| A picture request from Julie (the fox). Looking ahead to the not-too-distant
future, we see her and her friend Erica (the skunk) in their careers as Hooters girls. :)
|
| I like tigermice. There's something intrinsically entertaining about
the idea of a cute, tiny little creature that's so ferocious. :D I think I'd draw more
of them, if those stripes weren't such a pain to color.
Oh, and this is the inked and colored version of
this pencil drawing. :)
|
| Just a random gift image from the muse. Yo! Skunkie homegirl! :)
|
| A generic cute and cuddly plump cat girl. Mmmm... doesn't she look
all snuggly? :)
|
| A fierce skunkette, apparently from some sort of primitive furry tribe. :)
|
| A jackal gal. I think she's dancing... or just skipping about
in high spirits. Or maybe she spotted the Duff Blimp. :D
|
| Harem raccoon. I think this turned out quite well. :)
|
| A daring, old fashioned, mid-air rescue. :)
Free cupcake if you can identify the inspiration for her hat. :D
|
| I have this vague idea for a character in my head, and I was trying to
work out the details of what she should look like.... This isn't it. :/ I'll
try again later.
|
| I've been suffering from a case of "artist's" block for the past few
weeks. In an attempt to get unstuck, I reverted to an old trick of drawing random
heads/faces. Well... I suppose they look a little better now than they did several years
ago, when I used to do this all the time, but it didn't really help stir the muse.
Oh, I suppose the block will clear up eventually. It always has before.
|
| You know, this really is not intended to be as preachy as it might look.
I just find inpiration (if I'm lucky) even in the less glamorous of life's intense events.
I'm not trying to wag a finger here, even though wild parties aren't my idea,
of fun. I just find this little drama to be somewhat sublime, in the 'Joseph Campbell' sense
of the word.
Oh, and it's the inked and colored version of
this picture. :)
|
| Still working out what I want my new 'farm mouse' character to look like.
I think this is about right for the head. :)
|
| Getting closer, but still not quite what I'm looking for...
|
| Ok, this is about how I imagined her. You can probably get the gist
of the character from the name and this pose. She's just a wild mouse who lives on a farm, eeking
out a precarious living. The idea is that the farm is run by larger, more 'civilized' furs,
(cats, I suppose), who will kill her if they can.
|
| Here's the inked and colored version of
this picture.
Get it? Beachball? See, she's so round in several areas? Aw, never mind. :)
|
|
| Yep. That's right. Still suffering from artist's block.
I think I felt the muse stir a couple of times this week, though, particularly at some
picture requests I received. I'll give them a try this week, and see if they can't
stir my muse from her slumber.
Of course, I think it'll also help that the days are getting longer and the weather warmer,
that I completed a stressful project at work, and that some minor surgery I need to have
will be over and done with, but I'd never downplay the role that picture requests play
in helping new pictures pop into my head. :)
|
| One of the drawing suggestions which helped break me loose from my
"artist's" block (thanks Megan!). Let's hope it stays gone for a while. :)
A vixen emerges from the shower, with her hair artfully protecting her modesty...
which is why she doesn't have to go in the 'adult' section. ;)

| A portrait request for a character named Velvet Pure.
I don't normally try to shade or 'color' my pencil drawings, but this character
is a black mouse with white stripes. Depicting these markings using only
my mechanical pencil leaves something to be desired, but I can't think of any other way to
show them. I think I can make them look better with proper colored pencils... at least,
I hope so.
