Recent Pictures by SkyThingurn:uuid:c903698d-f83a-596c-6d94-1a4faa3a05e4Iridescent by SkyThingurn:uuid:53be9b5a-9228-44d4-22ce-37d4defdf2212010-11-06T14:59:26-07:00I started this thing soooooooooooooo long ago, haha. It's a custom coat I made for the online game Howrse, an online game. I just submitted it now so hopefully it'll be on there soon to put on unicorns!
I just love the idea of a unicorn with a deer horn for some reason =) and iridescent fur seemed so cool, so I just combined the two, yay. No refs used!
Please be gentle on crits, this is old + rushed the coloring a tad.]]>Sailor Moon Crossover by SkyThingurn:uuid:451d334e-79f8-de04-4aec-b67588bc41f02010-10-16T09:50:15-07:00A birthday gift for a friend =). It's Sailor Moon wearing a cowgirl outfit and riding a Chocobo. Note that I know almost nothing about these two series, so something may be inaccurate here.
No critiques please, anime style is not my strength.
3 hours, Wacom Graphire 4 Tablet, Photoshop CS4]]>A Legendary American Icon by SkyThingurn:uuid:1ec21e4b-cbc7-f08f-fa1b-075ab2140f852010-08-21T05:18:58-07:00Yay, my artists block is gone! Just randomly wanted to draw Ho-Oh yesterday, so I did...then I thought it'd look cool if his clenched claw had arrows in it, like the American Eagle...so I just figured I may as well go the whole nine miles and add the olive branch and the flag.
...I think he ate the eagle. Bad Ho-Oh! Bad!
I wanted to try some flat coloring this time, it has it's own elegant look to it. Shaded the parts I wanted people's attention to draw to. Overall I'm very pleased with this.
Photoshop CS4 + Wacom Graphire 4 Tablet + 1.5 Hours]]>Jabberwalk by SkyThingurn:uuid:14788e58-d64d-63d3-aec6-5e49e119942d2010-06-26T15:25:22-07:00I felt like doing some more computer art :) been really busy lately and it was nice to do some quick art now that things have settled down again. I hadn't done one of these in ages, and the other day I thought, "Hey, wouldn't a JabberWalk be a witty one?" So I did it.
I used a Walkman in the picture because I loooove my Walkman MP3 Player :) and I am anti-Apple, no offense to anybody but they bash PCs in their ads, and I luv PCs, so that doesn't sit too well with me <3. Plus their stuff is ridiculously expensive.
Some of you may have noticed I also edited my avatar. My fursona Sora has undergone a tad of a makeover. She now has bigger horns (two sets to be exact), different colored eyes, Jabberwock type teeth and nails, her feet are more velociraptor styled now, she is even more flat-chested and has muscly arms (call me weird but manly women rock), she's not such a wuss and is now very confident (spurred by me not being such a wuss anymore), and her wings can change size to be bigger if she wants. She's now a Silence Dragon/Fox/Jabberwock/Demon. Her clothing style has changed as well, to suit my now more daring tastes. Yay for change! That's all I think. I may draw something else soon.
EDIT: Oops, forgot to mention, this is my character Dagger. He's a bit of an Alice In Wonderland OC, but really more my original creation. His top hat has wingies on it.]]>Fingerless Gloves by SkyThingurn:uuid:f2f6c4bf-ccf0-29de-6b46-7a8df64779e82010-06-22T20:54:18-07:00Finally finished my gloves =)! They're based off the gloves my Hellcat character Perseus has (posted a picture of him not too long ago), minus the devil pentagram and I changed the spikes to beads, since I couldn't find spikes.
I feel pretty proud of these considering they're only really my second big sewing project ever. They are meant to look a bit raggedy, I ran scissors along the edge of the strips of fabric in the center to make them fray. The colored fabric is in the colors of the bisexual flag. I am not ashamed of my orientation.]]>Convertible Jeans by SkyThingurn:uuid:6f80ab6e-ec22-88ca-3fee-90f3c99c1e902010-06-22T20:54:12-07:00I finally finished my jeans! I made them so they can convert into capris =) and added the zippers and studs and such to make them look nice. I'm working on a pair of gloves next.
I'm considering doing fashion design at college, so I'm getting some practice ahead of time. Idea and project created by me, with room for failure.]]>Keane T-Shirt by SkyThingurn:uuid:1ee9a63c-545e-3c4d-0187-79246174b6b72010-06-18T15:37:09-07:00Made a t-shirt transfer :). Did all the digital painting in Photoshop with each image being a separate file. Since Keane has too many songs to put on one shirt (42 if memory serves), I just did all their songs from my favorite album of theirs, Perfect Symmetry. It was fun doing something kinda abstract for once, I just painted whatever came to mind.
I'm going to their Chicago concert soon so I wanted to stand out a bit <3. So excited!
The songs from left to right, top to bottom:
Time To Go, Spiraling, Better Than This, You Haven't Told Me Anything, Pretend That You're Alone, Perfect Symmetry, Playing Along, Again & Again, You Don't See Me, The Lovers Are Losing, Love Is The End, Black Burning Heart]]>Perseus by SkyThingurn:uuid:159cd690-5dbd-1a1c-a44e-bc113f989a212010-05-31T16:31:49-07:00Partially did this to make myself a personal Squiby, and partially because I've been meaning to draw Perseus for a while now =).
Perseus is my Hellcat character, and as you can see, he likes black...a lot. Those are devil pentagrams on his boots and glove (not to be mixed up with the regular pentagram), in my mental storyline he's Lucifer's pet Hellcat (though he despises the term "pet", as his species are reasonably intelligent and capable of shapeshifting). His eyes are still cat-like in his human form though.
Just in case there's some confusion about this, I'm not intending anyone any offense with the pentagrams or anything, this picture is meant to be light hearted so please don't take it too seriously =).
Because I can't design cool shoes to save my life, only other clothes.]]>Hellcat Squibies by SkyThingurn:uuid:fc98c8ca-206a-6598-e311-32474aaae1042010-05-31T16:22:32-07:00Well I did a Hellhound so I had to do a Hellcat too =). they are relatively similar in terms of coloring, but Hellcats are smarter and can shapeshift. I feel very proud of this drawing, mainly the adult cat. This is the best cat I have ever drawn, I also did both pictures without any reference. Debating on doing a Hellhorn sometime, but they are a royal pain to draw (horses mostly covered in spikes and flames with multiple unicorn horns).

