WIP – Myces page 4 (where we meet Xylophanes)

Someday I won’t be so slow at drawing and I’ll be able to post new pages of things before people have forgotten the old ones.

Haha, who am I kidding?  Nobody forgets these.

2nd draft [partim] – …and Thou.

The first draft was posted in full on my LiveJournal.


On a cool April day—the sun shining with a softness of color that pastelified the world—Kohath was shopping. Just by looking at him you could tell he was touched by love; he was humming “45’s Earthlight,” and his usual trudge was replaced by the unselfconsciousness that only comes from focusing on someone else.

He moved alone, though, down the street of shops, stopping every now and then to look at things in the windows that caught his eye: colorful glass sculptures, a chocolate fountain, a dance lesson—until he caught the warm scent of bread baking and knew what he wanted. He followed his nose to the bakery and approached the counter.

“Good morning, wolf,” said the baker, a short boar in a flour-covered apron. “What can I get for you today?”

“Bread!” he said, grinning. The baker only rolled his eyes at the joke. “Uh, one of those sweet loaves. And half a dozen of… nah, just that.”

WIP [coloring] – Myces page 2 (The one with the fencepost).

I actually am working on coloring these.  (For those who missed out, the full-size b&w version is in my Fur Affinity scraps.)  I know it’s strange, outlandish stuff, but that’s what imagination’s for.

Scrap – Mr Shine’s New Home.

This is more or less random writing as I don’t currently have a Shine story I’m working on; still kind of feeling around for a plot. Ends kind of abruptly, but improvements have to wait till next round, or else I’d never put anything down. :p I think they end up by sleeping outside for a while.


It took us a while before we could save up to rent an apartment, but once we did, things just started turning up all over. Actually having a place to keep groceries really helped kill the expense of eating out for every meal.

I remember the first day — the day we moved in. I threw my pack in a corner of the empty living room and sprawled out on the carpet. “Ahhh,” I said, pulling Jan to me, throwing his shadow to the wall. “The life, babe. How’s it feel to be off the streets?”

I was excited, yeah. But my fox wasn’t.

“Jan?”

He lay across my belly, and his face was as sad as I’ve ever seen it. “What’s wrong?”

“It’s like we’ve got nothing, all over again.”

“We never had anything, really… did we?”

“The whole city was ours. Now we get to be put in boxes all over again. Tiny little boxes…”

I held him.

“I don’t want to be… all cooped up again, like I was before.”

WIP – Taaq the Icebear.

All right, guys, this week I was slackin’ off a bunch on the getting things done front, in arts and elsewhere. It may take me a while to get the hang of doing this, so be patient with me. Decided it’d make the most sense to post each piece I’ve been working on in separate posts, even if it means a little mini-flood every week.

So, the first thing I’m posting today is one some of you have already seen, which is the picture of IcebearMuke. He’s the bear I’ve been playing on Sundays. Well, I say IcebearMuke. The characters I play online tend to acquire counterparts in my worlds, and this guy is really more in that element than mine. He’s kind of slotted into Nother, around Kohath’s timeframe. Not sure what planet he lives on. His name is Taaq Ulluriittuq (á‘–á–… ᐅᓪᓗᕇᑦᑐᖅ) which is supposed to be Inuktitut for ‘the dark is starless’. Not many polar bears left in those days.

He fishes.  And of course he’s chubby. ;)

Taaq

New home for Muke arts

Just want to welcome those who are coming over to my new site, now that I’m starting to separate my blogs from each other.   We’re still a bit rough and empty; have patience with me.

If you look back at the old posts a bit you’ll see that I used to use this space for posting my completed stuff.  From here on out though, the finished arts will have a home on the gallery page, the finished writing will have a home on the library page, and this blog will be focused towards my works in progress:  I’ll try and update weekly with snapshots of what I’ve been working on.  I’ll also work on dredging up older things as well and retro-posting them.

Barbarian Jakob.

Barbarian JakobA request by Khatoblepas.  This is his character Jakob, a portly behemoth, as a loinclothed barbarian leaping through the air with one of those gradient effects flying off his sword; I suppose he’s not high-level enough to produce a lens flare.

It came out very pastel because of some effect of the light; the character’s normally a much darker purple.   This picture took about seven and a half hours to complete, the last two being coloring.  I had to redraw it entirely once, as the first sketch became untenable about halfway through.

“Got somethin’ for ya…”

"Got somethin' for ya..."You come home to find Blake the red kangaroo sittin’ on yer bed.

He’s been rentin’ a room from ya for some time. He pays in cash and won’t tell ya his last name. You always thought he might be interested in ya, by the way he looks atcha…

“I’ve got somethin’ for ya,” he says, in that overseas accent that always gets yer motor running. “Pick a hand, left or right.”

You’re not sure ya wanna choose either. About this time, honestly, you’d like to go straight down the middle. He winks atcha.

“Right,” you say.

He pulls out his right hand and shows ya it’s empty. Before you can get properly disappointed, he grabs ya with it and pulls ya in for a kiss.


A while back I made a comment somewhere that I don’t think I’ve ever actually designed a character for sexiness as opposed to general cuddliness… and I decided, hey, I could probably give that a shot. He seems to be pretty popular over on FA.

Claudiney.

lobhotigre_smallerI’ve been wanting to draw Lobhotigre for a while.  He’s got a cute character and judging by how often he favs my stuff, he’s probably one of my biggest fans.

I haven’t finished anything colored in a while.  This is kind of quick and rough compared to how I’ve colored stuff in the past, but I still sort of like the effect.

Fernin and Muke.

Fernin and Muke

This is the first of my latest batch of art requests, asked for by Fernin, who wanted a pic of his character snuggling with mine.

Finished this a couple days ago and it’s already on FA but neglected to post it here.  I may get around to coloring this eventually.
