Latest News (August 21st): I've finished a short adventure game in Flash. If you like big cats, witty dialogue and humourous sci-fi, chances are you'll like Area 50.5.

My three little zebras again, along with three pictures of them from the original story they starred in that I created 15 years ago.

Hmm...the direction the trio is heading plus Zig's complex design pulls my eyes over to the left side of the image and makes it a bit unbalanced. Oh well.

I've had this idea for several years ever since I first read The Golden Compass, but never got around to drawing it. Now with the movie coming out, I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to draw Serafina meeting Sarafina.

(By the way: does it ever say what color Serafina's hair is in the trilogy? I was too lazy to search them to find out for myself.)

I was going through and resorting my 1.2 gigabytes of TLK fanart, and I took a look in my "Unfinished" folder.

Ick. But some of the aptly sorted unfinished art seemed fairly decent, so, inspired by Timali's unfinished art collages, I cobbled together two large images depicting pictures I never got around to completing or uploading from the past seven years.

This one is mostly Vidole, with a few birds and some original characters, as well as some canon squiggles filling in the gaps between the pictures.

More Sketcher sketches (incidentally, nobody guessed le bird). Bug, egret, rock, tree, cheetah, Xandra and Jack.

I've had a horrible Internet connection for the last month or so, and after clearing it up by uninstalling a program that wasn't as beneficial as I thought it was (let's just say that McAfee AntiVirus isn't all it's cracked up to be), I was surprised to find that my connection was still failing occasionally.

After several tests, I determined that if I stay on Sketcher too long, my Internet connection dies. I have no idea why; I just know that Sketcher is somehow jinxing my connection. Ah well...

This latest translated comic with yet another lion cub with a fun, yet slightly odd design inspired me to draw this picture of Vidole and Kigeni examining a variety of cubs with similar design oddities, mostly from comics.

Kigeni's unvoiced dialogue: "Did it suddenly get ironic in here, or is it just me?"

EDIT: Fixed hyperlink. Something seems wrong with this site's HTML. Half of the tags suddenly don't work anymore.

An end-of-year special, as well as a sign that I have overstayed my welcome here: A record of every request, art trade, or non-spontaneous picture drawn at the request of TLKFAA members for the past 6 years (plus, pictures of Tanabi and Vidole to show how how my art has evolved, plus a grab bag of characters).

The non-uploaded stuff was either not to my liking, off-topic, or just plain forgotten. I wonder if I should create a Photobucket account for my old, never-before-seen stuff…

I was reading the comments on one of Kereska's pictures of Esteban, and somebody said that his design looked like it was inspired by an oryx. I, in turn, was inspired to draw a lioness with gemsbok markings, and since I was on a roll, I drew a lion with greater kudu markings as well.

I'm sorry if somebody has already drawn something like this. I had no intention of copying.

I also couldn't decide whether to put this picture in my TLK or my V+K folder, so I guess it will have to stay here, in the Main Folder.

Back in the 80's, Hasbro (creators of "My Little Pony") came out with a small menagerie of animals dubbed Pony Friends, among which was a lion named Kingsley.

Hasbro said Kingsley was a girl, even though s/he had a mane. S/he also had a tail that looked much more like a horse's than a lion's.

In light of this, I'd say Kingsley has a good reason to be distraught.

When I first started playing Space Quest a few years ago, in my youthful folly I was compelled to draw the series' protagonist, Roger Wilco, as an anthro lion not once, but multiple times.

Since my skills as an artist have improved since then, I've decided to draw "lionized" Roger one last time, accompanied by a collage of my drawings of him.
