(Krystal was initially on my list of references too, but I dropped her after being unable to identify any signature details to incorporate into the design.)

If all nine tails are seen then the situation must truly be life or death -- and the kitsune may even be already plotting a curse to use as its last resort.

Streaming down its back are eight distinct "tassels" of fur that provide defense against predators, but which can also be fanned out as a display or warning. Combined with the fox's abilities, it can project an appearance of nine full tails, but only one tail is actually the real thing.
8x5", inverse colored pencil.
The smaller image at bottom was inspired by this asset I found while searching for reference material early on. (I even used it as a placeholder in composition until my version was drawn.)]]>Lucent Moonfox by Stratadrakeurn:uuid:8a74c37c-436b-c96b-aa7a-60aeae1c36692022-10-21T18:05:27-07:00He's done! And right on time, too.
A Lucent Moonfox has modest abilities, such as conjuring foxfire or creating illusions. The latter includes being able to change what appearance he projects -- technically this means he can appear perfectly human, but he generally refuses to let his true nature be hidden under disguise.
The armor pads are a clue to which art prompt inspired this idea. It is actually like the 4th or 5th attempt at placing some kind of clothing/dress on him (most of which I couldn't make work with this composition).

Hope that you never have to see more than one tail. If all nine come out, it is already too late.

This fox has abilities such as illusions (this is technically not his true form) and foxfire, which also grow stronger under moonlight.

My first Pokémon character—DZeron was blue team but she liked trying on different outfits. Doing so she accidentally bought this
I loved it even though it was for the wrong team so she wore it often
I cosplayed her for nakakon 2020 but the covid happened the night we were setting up for the kon so i never wore it

I have used this creature design in a few of my stories (one of my main characters is one, in fact). An "alce" or "spined gryphon", the signature flares on the shoulders of this wingless, four-legged avian could be either decorative feathers or hardened spines depending on which story it is.
(No my art is not dead, it was exactly where I left it! ...but I did need to get a new scanner, and one does not "simply" shake off several years' worth of rust.)

I don't know how to resize things properly on this system so I'm trying. I'm just trying to get old computer working with new scanned so I can start sharing art again in the new year.
this is a hasty pencil drawing done at church to entertain my Daughter Len and it is page one and two of a sort of cartoon version of a generator rex OC story we like to role-play. Reva Is Rex's twin sister and Alaster is Circes [slightly older I think?] brother. his evo power is to make everyone around him really angry...he has no control over it...so he's a very lonely guy. Reva and Rex are immune to his power. Reva is lonely because she hasn't made any friends yet other than Dr Holiday, and Dr Holiday is working and Rex is away on a mission with Bobo and Noah.
I'm probably spelling his name wrong.]]>cloud tree by Jadisurn:uuid:2af0581b-178e-adba-d340-37a589f3682a2017-07-05T19:50:36-07:00resized...hopefully...
cheep old watercolor on cheep new foam board from Dollar general abt 2 ft by 3 foot [guestimate]
Lin made the title.
I'm grieving so I wanted to do some sort of abstract painting to settle my head a bit. I like this one. it's a way of using up old paint and I think It's so cool I can get these large foam boards for just one dollar. I liked how they worked for watercolor, they do warp a bit, I have the weighted down now to flatten. We'll see how that goes. ]]>Reva and Alaster digital color by Jadisurn:uuid:76beef9f-0106-552c-e9d2-e864bf9218f02017-06-30T04:37:47-07:00Reva Salazar an oc of my daughter lin who I've been playing around with...twin sister of rex from generator Rex. has similar powers but slightly different builds
Alaster, OC of mine from the same role-play as Reva. older brother of Rex's girlfriend Circe, his ever power is to make everyone around him be angry and argue with one another. thus people don't want him around, so he's very lonely.
Reva is also lonely because she lives at providence and being less rebellious than Rex, has not got any friends her own age yet. she meets him when he is sort of hiding from people and finds she is amused to his power so they become friends and she helps him learn to control his power. He used to live at Abysus but he ran away because he didn't like being surrounded with anger, so he decided to just stay away from everyone. so he's homeless,

I've been through some really tough times, was homeless for a time and had not internet for a time because my husband suddenly decided to divorce me in a hostile manor after nearly 20 years of eternal marriage....
but I'm back doing fan art for Linn and while she's at his house for a week we decided I would post things here so she can see them
her OC Reva Salazar is the twin sister of Generator Rex. her flight build is wings rather than a jetpack type thing
and I love drawing wings.
more details will be added latter as I am being rushed out the door by my grandson to go swimming now.