Plus I love Lapras and have been training one called Vengeance for my team on HeartGold for a while now. The Pokeball was originally much larger, but it's boring and insignificant compared to the Lapras so I shrunk it for this picture =P. I'm very pleased with how my experimenting came out overall.

I think it'll be easier from here on since I got past that second hurdle. Still working on my realistic people and I'm very badly practiced at birds so bear with me here.
Starring the random Ragnarok admin Margarita and her Fearow StarTrace, and Steele and his Treecko, Pirate.]]>Deep Sea Serpent Squiby by SkyThingurn:uuid:21b6ee2b-2d96-33de-7687-faf1116735c12010-05-28T15:36:14-07:00Wanted to do s'more drawing so finally got around to doing an illustration of a deep sea serpent I've had in my head for a while called Narwhal (no idea why I named him that, just sounded good). My particular sea serpent character is almost two cruise ships in length and about half a million years old. He lives deep in the ocean off an island I currently can't remember the name of (I made it up), and his mermaid pal sends him pesky fisherman who yank out her scales and demand great riches. Tasty people, yum yum.
I made it an adoptable on Squiby too.

Didn't take me that long and was pretty fun, so though it's not my best or anything it was a nice activity to do.
Listened to Bad Romance a whole bunch while I was drawing, been obsessed with it ever sine Glee did it on Tuesday *is a major Gleek*.

