life amongst the hippies

something I made for the woot derby.

Victor's Beaver

Yep, FIRST, before the giant hulking Abby Normal, he tried it on a few smaller fellas.

I wonder if he could dance to Puttin' on the Ritz?

Fat Crow on a tiny branch

Poor guy been munching a leetle too much corn.

Were-Deer, or Deer-Wolf.

Not sure which this is, but I like him, and the tree-stump. moon needs some detail.I think he needs to be a little more vertical, and with a little more clearance over the tree. tree is pretty great, too.

Hero. for the Goodjoe offline YMCA shirt contest.

I drew this a few days ago, and tweaked it yesterday for submission to the GoodJoe offline YMCA Northeast T-shirt contest.

Foxes at Fire, Fire with Foxes, not quite sure

I started this project about a year ago, and shelved it until a few days ago. I'd been involved in a derby in which a fox was drawn with these long stripey lines, allegedly pointillism. Anyway, regardless, it got me thinin about drawing a fox where it was only drawn via the fur. Eventually I put in reflections on the eyes and light on the noses, so it wasn't just the fur. I always wanted them to be in front of a fire, and so that was the focus of my past day or so.
I'm not satisfied yet, what I want this to look like is that the foxes are curled up together behind the fire, and they are visible from the light on their fur and reflected from their eyes. Consequently, the brightest light is going to be at the closest portions of the foxes,a nd the farther back parts will be in shadow and darker. This is also true that the farther back portion will be darker. So I have to fiddle with it some more before I'm happy. I am pleased by the fire itself, and by the foes, just need some tweaking of the brightness of the foxes.

However they do, I'm pleased that I managed to complete the two designs enough to submit them. :^)

more to come.

oh, and a bit of fun:

This bunny rider inexplicably has forgotten his reins- I'll have to fix that.
