Absent art

This is pretty much all of the art I've been able to manage since I've been gone. It's telling that a good chunk of it has been in the last few weeks. Transformers OCs


My Sauricons in one big snooze pile. Wanted a group picture and this is what came of it.



Torpedo; after some sort of failed landing or something.



Anchor is one of several tugboats in a whole fleet of Decepticon boats and ships I have in my head. In trying to stick to just how powerful tugboats really are, just look at them move giant ships in a harbor and that's without Cybertronian tech, I ended up making her one of my strongest Transformers OCs ever.

Mythology



A giraffe centaur concept.



A tapir centaur concept.


Concept work of Itzpapalotl in her deer form.

Magi Nation stuff



The above was done for the hurt comfort bingo challenge community from last year. The prompt was for septicema and infected wounds. There's a supporting story to go with it that explains how Fossik got injured as well as the comfort gained from the crystal jile's actions. It's technically finished and can be read as a full story, but looking back... it needs some polishing before I'd feel comfortable posting it.



Not a canon creature. It's a redesign of someone else's aquatic warlum for a fan expansion pack of the original card game. It's missing a background.

Miscelaneous



Marina, an Eastern Red Bat, from the book Silverwing. Saw one too many pictures of the official cartoon version of her and had to take out the human elements, like the head of hair and standing upright, while still making her appealing and simplistic enough to have that animated feel.



A triceratops as if it were in my Fossil Fuel story verse. Discovered I could give the dinosaurs more individuality in the verse if I had them missing bones, which considering how rare it is to have a complete skeleton, makes sense in the context of the story. Where the actual fossil remains are relevant to where and how any particular extinct animal shows up. This one's missing a jaw.



Got inspired by some of peanutchan's insect and arthropod folk on deviantArt a way back. This one is a mole cricket, but I had to keep more of the insect in her design than what I had been inspired by.



And a sauropod, likely a Camarasaurus, having tea and a discussion with some sort of small theropod.
(Also, what's with the new posting set up? It's not very photobucket picture friendly. Or just posting friendly, it keeps messing everything up. I would be screwed if I didn't know some basic html.)

supposedly LJ "new and improved" the rich text editor, but it's borked everything up. :/ btw, your LJ cut hides nothing.

*rolls in all the lovely art*

Oh for the love of- *goes back and fixes the cut again for the nth time* New and improved my foot, let's see if I can save some f-lists now.

*mitigates the LJ ire by basking in the art appreciation*

I love that picture of the triceratops. And Itzpapoltl? Yay for South American mythology. (Had to go look her up, but it's soooo nice to see non-Greek/Roman/European-in-general mythos). The way the sauropod is looming over the theropod is almost like he's lecturing the little guy. It's so cute.

It's good to see your drawings again.

Don't normally draw the popular dinosaurs, if only because I like working with others that don't get a lot of attention. But this one begged to be drawn.

Itzpapoltl is Mesoamerican though, but I completely agree with you. There's too much of a Greek/Roman/Norse focus out there. And that reminds me, forgot to put my myth tag up. (I've got lots of non-European focused stuff) Also, you had to look her up? Did the link I put up not work? *is now paranoid about LJ*

It does look like it's lecturing the theropod doesn't it. When I work on it again I'll have to make sure that the friendly debate/arguing I was going for comes off more clearly. Or at least make the smile easier to see.

Thank you.

I like seeing attention paid to the unknown and rarely seen things. Mythology, Paleontology, Zoology. (I was ecstatic when I first found an artist handling aye-ayes).

The link might have been there and I could have totally missed it. definitely see it now! it would so be a me thing to do. I'm gonna go search your tag now, cause I luz the mythologies. (Even though I'm hardly an expert in them)

I thought it worked between the theropod and camarasaurus. Though I a curious about what theropod you had in mind....

An artist actually got to handle some aye-ayes? *is jealous* Those things are awesome. But yeah, it's sort of my standing policy to give attention to things that don't get a whole lot of love. ...and I now have the urge to draw an aye-aye and an Epidendrosaurus meeting each other.

Ah okay, was a bit concerned seeing as LJ is giving me problems now in posting. Somewhere way back when, I posted a list of mythological critters that I planned on drawing. It's nowhere near finished, at all, but I'm thinking of polishing it off to get back in the swing of things.

It was going to be a dromeosaur of some kind, but I just might make it a Herrerasaurus instead. They're another one of my favorites. (And yet, over two decades of dinosaur love has not been able to whittle down all the species into a favorite favorite of mine. They're all too awesome for me to pick just one.)