I like this one conceptually but had some trouble with media.
we were experimenting with crayons, pastels, watercolor and a few other things on large watercolor paper.
because I think the concept turned out interesting I might do something else based on this in the future, but there are some things about the composition I don't entirely love.
edit: I'm writing this down so I don't forget.
I want to do an image based on this which has a broken window with a spiderweb pattern in the foreground, drawn in colorful macro detail [perhaps with a brown recluse or a jumping spider on the inside] a tree bring with a yellow Argiope orb web on a tree branch right outside the window, perhaps one thread attached to the window, an abstract tree in the distance with roots and branches which echo the pattern of the spiderweb and broken glass, and a large whispy spiderweb pattern of light in the clouds, with an angle who has dragon-wing structure wings also echoing the pattern of glass tree and web.
maybe in a thousand years I'll have time for that, right?
so I'm gonna start making reference photos of broken glass. i might even break some glass. that sounds fun. ]]>Zoe from Dinosaur king line art by Jadisurn:uuid:84cb5be6-7dbb-411f-c130-03719417e24f2016-06-12T12:51:59-07:00I might not have categorized this right I don't know where this cartoon comes from but it's called Dinosaur king and it's aimed at a very young audience so it's very unrealistic
however, I like this character, and we were watching this last week so I made a drawing of her to color but I never got time to finish the coloring. maybe some day, but in cace there are any dinosaur king fans here, here's the line art.
if you wanna color her yourself feel free.

the colors were chosen randomly and then Rodrick and Lin came along and asked me to change some colors also.
I might do a better coloring [including some redraw on perspective defects and depth issues such as the curl of the dragons tail being too flat] later
I like this image it looks to me like a story book illustration and makes me want to write and draw the rest of the story book, although I don't really have any Ideas for it yet.
this dragon didn't fit the categories well, but it's marginally Anthropomorphic because it's using a computer.]]>Kpeppers coloring contest entry by Jadisurn:uuid:18042f4c-aa6c-395c-ee88-c4f3047696462016-06-03T17:59:53-07:00EDIT: this contest has been extended till the 17th, so there's still time to enter. please do I'd love to see lots of other versions of this
this is my final version not because it done...I see lots of things I could improve if I had time...but I need to be done with it and work on other things so I'm leaving it at this.
thanks for the contest K'pepper, it was an interesting challenged and I learned a few things, It's always good to try things I wouldn't try on my own,. that's what I love about contests and request.
looking forward to see what others do with it, if you haven't done it yet please do...if not for the reward, just for the challenge and learning and community involvement.

