Way Past Cool

So this is kinda late, but its my 20th anniversary Sonic picture. For me, it all started with Sonic Adventure on dreamcast in christmas 1999. I had watched SatAM when i was little but i was around 3 or 4 when i watched it. So Sonic Adventure really started my sonic love.

I wanted to incorporate all my favorite parts from the best Sonic games, Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2. I worked way too long on this, its filled with sonic passion. I had to look up an excessive amount of reference, those jets are even referenced from SA2. I learned a lot in this piece, as almost everything here i had never tried to draw or paint before, with the exception of sonic.

This is my end all, be all sonic illustration, i probably wont paint sonic again for quite a long time. I hope you guys thoroughly enjoy this, as im quite fond of it myself.

Phew he´s finally done my Lamborghini LP670-4 Superveloce. I forgot how difficult it was to draw cars. It´s REALLY difficult. And including this bastard of background didn´t made it easier for me.

The size is A2 again but the drawing fills not the entire paper. All done with regular and mechanical graphite pencils. Total time of this piece approx. three weeks.

And here some background informations about the car and Lamborghini itself:

The Lamborghini LP 670-4 SuperVeloce (eng. Super Fast) based on the original design of the Murcielago. It was a limited production of only 350 pieces. It was the fastest Lamborghini ever build. Now it is the Aventador . He has a maximum power of 670 hp and a max. speed of approx. 340 km/h or 227 mph.

Lamborghini produces Supersportcars since 1964. Lamborghini was founded by Ferruccio Lamborghini in 1948 in Italy and produced only tractors in this time. The famous brand logo is the well known bull.

So that was a bit behind the car stuff for you. I hope you guys like it as well as my drawing.

PS: I´ve changed a bit the license plate .

EDIT: Thanks so much for the DD! The contest is over now btw and I was one of the winners, yay! (More info here [link] )
Thank you for all the favs& comments

I finished this a couple of days ago for the Art Evolution Challenge over at ArtOrder.
Participants were asked to paint Lyssa, "A young female human wizard with black hair who always wears white trimmed in gold."

My idea for Lyssa is a somewhat Tibetan-inspired shaman. She mainly uses her powers to protect nature and wildlife and summons animal spirits to aid her.

The entries are going to be judged sometime soon, so wish me luck <3

This is a drawing I did of a live model named Jessica. I don't remember her last name but she was wonderful. She never moved. Very beautiful girl.

I have a pretty big scanner so I was disappointed when it did all fit. I scanned the parts that didn't fit in the initial scan and combined them and then tried to fix where they met. The colors were a little different in the two scans.

This was one of her two favorites I drew of her. The other was

My entry for the 2012 Anthro Calendar~ The mythical animal that I chose was the tanuki of Japanese folklore

"The legendary tanuki is reputed to be mischievous and jolly, a master of disguise and shapeshifting, but somewhat gullible and absent-minded." Wikipedia

They're a really interesting bunch, and the Japanese have some equally interesting ways of portraying certain parts of their anatomy ~~(which I chose to omit for obvious reasons, LOL).~~

For those interested in purchasing a copy of the calendar, pre-orders are now open, and there's an early-bird discount until the 30th ($20 + $2.50/8.00 shipping depending on if you're an Australian resident or International). At the very least, be sure to check out the other artists' entries (the above link should have everyone's gallery)! ;D

Yes, my friends. More naked anthro art.
You really shouldn't be surprised by now.

Finally got around to inking a sketch of Strip, ~strawpony's character. I like how clean it came out. Please excuse the dodgy shadows. I was actually trying out a slightly different style of drawing.

Back to work!

Better Days

Sat, 06 Nov 2010 10:23:47 PDT

(Title is random... just the Goo Goo Dolls song I'm listening to at the moment, and I didn't just want to name it 'Aeryn'. I'm so lame.)

Aeryn for ~strawpony. Subject to change as it hasn't been approved yet, but I've been working my ass off all night on it and I wanted to post it.

Be gentle, my backgrounds are lame, yeah, yeah... I know... but I did what I could.

I like how it turned out... the feel of it, at least. It's supposed to portray her softer side as she is a rather (from what Strop has told me) jaded character. I figured that first thing in the morning, everybody looks vulnerable.

