Concept Art :: Silly Rivalries (and misc. WIPs)

Nothing major this time around except three of the lead characters looking disgruntled in front of a MASH-like backdrop. This was quick and once I scanned/tinted the whole thing I realized I hadn't even added in Tony (left) or Jody's (center) markings. I might repost this in the near future with more accurate depictions of those, especially since they're all looking a bit more elfish than I want them to.


The other two pieces are 'true' WIPs in that I have yet to finish them. One is modifying the look of more 'feral' hybrids, this time a cat of some kind. I just keep her sans-markings, but I'll probably do some variations on her once I get the watercolors done and can port it into Photoshop.

The third is a piece I'm working on for a friend of mine of his character Lucy. Since the mode of dress is so unbelievably complex, it's been slow-going. But, so far, I like the prototype. I need to add longer hair, give it a bit more curl and generally fix some of the anatomy errors, but aside from that it's actually going somewhere.

Conceptual :: Three Doodles

I'm not sure what to say about these. They're a lot of character attempts-- some of them are named, some aren't. The primary reason for a lot of them is to do more practice on drawing humanoid critters. I'll post something more interesting eventually-- like stuff I consider actual art pieces as opposed to just conceptual stuff.

The pigman I'm pretty happy with. Save for the fact that I keep hearing Kramer shouting PIGMAN! IT'S A PIGMAN! whenever I look at it.

The jaguar mechanic girl looks too much like a standard furry but I think that's a fault of the tail and markings. I've got a lot of ideas on how to modify the design. Reducing the fur and turning the markings into skin pigments; getting rid of or modifying the tail, etc etc. One staple I'm aiming to keep is the digitigrade legs, so this'll be an interesting, er... conceptual journey? Yeah, let's go with that. In any event, one other thing I wanna do is make her a little heftier. As if she actually, you know, eats.

So the last image is yet MORE attempts at drawing humanoid 'canid' heads (save one, which is a doodle of the jaguar girl seen above). Since I intend on making a kind of 'species gradient' (for a variety of reasons-- I'll get to that eventually) where there's a variety of physical appearances for any given hybrid species. I wanted to practice on the more human-appearing variety but I wanted to do some permutations, too. So it occured to me that having a kind of ... monkey-looking one with a weird tilt to the muzzle would actually be an interesting idea.

In other news, I've been watching way too much about Jonestown. Kool-aid jokes need not apply. This shit is invading my DREAMS, man.

Character Concept :: Fiona

Still experimenting with making canines retain their, er... canineness? while still looking relatably human. The only fur on her so far is just the tail, but I'm not sure I'll be keeping that (her head design may make the lack of a tail look awkward?) I'm experimenting. I like her face a lot, I just need to dick with the proportions a little. I'll probably reprint this on the same page and take another stab at it.

Recent outage due to a spat of horrible ickfucknastybody stupidity. I'm getting better, thankfully.
