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

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.

WIP – Koopa.

I thought I’d post some of the stuff I’m working on. Putting up a static WIP feels like a bad idea to me (too much temptation to say ‘good enough’ and move on) so here’s a video of me at work.

This is a sculpture of a Koopa I’m working on for a friend. I worked on it for about half an hour last night; recorded about half of it, and sped it up to save you time. Sorry about the angle; I’m going to have to find a better place to put my camera.

I think I’ll be posting more like this.

Hydra.

A requested portrait of everyone’s favorite calico felitaur.  He stretches a lot in idle moments of conversation, so that’s how I drew him.

I totally love the way his expression came out.  I still don’t think I got the hands quite right, though.

The color came out better than I thought, but those of you who want to see the drawing before coloration can check out its submission on Fur Affinity.

Tubby Bowser.

Another old request: Bowser at 700 lbs.

K.: Try and make 700lbs look attractive XP
There’s a challenge for yous.
You’ll never do it, mwahaha
Muke: LIES
K.: What, a 700lb-equiv Bowser? I don’t think it could be possibly attractive :P
Muke: How come?
K.: Because like, he’s bowser. And the add fat.
Muke: bowser = attractive. fat = attractive. win-win!
K.:Lol, extra challenge, try and do him in a laying down, pin-up pose :P
That would be, in no uncertain terms, epic.

Who wants to color it?

EDIT (10/29):  Khatoblepas has gone all the way and colored it up—be sure to check it out in full awesomeness!

Maxim

Maxim

Yeah, so I figured I’d try going through and drawing as many of my characters as I could.  (It’s a whim that seems to strike me from time to time; maybe I’ll make some progress on it this time.)

This is Maxim, one of my oldest characters.  A bit of a mary-sue, but hopefully we can work on that a bit.  Never mind that his equipment is straight out of Zelda.

I’m going to have to work on coloring this.  It’s been so long it took me nearly four or five attempts to get it to look anything like him… The hands are really poorly-done, but I’m really happy with how the feet came out.

Ralph

Who is Ralph? I only know him from the outside, this crush I have on him.

He smells nice, but that is probably because he’s a pig and I’m a tiger. Only barbarians eat other people, but I spend time around him and I get hungry. So we’re always going out for food.

He drives a forklift for a living. His alone time is chiefly spent working out, but he spends most of the time hanging out with friends. I should qualify that—it’s more that he goes places and people follow him.

Actually…

It’s just me that follows him.

His house is always open, and I’d gotten in the habit of coming over to hang out.

And when he’d come home, he’d take me out for a walk. Or we’d go to dinner. On weekends, we might go camping, or drive to Mexico, or any kind of…

Either he loved me, or I was just his sidekick.

He never showed an interest in anybody.

I don’t know what he wants to do with his life. I guessed he was doing it already… for all I know he’s still saving up for the flux capacitor he was dreaming of when we were kids.

So. No deep substance or meaning. Why do I love him so? He loves himself; he never lets anything or anybody get in his way once he’s set his mind; and…

Well… I guess he just smells nice.
