- New illo for the upcoming issue of Anthrolations.
- Just a tiny drawing I scribbled during lunch today.
- New character...he still needs a name. (Any suggestions?) :) He's an odd critter who appears to be a hybrid of mule, otter, and wild dog...along with god-knows-what-else.
- Here's an example of the sort of thing I've been working on lately: a "How to Draw Western Wildlife" project. Obviously, this is the Desert Bighorn sheep section, page 1 of several. I hope to get this made into a book eventually. I've also seen a lot of desert bighorns lately, so it's natural I'd make a section on them. Well, back to work for me....busy busy....
- Pic's story/origin in a nutshell: while going on vacation to the city of Ponce once, I noticed a white plastic bag caught on some barb wired fence and suddenly imagined it being a Snow Monkey of sorts playing on it, or a white cockatoo trying to free itself from them. Since I coudn't decide which image was worth drawing more, I meshed them. And now you know.
- Yet another shot at using dip pens (actually, I did this one before I did ntbgenji.jpg), this time with Kasumi and her rarely-spoken-of older brother Shinji. He was actually given a bit of an overhaul, adding markings similar to that of a real Raccoon Dog. It looks good on him, in my opinion.
- BEHOLD! A vulture with pants! Quick colored pencil practice thing. Yeah.
