The Cuteaceous Period by Shoom'lah

Mon, 27 Oct 2008 16:13:34 -0000

Wow, this has been a long time waiting in being uploaded- these were designed as licensable characters for the risd student art sale back in October. From left to right: Kentrosaurus, Stygimoloch, Styracosaurus, Allosaurus, Camarasaurus, and Oviraptor. I tried to choose slightly more interesting dinoaurs than the usual fare seen on kids' merchandise (much as I love Stegos and Tyrannosaurs)... Yeah, I know Allosaurs aren't particularly obscure, but I like 'em. More of this to come in the future.

Awkward by Shoom'lah

Thu, 09 Nov 2006 00:08:18 -0000

Our first assignment in Illustration II this semester was to illustrate a single word, and to do it in a way so that it wasn't blatant nor achingly subtle. The word crocodiles kept cycling through my head- not as the word to illustrate, but as the subject matter- and so I chose "awkward" as my word and came up with the idea of a crocodile businessman bring home a wildebeest friend from work only to find his wife preparing exactly that for dinner. Heh. Awkward.

Lackadaisy Voodoo by Tracy Butler

Tue, 14 Nov 2006 08:19:10 -0000

Mordecai, Serafine and Nico. I hadn't done any proper color work with this group yet, so I decided to do a little poster-style illustration involving the three of them. That's not Serafine's usual getup - I suppose she can't pass up the opportunity to get dolled up for a special occasion, though. She's dressed as her personal version of a Voodoo mambo. The image was sketched in pencil and painted with a tablet and Photoshop.

Hanging On 40th Anniv. by DesertCoyote

Mon, 06 Nov 2006 21:17:06 -0000

I draw a weekly comic strip for the newspaper I work at, called "Hanging On". It's set near the Grand Canyon in Arizona. For this new comic, I took two older characters of mine, Yipper Coyote and Angelica Jay (from my older comic "Out of Oakwood Forest"), and introduced them to a new cast of characters. I did this combination traditional/digital media painting for a special section in the paper which reprinted the first 40 comic strips all at once.

Medium: Mixed (watercolor,pen,pencil, computer).

WYWH (March) - Rhodesian Ridgeback by Synnabar

Tue, 10 Oct 2006 19:39:31 -0000

Here's my piece for the Wish You Were Here Calendar Project (http://coyote-tangent.com/wywh/index.htm) I was asked to do the Rhodesian Ridgeback, a large dog well-known for the distinct ridge of hair that grows in the opposite direction of the rest of the fur on the back. They were often called "African Lion Hounds" as well - thus the lion with him. It's supposed to be glossy and like a vacation postcard, so of course the dog is dressed in his Zulu-inspired finest, and the lion is a bit "fluffy"; obviously, in real life, things are a lot less pretty. There will be a stamp in the upper right and a line of text along the bottom; I left the areas less-detailed there for that reason.
