Recent Pictures by Link_Lover1187urn:uuid:cde1c993-4b85-51c8-9798-bcefddd9774eLily: Queen of the Nile by Link_Lover1187urn:uuid:4dbb25c4-b256-1d2e-9016-e796db830c3e2011-04-05T18:43:14-07:00Yet another anthro kitty. ^_^ This time it's Lily, as an egyptian queen (along with a servant, of course. XD)
She usually acts like she's the queen of the house, so it seemed fitting.
I'm actually really happy with the heiroglyphs- I used a font from DAfont for 'em, as well as the pics of the lions on the jars and the Scarab above the door.]]>Kirin Encounter by Link_Lover1187urn:uuid:cf1c6c23-546a-bb55-66da-18f2296f5c672011-03-29T07:37:56-07:00The same Kirin spot illustration except set in a foresty scene. ^_^]]>Kirin by Link_Lover1187urn:uuid:7749f2f5-a95a-cc6f-16eb-d4a12f2457732011-03-29T07:32:23-07:00A spot illustration of a Kirin- a magic creature from China and Japan. Basically, an asian version of a unicorn, though in Japan they're usually described with scales instead of fur.
In China, they're described as having the five sacred colors- Yellow, Red, Blue, Black, and White. So I tried to incorporate those colors as best I could.]]>Owl-Dragon by Link_Lover1187urn:uuid:f7076f7d-d663-fcc6-ad19-d5bc27e0b23f2011-03-29T07:23:26-07:00I finally decided to put Ollie in a scene! I saw this picture I'd taken while up north last summer and was like- "This is where he belongs!" ^_^]]>Amphitere by Link_Lover1187urn:uuid:5957e494-28a1-d424-ac68-b16ea829f93a2011-03-20T21:15:10-07:00A version of an Amphitere- traditionally, a snake with wings like a bird. I thought I'd extrapolate that idea though and turn it into a feathered serpent.]]>You've Been Spotted by Link_Lover1187urn:uuid:f251920b-2b82-71a0-ed8e-6fdf908c258a2011-03-19T12:04:50-07:00This is the same Pixie from the spot Illustration- I wanted to see what he looked like in his native habitat. ^_^
Better beware, though- he knows you're there. And trust me, these things are MEAN.]]>Pixie by Link_Lover1187urn:uuid:82ede9a3-c90f-d026-cb2e-3533f8eb56192011-03-19T11:59:38-07:00"Pixies are to fairies what goblins are to humans. However, their habits are far worse than goblins. They're known for being violent, crude, and even cannabalistic- often torturing their victims to death before eating them. What little culture/religion they have as a society is based completely on death and blood sacrifices, most of which are made to and on a specific tree that grows beside the shore of Lake Qureis. They live as nomads in the woods, building structures out of leaves as needed, and travel in small, family groups, consisting of anywhere from 7 to 10 individuals. They constantly quarrel with other clans over territorial rights, females, and food sources. Squabbles tend to arise from within their own group as well.
Pixies are usually between 4 to 6 inches tall, with twisted, insect-like bodies and stunted wings- very few of them actually fly. Their faces are brutish, with compound eyes and an oversized jaw full of jagged teeth. They're skin is usually blue or green in color- a form of camoflauge, as they actively hunt large insects and small mammals. Pixies lay eggs, like insects, in clutches of three or four, and usually hide them under leaves or in crevaces of bark. For all their ruthlessness, mother pixies do stay to guard their eggs, and nurture their children until mature."]]>Makanoo by Link_Lover1187urn:uuid:1d88ab74-1277-a6a9-919b-bd0caab26ac72011-03-18T19:06:36-07:00"Makenoo are extremely rare creatures that are only found in a few areas on Tiearga, the Forest of Turquoise being one of them. They're dragons with long, sinuous bodies, cloven hooves, and large deer-like antlers. They range in color from green to blue-violet, with lighter colored underbellies. Usually found in freshwater rivers and lakes, they feed on large fish, turtles, frogs, and aquatic mammals, as well as various plants, both aquatic and land-based. They can grow to up to 20 feet long, with a circumference of 5 feet.
Fiercely territorial, they're known for spitting balls of water at those who wander too close. The water they fire comes from a special pouch- simular to the craw of a bird- in which they store water for use in boyancy when swimming."]]>Who Needs Milk? by Link_Lover1187urn:uuid:1d3e038d-075b-13f1-2db3-8afb7580edd62011-03-16T16:19:40-07:00Sketch I drew last night and colored this morning. XD
The idea seemed funnier last night, but then, I was drinking last night. XD]]>Tavern Boy Dreams by Link_Lover1187urn:uuid:ab76e3b5-bab3-4dfe-1ec8-91e23a54338b2011-03-15T17:46:07-07:00Random doodle I colored today. ^_^
Based on a short story I wrote a year ago involving the characters. ;)]]>Missy Mime by Link_Lover1187urn:uuid:8a958b71-d563-f2d5-3289-22f5421bdd8a2011-02-17T14:38:47-08:00Another piece of art slinking its way out of my head...
This is the next in my cat series- my pet Missy turned into a street mime. It's a perfect fit, since she doesn't make any noise when she meows- we just hear her lips smacking.]]>Tears in Rain Revisited by Link_Lover1187urn:uuid:223ae42a-02cf-04dd-f1b3-5f084dc5e1f32011-01-22T12:45:26-08:00I'd been meaning to finish this one for a while before finally feeling up to it a week or two ago. I suppose it probably reflects how I feel about my life right now...
