Wanna see a fossil? Here it is, from early last year. I still have no idea what's with that left foot or right ear, or what he's so downcast about, or why he's standing in space. But I like his design, particularly the musk-ox-like horns.

I was bored in my theology class, and was listening to actors scream as they recreated the torture of early muslims, so I doodled for something else to do. She's the end result - probably an Elemental of Pain, or something like. I think I might have gone overboard with the spikes. No name, no background, no nothing.

This is an older image, but one I still enjoy. Like Naomi, Elena Zreik is a pre-muck character of mine, created after a search for some new and unique species to draw (in this case, Pallas's Cat - the only wild longhaired cat). She's also my first attempt at drawing the sort of loose clothing I wear. . . not entirely sure how successful an attempt, but it's still a nice image.

Remember Seth and Omadon? Here's their mother, Epona, curled around her unhatched young on a nest of hoarded gold. . . . I don't seem to draw hoards well. Darn.

Three...ah...lovely ladies from Toons, Fur, and Fluff. Clockwise from top are Jiao-Long (Tyrannosaurus/Tarbosaurus bataar), Heyyou (Troodon), and Krishva (Procompsognathus). Jiao-Long found out that catching fireflies in your mouth isn't the best way, and bugged the other two to help. . . Krishva is © Kristin Jaque, and Heyyou © Cindy Cabrera. Jiao-Long is © me.

A character I once played on Fursperia before giving her up to another player, this epaulated bat alchemist is mixing up another of her mysterious (and often explosive)concoctions.

Jumbo shrimp digivolves to. . . GHARULLON! Actually, this particular beast predates such animated crack by several years, but watching the show made me want to draw it again. The gharullon is a blind, whale-shaped, filter-feeding crustacean the size of an orca, kept afloat by powerful sweeps of its telson (tailfins) and by gas chambers inside the carapace.

Original doodle of Yellow Peter, who has recently undergone some major rehauling (for starters, he's been reclothed as a contemporary cubicle rat, rather than the random half-naked fantasy mercenary). Unfortunately, my scanner is dead for now. The idea was based on the idea that if everyone's going to do crossbreeds anyway, why not use some interesting animals, and see what happens farther down the line? Species used were leopard, American jackrabbit, human, and greater kudu.

It's an older picture, and some of the proportions aren't right (too long in the arms and legs), but I like it anyway. Three teenage furries, posing for the camera - Elena Zriek, Naomi Olamu, and Aida Somethingsomething (darnit, forgot). A pallas's cat, cheetah, and dromedary camel respectively. Cute, aren't they?

I think Joan Dunning's book /From the Redwood Forest/ should be a required read for various politicians right now, since it explains the Headwaters mess a darn sight better than our slanted and slipshod media did. Illustrated is a western torrent salamander from the "Gods" chapter; hopefully, color to follow.

My response to all the empathic, bonded-with-humans, aliens in bad sci-fi books that SOMEHOW MIRACULOUSLY look exactly like dragons, horses, or cats. A migrant between the summer steppe and the winter taiga, the granther is a powerful empath; it can sense predators and projects powerful waves of fear to drive them away. However, like all real-world large herbivores, it's also skittish, capricious, and dumb as a brick. To be colored later.

Yerf is up! And I went through seven kinds of heck trying to make FTP work so I could post to it again! This lil' critter - Ignatius Pugnatius Francisco, or just Frisco for short - is something I dreamed up after my first aggravating days at college, when textbooks were never there, computers kept mucking up, ect. Typical infovore; and I think he's been nibbling at my drive again. Frisco is © me.

John_Grey, the original wereseal character I created years ago as a doodle and refined for MUCK use. He's a harbor seal, which explains the variety of spot colors; and he seems to be looking rather aback at something off-screen.
grey.gif - 1998-11-14
John Grey the wereseal, rudely awakened from a nap on a chunk of Monterey sandstone. Which looks remarkably like the rock in another of my pictures, but truth be told that's just because I'm lazy sometimes. I swear harbor seals sleep with their tails held in the air like this.
grey1.jpg - 1999-10-01
John Grey revised, and this time with his family in tow. Standing with him is his were-sealion father, Zachary Grey, and his mother, a roan I haven't found a first name for yet. And I swear I'm going to commit hari-kari before I twiddle with her eyes any further. Nnnh.

