Parapadescha, v.2. The lion/cheetah/tiger/leopard/sabretooth-cat, intellectual property of Britt Carlson. Jewelery inspired by design elements from India; I had much more fun with this version. Pencils/Photoshop. (BTW: still playing catch-up w/art & email :(; and with less free time than ever, I can't take any new requests etc. at the moment)

Parapadescha v.1. A lion/cheetah mix with tiger/leopard-like markings. All anatomy, markings, proportions, etc. per detailed description. I had a hard time getting the relatively bulky lion body to look right with the lithe cheetah form, and I wasn't happy with this outcome. Plus, it seems too "stubby". Thus, version 2.

Jarraka! For the character at the Silver Throne RPG (no, not mine). My very first pine marten (need more practice, I know :/). I especially enjoyed drawing the branch... Pencils/Photoshop

Wolfmage! The Final Version. I sweated this, I really did. I just really tried to get this to look *right* for him. All decorations/clothing and dragon-to-wolf proportions per description. Thank you all so much for your helpful comments; this pic is all the better for them. Mechanical pencil and Photoshop on cardstock (per my usual).

Nightmare IV, 1997, 2002. Originally done in black ballpoint RSVP pen, then given a fresh coat in Photoshop. I used to draw in this dense, twisted style a lot; but it's not "pretty", so I don't post many of them. This got a favorable response elsewhere, so... Admittedly odd anatomy. It was fun just pushing the pen around (and fun coloring it, too).
