Currently Working On:
  • Zhevra Pony for Nefretiti
Didn't want to necro my old thread. Sup.

This is better if you listen to cool music while you browse.

I do most of my art with a mechanical pencil/ink pens/rarely a trusty, extremely old felt tip on shoddy paper, then scan it in and color it with a tablet half as old as I am. I use GIMP for my scanned pictures as I'm too cheap for Photoshop. Occasionally I decide to just whip something up digitally - that is normally using paint, and you can tell. :) I've been drawing since I was eight, so have about ten years of experience sucking and then sucking a little less. I'm still learning, so I hope I don't put anyone through anything too terrible.

I do take requests, and I love love love art trades because my muse/OC/main looooves to have attention lavished on her. I'd say I'm taking commissions for in-game gold to help get to my Mechano-Hog goal of roughly 16k, but I have no idea how you'd get the money to Moon Guard without grinding it all out again. So if you want to commission me, make a request and I'll just pretend you're paying me. :P

99% of these will be colored soon! I just wanted to share them before I butcher them. :)

Image
Veeka and Umbergore aren't winning the frisbee competition anytime soon, but I don't think they mind. A summery pic drawn up in winter - hah!

Image
Dat ass.

Image
A proposed design for 'comic Veeka'. She and her mate, child, and bazillion 'pets' are done up in a sort of alternate universe Azeroth - it's much like the real world today, although the two mostly just laze around and play video games all day. It's just a way for my friend and I to comment on things, laugh at stuff that happened to us and burn off some silliness that would otherwise be seen as OOC in normal Azeroth. Veeka works as a cashier at a 'novelty toy store'(yes, that kind) and is vastly more into 'indie' games than her mate. Her hobbies include lurking 4chan(oh god my muse is a /b/tard) and playing the everloving heck out of Katamari Damacy. Different style here - her shirt is a mashup of the mudkip and 'deal with it' memes respectively.

Image
Terrorpene. Actually inspired me to camp for the silly thing.

Image
Madexx, sans pincers! Won't be finished sadly, the lack of important body parts in this makes it hard to not hate.


AND NOW, a dip into my older work that I'm sort of embarrassed to share! Watch your step, ladies and gents.

Image
This is Petopia. if you don't recognize this skin, I am going to be sad. SAD.

OH MY GOD NUDITY WARNING.
Veeka way back in the day. She now knows better than to wear mismatched socks. Also, her anatomy isn't wonky and her horns are in the right place. Man I want that couch. This will be redone soonish! I really like it. D:

Image
Take a closer look! No clothes, but nothing shows. THE FIRST EVER picture of Veeka. Oh my god this is oooooold. Brown hair, earrings, lack of freckles...amusingly enough, her clothing hasn't really changed over the years. I wish I remember who made this base.

Image
Something from '09! Admittedly I like how smooth and polished this is, even if the design is a little wtf-inducing.

Image
I miss drawing stuff like this.

Image
Horses. All I ever drew was horses.

Image
Emo horses. (I still love this one.)

Image
And the occasional dragon!

Image
Tribal horses.

Image
Flaming horses.

Image
Stick-legged aqua-horses.

Image
Evil dogs.

Image
Evil(dragon) horses.

Image
Back in the day, my friend's Venomhide Ravasaur had a bit of a thing for my Sewer Beast, Scuppers. No matter how hard she tried to avoid him, he found ways to show up in the worst places.

Image
Okay, last one for now! From left to right, Vince the Vargul Blighthound, Scuppers the Sewer Beast, and Fifi the Scarlet Tracking Hound. The ones 'forgotten' are Omen the White Eagle, Shoggoth the Hunched Black Leopard, and goat(with a lowercase g) the White War Talbuk.

More to come, but in the meantime thanks for taking a look. :) Sorry if I melted your eyes.

Uhm. I can do art trades as well (One person draws one thing for the other person, and vice versa, yeah? >.>;) Not sure if you'd -want- anything from me, but...uh...I can draw dragons. Yeah. Dragons. Rawr.

...

I like your art. Your humanoid drawing skill makes me jealous. *quietly shuffles off.*

AAAGH I typed up an entire reply earlier this morning, finished it and went to send it only to see I was logged out. /fume

Thank you so much for all of the comments, guys! I didn't think I would drum up this much interest in my silly doodles. :o Most of the horses(and evil dogs) are from when I played Neopets. I eventually quit when people started implying that slapping stripes on a red dog made them 'original' and every other red dog with stripes = obviously stolen.

To those of you interested in trades: I dunno how many I can take on at once, so I'm going to do something a little different. Let me know here(or via PM) what you want done, and I'll stick 'em all on a list and pick the ones to do in a random order. I'll try not to keep anyone hanging for too terribly long.

Some things to note when you tell me what you want: Do you want it colored, or inked, or just a sketch? Just flat colors, or shading? Do you want me to draw it digitally, or on paper(I can't guarantee the quality of digital lineart stuff. I'm out of practice.)? If you don't care either way, I'm going to assume you want a paper-and-pencil sketch. You might get colors if I really like the picture. ;P

Umm, other than that...I don't draw porn(that I post on forums *cough*). Everything else = fair game.

Oh and yeah, that's why WoW commissions are so impractical. :( I don't like using the official forums to do my work(everyone there is a jaded snarkface, much like myself) but I realize not everyone here plays on Moon Guard US or...um...US realms at all. And it isn't really fair to say "K I'm going to paint a picture with the works: background, five characters, super detailed etc." and then tell you to go grind out 5k* with MG's wonky economy.

*not that 5k is an accurate price for 'the works', anyway. With commissions I tend to be so cheap no one buys them - I've decided to settle on a 'pay what you feel it's worth' or 'prices change based on difficulty and quality of the art' plan so people actually commission me in the first place.
