This year though, I have many plans. Some of them even involve painting.

My old laptop is in pieces, and I have just unpacked a new monitor. The first monitor I have owned for, ouch, lots of years. But it is pre calibrated and built for arts!

And I am collaborating with other artists and writers on a cool book project.

As it's terribly easy to stick a horn on a white horse and call it a unicorn, this fantasy mainstay has suffered a huge drop in diversity. Where dragons go from strength to strength, developing new forms all the time as artists explore the possibilities, unicorns have become a bit rote, even... boring.  But dig a little deeper, and you'll find artists who embrace the older, pre-Hollywood unicorn, and even invent new species to marvel at.

Here's a little selection.

Does anyone know of any good Prismacolor tutorials? If you do, please send me the link!

Right, so I thought I'd draw a Hokkaido wolf, also known as the Ezo wolf, because the Japanese wolves got no votes at all on my poll But as usual I had no reference, and didn't even bother with a pencil rough on this one, just leapt right in with a pen! So his ears are too big and his legs are too long. But at least he's not stuffed with straw, so he's better off than any Ezo wolf in existence.

The Arctic Brontothere has nasal horns adapted for scraping snow away from buried vegetation, rather than fighting. The horns are bone, and triangular in cross section, as each lobe has a pointed ridge at its front, enabling the brontothere to use its horns to crack ice. Its skull and jaws are shorter and more robust than those of typical brontotheres in order to support stronger teeth and jaw muscles for grinding tough, frozen vegetation. It also has a thick, woolly coat to protect it from biting Arctic winds. ]]> Creature of the Week contest. This week it's Arctic Megaherbivores.

Reveley's Brachiator (Brachiatus revelii) shows the following adaptations to rainforest life:

Long, flexible jointed hindlimbs enable the creature to brachiate freely from branch to branch. Its forelimbs are reduced and used solely for feeding.

It feeds exclusively on the blooms of ramiflorous trees, and can travel great distances to find a tree whose branches are in flower.

Its eyes are prominent, with cross-shaped pupils that give it excellent motion-sensing in both the horizontal and vertical plane for detecting predators.

Bioluminescent photophores on its ventral surface for communication in the dim undercanopy.

A waxy cuticle protects it from the high humidity of the forest, while its green colouring and leaf-like body shape allows it to hide in plain sight. Its dorsal surface is slightly flared and veined and patterned like the surface of a leaf. Brachiators at rest tend to huddle together on a chosen branch like a spray of leaves. (Top left of the picture shows a group of brachiators at rest.)

It possesses a 'drip-tip' pseudotail to quickly shed rainwater during downpours.

Its brachiating limbs terminate in biramous graspers with sticky pads similar to the toes of a gecko; they can grip any climbing surface, even the slick trunks of glass trees.

About the size of a chinchilla, brachiators are inquisitive and peaceful creatures. They make surprisingly good pets, despite their slightly insectile appearance. ]]>

Reveley's Brachiator (Brachiatus revelii) shows the following adaptations to rainforest life:

Long, flexible jointed hindlimbs enable the creature to brachiate freely from branch to branch. Its forelimbs are reduced and used solely for feeding.

It feeds exclusively on the blooms of ramiflorous trees, and can travel great distances to find a tree whose branches are in flower.

Its eyes are prominent, with cross-shaped pupils that give it excellent motion-sensing in both the horizontal and vertical plane for detecting predators.

Bioluminescent photophores on its ventral surface for communication in the dim undercanopy.

A waxy cuticle protects it from the high humidity of the forest, while its green colouring and leaf-like body shape allows it to hide in plain sight. Its dorsal surface is slightly flared and veined and patterned like the surface of a leaf. Brachiators at rest tend to huddle together on a chosen branch like a spray of leaves. (Top left of the picture shows a group of brachiators at rest.)

What do dragons do on a rainy afternoon?

Where other dragons hoard gold, Zephiros prefers to hoard weapons and armour, and will happily babble endlessly about the merits of each of his treasures. He even has some pieces of draconic armour, which he spends hours dressing himself in. Octultus thinks the little dragon looks exceedingly silly wearing all that heavy armour, but he'd never say so. Besides, Zephiros always has plenty of tea and sweet biscuits for visitors, and his cave is roomy and dry. There are worse ways to spend a rainy afternoon.

I'm not sure what to think about it. On the one hand, it can be frustrating if you want feedback to help improve your work and nobody says anything. On the other hand, these people faved the work so it seems a pretty good bet that they liked it.  Why only ask for feedback from people who have already told you, without words, that they thought it was good? I'd want to hear from the others too - ]]> http://hareguizer.deviantart.com/art/White-Wolf-156628435 http://hareguizer.deviantart.com/art/White-Wolf-156628435 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 13:03:54 PST White Wolf nonadult digitalart/paintings/animals Hareguizer http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/h/a/hareguizer.png?4 Copyright 2010-2013 ~Hareguizer

Hmm, I'm struggling with the fur on this one. I can't seem to get the light and shade to balance. It looks fine zoomed in but when I switch it back to normal size it all goes weird. Help me out here! What am I missing? Please let me know so I can try to fix it.

Maybe I just need a decent sized monitor (I'm doing this on a laptop screen). ]]>

At the end of July I was involved in a traffic accident when a van drove into the back of our car. Nobody was seriously hurt, luckily, but the car was totalled and we have the usual mix of whiplash injuries, bruises and yoinked ligaments. Which would seriously curtail the artistic exploits of a normal deviant, but you may have noticed I've been in the creative doldrums for the past... er... year or two.

But no more!  I'm still a bit mangled but I seem to have managed to get over my artist's block, or whatever it was (b ]]>