In any case, I've never hated Navi- I usually attribute her annoyingness to game design rather than her actual character (in the same vein as Link's lack of voice, or even text.)
Though I've always thought it'd make for an interesting story if Link was actually a mute.]]>An Epic Meeting by Link_Lover1187urn:uuid:ffc081c3-f92d-82b6-fe9c-7c1200d5c2372010-10-12T19:58:20-07:00A quick one-page comic about an E P I C meeting between my two favorite elves in the whole universe. Link and Legolas.
Okay... so it's not that epic. XD
This is only the second time I've ever drawn Legolas, surprisingly enough. o.O]]>The Final Blow? by Link_Lover1187urn:uuid:ecd3c5dd-b89c-1cd1-6336-fd3526a8b61a2010-09-21T21:00:15-07:00Been working on this for a couple of days now- ever since I read through the Ocarina of Time Manga online. ^_^
I'm still not q u i t e happy with Link's position... but It'll do. :P]]>Re-Dead Wuss by Link_Lover1187urn:uuid:7c42bd06-a05f-3e30-030b-f08e26eb96482010-09-20T20:41:16-07:00A quick one-page comic based on a silly idea. :P
Those Re-Deads still give me the creeps, by the way. >.<]]>Sano's Nemesis by Link_Lover1187urn:uuid:40cd40c7-7c17-3b4b-f256-e86e68429b562010-08-22T14:24:44-07:00Another funny chibi piece. XD
If I remember right (since I haven't watched through it in a long while) Sano's not a big fan of technology- he's spooked by cameras and doesn't like riding trains.
I tried to imagine what his reaction might be to a cellphone. XD
Poor Kenshin! He has to put up with everyone's weirdness. XD]]>A Happy Kenshin by Link_Lover1187urn:uuid:6ef7e9f4-2b5d-c3a0-939f-1f88dfb3e1d72010-08-21T18:37:30-07:00Another Rurouni Kenshin piece- just Kenshin this time. ^_^
It took me a couple days to finish him since the first time I started out I was way too unfocused. XD
All I have to say is- thank-you eyedropper tool! XD]]>Somebody Killed Kenny by Link_Lover1187urn:uuid:03f3a4de-669e-f53e-5f24-e7bcdd9454692010-08-20T19:48:02-07:00Lol this popped into my head the other day while sifting though all of the wonderful Rurouni Kenshin stuff we have here on Fanart. XD
It's always been one of my favorite animes, and I realized that I had never done any artwork based on it. o.O Odd.
So! I did a couple of pieces to remedy the situation. ^_^ Which includes this one.]]>Linky Winky by Link_Lover1187urn:uuid:e18dade9-6b88-ec9a-7d63-6ac3a30a65392010-08-18T16:04:25-07:00I haven't done any pics of Link in a looooong time, and the urge came to me today to draw him, so I followed that particular urge. XD
He's just a quicky- I actually drew him as an avatar for my account here on Fanart.]]>Misstress Autumn Reinvisioned by Link_Lover1187urn:uuid:26981a32-0101-831d-daa6-cb397d9f580d2010-08-09T17:22:15-07:00Since I was on a roll with my other cat-turned-anthro pictures, I decided to go back and re-do Autumn. ^_^ She's got more personality this time around, and I took the time to put in more detail.
The first one was basically a quick sketch that was finished more as a joke than anything- it only got colored 'cause it was laying around in my sketchbook while I was taking Photoshop class...
Me likey the text. X3]]>Disco Dylon by Link_Lover1187urn:uuid:06dc6597-7a77-3401-c20e-61c6f07dce822010-08-05T20:03:21-07:00Anthro cat number four of seven. :D
This is Dylon, our only male cat. He pretends to be cool by strutting around like he owns the place, but always does dorky stuff. XD So he ended up as a disco dude- someone who thinks he's cool but totally not.
This was so much fun! And sparkly. XD Very sparkly.]]>Maggie the Punk by Link_Lover1187urn:uuid:e413eaf8-8b4b-2842-4409-0c712005c9272010-08-05T19:59:07-07:00Another anthro kitty! :D
This is our cat, Maggie. Third of Seven. ;)
I gotta say, this really matches her personality... she's such a stinker! X3 Plus, it was fun to do. The grafitti I did with the help of a tutorial, though I had to fudge it a bit since my Photoshop Elements doesn't have all the same features as full-fledged Photoshop.]]>Hummy by Link_Lover1187urn:uuid:e01d2b0b-6965-ad27-6d90-1967a05a6ba22010-08-03T16:55:16-07:00This is Hummy - I based his shape on that of a Hummingbird. ^_^ I thought of the idea while I was up north visiting my grandparents, since they have a feeder that they pretty much have to re-fill every day or so. o.O]]>Too Early for Skarrgle by Link_Lover1187urn:uuid:4cd9b51e-3a95-21c1-77d3-c3237a55ace82010-08-03T16:51:02-07:00Skarrgle again. For some reason I got this image of him sitting in a cafe chair with a mug o' coffee- so I decided to go with it. XD
I added the text on his mug just for fun. XD]]>Flyin' Wally by Link_Lover1187urn:uuid:d473bbfe-fde8-51a3-872b-74a8afc0f3522010-08-03T16:47:58-07:00Another colored doodle of Wally. ^_^]]>
