Of Course They'd Get Lost by Shoom'lah

...I mean, they only have three eyes between the two of them, and Sparky's are all wonky-like. Not that I don't love them. For our Illustration pet portrait assignment, I did the obvious choice and drew my two Boston Terriers, Sparky and the late Sam, exploring some undefined and unspeakably rugged mountain territory whilst decked out in full Inuit regalia. Props to Reagan Lodge for inspiring this way back when.

I did this little guy for AC'06. The reception he got surprised me-- but I'm glad everyone liked him! And so is he, apparently.

Come Back! by Lyosha

Stompy Owl, part deux. Also found a home at AC06! As one who recently force-fed an unhappy great-horned owl, I assure you, they are never this happy.

Sushi Cat by vantid

Wed, 08 Aug 2007 21:34:34 -0000

More cat, more sushi. Larger than life. Seriosuly, this thing, which will be done as soon as I get my new computer, is huge. The file is half a gig. Working 400 dpi was dumb, but at least I can make ginormous prints. This is the first piece that I have done almost exclusively in Photoshop.

Celtic Fox ring, finished by GrayWolf

Wed, 08 Nov 2006 18:57:03 -0000

A celtic fox ring design I did for a good friend of mine, Profox. The ring has been made in gold and white gold. The ring band is around and about 8mm high. The stone is blue sapphire. The ring consists of 5 pieces that have been put together. All I can say is that the jeweler did a awesome job on my design and I'm very proud!

Bright Eyes by Swandog

Tue, 07 Nov 2006 16:02:06 -0000

My submission to the "Symphonies in Fur Minor" Portfolio, in which my chosen song was "Bright Eyes" by Art Garfunkel (written by Mike Batt), from the Watership Down movie. Shown here is the rabbit deity triptych, with the Black Rabbit of Inlé patiently waiting to harvest the souls of the warren rabbits. The sun with the rabbit's eye is Frith, giving life and warmth to all creatures. The rabbit hero El-ahrairah is the star constellation, guarding and inspiring his beloved progeny. The dying rabbit is in a yin-yang symbol because it's hovering between life and death, light and darkness, like the sky surrounding the scene. The others are watchful of what they can see and hear, feeing relatively safe and content as long as they have each other, and fearful of the death and darkness they know they all must face. They ready themselves for that long journey and yet never lose hope or faith in life, which they will ever struggle to cling to.
