Denali, getting a jump on Saint Patrick's Day... Erin Go Bragh!
Yahoo! New scanner! No more transfering from Mac at work to PC at home!! OK, I've recovered now...I thought I'd try my hand at a winged snow leopard..he looks deep in thought. Inked, with coloured pencil. This original is up for auction at FurBid.
A pair of snowy owls on a peahen tailfeather...painted while I sat my booth at a Western and Wildlife Art Show last weekend.
FROOOOG! Until this Summer, I thought nothing looked more ridiculous than a cat on a screen door. Then I saw......that! :oP
Commission, barn swallows at their home in an evergreen. Peahen tailfeather.
A random pencil sketch... could probably work a story around it.
Long-awaited commission, acrylics on watercolour paper. It's Tanya, as a snow leopard! I wish the scanner would show the full detail of the piece, I put a lot into this one. Character is © Tanya.
An idea for a tarot deck I've had in my head for a very long time. The intent was to be anthro, with a fairy tale/storybook feel to it. "The Hanged Fox", major arcana, card 12. Acrylics on Bristol. Lousy scan.
And the race is on. Drawing in progress... still needs a *lot* of work.
*Trying* to put more realism into my wolves. Acrylic on peacock feather.
"To Greener Pastures" is the title of this piece. Bull elk in snowy mountain pass. Acrylics on wing feather.
YAY! I finally finished another one of those "Oh-Lord-Am-I-Ever-Going-To-Get-This-Finished" stipple projects! Done on Bristol with a .005 Micron, the totem is my own original composition, after lengthy study of traditional Haida design. The flying eagle is in line-work, to contrast with the totem stippling.
Play ball! Inked coloured pencil sketch of Twilight, one of my characters, rooting on the home team. Original at FurBid, http://furrybid.transform.to/cgi-bin/auction.pl?furry&1022962192
"Up A Tree". Raccoon mama and her kits. Acrylics on peahen feather.
At last... a long-awaited Vicki Fox commission for the very patient Michael Russell. Detail was considerably compromised in this low-res scan. All characters are © to Mr. Russell, of course. Thanks, Mike... this was loads of fun to paint!
Microns on 11 X 14 Bristol paper. Thick lines, thin lines, stylizations, and very little perspective. Trying to mimic the appearance so common in Doodle Art posters. This water dragon is #2 in a series of four dragon colouring posters.
I know, it's a big 'un. Didn't want to scale it down any further, as you might not be able to see much of the detail then. 3 feathers, painted as a wedding gift. Although this "frame job" was done in Photoshop, it is essentially how I'll matting it in suede, in a shadow box. ©to me, of course, and the coastal critters © to the Pacific Northwest! ;o)
I couldn't resist! So many artists portraying mystical weres adorned with feathers, I HAD to turn things around. So here's a feather wearing a were! He's dressed in typical late-19th-century Nez Perce attire, complete with pipe. If you like him, you can bid on him at http://www.furbid.ws/cgi-bin/auction.pl?furry&1022456502
A commissioned feather of a white tiger. My scanner reeeally didn't like this one.
A pair of wolves enjoy a brief reprieve from winter's harsh cold, within the sanctity of their den.
It's been a long time since I've posted any painted peacock feathers! Seeing Brian's recent *gorgeous* fox paintings prompted me to trot this one out...a white wolf, with ice-blue eyes. Acrylic painting on actual wing feather~~an art form I've been doing for about 12 years now.
Less realistic, just fun. Three wolves out for a tussle while a gray squirrel looks on from the safety of his perch. This one's available at Lucas Gallery's new holiday location in Puyallup, WA.
I used a different technique with this one, in that I blocked in all the colors of the ducks first, then went back and detailed each portion. The colors came out more crisp as a result. One of many painted feathers bound for the Ellensburg art show this weekend.
Pencil illustration. My part for an upcoming zine, "The Tapestry". Characters © Tanamin.
