Playing around with fur textures
The shadows of the buildings are gone. The shadow of the tragedy will hang over us for a long time.
Nestine: A fieldmouse game somewhat like half-court full contact basketball. The goal is to thread your team's plume through the ring on a tall fencepost.
Platinum, designed for a button to wear to AnthroCon.
"Swimming with Sharks", pencil crayon on pastel paper, sold at Anthrocon. A female otter vs a couple 'Pool Sharks'. Bonus points to anyone who catches the obscure reference in this scene.
Finally I get the guts to not only actually experiment with a REAL Photoshop program (All this time I've been using a PhotoDeluxe program =P ), but also try my hand at drawing completely on the computer. The first of my experiments is Clint here, one of four rooster characters I've created. The other 3 will show up eventually. Clint and pic © Nicole Trujillo
First rule of Big-headed Dog Fetish Club: You do not talk about the Big-headed Dog Fetish Club.
"Raccoon Whisky," 8.5" x 11" pen & ink. This one is in a friends sketch book from MFM 2001. Its a character self portrait. This is what happen when I'm at a con for 5 days, getting no sleep, and drink to much. *Grin*
"Dock Worker," 8.5" x 11" Pen & ink. A medevil fish butcher, who loves his job, maybe a little to much. This otter has been picked up for Ironclaw. This Image is ©Sanguine Productions Ltd. http://www.sanguineproductions.com

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.
Back off, creep! 11x14 colored pencil and marker with a wink and a nudge to Adam ;) This, of course, was started earlier, but with all that's happened, its understandably late :P
I got a new job! It's great, designing stuff for kid's books and classroom materials. This is the art I drew for a book cover, "Bears Thematic Unit", © TCM. Markers, prismacolor pencils, photoshop sky.
Completed at last, my cover for Furrlough.
a Jack London moment: starving in the tundra, eating leather. The raven just wants scritches.
