Month: January 2012

Someone once told me, years and years ago when Yerf was still around, that the only reason my art was worth anything was because I could use color. I made it a point after that to do a lot of art in nothing but ball-point pens.

I think it helped me in some ways, but now I don’t want to finish anything. 😛 

Xander! You should know by now that he is one of my very favorite characters. I loved playing him on Pokemorph MUSH. In fact, when I get back to roleplaying there (some day soon, I swear!), he will be one of the first – if not THE first – that I update/retool. 

Srsly, if I could, I would draw nothing but Xander, Conan, giraffes, and post-it note cats all day long.

The history of Gab the Meerkat! Gab has been my online avatar since 1997, back when I was involved in TLK-L and the lionking.org chatroom. She was very obviously influenced by my obsession with Timon. I don’t draw her nearly as much anymore, though. Clearly, this must be remedied. 

Why hello, my enthusiastic little admirers! Did you think that I forgot about you? Never! I have been on the road, but am now safe at here at FurCon with a surprise for you all!

I brought my entire art archive from 1997-2010 (2,000+ images) with me and have selected some goodies to periodically post (in groups!) while here at the convention… I think that 65 or so will do the trick until I return to normal posting schedule next Thursday. 

To start off, here are the badges that I drew at the last FurCon I attended in 2008.

In preparation for FurCon, I have been making a Conan AMV. … Wait, that doesn’t make any sense. Well whatever. What this means is that you get an old sketch of Hakuba. Mm Hakuba. Love you some angsty made-up backstory. 

…

Tomorrow I should probably pack.