this is my last post for now and the most finished and colorful Item, thus the one I place on the top of the stack because it will show on the front page.
it represents the weather we have been having here in Kansas the past few weeks, rain and spring sunshine.
[edit:alternative title="shadow of the wind mage" I didn't notice the wolf face outline until after I posted this and saw the thumbnail. ] [wind mage explained here
I"ve been invited to Join an oil painting studio in manhattan Kansas, Run by a native american friend. he's inviting everyone, of any 2-d media because he's just starting up the group and desperate for new members, SO this will give me a chance to learn about oil painting, which I have never done. AND some real live art friends, so I won't have to depend so much on online art friends. However my first meeting with them was canceled by the weather. we were having tornadoes here last night.
finally got around to experimenting with these pastels I have. Interesting media, still not sure what to make of it, thinking or getting something like china markers to go with it. working on larger paper and less detailed subjects would be good, these things are fat and soft and don't do tiny details.
I still want to try them combined with watercolor and color pencils [they came together in a kit with those 3 plus markers]
also this page has a few marker marks on it where the markers Rodrick used on the one we did together with markers and Pastels bled through in the sketchbook.]]>Mage: OC collaboration with a 4 year old Boy by Jadisurn:uuid:64df55be-eee3-9a0f-cc79-40ef283087fc2016-05-27T14:04:41-07:00MY 4 year old grandson described this character and I drew him according to Rodricks description and wrote down his story. I made suggestions and he used some of them but not most of them.
the explanation is written by the picture, basically
he has green hair
his sword without a handle is also a key-blade like in kingdom hearts
his arm was bitten off by wolves who ate his parents, Dwarves made him a new arm.
a dragon saved him from the wolves and raised him with the help of the dwarves.
the wolves are powerful wind mages who can blow down mountains and they are all evil.
the dragon burned the wolves with his fire.
A giant octopus once came with his lake in his belly and spit out his lake in the dwarves place, and Mage defeated him to save the dwarves, and took his powers, so Mage has a lake in his belly [full of baby giant octopi] which he can spit out at will, IE if he needs to drown someone in a battle or just wants to see the baby octopi, or go swimming, or fish for food when he's traveling.
I like collaborative creating with little kids, because they ere so willing to let things not make sense, and things that don't make sense are so much more fun.
I mean, nobody in my story carries a lake full of baby octopi in their belly. ]]>Jason sketch by Jadisurn:uuid:260f39ee-fe98-b293-1673-dee0429f64c12016-05-27T13:38:09-07:00I know this is barely a sketch. I'm posting because I hope doing so will somehow encourage me to pursue the project.
The pose, perspective and anatomy are incorrect in several ways.
I want to learn to draw character sketches which are anatomically accurate. I KNOW I should learn by practicing drawing live people and reference photos but I haven't been able to get myself to focus on actually doing that.
I also want to learn to draw simplified character illustrations. again, I need to practice, and create a simplified style I am comfortable with.
This is Jason Scot-Harris the protagonist of my 2007 Nano Novel. I've recently decided to make a collection of art related to this story in the order it would appear in the story. a sort of randomly illustrated version of the story.
so he's sitting on the roof of his tower [build a hundred or so years in his past by his hero Jordan Kerrigan-Smith, which is several hundred years in our future] which is an addition to Waters Hall, an actual old stone building on the KSU campus in Manhattan Ks which actually currently houses the anthropology department, Entemonlogy and Economics.In Jason's time it is Anthropology, alien studies and Dream Science. He Specializes in Retro-technology and Dream science.
the Guitar was given to his father Desmond by Desmond's Adopted stepfather. it's made of a giant turtle shell and has magical properties, and was actually made for Jason before he was born. He takes it with him pretty much everywhere he goes and uses it to calm himself. ]]>Pastel and marker experiment collaboration with Rodrick by Jadisurn:uuid:19cbfde2-2130-c2b6-a740-40cd806ea6c12016-05-27T04:25:13-07:00my grandson Roderick and I trying out colors of pastels and markers, and how they work in combination with each other.]]>pastel texture exparement 1 by Jadisurn:uuid:08123c6a-2686-7ef6-6d48-630e0c0e53072016-05-27T04:16:14-07:00I have some pastels which came with a little coloring kit my husband got me, so I finally got to trying them.
in this experiment, I made a dent in the paper with a mechanical pencil with no lead out, and then colored over the dent lightly with pastels to see that it would, indeed, leave white where the dent was. I've got lots of Ideas of things I might use this for in the future.

I'm gradually working on a self portrait. this is a sketch from an iPad selfie, just trying to figure perspective and pose.... I like the way this looks. it's not the finished thing, just a quick sketch.
the finished thing will be part traditional part digital and insanely detailed, and will take a long time to make. might never finish.

still contemplating putting him together with Van Kleiss.
black hair with lighter section at the front, long purplish robe thing [vk it's really a trench coat] gold something around the neck...evil but mostly because everyone was always so disrespectful, and they just want to rule the world to gain the respect they deserve.

