- "Anupissed" Its a piece for the ConFurence art show. color pencil, india ink & watercolor paints on paper that was much too thin for the job. Note that I signed my name in heiroglyphs. cute, huh? HUH???
- Artsy. Inspired by a photograph of Jackson Pollack. (look him up, kids.)
- Number 8. The Black Lemur. Distribution: Northern Madagascar Habitat: Tropical Forests.
- (re-upload due to Yerf outage) Originally supposed to be a thank you pic for Hedgy.. but I didn't have any info or reference material on her character, so here's a grey-white generic furry girl thing with a BIG gun. (a Barret .50 BMG... it shoots through schools...)
- A preview teaser poster for ConFurence XI: THE FANDOM MENACE. (see the alternate non-yerfable, black & white version at http://wolf.tierranet.com/altart/cf-sw2.jpg)
- Tired of being classified as a one-trick pony by the fandom, I've begun a series of drawing mammals, and studying their nuances. Thus starts the series "The Yerf Guide to Freid's Mammals" No. 1: The Echidna. (sorry folks, it looks nothing like "Knuckles")
- Duck! and Cover! do you know what to do when you see the flash? Bert the Turtle does! and so does this nifty fox guy... but the poor Civil Defense warden seems to have forgotten all of his training! Bad Wolf! no donut! (colored version of an older pic)
- Lack of communication leads to weird stuff. Consider the following conversation... Jay: Draw a fox hang-gliding. Mark: What? a fox hanging??? Jay: No, a fox HANG GLIDING!!!
- A vixen, inspired by the "Tales of the Fehnnik" series. (Fehnnik is © Elin Winkler)
- Number 3 in the Yerf Guide to Freid's Mammals - The Greater Glider. Distribution: Eastern coast Australia from Cairns, Queensland to Dandenong Range, Victoria. Habitat: Eucalypt forests
- It's my "Evil Twin".... "Goth" Canuss. Pretty scary, huh? (nothing against goths... you just wouldn't catch me DEAD (or undead?) in such a getup)
- It's Kioh. A totally hip raccoon I met on the mucks. This is his "I'm innocent of the charges that have been brought against me" look.
- Laika. One of the first Russian Cosmonauts. She died for her country.
- "Lead Panda"
- Number 6. Lemur Catta. The Ringtailed Lemur. Distribution: Southern Madagascar... Habitat: Rocky mountains with sparse vegetation.
- The liberation of Dogchau
- It's Malton of FurryMUCK! The amazing Canadian... Interceptor Jet Fighter?? You betcha! Here he takes out his aggressions in typical supersonic STYLE!
- This past weekend I had to have my pet Cocker Spaniel, Marval put to sleep. He was my best friend and companion for 15 years, the first face to greet me when I came home from school, from college, and from work. Between shots of tequila, I drew this Saturday night.
- Number 2 in the "Yerf guide to Freid's Mammals" series. The Murine (or "mouse") Opossum.
- It's the KPET team! well, most of them... Lorna's not here... mostly because I ran out of space. Look at Kevin! what a glory hound! Newshounds & the KPET crew are ©1998 Thomas K. Dye
- RacRat's Nik & Nak! As drawn in my own inimitable style. I'm not sure why I drew them, I just dig the characters. oh, before I forget... Nik & Nak are © Jennifer Rodriguez, and don't you forget it. (Uploaded with her permission)
- A ww2-themed pic inspired by a still from "Saving Private Ryan"
- Number 7. Dendrolagus Lumholtzi. The Lumholtz Tree Kangaroo. Distribution: Atherton Tableland, northern Queensland, Australia. Habitat: Rain Forest
- Peg. the first incarnation, minus the facial markings and ponytail that she now sports.
- My occasionally-drawn vixen character, Peg.
- Peg. Sucking her finger in typical fanboy-bait style
- It's a smart-ass penguin... actually, a logo idea for a local business. they didn't choose this one. too bad, I kinda like it.
- Number 5. The Spotted (or "Pinto") bat. Distribution: Western North America from interior Southern California east to New Mexico, from Montana south to Queretaro, Mexico. Only a few dozen of this species have ever been found. Yes it's ears are that large.
- Way back when, about 1990, I spent a summer working for the "wheelchair tennis foundation" teaching archery to handicapped kids. Boy was I embarassed when some of them turned out to be better shots than me! aaaargh! Was I ever proud.
- Number 4: The Egyptian Rousette. Districution: Throughout sub-Saharan Africa, the Nile Valley, Arabia and the Near East. This is the classic bat found in Ancient egyptian artwork, and originally discovered in the great pyramids. In my opinion, one of the two good-looking bats in existance (the other being the Indian flying fox)
