- My Amber character was a Chaosite, and this was his "demon" form. He grew up in a Shadow among a tribe of werewolves, so his "normal" form was a furry wolfman instead of the usual human form. Pen and ink, scanned, colored with Painter 5, background created with Kai Power Tools.
- My first attempt at computer coloring - a big bear with a big axe.
- My "Black Bunny O'Doom" costume. Rat won't let me upload the photos, but I figured a drawing of it should be OK.
- A bunny-gal, talking on a vidscreen. I made the transparent vidscreen effect in Illustrator/Photoshop, so I can drop it on top of various faces.
- A generic bunny, playing her flute on a windy day...
- Another panel from the Biz Wars post. I split them up to keep the files small. The mountains are clipped from a photo, all the rest was drawn in Painter5. Copyrights same as in BWzap1.jpg
- Generic horse stallion, naughty bits erased to appease the Rat God. From a racial description sheet for my CyFurPunk campaign.
- I've been making some drawings for Con of the North. One big color one involves a battle between CotN's mascot and a bunch of savage lizardmen. This fellow will be mostly hidden in the crowd when the pic is done, so I thought I'd extract his layer and put him up here.
- A cute male bunny wearing a jacket. Partial pic.
- Me and my Vest of Many Pockets visit the Minneapolis Zoo.
- Pencil sketch of a scruffy-looking hyena person.
- Dusk Aheyesviha, a tough, independent-minded female bunny. Here she's in an unusually peaceful mood, relaxing under a tree. hand-drawn and scanned, background added in Painter. Partial pic.
- Another facial shot of Dusk Aheyesviha.
- Draw our characters fat, eh? All right. Otookee discovers the downside to eating all the Christmas cookies and candy and fruitcake and eggnog ALL AT ONCE...
- "Trust me!" Locksley the jennie-fox Fixer makes a deal over the phone. From my Neustral CyFurPunk RPG campaign. Locksley (C) his player.
- An early furry drawing from high school- a pirate vixen.
- Actually, busses and trains would smell *better* - fur-covered critters don't sweat like humans do. They pant instead ...
- The rest is filled in using the Airbrush tools, and the Bulge brush on the bubbles. Taa-daah! The eeeevil Dr. Catlove in his orbital laboratory! Every mad scientist needs an orbital laboratory. And a start lever with a big red button on top.
- I now carefully select and mask out each part of the image that will be a different texture or color, saving each mask with a descriptive name. Painter lets me choose the mask display color, so I set it to an approximation of the final color to let me judge the composition. This is the most painstaking and fiddly part of the process; it took over 3 hours for this pic. To save memory, I combine some small parts that are non-adjacent into the same mask.
- This was a card for a friend of mine ... he plays a unicorn in my CyFurPunk campaign and his birthday's on Groundhog Day. Done in Painter 5.0 (no, it's not a photo background), nifty opalescent effects with Kai's Power Tools 5.
- Generic space reptile with a gun. Old scan, colored in Painter 5 using Chalk and Airbrush tools.
- A Lizard pic I drew on the cover of a cardboard box of Magic cards.
- A Lizard child makes a toy spear from a bone and a stick. I've been drawing the Lizards since I was 5, and only gradually got into other critters.
- Lizard shamaness, created for a set of cardstock figures (hence the "sample" overlay - I'm still selling them).
- Lizards of rival tribes fighting. My second try at computer coloring. This is a partial pic - Rat objected to the red lizard's naughty bits so I chopped 'em off. :)
- I got me a scanner! This is Melisande, feline ace reporter, and an NPC in my CyFurPunk campaign.
- Koloorin in his ottaur form. Otters can't resist puns!
- Yippeeee!!! Yerf's up! Done in Painter 5.0
- An otter jams to the tunes on his waterproof Walkman.
- Well, laid off, actually. This happened 2 months ago, right after my birthday, but only now has the bitterness receded enough to make a joke of it. There was no warning, I went to work one day as normal, six of us were called into the conference room and told "Clean out your desks by the end of the day". At least I got severance pay. Some birthday present, eh?
