balaaDo you ever have a day like this?
My friend Nick got the lucky chance to visit Disneyworld this past week..so of course I had to make an angry chibi commemorating the moment. His angry cuteness makes me hurt so good.
It was also his birthday yesterday and so I made him this for his birthday. I actually had fun just playing with this picture :).
A thank you badge for Arckra ^__^!! Yes sporks of fury...fear them
and a random badge for my friend Lmai who is from Canada..so course..had to do something Canadian XD....I want more beaver buzz >O.
Couldn't do a badge for Lmai without doing one for her hubby ^___^.
And ehm..I couldn't think of anything mean for Baggy to say..so his is more or less just a insidiously cute chibi saberkitty badge.
Now onto some sketches and wip's.
Wicked Sairah told me about her newest character, Murdock the racoon dog pirate..I LOVE HIM!!! All her characters just make me giddy..so had to drawr him.
Concept for a painting of Balaa. I have the mood and colors figured out but I'm still toying with compositional and background elements..and trying to decide whether to try it rm or digital :/.
Another concept sketch I came up with with much help from baggy..Initially it was going to be a fullbody piece with my black snowy Zhed stalking behind his brother Hago..but I couldn't get any poses to work so focused on their faces...I am still working on this concept..methinks I will go through several more thumbnail sketches before one really clicks.
This one started out with the idea of a very firm idea of how I wanted the scene to be lit..and I knew I wanted a female puma anthro to be the central focus of the piece..but wasn't sure of a pose. AGAIN with Baggy's help, this took shape. It's still in the early stages, but I am very certain of what I want for lighting/wtmosphere/background elements.
Recently while googling for random pictures, I came across a couple of black panthers curled up with tigers..and I was just really amused by the difference in size and how gentle the tigers seemed to be with their smaller feline counterparts..plus the contrast in species is just fun. Done in an oc session with Baggy *murr*
Nother concept for a painting ^_^..I know exactly how I want it to be lit...ehehehe the challenge wll be to see if I can actually pull it off real media!
An earliesh wip of a private commission. The guy approached me with an idea sometime ago of two tigers cuddling..and..tigers..I couldn't say no!
AND a wip of my newest character..YES FINALLY a lemur character. I decided since I wasn't sure what I wanted his personality to be like or anything as my first pic of him i'd draw him as a baby. Introducing Sorbo, my babeh lemur boy! Any suggestions for personalities?? His sister will be Zena(guess the link and you get a cookie) and Nanook123 will be her momma. Also my friend Lmai is Working on another Lemur, a red ruffed lemur called Iolas ..yay a trio of lemurs! Slowly but surely we will populate the world with lemurness.
oh and he will be holding a Mango Balloon. I really ought to just finish this pic already o_o.
And to wrap it up, some more angry chibis for choo!
To understand this one you have to watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3J9Qlo80yk
(left one was done by Nanook..and is more happeh than hateful *snugshisfloofyhead*)
OOOH oh and one more I CANT forget to show XD because I love it for its crazyness:
Done by the brilliant![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kkitty23..Haha I nearly died when she sent me the link. I LOVE IT!! and its going on a t-shirt I just bought for it!
In other news......
So my tablet threw another tantrum so I was without a tablet for a couple weeks. BUT thanks toarckra I now have a new pen and it turns out that was the problem all along!! It works like brand new now ^__^. But I almost feel like I've started to outgrow my little wacom graphire and am itching to upgrade to something bigger and badder..thinking an intous3 6x8(I have a Graphire4x6 right now). Anyone know of a good place to get em cheap? I don't think I can do it right away but I'm setting aside what I can for the new one *purr*. Thank you again Arckra *SHNUGS TIGHT*
Now on to arts. I have a few sideprojects I'm working on while working on my own stuff and commissions
so here are some of the stuffs!
Let's get business out of the way, my todo list
Commissions still owed:
1. Mendo : prelim sketch started :)
2. Wesha badge: finishing touches
3. Henrieke_kiki: (may redo..not sure if im happy with the first badge)
Giftart owed:
1. Kenket/Gatcat :) (sketch in prelim stage)
2. Graelin (sketch done)
3. and a buncha others who won't know until the art is done!..hopefully o_o;
If there are other folks I still owe work to but somehow overlooked in this list, let me know..chances are I have you in my que but just overlooked your name somehow o___o
To all those that have been waiting to have stuffs mailed, I've had to work around the schedules of others to have access to a car so getting to the post office has been tricky. But I have them all packaged and ready to be sent. Again sorry for the delay folks :), they should go out this coming week!
Also, I may take some smallll workeable commissions relatively soon because I need the money badly. I don't want to take big commissions until I get the bigger ones or the overdue ones finished or at the very least started.(if there is interest in chibi badges, I'll take some of those, icons, and small things like that!) I shall announce when I'm taking comms in my next journal :).

Date: 2006-08-12 06:37 pm (UTC)As for a tablet, I just recently upgraded to a Graphire4 (6x8). I think Dell.com was having a promotion recently, but I'm not sure if it ended or not.

Date: 2006-08-12 08:12 pm (UTC)XBLFLJFLEMUR! I NEED that fella on a T-shirt or something! It's so cute... and plushy!
Just a question... Did you give him four toes and 'cat ears' on purpose? Or is it artistic freedom? (ahem, my lemurs aren't very realistic anyway) People often think lemurs have ears like cats, because the ears look triangular from a distance. But they actually have black ears, shaped like a cross between human- and mouse-ears. The front is hairless so black, and the back is covered with long white hairs. You probably already knew it, but if you are interested, I can look up some pics in my *database* where you can see the ears well. I have been studying the lemurs' anatomy for two years now, and there are lots of interesting details you can't see on first sight.
Sorry for my rambling, but I visited Kiki in Budapest last week and I can't stop talking about her :D
Oh and about the commission, take your time, as I've said. (but I have to say that I'm VERY curious!)

Date: 2006-08-12 08:30 pm (UTC)If you're taking icon commissions, I'm so down, assuming the line hasn't quickly ballooned out of all reasonability. I'm thinking grumpy or sarcastic, your choice on anthro-ness and chibi-ness. Or a sleepy leopard, anthro or no. Pick one or both. And no trickses either, lest I'm forced to be tricksy too. ;P

Date: 2006-08-12 08:43 pm (UTC)Really love the wip sketches as well. Speaking of which I need to see about getting the one you made for me from you (still love it).
I will have to keep an eye out for when you open for these upcoming commissions as I am very interested XD. Oh and did you want a saber along lines of the one I made Nanook? As I want to start making more soon and I know you were eying it >:3 hehe.
