More arts minus the side of emo

[balaa]

First, finished mastiff piece for the kennel club deck :). Acrylic on media board.





Camaro for my friend Trish..ooooold sketch colored a few weeks ago to cheer her up. We are both Keith Urban fans and for whatever reason Camaro always reminds me of Keith Urban.


sketchu baggy and I did in oc..twas my favorite one because obviously it depicts Aslan :D


practice random sketch of a leopard/may or may not paint just for practice


leopardess emmerging from a rock den


a sketch I am about to paint, again mostly to give myself more practice, especially at rendering realistic fur on illustration board.


and a random icon for Thornwolf ..because I felt like it. *shlurps her*

that's all for tonight :D! Have a great one everyone!

I love that icon so much, thank you again XD It really really made my day :>

[xxbalaaxx.livejournal.com]

no worries..I think I also wanted to thank ya for posting the spiel you posted in the furcon lj. I hope you aren't getting any nastiness from folks >_>!

[thornwolf.livejournal.com]

Nah not really but we shall see. I'm not sure if you saw but one of the lead con staff people did see the post and she said that they have been looking into making changes for 2008. Unfortunately, as i figured, 2007 will have to remain as is because they already booked the tables, but she said that our opinions ARE in fact being heard. Here's to hoping =)

[xxbalaaxx.livejournal.com]

OOH that is wonderful..I read quite a few of the comments and I am glad to see how many people agreed with the issues you brought up, most especially from the artists who already have tables in the dealers room. It's nice to see even they agree that the current system is unfair...and I still think it was gutsy of you to speak up on behalf of not only yourself but a good deal many other people.

[thornwolf.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately after you commented in the conversation there were other folks who currently have tables that were against changing it because they are worried that they may have to forfeit their table for new artists to come in. Not necessarily the case. If they are on the ball and responsible enough to sign up at the time everone else is allowed to sign up for dealers tables (following my plan of handling things) then they'll get their table still. Ah well, here's to hoping for 2008. I'll drink to that!

[xxbalaaxx.livejournal.com]

I can understand the worry but at the same time as it is currently working..seems to me a lot of young/new artists on the scene may get discouraged with FC. You for one, its ridiculous that you have been on a waiting list for several years and still nothing...and truly you are a rather established artist as far as I am concerned. Anyway ya I'll leave it at that here and go and read the thread again :).

Cheers, heres hoping to good things in '08!

cool icon ^^
I have to say that your feline is adorable ^^ Really like the wonderful leopardess.

you're amusing

[xxbalaaxx.livejournal.com]

Im amusing? XD! *wonders if thats a good or bad thing ;) *

[wolftale.livejournal.com]

a very very good thing ;) wish I could draw like you.

[nyokirrr04.livejournal.com]

The dog is awesome (attitude, face expressions) and I love all the feline sketches as well.
- Nyo.

[joosephine.livejournal.com]

It seems to me that every time you draw, you express something, but also improve ^^ It is really great to see the growth of an amazing person and artist. If not already, we can expect great things from you, both in the world as it is, and the world of art n_n

My favourite is the one where the feline is holding a cub in its hands. To me, it symbokizes the fragility of life. Beautiful piece n-n*

[leelakin.livejournal.com]

Yay! Let me tell you one mor time just how much you friggin' ROCK AT DRAWING ANYTHING FELINE/CANINE. XDDD And probably everything else, too. O-O *bows*
I love the guitar lion. Hmmmmmmconcertanimals.

[leelakin.livejournal.com]

wait, that isn't a lion. XD;;;; *memory like a swiss cheese* I SCROLL DOWN AND EVERYTHING'S GONE!

[xxbalaaxx.livejournal.com]

you were close..tis a half lion..half cheetah :D!..*maulests his hawtness*

[scrii.livejournal.com]

More awesome than cheese in a microwave. ^^
So pretty!! I wish I could sketch that prettily!

[lizkay.livejournal.com]

yeah, really awesome stuff again!
I specially love how you shaded the mastiff in various colors (such a blue-ish shade color there) not only like the standard colors darker..
Also like your sketchy studies, very nice faces and paws!! :D

More coolness!

Hay there little liger!

Good day to you friend! Glad to see you are happy! Much better than the other that has been going on lately in your life.:3 I just wish to say your work is quite awesome as always. Could I get you to do a realistic full picture of my character sometime? You do such wonderful work.

Well friend you and yours have a most excellent day! Take care always! God bless and keep you and yours happy and safe always! ***Gives you a friendly hug and nuzzle!***

[taasla.livejournal.com]

Gawwww! The Aslan and second to the last one makes me happy.

*tackle, fluff, snuggle, plurr* Ze Balaa's artwork makes me happy and un-emo! ^_^ *squeeze*

That and you inspire me to practice and work harder.

Oh noes! D: I must get unsquishy or they'll call me the jellyfish lioness!

[mithmeoi.livejournal.com]

Beautiful new art! I really like the one with Aslan. ^^ The icon is really cute too. :D

[lmai.livejournal.com]

What awesome artwork sweets!

I love the variety in which you do things, from cartoon like to reality. It truly amazes me.

I dig that mastiff!!!!! All these Kennel club pictures are turning out so lovely!

I have to admit a particular fondness for the aslan like picture and the Leopard with teh cub in her hands. Being a new mother they find a certain place in my heart.

Keep up the awesome work hun, and it's good to know your feeling better ^.^

[hbruton.livejournal.com]

I love, love, love the blue hightlights on the mastiff. They really make the picture pop. The sketches are all excellent too. I think my fav might be the Aslan one:)

[nanook123.livejournal.com]

HOMG!! CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMY!! *snuggleglompshim* I'm so glad you colored this. I remember seeing the sketch yey many months ago and saying you should so color it. YEY :3

*rolls around* You know I love your skethces and stuff, I need not speak again whatevery one else has said.

[quentincoyote.livejournal.com]

Oooh, all very nice indeed! :)

[nimirpard.livejournal.com]

Your stuff rocks, as usual. The Aslan pic has a nice feel about it. Innocent and carefree. And, of course, the leopards steal the show with their awesomeness. Not that I'm biased or anything. ;P

[justblieve.livejournal.com]

Oooooo Camaro is hawt!

[http://users.livejournal.com/mendo_/]

Awww baby leopard! So cute!!! The kitties all look so fluffy! Aslan's mane looks exxxxxtra fluffy too, like he just shampooed it :D

[katanimate.livejournal.com]

OMG! I love that sketch of the leopard holding the little cubby! I want to sqweeze 'em! That certanly cheered me up^^