Fire, Tires, and Poverty

Fri, 09 Jan 2004 19:13:27 PST

By Vincent T Joachim
Website: [link]

In March 1999, gas prices doubled in Ecuador and mass protest erupted throughout the country as a result. The citizens employed a successful protest technique by digging trenches in the road and lighting tires on fire. It brought the countries economy to a standstill and the govenment was forced to compromise.

This scene shows street kids in the middle of the chaos.

Lover's Talk

painter IX, pencil

something about love and understanding

actually it's also about the red line.
In the Fairytales, Everyone is bound to his/her destined lover by a thin red line on their little fingers by the old man under the moon("Yuelao", not sure about the english translation....). So no matter how far they are they can finally find each other.

But who knows. The red line is really thin, you can always cut it with a little sciessor.

The Cosmic Odyssey

Mon, 10 May 2010 04:41:11 PDT

The planet Psi was found suitable for colonization when it was discovered by people in 2256. After they had sent the expedition escorted by the Federations fleet, it was clear that the planet wasnt adapted for this purpose. The only possible things that they could take were the useful organic substances, which atmosphere. Few years later specialized space ships were constructed to collect these substances. So they were escorted to the Planet by the Federations fighters.

Chainsmoke: Ohlie Day p01

NEXT PAGE: [link]
ARCHIVE: [link]

Oh me and my color comics.

So here's the first page of a self-contained one-shot for my Chainsmoke story. It's a pretty silly idea that I've had sitting around for a while, but I thought it'd be a good one to kick things off. I'll be uploading a new page every Tuesday until this story is finished and it will be available for you to buy afterwards (with added extras that I'm not putting on the net of course so that it's actually worth buying) which is highly encouraged.

This page was my refresher on perspective --- spent a lot of time trying to get it all to mostly make sense while still making something at least somewhat visually interesting. I hope to get more creative with this stuff as the story progresses since there are a lot of things I could have done here to make it more playful than it is. But live and learn right?

Also, before I get into minimal descriptions for the next 24-ish pages, I want to give a thanks and shout-out to *Zorgia whose sage advice and comic experience is helping me out a LOT with this and other comic related things (not-so-subliminal message: READ WYLIMAN), and my friend ~DougDougmann is also updating Tuesdays with his comic The Life and Times of Earl Grey! So go check it out! You will not regret it! : )

Anyway, enough babbling from me. I hate long descriptions. New page coming next Tuesday and I hope you enjoy the story!

I decided on a Jungle cat....

For each style of boxing that would determine tha kind. A slick welterweight (Big Ups to Money Mayweather doggin' Shane's ass) I would picture a mid size, and for a flamboyant one I would say a Black Panther. Maybe I'll make a heavyweight that's a tiger or a Lion with dreads.....yeaa......a lion wit dreads....

PTMC Incident

Sat, 19 Dec 2009 13:38:59 PST

some more retro :> continued on the leap piece. i'm enjoying my first free days since ages (at least that's how it feels). just bumming arround and paint

does anyone still remember the pc game 'descent'? [link]
one of the first games i've ever had- i loved it! more than a decade later i rediscovered it and actually understood the story... my english wasn't that good when i was 12 lol
anyhow, the post-terran-mining coorporation PTMC runs mines across the solar system. someday, later refered to "the PTMC-Incident", the mining robots are assimilated by an alien virus, going beserk. they kill the miners or take them hostage, and taking over the control. (the player is then sent into the mines, to kill the robots, rescue hostages and destroy every mine in the solar system.)

so he is one of the miners, right after the PTMC-incident on mars. he's lucky and isn't caught by the robots. armed with his drill and his mininglaser, he tries to reach the cargo-ships, which haven't been taken over yet. he's gotta hurry, they'll be leaving soon!

did not believe me when I said I could draw a sexy Strop, so... of course I had to prove him wrong.

Four hours and many frustrations later this was done.
I am not sure if I achieved it, but he seems to think so, and FA does the same, so I will go with them.
One of my better works, I think, and one of those I didn't get all depressed about when people said something was wrong, so... Great new step for me.

No, I have no real explanation other than Strop/ and I was talking about the WoM, then accidentally started talking about birthdays (that happens), because while I am really trying to forget my birthday (too much trouble), Strop was a bit sad no one congratulated him on his, because, as ninja as he is, no one really know anything about him, and this affects congratulations.
So, I think I decided to make him a birthday present in advance/a belated birthday present.
Yes...
And fixed stuff that Strop told me to fix, so hopefully he will be okay with me posting it.
Also, hoping he will get better soon.
