Decided to break out the good old markers and dot away.
The paper is a little smaller than 8 1/2x11 and the markers are your standard small tip crayolas. There are absolutely NO lines here. It's pointillism and those are all dots. Pointillism is my favorite technique. (Even more than crosshatching!) I won first place at my county fair for a pointillism landscape I did in 4th grade and I've adored the process ever since. It's super relaxing and rewarding for me, I just never do it because it takes so much TIME.
But this is what spring break is for, am I right?]]>Wacom Competition by OCurn:uuid:9b894b1a-eb76-928b-cd6b-d63cf7187aa92012-03-05T17:37:29-08:0090 minutes speedpainting in JCC jakarta yesterday

YES, YES I JUMPED ON THE BANDWAGON. :P
The show that's been sweeping the nation got to my friends in good 'ol Starkville, Mississippi, and they insisted that I take a look at the first two episodes at least. ...I've watched all the episodes to current date now. 8D
So I had to make an obligatory original character pony. I spent all afternoon studying screenshots from the animations as well as two amazing fan tutorials here on DA:
This is what I consider my first real animation, hand-drawn frame by frame and put together in flash. I don't think it's very good. And my microphone wouldn't cooperate, so sorry about the static fizz. XD
I worked my butt off this semester, so I didn't want to do anything that required a lot of thinking over Christmas break. I thought, "Oh yay! How about a simple animation? I've always wanted to see Wing talk... This shouldn't take long!"
...It took 4 days of off and on work. This animation has 24 frames per second, about 50 non-repeating frames total... Not including the frames I threw away because they didn't flow.
*Pulls out hair* I need to find less productive hobbies. |D
Scavenge and Wing fight a rather colorful three-headed dragon. This is a collaboration I started with Scavenge in 2010. I did the lineart, and she colored it:
I started on this over the summer and worked on it pretty much anytime I didn't want to look at programming anymore. (Like when I finished this and realized it was 5 in the morning... Yay!)
This is my latest picture in studying western animation. I looked at many, MANY screenshots to keep up inspiration and keep in mind what I wanted at the end. And yes, there was an equal amount of singing along to whatever I was practicing with at the moment. =)
The slides I viewed the most were from Walt Disney(Sleeping Beauty, Hercules, Mulan, Beauty and the Beast, The Hunchback of Notre Dame), Don Bluth(The Secret of NIMH, All Dogs Go To Heaven, Thumbelina), and Richard Rich(The Swan Princess). I hope this image pays a fair tribute to their styles!
I want to thank everyone who's been following me draw this too. It was fun to hear what others thought as I worked.]]>Alice by thelumpurn:uuid:f1565ac1-fb65-c16e-01cc-8e9928df6b0e2011-09-26T21:02:57-07:00Alice in Wonderland...

Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said the Cat.
"I don’t much care where--" said Alice.
"Then it doesn’t matter which way you go," said the Cat.
"--so long as I get SOMEWHERE," Alice added as an explanation.
"Oh, you’re sure to do that," said the Cat, "if you only walk long enough."

I wish you could see the metallic watercolors I used here. The original is much much nicer than the scan.

I always thought they were portrayed as really ditzy dumb girls. Just because they weren't the main heroine of the story doesn't mean they have to be so unattractive, right? I mean, they are still mermaid princesses, dang it. they deserve to be just as gorgeous and charismatic as Ariel.
Yes.
Art wise...I really really am NOT good at backgrounds or foregrounds or really anything that isn't a mermaid in this picture. Lol. And I have no idea if there are actual fish that look like that, or seaweed (wait, coral?) that looks like that. But hey!

