Forest Nymph Final

     Here is the finished picture! I wanted to do something more with the background, but I couldn't think of anything at the time, and I need to work on my homework. I think she's absolutely stunning. She has a sort of forlorn air about her.

Canine Shaman

     I had the horrible realization this morning that I did not draw yesterday. It wasn't that I didn't want to, it was that I had a really weird napping schedule going on. I worked from 9am to 3pm, which required me to wake up at 6:30 am. This was a major adjustment, and by the time I got home from work, all I wanted to do was sleep some more. I ended up napping an hour, waking up, napping another hour, then intending to stay awake; I slept from then until 3:30 am and decided just to sleep the rest of the night. To compensate for this, I will do two drawings today. 

     Now, onto the picture. I just started out wanting to draw something that was canine-esque in form. He looks to be some sort of shaman, because he has a staff and some pouches at his waist. I never usually have a clear idea of what I want a picture to be like when I draw it. I just go for it and see what happens. My boyfriend said that it looks sort of Egyptian-like, and I guess I can see that in this picture.

Stallion Lineart

     Today I really had it in my mind that I wanted to do a digital design for today's blog post. I played with a few ideas, and finally ended up choosing to do a line art of a stallion. I love horses, and after doing a little research on different types of breeds, I settled on the Clydesdale. It is a rather large breed, and it has the long hair covering the hooves and legs that I really like. I think this is an absolutely beautiful breed. I may add color to this in the future. Reference image an be found, here.

Wolf

     Now, don't be mislead by the title of this post. I know that I did not do sketches of a wolf. These are sketches that I did of our Boxer, Wolfgang - or Wolf, for short. I don't draw animals from reference as often as I should, and for some reason I really wanted to draw his paws today. The small notes written on the picture are descriptions of what paw, etc. There's a little blurb about Wolf, as well. He's about five years old, I think. He's really big for a boxer. I don't mean that he is obese; I mean that he is large. He's big-boned and muscular. I would guess that he weighs around 100 pounds. 

     On another note: it is Day 50, and I have 500 pageviews! Wow. I never thought that I would get to this point. I have no idea who checks my blog every day, because most of them probably don't want to create an account to follow my blog. However, if you are a regular viewer, and you are reading this, I will encourage you to take the little bit of time to sign up and follow my blog, so that I can see who you are :) I will thank you greatly afterwards. I still have 315 days to go and I never thought I would have so many views at this point.

Ms. Sable Herself

    

      This is an illustration of the main character of my novel, Days of a Demon, that I am working on editing one final time before I can put it out on the market. I did the honor of posting the content of the back cover here, so that you can get a feel of what the book is about, and the story behind the character. As stated, she is a demon. This feisty femme boasts sleek, somewhat wavy raven hair, and bright crimson eyes. These are traits passed down through her family. She has an interesting style of dress. She adopted a gothic/Victorian sort of style from her parents, but has slowly begun to develop more of her own style after living alongside the mortals for so long.

Tender Memories

"And that's when I first saw her..."

     This one actually started out as a personal drawing, and I didn't think that it was going to turn out this well.I had already drawn something for the day, but didn't like it. Well, here it is. The girl in the picture there is me. The other character is an anthro character from a little personal fable that will not be mentioned. His left shoulder sports a fresh, open wound.

Playful Panther

     What can I say? I love panthers. There's nothing like imagining one acting like a common playful canine :) A very good friend of mine tends to take on a playful feral form that I adore. I am still waiting to hear back from Lowe's about the position that I interviewed for. I have my fingers crossed. Made this picture on GIMP, with a reference picture of a dog in that pose.

Mischievous Creature

     This was a fun one to make. I just sat down, and decided that I wanted to do some digital art. I've been doing a lot of animals/anthro/creatures lately. I absolutely love making creatures. Just from the way this one is colored, and the different parts of its anatomy would suggest that it's some sort of semi-aquatic creature. I called it mischievous, because it has that sort of facial expression. Made with GIMP 2.6.
