This commission was a BLAST to do!

NewEnglander's "not so tiny" were-reindeer character, Theresa, does Santa's dirty work. She's very buff because she will be pulling Santa's sleigh this year... and working on Santa's naughty list is the perfect job for her because her regular job for the other 364 days of the year isn't so nice.

Lots of cute details and subtle humor went into this piece. Kudos to you if you actually know where the words "Space Mutiny" comes from.

I went with an "Old World" Santa rather then the overcommercialized "Madison Avenue" Santa that you see in malls and on Coca-Cola cans because I like them better... and NewEnglander seemed to agree.

Quite a few things going on in my life, actually. One of the most important things is that I'm starting to get serious about saving up for a new bird since I've always wanted a big parrot. I'm between a few species. Blue and Golds have always been my dream bird... their temprament would match perfectly with what I want in a bird... and their very pretty. However, they're HUGE! If I move into an apartment or condo I may not have room for one. Plus I'd have to buy a new cage to fit such a big bird.

Other species I've been considering are the Umbrella cockatoo or the african grey. It would depend on if I decide I'd rather have a bird that wants to cuddle or a bird that talks well. Both of those would be a size that I could manage easier... and they could fit in my quaker's old cage.

I dunno. I'm gonna have to put a lot of thought into my next bird. It will probably be a bit before I save enough to buy one, so I'll have plenty of time to think.

But anyways... new arts. This was done for Kabaryu VIA the Character Shuffle.

For Ouka... my chosen one for this month's Anthro Sketch Xchange. His character, Ouka in both wood elf and owl bear forms.

I know I said I was cutting down on the amount of xchange commities I participate in each month... but the Anthro Sketch Xchange, Character shuffle, and possibly the Gryphon Xchange I am still pretty much guaranteeing that I'll be participating in every month.

Effin finally! Got this done! It's posted a little later then I normally like my annual Halloween pic to be... but this has been the month from helllllll!
Admittedly, I did have to rush a few parts... but I wanted to get it done before tomorrow.

The characters are as follows from left to right:

Ran-Qui as Fox McCloud:
Well, the female version of Fox anyways. I did take a little bit of creative license on his uniform to make it more flattering to the female form.

Ulario as Lady Death:
All too late I remembered that earlier this year I had plans to dress her as Lara Croft for my halloween pic this year. D'oh!

Aredon as Professor Chaos:
Butter's supervillain alter ego from South Park. This specific version of Prof. Chaos was taken from the first episode form season 8 titled "Good Times With Weapons".

Happy Halloween to you all!

Gift art is one thing... I'm willing to do occassional gift art for anyone I consider to be a close friend. However, a sure fire way to tell that you're special to me is if I base a character in my fictional universe off of you.

My friend, Azarus has become more like a big brother to me. Heck, I've talked to him about things that I would NEVER talk about with my real brother. So I decided to give him my ultimate honor of creating a character out of him.

Az and I somewhat collaberated on this character's design. The end result is AJ here. (AJ's full name is Azail Jen).

A little about AJ:
He's an Ultimarian mercenary. He has a lot of darkness inside of him, but he still tres to do the right thing. And, just like Az, he speaks with a sexeh French accent.
The face is someowhat based on Neo from the Matrix, since Az in RL looks like the Canadian version of Keanu Reeves.

The background is not outer space. It is infact, what the night sky on Ultimare would look like. Unfortunately, us earthlings are used to teh uber-boring night space around our planet so the night sky of another planet may seem unusual or intense to us. Ultimare is nestled inside of a blue nebula.

ClockWork Ghost's character, Ghost VIA the Character Shuffle. No relation to my boyfriend's alter ego, LoTekGhost. :p

This one was much fun! One of the themes that she suggested was "vintage pin ups" which I'm a big fan of. She also mentioned that her character often wears pinstripes... which I'm also a big fan of. The art nouveau-esqe background was my idea. I figured that I'd add one more thing that I absolutely love to the picture. XD
I'm very happy with how those things mixed together.

It may have ended up being a bit more suggestive then she wanted... but I'm happy with it nonetheless.

She also looks a bit like my character, Liah. Which is very cool.

So... Ghost and I went to see Clone Wars today.
I didn't really have much expectation for it, but since I'm a self proclaimed "Star Wars Freak" I had to go see it.

As much as I hate to say this... it did kinda suck.

It was pretty much all action with a cheesy and very unoriginal storyline tacked onto it. Some of the parts of the story could have been very good, but the way it was presented was total fail. The dialogue was corny and some of the character's voices were very annoying. In particular, I couldn't stand Zero the Hutt's voice. He sounded like a backwoods hillbilly.

Like the Clone Wars animated series, I HATED the animation style when I first saw it. However, Unlike the style of the series (which DID have a good storyline)... I did not grow into the movie's animation style. I still don't like the animation for this movie and I don't think I ever will.

George Lucas just dosen't seem to give a fuck about lore anymore.

But enough of my rantings... onto arts:

I admit that I don't have much interest in having uber-close friendships with people I meet online, but Azarus would definately be an exception. We've been good friends since my early days of playing Matrix Online several years back. We both sort of migrated back to playing Star Wars galaxies around the same time.

Earlier this year (April, I think) he contracted a case of "Mono on Steroids", which he still hasn't fully recovered from. I did this picture of his Dark Jedi character as sort of a "get well present". He was originally going to be fighting a Krayyt dragon, but I couldnt fit one in the picture... so it's three blistmoks instead.

Some of the textures used were from CG textures.com
For reference, I used screenshots of his character that I secretly took while we were hunting Krayyts the other night.
He hasn't seen it, yet so I hope he likes it.
