is I think pretty close to her final look, though her hairstyle may yet change. She's © me.
- My part of an art trade. Meg is © Erin V.
- Seanar redux! Though I guess nobody here ever saw how she looked before. (Her fur used to be black.) She's © me, even though I forget what her name's supposed to mean. I don't know her species either.
- "Why could I not die, yet others fade away..."--Shaded Red 'Nother S.R. induced pic... though this one doesn't necessarily have anything to do with one of their songs. I just thought it would be cool. Image ©me, lyrics © Shaded Red
- Another one of Seanar's kind... Well, whatever they are, they have wings. I was messing around with the coloration and decided that variations are acceptable...