A surprise giftie for my friends Pye, Almiras, and Scavenge! Our characters are enjoying a day at a port city. Pye's gonna melt a hole in the asphalt lol.
I just needed something silly to do before school started, and drawing new characters seemed like it would be a good stress reliever--It was! (Despite the fact that this took three times as long to finish than I intended because my muse insisted that a proper background was needed.)
Yall's characters are too cute! Enjoy the giftart guysss <3
Art trade with Samantha/Almiras on Deviantart! Actually, this is a gift disguised as an art trade. Almiras has been one of my biggest inspirations since I started digitally drawing, so I intended to make the biggest tribute I could possibly think of for her. It's supposed to look like it might have come out of an animated movie. >w<
An art trade with torchgirl18 on Deviantart.com. She's got such a lovely character! ...and if you ask me, the otter girl's pretty dang brave. I finished drawing, looked at the finished piece, and thought, "I would never get that close to starfish that big." @w@
I wanted to go for something you might see in a 2D animated movie, so originally this was going to be a single-layer shade, but I sort of got carried away when torchgirl told me that she liked gradient shading. I do hope the idea's been kept with the background though. =)
I tried a lot of new things, including not only using black for the outline colors. Making all the colors less saturated than my past art was the hardest part. AND I AM SO PROUD OF THE WATER. <3
These are just doodles, but they're special to me. They're the first of drawings of people I'm not embarrassed to show. =)
So here's something different! To more people! More realistic backgrounds! More of gesture drawings, sketches, and fun to loosen up my style and make my characters look more like characters instead of statues. :P
In order from top to bottom,
1. Yours truly. =)
2. Luther/Lyrit the narrator. I had "The Ballad of Mona Lisa" by Panic at the Disco playing at the moment. :P
3. Nyxis! ...and what drawing talking animals forever does to one's hand anatomy. |D
4. Wing's arch enemy Blood, in his kitsune form and with his dashing human self. :P]]>Two Sides by Defianceurn:uuid:62a069fe-6040-372a-832d-e21a8b8ff8a02011-07-09T07:50:11-07:00Wing and I!

---
Gesture drawing and color practice. It's not perfect. Why did I put it up again? :P
These are Blood and Wing as humans. In the story, they're both the last surviving members of rival clans, and honor-bound to slay each other for their lost families. He's the only warrior who can one-handedly take Wing down.
Of course, it's sort of not fair because she only has one kitsune tail and he has eight. :P]]>Commission for CJ by Defianceurn:uuid:119e8308-0ce9-93f9-22b5-de6a2d808e6b2011-07-04T08:32:58-07:00Really, REALLY big commission for C.J., project and art-wise! Visit my DA for a larger image: http://lyritwolf.deviantart.com/#/d3ky7zr

C.J. is a huge video game fan, and as a tribute he wanted me to make an anthropomorphic dragon with Samus's gun and Link's master sword. Much of the dragon's design was up to me. This piece took a while because C.J. plans to turn the dragon into a tattoo for his back, so I wanted to make sure to get the anatomy right as much as possible!
I tossed in a bonus background as well, since commissions don't usually take me over a couple months. ^^'
I originally contemplated putting Wolf Link and Ridley duking it out in the background. Would have been a great idea, but too much clutter. XD
Here you go C.J. I hope everything's to your liking!
After finishing the model in Blender, I rendered the frame, and added the name and designs in SAI and Jasc Paint Shop Pro 8. I was playing around with hinting at a background. ...I feel like I need to take art classes in Grad School, because layouts and detailed backgrounds are more difficult for me to put together than they should be. 00;
I haven't seen the Titanic yet, but that meme floating around the internet where everyone poses silly inspired Tazzle's pose. Forgive me for quoting something I haven't watched. Oh, and excuse the title pun too~
This is the Nyxis: it's pretty much a pimped Nerf N Strike Barricade Revolving 10 Dart Blaster!
This fully functional nerf gun is named and designed after my most hardcore kick-tail character, General Nyxis Pierce the bat. It took about a week to "mod" (though all I really did was deck it out. =D)
When I bought my first nerf gun just last Friday, I thought it would be a great idea to paint it PINK. Then Will, one of my friends at the Clemson University REU, said, "Hey! You should turn it into a gunblade!"
Furry Fury: Same Story is what I've decided to name Wing's oober long story--The thing on my Word Program is 500+ pages long, and needs editing rehauls like crazy. While we cry over how this isn't a real animation series, I guess I should mention now that Wing's got the story in webcomic version in the works. There are only twelve pages so far, but hey, it's a start, especially for those of you curious about what's happened to her! =)

