Studies of Erica Starfox, Scarlet's sister. He's younger, slimmer, and less defined than her big sister. She also lacks very long head hair. Erica is copyright Shawntae Howard 2002

Artica Lagopus. Shorter then Scarlet with a little more weight on her. Decided to do a sketch of her skull using photos of artic fox skulls and modifying it a little. Artica copyright Shawntae Howard 2002.

Now I know why the black widow is called its name, this one almost killed my poor inking pen. Took forever to get this shiney look on her and all the hairs on the big tarantula. Trying to keep my Mr. Versatile self lable, I wanted to do morphs that no one else usually try. Would they be considered arachnotaurs? As of yet named critters copyright Shawntae Howard 2002.

Trying to get myself out of an artist block, I did this pic for my Artica fan club reaching over 500 members. Slightly "Yerfafied" for rules approval. Artica (C) S. Howard

Was interesting drawing a charater that's almost twice my age. Made me do a lot of research on the character too and learned a lot about him I didn't know. This was my first attempt at drawing himn and again done at Six Flags.

Another more realistic color pencil drawing of one of my characters. This is CeeCee Reese, the weasle (not otter) in her mid-winter white phase. She's holding a lemming on her paw. Why? Cause it was in the nature book I was using as a reference. Hey, and she's pink too, sorta here.CeeCee copyright Shawntae Howard (check out Yahoo Club Extinctioners) :)

Thanks to Joshua the Samuri, there will be an Extinctioners Soundtrack availble in limited numbers for AC this year. I'm hoping to make it a music/art cd (if I can figure out the technology of the CD burning software I have to make a split cd)At anyrate, this is the cover of the mini booklet I'm making for it that will feature art of each character who gets their own song and bio info on them. (BTW, I'll be gone from home for a week this posts so please hold e-mails and old e-mails, I'll get back with you when I get home). Extinctioners copyright S.Howard 2002

These are the page designs I made for the booklet I added with the CD. I went for a very simplified design focusing on shape and color more so than detail. Copyright S. Howard 2002.

Ah, my first upload under the new system. Nice. Well here's the logo design for the music/art CD I put together for this years AC. Once I got the design of the display on it worked out, I'll offer it to the general public. Characters copyright Shawntae Howard 2002

More booklet designs. Each character shown had a song individually made by the talented Joshua the Samuari. The music was copyright to him. Images S.Howard 2002

With each page of the booklet I tried to give some basic info on the character with short bios and a little quote that fit the mood of the music that was created for them. Copyright Shawntae Howard 2002.

Another example of the booklet pages I made for AC. I liked the way the Solarfox one came out and yes Scarlet is holding a mic cause she actually likes to sing. Copyright Shawntae Howard 2002.

Perhaps my favorite of the pages is the Vague one. She came out looking very good to me. I also like how the color of her is complimented by the blue of the background. Copyright Shawntae Howard

Artica Lagopus done in a more realistic way in colored pencils. She's wearing a copyright t-shirt with my sig ($) which is made up of the letters "S", "L", "H". If there's any doubt, she's copyright Shawntae L. Howard 2001.

Maxwell is a cat that really has nine lives. As Copycat he has the ability of creating 8 energy based duplicates of himself that are so real it seems like they are almost alive, or are they. Not the most energetic of the group, you could say he's down right lazy except when it comes to sports or finding time for his kitten love, Katherine. Just never say "you and what army" around this guy cause you might not like his reply. Copycat copyright Shawntae Howard 2001.

I've been practicing doing some simple fighting game like animations of my characters using ImageReady. This is a basic starting stance of Micro and Copycat with some color swatches for memory sake and if anyone wants to draw them they'll have the color reference ready. Copyright S. Howard 2003
