First of ten images for my new project: a print portfolio entitled 'XenoCetacea' which I hope to have done in time for AC '03. :)
More Yipper Coyote....
Hi all- just posting a sketch to let you know I'm still around... just busy lately. Here's Yipper Coyote, lookly confused, as usual... and apparently weightless, too, which might be why he's confused!
"Dreaming of Mice and Men"...A she-werecat morphing. Pic made on scratchboard with a silver backing.
This cute little guy is part fairy, part unicorn, and part dragon, thus his name: "Fayunidrac". :) Done in pencil and ink.
A cross between an Oriental and European dragon. Done in pencil and ball point pens.
Art trade with the awesome Karena Kliefoth, of her lovely anthro saluki char, 'Gaelif'. (I just LOVE salukis!) Done in ink, with an "old photo" filter applied.
A stone lion's head. Done in gouache and shaded with colored pencils.
"Robby Raccoon" - Dedicated to a raccoon who lost his tail not too long ago.
"Tweezer" - a mentally disordered weasel.
I haven't drawn this pair since my style shifted two years ago, so it was well past due. Castor and Pollux revamped, carrying one of their cubs across a Grecian terra-cotta background. Based on a photo of Elsa the Lioness.
Fear the octopine with the scaled-down escrima sticks! Drop shadows are not my friend.
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.
GLEE! Another self-portrait, capturing the bouncy happy dance instead of the usual slinky menace. This was originally done as a userpic for Livejournal, but stands up at larger sizes, too.
This was an exercise in playing about with simple geometric shapes, flat areas of color, sharp contrasts and the application of a more detailed texture. Acrylic on board.
This was meant to be a contrast or commentary on the 'sons' of Feudal era Samurai, what actually resulted from their efforts and violence. Acrylic on board.
A self portrait done in Adobe Illustrator.
I wanted to try something sulaco style. :I I suck at clouds ^_^
It's a birdy. He likes you.
It took some time, but Ronald eventually realized that he wasn't like the other teddy bears...
Poor Ly. She bears the brunt of my artistic brainfarts with quiet dignity and grace. PFFTTh. Yeah, right!
Commission of Natetia the dragon. Natetia is (C) Matthew Carpenter.