About the Art: I had a dream about this amazing painterly style. I originally tried to draw Wing in the style too, but it ended up clashing with the lineart: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/5786031/
So I settled for an Anime Screenshot look, which is just as nifty! 8D I've always wanted to make one of these, and it worked beautifully with the idea.
Gift Art for Sinku. Apparently I'm slow at speed painting because this took about two and a half hours. XD
So this morning I got a text from my buddy Sinku:
"I just thought of a badass idea for a picture of Sinku [His fursona]. have Sinku in the middle with Amaru and Anubis fighting over his soul and have the shadow of the dragon looming over all three of them."
Sinku the character's got a really interesting past. In short, a dragon killed his family, then Anubis took over Sinku's body, then Sinku became a pirate but he's also of Scottish descent and then Sinku brought his sister Ohka back from the dead and she hates him for it. XD oh yeah, and Amaru the coyote is Sinku's stalker/girlfriend. You got all that?
Maybe he'll write it all down one day so it makes more sense to me. Really, don't ask me why Anubis is evil, or how a fluffy Valkyrie coyote girl can even last this long in a battle against an Egyptian God, or why he wants Sinku's soul in the first place. In this one, I'm just the artist! ^^'And the art idea was so random I had to do it. =D

Tazzle is extremely pleased to find another species with pouched males. I don’t think the seahorses are as enthusiastic though. 8D
Another fun drawing, this time for giggles. My parents took me to the Aquarium of the Americas in New Orleans all the time when I was a kid, and I always left with a brochure and pocketfuls of souvenirs. Tazzle's eyes took forever...Albino wide eyes are scary. @w@ ...Somehow, the glass fogger ended up looking more like a corgi than a thylacine.
Hurr, gift art for a couple of my friends. Done during a power outage right smack in the middle of Finals... YAAR Lorraine's traditional art. It exists. =D
We've been hanging out on Second Life, and that's where the joke for the dance poles come in: Just about every other building you walk into has dance poles. XP (I was iffy about uploading this just because of that though; it strays far from my usual subject of friendly-for-everyone art, in my opinion ^^')
Roxanne is hitting on Rip while Nashi enjoys the view, and Tazzle brought unicorn PJ's (and well, a unicorn) cuz' the wonderful friends didn't elaborate on what sort of party it was when they invited her. WE GONNA TURN THIS PLACE INTO A CAROUSEL. XD
But yeah. Oil Pastels, a lot of aggravation over getting ink and sharpie to color over oil pastels, and highlighters. Here you go, guys. =)
Ever since I was sick a few weeks ago, I've had study burnout something terrible, and I need to get my act together before my finals--Coming up the week after next. The most common advice I've been given is to just take a break--It's not working.
Good art seems to happen when I'm unhappy. Hmm, well, that explains why my characters aren't usually smiling (And all beaten up and covered in blood and fights and stuff. *Koff* 00)
So here's anthro tazzle in danger of potential mortal wound...age. I've been tossing backstories around in my head, one of them being that Tazzle's a lab experiment.
Scientists have successfully created thylacines (and other extinct creatures) by incorporating other animal DNA into the thylacine genome's missing gaps. Of course, by now they also have ridiculous amounts of technology in other areas, and though some of these engineered animals are sent to zoos, the others are kept for ..."medical purposes." Tazzle ends up being more sapient than her creators thought, and realizes that "medical purposes" means she's going to be used as a live organ donor again...and again...and again. She's got those starfish regenerative genes, and her body can temporarily compensate for missing organs until they grow back. And once she's too old to regenerate, they'll turn her into one of those all-the-rage furry purses that glow in the dark due to jellyfish DNA.
And thaaat's how she got into this dilemma. I'm pretty sure Tazzle decided as soon as she started running that it was do or die. If she makes it out, she's going to search for a soul.
She once overheard a scientist mention that animals don't have souls. Tazzle figures that if she can acquire a "soul," they won't experiment on her anymore. Because, you know, apparently there's some taboo against experimenting on anything with a soul.
The other idea for a backstory is that she was raised by kiwis birds growing up, but that wouldn't explain the syringes here. |D
This has been possibly the oddest list of songs I've listened to yet while drawing:
-"Sunday Bloody Sunday" by U2
-"The Jetset Life Is Gonna Kill You" by My Chemical Romance
-"Dani California" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers
-"Camisado" by Panic
-"Map of Tasmania" by Amanda Palmer
Gift art for bear_cub_comics on FurAffinity. I imagine since Rip's remaining character descent is of red kangaroo, he and Tazzle would get along very well...Or not. Tazzle is probably more interested in keeping one eye open for a man-egg. ("Because if it flies, there's a 90% chance it lays eggs, right?!" XD)
But they'd both agree that Australia's cool. WHICH IS WHY IT'S IN THE BACKGROUND. |D
Tazzle is the result of an urge to make a character tribute to my love of eggs, the color pink, sequins and glitter, and pockets/pouches. (I could have just slapped a pouch on Wing but yeah... she would have killed me. >> )
Whatever I was making had to have a pouch, so in my search for a fitting marsupial I stumbled upon the thylacine/Tasmanian tiger. More on the fascinating (and sadly, extinct) creature here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thylacine
And before I forget, a few notes on Tazzle:
- Her stomach is metaphorically a black hole. She can eat and eat and eat...
- Tazzle is anatomically incorrect, as thylacines of both genders have pouches that open to the rear.
- Tazzle is an egg thief simply because she LOVES eggs. "Love" is a dilemma here because after snatching them, she can't decide whether to eat them or hatch them. Every time you see her, she'll probably be carrying a different egg (and fussing over what to do with it.)
- Tazzle walks around half the time impersonating a male. Supposedly it's gotten her out of trouble a few times because no thylacine male would dare walk around with a man-egg in his pouch, stolen or not. XD
And there you have it! ...Now that I can sit back and look at this...Her color scheme inadvertently makes her look like a candy cane. Oops. XD
Princess Aurora is one of my favorite princesses. She is so sweet and classic. The whole style of her film is pretty.]]>Take Me by thelumpurn:uuid:f1e7ea82-031a-486e-5456-336945bf8cd82011-03-21T17:39:30-07:00I haven't sat down and completed something like this in a long time!! It feels like forever, really.
I was rifling through an old box in the garage and came across all my art-school drop out supplies. I felt guilty for shoving my tablet in there and brought it up, installed it on my mom's new computer and got to work.
I haven't done anything of consequence for so long I thought I'd ease my way back in with some safe fan art...
So, for all the disney fans, (and really, who isn't? Am I right?) here's Belle. And the words behind her are my favorite lines from the movie that she says. Actually, the whole scene in the dungeon is my favorite. To me, that's Belle at her finest, giving herself up to a monster for her dad. ANYhoo. Hopefully more art in the future? Although I really loved doing Disney in my own style. There might be more to come. Any suggestions?]]>R.I.P. by Defianceurn:uuid:e320d8ad-87f7-dfaa-9f58-11732bf227ae2011-02-21T17:38:39-08:00Character design for bear_cub_comics on Furaffinity.
Rip is a rather unique individual. His mother was a red kangaroo, and his father was a vampire bat. He goes to sleep lying down and often wakes up hanging upside down in his closet. He loves fruit, and the occasional blood frappe. He has fond memories of his mother's pouch. He loves to night surf. An outgoing, friendly guy!
This was fun, even moreso because combining these two species isn't something that comes to mind every day. Thanks dude for letting me help design such a cool character! =)

