A pic for Accipiter. (Samuel J...His art is here on Yerf.) I tried to get some fur detailing in there, and a bit of failed lighting (It could have had more contrast). I like it overall though. <is happy>

A cute winged blue fox. My weird art muse was in overdrive on this one, I think. Either that, or it was on drugs. (FurBid: http://www.furbid.ws/cgi-bin/auction.pl?print_genfur&1053743421 )

His name is Stubby and he wants to be your friend. He's armless, because I am lazy and my hand started to really hurt.

Yeah, I felt like uploading really old art. A roo in neon colors. I hope everyone goes blind looking at this. ;P

He's the reigning champ surfer, "The Big Kahuna," on the Islands, but here in So. California, it's a glassy sort of day on the water. So much for catching tbe perfect wave. The Big Kahuna is forced to wait it out in the sun, drinking a smoothie and watching the beach goers. He'll be making an appearance at Further Confusion this week (along with a bunch of his beach-lovin' friends) until the waves start showing some action. See you all there!

After a bit of peer pressure from Megan and Skorzy (C'mon! everyone is doing it!) I began to take a bit of an interest in bird watching. I even went so far as to purchase a book of North American birds. I think that's when I began to see that birds have WEIRD names. And in a fit of immaturity, my husband and I began to make up weird bird names of our own and created a game out of it. I created this pic as a graphic for my website. Go Check it out on my site! (www.furnation.com/XianJaguar) You'll find a link to the game on my home page (along with a link to current auctions).

Happy Birthday Thornwolf! After seeing how she eats chocolate rabbits (http://yerf.com/thornwolf/happyeaster.gif), I figured chocolate cakes got the same treatment. Bad werewolf slasher narration included free of charge.

A black dragon I did for the FC art show. He's actually a male dragon, but I neutered him for Yerf. Maybe that's why he looks so irritated.

And this is Blizzard's Badge that I made for him.

This was a 14" x 17" acrylic and marker painting I did that sold at CF12. It's my husband's charachter out hunting. It's the first painterly sort of thing I did for quite some time. I am not sure if I like acrylics yet.

There is something so wrong about this. My husband's character Blizzard, done TCM "children's" style, for one of their products. The bit about the beer I added to MY copy of the pic.

A commission for BluJaguar and StarSpray. I don't think the lettering came out too neat though, but I like the rest of it. Especially the big plant (Diffenbachia?). Marker and colored pencil.

Yay, another commission done! This is Brian O Connell's character, commissioned by his S.O. for his birthday. I found out Glenfiddich 50 year old scotch is $8075 a bottle, when I researched the company for reference. The bottle shown is the 30 yr batch. Also, a try into relatively new territory for me: mirrors and reflections. I like.

Brer Rabbit! He's fishing with his toe! Ok, it's hokey but cute. He sold at CF12.

BUNNY BUNNY BUNNY! Something to fuzzle. Did this at work. Goauche and marker. It'll be turned into a notepad, eventually. I tried to go "dark Natasha" with the fur detailing. Nowhere even NEAR as good, but hey, it still works. Cute lil Bunny © TCM, art by XianJaguar. Barb supplied the idea and composition. Yaay Barb! =)

Well, I thought the previous little sitting jaguar pic I drew was so cute, I re-did it, and added Kiyo and Eriden as well. These were made into birthday cake toppers...I cut them out and laminated them, and stuck them on toothpicks in the cake...the effect was adorable.

A commission for a friend (Catman). Markers and colored pencil on 11" x 14" bristol board. I like the overall "golden" feeling of the colors. First time I ever tried using light peach in the sky. (Westwolf, I *am* working on your pic, honest!) I wish I wasn't so slow at getting art out... I need to accomplish more. (Meg, so much for a short desc.)

A long overdue pic for Chris Sawyer. He and Jack have been so SWEET to Meg and I. So I drew a pic of Chris and me...yes, this is innocent! I'd always gripe about not getting to go horseback riding ever, so one day Chris gave me a horsie-back ride (or is that unicorn back?). I think Meg and Jack thought it was pretty funny. I even managed to fall off. Pretty sad! This is marker and colored pencil.

A commission for J. Porter of the character Corsi. Corsi © J. Porter 2001. Corsi is a little 5" mouse with long black fur. She sits in the palm of a normal sized vixen. I added the bikini bottom in PS for Yerf just to be safe, even though nothing was showing in the original. Marker and Colored pencil. (I like the fur detailing!)

A piccie for CrssaFox! You can tell it's Crssa...she's listening to Earthsuit. =) I had fun drawing this...I used a full-length mirror to pose, and I sketched fast, trying to capture motion, since my pics have been pretty stiff in the past. I think this is a welcome change.

Her name is Cynthia, and she's up for a game of poker! Marker and colored pencils on 9" x 12" bristol board. (Original on Furbid: www.furbid.ws/cgi-bin/auction.pl?furry&1053743730 )