Cedric sort of reminds me of my fav cartoon villain Van Kleiss from Generatior Rex.
Edit: I swopped out the bad iPad photo for a real scan, the more I look at this and remember all the fan art I did of Van Kleiss, the more I think these two characters are similar, both visually and in intent. I would like to do a fan fiction with the two of them but realistically I probably will never have time for that. ]]>Samus with suit by Jadisurn:uuid:2dfa4cbd-52e4-6e69-9c8b-39ef8aef9cfa2016-05-20T05:14:40-07:00is there not a category for Super Smash brothers?

This is for my scavenger hunt forum game. I killed it by asking for a roll top desk, as reclining chair and a laptop computer.
HOWEVER...it's my understanding we are not supposed to put two comments in a row from the same poster on the forums, so somebody do me the favor of answering my request with this on the scavenger hunt okay?
so to make this possible, I have drawn one of each. and then because the composition of the sketch with just that was not good so I added a few other things just to make it feel complete. I'm actually rather pleased with it.
the perspective is a bit inconsistent in places ]]>first attempt--[ coloring contest.] by Jadisurn:uuid:07b0a318-5318-f757-4214-2632849297982016-05-17T04:48:32-07:00K_Pepper is holding this coloring contest.
so I'm trying to color this things which is way beyond what I would normally color, so this is my first attempt to color it.
this is not a contest entry, just me trying to figure out how to approach this. but I thought I'd offer it up anyhow, to maybe inspire others to attempt the contest.
because I like to see what y'all make of it.
this version, I think, looks sort of creepy which was not what I was going for but still educational.
SO I colored this with pens sharpies pencils and whatever came to hand, then took a dark iPad photo and edited it a bit on Fire alpaca. I certainly hope I can make a better version before the deadline. but some bit's look cool. I like the canyon.
I might make this look a lot better just by making a good scan of it. ]]>Arthur hates waiting by Jadisurn:uuid:ff6470bf-5fdd-9f4d-5a34-0cdd07583a022016-05-14T06:00:51-07:00quick sketch for Rainbowdash rocks]]>Spirit of the law by Jadisurn:uuid:3d84c7c9-a228-1054-b4be-e02a828d5b6c2016-05-10T07:49:59-07:00not sure what the scanner did to this. we'll see.

