This was done for Glumilan's Booga Challange. The idea wa to draw your character, or someone else's endorsing cereal, and I figured, what would be the most natural cereal for a wolf to sponsor? Art ©RIchard Bartrop as is Lord Grey.

One of the staples of science fiction are cat-like (or doglike, etc.) aliens. It seems to me that such a creature would, at best, bear a passing resemblence to terestrial critters, while having a radiaclly different anatomy. It's also an experiemtn with a looser, more painterly style, influenced by the work of John Shoenherr. Photoshop.
A commission for an artistic nude of Jason Olsen's character Feren. The style is inspired by the work of Hugh Ferriss, and the work is executed in Photoshop.
Inspired by the Discussion in the Yerf Forum on anthro evolution. An intelligent quadruped that evolved using it's mouth as its primary manipulating appendage. Pencil.
A comment on fan politics. Brushpen
It was only natural that once the werefolk discovered Furry fandom, some would embrace the chance to emulate the animals they identify with. Brushpen over a pencil sketch.

It's been a while, but here's some new stuff. It's an anatomy study I did for Anthrocon '99, and I put it up here as a demonstration of a pose Renaissnace artists called contraposto, and it's still something that's worth knowing.