Yet I've slain so many I could have saved!"

On Furaffinity, I found slashersivi's project through laurenrivers's journal. I thought it was the COOLEST thing ever, so I had to give it a shot. =D This was so much fun! Thank you slashersivi for the opportunity to put my character on a playing card! ^^
The Furries in Wonderland Card Deck Project needs artists, or if you aren't an artist there are still plenty of cards spots available by commission!
9 hours , adobe CS 3.0]]>I'd Kill by Defianceurn:uuid:f2b09d48-e77d-7fd5-e654-99bb1b6bffef2010-12-25T17:39:39-08:00What would you do to uphold honor? Reputation? Loyalty? Love? Revenge?
Would you ever place one of these values above life? This question, and the consequences of choosing to kill, are the subject of many stories, Wing's included.
...The idea also ended up being the main theme for this piece near the last few minutes of drawing. (...actually, exactly when I thought a bleeding halo was an AWESOME idea and I HAD to find somewhere to stick it!) XP
This basically started with me saying, "Yay, it's Christmas! I feel like sketching! I think I'll try gradient shading, which I haven't done in about two years! Oh, and it must be shiny. OH I'M GONNA PUT CRYSTALS IN! ...TOO HAPPY NEEDS REDDD" I haven't drawn anything for the sole reason of fun in, like, forever. This makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. =)