It's a group shot of several critters whose descriptions I turned in to Austin at Toons, Fur, and Fluff for the guests. Clockwise from the top, their species are ('cause I never got around to names): Epaulated Fruit Bat, Lantern Fish, Red River Hog, Coelurosauravus, and Macrauchenia. There were six originally, but I didn't have the space for the last one, an anthropomorphic ammonite (and needed a separate space to figure out how to draw it, anyway). All of these critters are © me, although up for unlimted use by TFF. Go check it out, you might end up as one of mine. ^^

There's no real excuse for this. It started as a doodle in my Biology notes as we studied flatworms, and now has been all gussied up for use as a Halloween card for my Biology professors. I present to you the planarian from hell - Dugesia infernalis, phylum PlatyHELLminthes. *badumpching*

Wolves are boring. So I thought I'd make them more interesting by combining them with an old monster of mine with a similar body shape, the helmeted hunter. Methinks it's an improvement, but I don't know what to call the result.
helmhunt.jpg - 2001-01-12
It's a were-hyena! Striped hyena, to be exact. I think were-beasts are interesting myself, but werewolves have been done to death; and with those gorgeous stripes and moveable mane down the back, Hyaena hyaena is just more aesthetically pleasing than any mere canine (hyenas are most closely related to the viverrids - weasels, civets, badgers). ^^

Just realized I'd never posted this. Another of my crossbred creations, the result of too much outbreeding (which you should really see more of, considering the amount supposedly going on in furry. . .). Olive baboon/chipmunk/bat cross - probably Australian Ghost, was looking at that picture at the time - drinking bad coffee. Probably means Starbucks coffee, considering the two are synonymous. I may take that nose leaf thing off. And I *definitely* need to work on perspective with that cup, and better shoulders. Aie.

I was *extremely* bored in my Government class last year. That's all I can say about why there happens to be a Ceratosaurus nasicornis chasing little deer-colored unicorns that are bounding away like gazelles (or, supposed to, rather - blah). Still, it gave me great ideas for the Idylwild area on Spin Dizzy, and thus the name. . .

For Cleckmoon. A lone _Iguanodon lakotaensis_ browsing on a hill on the old American east coast looks back as it startles a small hypsilophodont from the bushes (possibly _Zephyrosaurus_); a pair of _Ornithocheirus_, male and female, glide by in the distance. I'm getting better at backgrounds, but now I need to learn how to shade them.

Is'khathi walks into a forest with a friend, Aletta, perched on his shoulder (for an idea of his scale, she's around five feet tall). I drew this months ago and already it has plenty of problems to make me itch, but. . . still. . . I'm proud of it. I need to color the darn thing but haven't had time to crack out the pencils. Aletta's character by Alethea Marti.

A preliminary drawing of Is'khathi, eight-foot tall cockatrice and outcast, served up on one of my usual chunks of background lite. Give me a break - since I wrote Is'khathi's description before drawing him, just getting him drawn and colored appropriately in the first place was a pain. Oh, well. Knowing me and my wierd little form of artistic masochism, I'll probably do something more complex with him later anyway.

Itchy itchy little undead puppy. For all of you Fluffy fans out there. All one of you. You know who you are.

Neither Cindy Cabrera nor I are very impressed with the generic ideal of unicorns as being fluffy white mongrelized things that are all sweetness and light. Unicorns like her character Jednorozec, an ill-tempered little unicorn somewhere between a donkey and a Przewalski's horse, are so much more fun. Watch your step and don't piss off the unicorn, please.

Fantasia 2000 at midnight on the biggest dome I've ever seen, friends with strange imaginations, and conversation about Africa's Lake Tanganyika produced this. . . this thing. I like the detail and softness of this scan type, but need to figure out how to hide the white-out better.

Amazingly, it's a pic that has *nothing* to do with Trixi! Cute and cuddly, yes; but this one was doodled before the cutewars began. It's my Tyrannosaurus bataar character (Jiao-Long) as a pony-sized juvenile, looking mind-bendingly adorable on the grassy savannah that inner Mongolia was before it was desert. She's © me, although I'm not sure I want to admit to having drawn that background. . .

The Arabian unicorn is called the karkadann - a fierce fighter with a bellow that frightened the birds and a wrathful temper that kept almost all animals well away. Descriptions and images of the animal range from wolf-like to cow-like, so this is my take on the beast.
