Anything Else

Man! I'm so pissed right now! I had this all finished and pretty then I went to open it up in Photoshop today to add some finishing touches and my computer tells me that the file is corrupted and some other crap. So that's that... an adoptable from Tornados on the TT I know it's off topic but I barely ever upload anything OT so there :P I doubt I'll get her but she's fun to draw. :)

Oy! I'm soooo sorry buddy... I took forever. This isn't what I originally was working on for you, I had this whole big idea and was working on it and then my computer decided to screw me over... lol so it was lost but it was gonna be great. However this turned out alright. Having to resize it killed all the neat detail the brush I made created but you can kind of see it. :) I hope you like it anyway and it was worth waiting awhile for. :D

New character! :D
Aint he cute? His name is Wesley, he's an African Pouched Rat. He's my other new character's... Rio, you'll meet him soon.... best friend. He's carefree, silly, goofy and a little nutso to be honest. Though he seems to be on his bestest behavior for this picture. :D
I know what your thinking, "Really? A small goofy best friend? How original... :rolls eyes:." And I say to you... yes. Every good character needs a silly comedic sidekick! ;P
His full ref sheet will be finished soon... to read up some more on him check out my OC section his bio will be up soon!

(Apex, I promise I'm working on our trade... it'll be finished shortly!)

:P Just a little break from an exhausting trade I'm working on. I spent way too much time on this XD. I thought the sloppy coloring and lineart added to the effect. (or maybe it's just hard work with a touch pad)Lol she came out alright for computer drawn... a tablet would make my life much easier... (did you hear that Santa?) XD I'm sleepy. Goodnight. :)

:P O.O I drew something other than a lion? And even more of a miracle I wasnt too lazy to scan it in and finish it?! And I colored the line art?! O.O Mark your calendars people... today is an epic day in history. I think if I would have shaded the world would have blown up XDD ;)

Timon! I love Timon! He can be a jerk but in the end he knows who he loves and stays loyal to them. :D
My first time drawing him :)

Misty Mountain Hop always makes me draw trippy stuff...

Reffed from: catnap informed me that the link doesnt work... so lets see if this will work... its a stock photo site so that might be the reason. :(

This was fun :D

Also I think Tigers might be OT seeing as they aren't really African animals... at least I don't think they are so if so just tell me and I'll be happy to take it down. :)

I think I'm falling in love with the smudge tool by the way ;)

I just thought this came out kinda neat because I was just messing around but eventually somehow my thoughts led me to my best friend. Well... maybe I should call her my ex best friend nowadays. While thinking of her I remembered the part of The Fox and The Hound when this song plays and it really hit me how much I miss her. It also made me realize why I keep letting her back into my life when all she does and let me down. Ugh sorry for the ventingness... I DO realize none of you know what I'm talking about don't worry. :P

Inspired by Majordomo and decided to move out of my comfort zone a little. This is the result. :XD: First digital background that I actually took time on and wasnt just a sky... :P

Entirely done with the Smudge tool in PS... plus default textures added in there :)

I'm happy with this... it's not the best but eh... whaddya gonna do?

I like this... for some reason it reminds me of Eelestella's work. Must have be subconsciously inspired but her also :D

Everyone seems to be doing this these days... :P I need help. I can't decide between those two color schemes. I'm leaning towards number 1 but too indecisive. Help me! :D

Oh and I don't know why I added all that other crap in there about her... maybe it'll help you, who knows. Plus I can just reuse this when I make her a ref :P

What the heck? My description and crap disappeared. Oh well... I don't feel like typing that all up again. I'll sumarize:
I hate my scanner, kills colors.
I am not very satisfied with this and don't know why I'm uploading it let alone submitting it for a contest.
First time drawing Zira. Hardly ever draw Nuka even though I love him.
No refs.
Nuka is waiting to tell Zira something but she has better things to do as usual. :lol:

Traditional media is so much fun! Which is the reason I got this done so quickly... I had a lot of fun. I need to practice with watercolors though :/

Why did I never upload this here?

June '09
~~~
Old drawings was gonna upload them separate but they are old so I didn't.
Ok top left corner is a Simba snowman, Christmas pic. No refs.
Top right corner is Pumbaa. Reffed but I can't remember where.
Bottom left hand corner is Simba :D again. Reffed from a huge Disney coloring book.
Middle is Simba sliding down the mossy things in the Hakuna Matata level in the Genesis game.
And Bottom right is my first try at adult Simba, thinking about Mufasa. I can't remember if I used a ref or not. Probably. Oh and if you cant read what I wrote it says " and the hardest thing to do in life is wave goodbye to a friend." its from a song by my uncle's band Friction.

Gift for Aqua/Sequoia Lioness :)
She was the first person to ever say anything nice about my art and she always can find a way to make me smile. I don't know her personally but I appreciate her very much.

Her kitty Amani died the other day and we all know how much losing a pet hurts so please keep her in your thoughts. :)

I don't think this is that good but I hope it made you smile Aqua.

Hooray!! Even with a broken laptop screen and having to beg on my knees to put Photoshop on my momma's computer I finished my half of the trade with Kitchiki that needed to be done awhile ago! It's her awesome character Dega!

No ref! But I DID NOT make the background! It's a screenshot of the Genesis game that I edited a little! I REPEAT! I DO NOT TAKE CREDIT FOR THE BACKGROUND!! ;) XD
I was gonna make the background... honestly. I had it started but I just got really lazy.

Probably because I'm allowed to exaggerate and I'm not stressing out about the damn anatomy, I'm just drawing. I tend to have more fun also. So please enjoy a happy smiling Ais.

Those are supposed to be ants she's gonna step on :P Referenced from a cute little book I got when I was little called Nala's Game... Nala gets mad because Simba cheats in a game so they both go off and try to find other animals to play with and Nala steps on a poor old anteater's lunch hehe

So I was just messing around while I was listening to The Fray and I started sketching a lioness, some reason it ended up looking a little like Nala so I just went with it.

No references for this one! YAY!! I'm not sure what animal that skull is from... haha

Hey can someone tell me why every time they end up looking fat? Lol

Anyway this is after Nala returns from finding Simba in the jungle and after their argument.
