I keep telling myself I'll color this one of these days; hopefully one day I will before the flaws get to me. Vesta (the tiger) wrestles with a frightened blind walker. Four arms make for a wierd body to draw. Vesta courtesy of her creator.

When I was younger, I was entranced by such things as Star Trek and Dougal Dixon books, and sought to create aliens as nifty as theirs. This is one of the few results that I don't actively want to destroy all evidence of. Naturally eyeless, the blind walker finds its way about its desert home purely by echolocation, broad hind paws giving it sure footing as it sprints across the dunes.

Someone said that they liked the way I use odd or rarely-drawn animals in my pictures, so here's an unlikely pair: a pacific mackerel and a giant panda! (I like drawing anthro fish. Go figure). They're both listening to one walkman, something I always used to see in High School. . . anyway, Jason Connely (the mackerel) and Peter Cheuk (the panda) are both © me as my own creations.

Creature design for a project that never went anywhere (I have a lot of those lying about). It's one of my better ones, though.

It's not particularly complex, but for some reason this image makes me very happy. It's either because it's the only one that didn't have to go in the 'incomplete' pile due to lack of time, or just because it's the best and cutest seal I think I've ever drawn. Oh well, back to work.

My half of an art exchange with Cassandra M. Gibbs. Her leucistic (that is a word, isn't it?) tyrannosaur character, WhiteRex.

A cockatrice water mage, practicing her art at the shore. No generic floating balls of magical energy here. And - look! I can use colored pencils! Somewhat, at any rate.

One of these days I'll stop revising this character, I'm sure. This isn't one of these days. She looks a lot cuter this way, anyway. That thing around her neck is a Chinese-type coin purse - spiritual feathers and amulets are nice and all, but aren't really useful when you have to carry housekeys and student I.D.

I don't do character studies, and to be frank, I don't really understand what they're for anyway. However, I do occasionally need to draw one character in various attitudes - in this case, to produce graphics for my website - and sometimes I really like the way they come out. So here's Yellow3, with a revised look and in various attitudes, and with text all over the place because I was mucking around and got carried away again. Yay.

The marsupial lion is traditionally portrayed as leopard-sized, but there is some debate as to whether it may have been as heavy as the modern lion instead. Drawn partly to repudiate the idea that all (furry) artists draw lions that look like Simba, but mostly as an image for my soon-to-be expanded Thylacoleo page.

I love cephalopods, but it doesn't necessarily follow that they love me. Or Yellow3, for that matter.

A sketch of my multihybrid, Yellow Peter (human, leopard, jackrabbit and gazelle), who I just can't stop drawing like a Final Fantasy character - he's just too cute this way! My inked and finished drawings tend to lose a little vitality in the cleanup process, so I left this one as a sketch. 3H and HB pencils.

Hooray for mutts! Yellow Peter (human, gazelle, leopard, blacktail jackrabbit, domestic cat) is an older one of mine that recently got a redesign he's not too sure about. All he needs now is a female cohort that will invariably fall in love with him and a ridiculous-looking sword bigger than he is. Perhaps attached to a gun for double the overcompensation.

No flags, no eagles, no blood. Only what I remember. A city standing half-empty at midday, emptier than I'd ever seen it at night; talk of death on the buses; schools, colleges, and all government buildings ordered evacuated; and above all else, a pall of fear - how could this have happened? Were there others? Could we be next? Familiar places seemed alien in the shadow of the destruction, and nowhere felt safe, even this far away.