The coloring will get better over time, still working on that, pretty happy with it overall though. The first character is Steele, there are others that will be introduced after him. Stay tuned!
And yes, there will actually be Pokemon in the next page, I promise. Updates once a week on Saturday.]]>Goblin Shark Speedpaint by SkyThingurn:uuid:a1bfcaca-6775-435c-f7a5-2fb3a1ceca7b2010-05-22T10:57:55-07:00By request of a friend who wanted to see me draw a Goblin Shark =) they're really cool, you should Google them. Was a nice quickie to do.]]>Doodle 4 Google Entry by SkyThingurn:uuid:cc33d1a3-38e0-c5ff-08cc-90f5429fd59e2010-05-18T09:20:56-07:00Honestly I can't think of much to say...I made this over a month ago for the Doodle 4 Google competition and found out today I didn't place at all, so I am feeling a little crabby about that since I spent around 3 weeks constantly working on this, but I'll recover eventually. Not sure if I'll enter again next year, sometimes it feels like my ideas are too creative to appeal to the judges.
Here's the text I made up to go along with it:
Limitless Prospects
If I could do anything, I would become a shape-shifter. I could run like a horse, fly like a dragon, see the world through a cat’s eyes. The only limit would be my imagination. The possibilities are endless!
From left to right: Sora (my fursona), a collie, a wolf who I made yellow to match the google letter, a unicorn, my vampire character Elod, and a dragon.]]>Mud Dauber Wasp Squiby by SkyThingurn:uuid:f05eaf25-4d09-c80f-fa85-da88360c54ac2010-05-04T14:42:41-07:00One of my other favorite insects =). Really enjoyed drawing this one, I haven't drawn a wasp in ages so it was a nice refresher. I have this unlikely dream to have one as a pet one day, but unless I happen to come across one that's unable to fly that dream will probably never come to fruition.

Will be making more colors later, this particular one is salt and pepper.
To help mine grow <3: ]]>Jabberwock Squiby by SkyThingurn:uuid:61d4c615-d7a2-c789-8039-e7b11b6bafb02010-05-03T11:11:58-07:00Finished these yesterday, but due to technical difficulties on Squiby I didn't upload them here or there until today =).
This is my version of a Jabberwock, it's quite different from the traditional one and waaaay different than the one in the new movie. Their claws, teeth and horns are made from carbon fiber, which is how they can be so fragile looking but still deliver deadly force. They digest their prey by drenching it in their acidic drool then slurping it up. This is the only way they can get it through their teeth. They are capable of breathing fire, have poisonous barbs on the end of their tail, and can fly as fast as a jet plane when they really want to.

Woo *collapses* horses are my bane...probably one of the top 5 hardest things for me to draw, but I love them so. There will likely be lots of re-colors and edits of this one, but I probably won't swamp this place with most of them, may post the better ones.
This is a species I made up called Glornornians. They're telepathic horses, pegasi, or unicorns (and occasionally hippocampi). They live in groups and are on the same intelligence level as humans, if not higher. They always have a head armor with a gem in it, and have some magical capabilities.

It was inevitable I would make a Xenomorph Squiby at some point, seeing as I'm such a rapid fangirl of the series :). I'm totally in love with how this came out <3 I could hug the adult form.
This is the first time in a while I've tried a "cold" drawing (the adult form), a.k.a. red shadows and blue highlights, and I love how it came out. I'll probably do it more often in future.

My brother came up with the hilarious idea of making a Marvin (The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy) Squiby, so I decided to draw one, it was too good to resist :). The egg form was originally going to be a box of robotic parts, but this idea seemed funnier so I went with it.

Woot, joined Squiby and made a Hellhound Squiby :) here's the three levels of it <3.
Squiby is an awesome website where you can draw your own adoptables and it's easy-peasy to sign up for and use. Be warned though, the registration page doesn't like Firefox, I had to use IE for that bit.