and journals here don't allow commenting
so I post art for whining.
this is a work of art from my early teen years which used to be posted on the back of my bedroom door, a favorite work of the time. ...sheesh.. that sounds so long, makes me feel ancient.....
anyhhow this work might be technically against the rules here, as it is clearly drawn on lined paper. it is in fact a celebration of the fact that it is drawn on lined paper. I love lined paper,
SOOOOO
today I found a really cute reference page I made for my Vocaloid OC Ren Kangamine which I role-play with my daughter Lin which is the male counterpart of her OC Lin Kagamine [the one her name here is based on]. I want to submit this art because I like it very much but it's on lined paper and I don't like breaking the rules, but to try to remove the lines would ruin it, and i don't have time anyhow. [it contains several cute sketches of Ren --who is a little kid who likes reading and hates shoes-- and also handwritten text describing the character.]
I understand the reasoning, but in fact I post many things which are less well done more scabbily and sketchy and scrappish than this, which just didn't happen to get drawn on lined paper. they might have been on, say the back of recycled printer paper or something...that's allowed...
ok. I've whined, I'm content. maybe I'll re-draw poor little Ren onto better paper one of these years.
WAIT A MINUTE
I just re-read the policy on lined paper. It specifies PENCIL ART so the above art is not covered in that. it's ink.
Ren's character sheet however is in pencil I think.
but if I inked him, he would be legal right? lol... too bad I like him better in pencil.
HOWEVER...in the future I will remember to get out a ball point to do my sketchy drawings when i'm on lined paper.
OOOOOO HEY if I scan him and print him and then rescan him, he won't be pencil anymore, he'll be ink then....all without losing the charm of a pencil sketch on lined paper......Hmmmmmmmmm............
[yeah I know this rule isn't enforced anyhow and if I posted him no body would object, it's just the idea of having to break the rule bothers me.]
EDIT: this went to the review cue because it's too big an image, I'm resizing it but don't want it up today bad enough to repost.RESIZED on fire alpaca]]>Kagamine Ren [Jadis version] by Jadisurn:uuid:af03bf76-7d2d-4f37-bc11-c072d8711d2d2016-05-07T04:24:02-07:00in my daughter [Lin Kagamine]'s imaginary vocaloid word there are 3 sets of Kagamine twins, one older than in and len, and one younger. this is the boy one of the younger twins, who are supposed to be about 6 years old.
Ren belongs to Lin, only this is my twisted version not hers. she wants me to play this character for her all the time, and I do, so I developed my own Ideas of what he's like which she doesn't agree with.
This says: Ren Kagamine likes to read, doesn't like to make videos, dislikes fan girls,DOesn't want popularity, is stubborn and opinionated. He's a loner.
other information not listed: he likes Rin better than Len and insists of wearing clips like she does to keep his hair off his face, refuses to wear a ponytail like Len. He doesn't like wearing his head phones [not wearing head phones is tabu for vocaloids, they always wear them unless they are sleeping]
He got the personality he has because when the creator cloned Len and Rin's Data Rin was sleepy and in a bad mood and didn't want to do it. lIn on the other hand came out hyper and reckless because Len was so enthused about the Idea of getting new little siblings.
edit: I forgot to mention, this was drawn on lined paper with pencil, which is not allowed to post here, and I like the lined paper and pencil version much better than this version, personally. and I colored this very lazy. I dunno why I bothered....but i did so I posted it anyhow.]]>raven storm Jereth digital recolor by Jadisurn:uuid:4268520d-b07f-936f-9f04-bc1babe85a712016-05-03T05:09:06-07:00recolored on fire alpaca with touch pad just for fun.
because I thought the background would look better darker, but the paper I drew it on wouldn't stand up to darker physical coloring. ]]>Sammy and Matthias wip color by Jadisurn:uuid:fe210847-1e1d-4854-953e-5115c96ed41e2016-05-03T03:57:41-07:00this is one of those pictures which has lots of defects but I love it anyhow.
I was looking for this [the not color version] but I didn't find it on FAC and thought I might not have posted here because it's not fan art it's an illustration from my NaNo novel. so I found it on DA and realized it's originally drawn on lined paper, so it was not legal to be posted here.
the DA version was a wip digital version where I had painted over part of the lined paper version, but got frustrated and quite...I don't do well at coloring with a touchpad on my laptop.
I was in the mood to color something so I did a very rough coloring of it, I figure a rough coloring suits the sketchy style of the whole project. I do still want to clean it up a bit add some shading and tree details and such though.
eventually.
these guys are half brothers, but Sammy's father [Matthias's stepfather who Matthias was very attached to]was killed before Sammy was born, so Matthias has pretty much been like a father to him all his life. ]]>Storm Raven Jereth hexatransformation with background by Jadisurn:uuid:973fb3e1-b1d1-33c1-8ce6-9d9952344bdc2016-05-03T01:23:18-07:00I added background to this http://www.fanart-central.net/pictures/user/Jadis/849698/storm-raven-Jereth-hexatransformation
because my daughter [not Lin, Rodrick's mom] who requested the combination thought it should have night sky and lightning in the background.
and I didn't have a pencil sharpener so I had to sharpen the black color pencil with a kitchen knife.
edit: later digitally recolored version here http://www.fanart-central.net/pictures/user/Jadis/849714/raven-storm-Jereth-digital-recolor]]>storm raven Jereth hexatransformation by Jadisurn:uuid:31e2c6e5-f513-cb9f-a754-74fa2fcf7c5f2016-05-02T02:16:44-07:00ok so me and my kids were looking at these hexatransformation things rainbow dash rock was doing, and got talking about who they would like to see combined, so I did this one for my older daughter[my grandson's mother, not Lin...lin is drawing her own.]
it is Raven from teen titans, Jareth the goblin king from labyrinth, and storm from x-men
she wanted me to add in the background night sky and lightning but I haven't been than ambitious yet.
I didn't bother to do a good job of the beginning parts, I only did the final form but I'm posting the rough sketches that lead up to it so you see it was one of those hexitransformation thingies.
Roderick wanted me to do ord from dragon tails, drago from bakugan and Natusu from fairy tail.
that'll be one firey dragon character...., it will take me awhile though. ]]>
