I found something new to obsess over

[balaa]

Im a part of the totem cards project and one of the cards I am to illustrate is to depict saber toothed cats. Needless to say when I heard that my responce was a long lived giddy, and might I add girly, squeel of joy.


Oddly enough Ive been watching a lot of 'walking with prehistoric animals" sort of documentaries and I always loved them. And I love seeing people's interpretations of the animals markings and such...which really we can only guess at with the help of modern scientific facts..and of course 'freedom of interpretation' is an artist's paradise.

and..and..and..they are KITTIES! SO I may well be drawing a lot more of them even outside the project, simply as an excuse to draw yet more felines..which remain my passion. *dives into google to sniff out more info on our long toothed friends of long ago* WEEEEEEEEEE

I have also been invited to join another 'bestiary card' sort of project depicting, instead of wild animals, breeds of dogs...Given the fact that I grew up around dogs and spent 5 years of my life living and breathing dog fur at a grooming shop, that's right up my alley. I haven't heard back from them since the invite but hopefully I will be a part of the project as I havent really been part of too many portfolios. It is a nice chance to expand my artistic horizons...and have fun doodlings all kinds of stuffs!


My concept..which may well change still as I gather more information and different piccies of collected skulls and what have you.


also another update on my wild dogs. Erf I have come to realize I am absolutely hopeless when it comes to human anatomy, especially female anatomy ;)..go figure..I'm a woman yet I am clueless as how to draw my own err kind. BUT at least I am just plain having fun with the picture :) and its given me an excuse to push myself to learn canine anatomy.

Thats all for this morning. Now to make a pitiful attempt to sleep.

A shoutout to baggy and Nanook..I miiisssss ooocciiinnggg with chooo. Also reminds me I need to oc with Goldenrod fox *pokes at him*

*snugs back* Hehe no worries. I thought you'd like the pictures because they are good canine references.
