Peppermint skunks

Spur of the moment sketching with a friend in OC. Peppermint themed twins (been looking at Miu's stuff again lol!) I've seen so many skunk anthros with special tails that I wanted to try my hand at it. it's pretty bland and plain compared to what some folks do but I like 'em since I can't do super details or complex well. Also the girl is actually a redesign of a skunk girl I posted a few weeks ago so it's really just my purple skunk got a red paint job and a brother.
Buddy also suggested due to their odd tails to draw them beside them like how some folks do on character profiles (he gave me a few examples of other skunk characters) I hope their not too confusing or odd.

Lime Pepper (38)
A former accountant, he took to living with his sister after suffering from a car accident that caused him to retire early and hang around the house in relaxed clothing. If his not at home in underwear he dresses in formal or a button up shirt and vest combo so he looks his best when around others.
Constantly confused for a kid due to his short size, stanidng a mere 4'7 foot tall, he seems to get mistaken for his sister's child then her brother. He hides the fact his had 5 failed marriages rather well and most wouldn't even think his had one.
Most women who have dated him claim his a 'grower' and shouldn't be judged for his size and frame. After the car wreck he claims he has problems reaching a climax and takes longer to finish. It seems to make him uninterested in sex however since it often hurts him since the wreck as well.
His tail has a swirl to it and white hands.

Spicy mint (38)
The opposite of her hard working brother she is a pompadour sporting rockabilly punk who lives off managing local bands. While her brother can keep a date or a girl for quite a while she can't seem to keep a man's interest for more then a week or two at best. This is often due to picking up men younger then her, arguments over music (a firm believer in punk died in the 80s), or attempting to be the man of every relationship.
Any guy who's dated her long enough to have a sexual encounter with her all claim to have just been pegged since she doesn't seem comfortable with the idea of bottoming. This has lead to wide spread rumors she's a virgin or a possible transman.
Her tail is mostly white with the right side being red. Her lower legs and feet are white.

Work sketchings!

I drew at work again about a week ago and brought home some of them. Their not good, all unfinished and just ink scribbles. I'm gonna upload them one by one over time since I'm sleepy and just feel like putting up just one right now.


I didn't get to finish it or his right arm and hand since I drew it on break and had to rush out when my 15 minutes were up.

LeBlanc 'Lobo' Cól-lee, one of Vulture Loco's enemies as well as a human ally with a small group of werewolves. Not a native to Mexico, his Spanish is horrible and often has his wife translate for him as she grew up in Spain. While his family passed on early when he was a kid he learned how to speak Cherokee from his father and learned Cajun accented French from his mother. His odd eyes are considered a strange trait he acquired from his mom as only one has a black sclera and the other normal but he matches them with contact lens.

As a child he was kidnapped and held for ransom after his parents and grandparents passed and the public became aware he aquired all of their money making him rich at a young age. This left him with a nervous tic, erotophobia, and more reclusive about his personal life in the media to keep future kidnappings from happening again. Because of this events he later had secretive surgerys done to make himself feel better about the kidnapping and comfortable with himself afterwords.

Money is no object to him for at a early age he used his inherited money to open his own line of clothing which was met with large success. He mostly uses styles and designs from cultures around the world and recently his been using Aztec style art for his patterns, leading him to reside in Mexico for a small time and meeting Vulture.

A few times him and Vulture have butted heads though his not evil per say, just greedy, sides with the wrong people due to his own agenda, and finds it entertaining to watch someone struggle. He never fights directly since he is scared of being struck so his size is completely for show. At times though if backed into a corner and provoked enough he will lash out just enough to get away but pass out from the adrenaline soon after. Sometimes he has been a helpful ally to Vulture and will help him out of it is more entertaining and useful to him, making him somewhat of a neutral character.

More old photos?

Found some more old photos to share!



Probably my favorite of the lot. Peggy, she had a stumpy lower leg cause we found her caught in a possum trap (we had one killing chickens) and we pulled her out and cut off her foot and some of her lower leg cause it was beyond saving. While taking care of her during her healing she grew use to me cause I fed her every day and once she got back walking and hobbling around she would follow me and spend time with me if I sat down. Sadly we lost her in the middle of a night to something and we don't know what it was. Even though she was a wild turkey who decided it was better to just chill around the house instead of going back in the woods I did like her company. She didn't have a temper, didn't make any noise at all, and was a really beautiful bird. Strange enough she was very clean. I don't know much on turkeys but she was rarely dirt or had bugs in her feathers.


We used to raise chickens and once in a while some took a liking to me more then my mom or step dad. This was one who would always get up on a old cloths line pole we had just sticking out of the edge of the backyard. It was kinda pretty how he'd strut about trying to show he was tough stuff on it. Often times though the bigger chickens would jump up and push him down so he was never king of the hill for long.


More swamp photos!







Photo from a family friend's cabin. Used to like it there, it was on the water to where we could step on the porch and fish and the pier was connected to the porch with a nice boat ramp at the end. I really miss it.

Might upload more later on. At the moment that's all I've found

Mkhan the Djinn

Ani't uploaded in a while! I know I should! Next post I'm gonna post pictures from my recent vacation to Dallas. Anyway, enjoy a colored picture, a rarity among my pictures.



Mkhan (his name is half a Arabic word for necklace) a djinn/genie who is completely neutral but is still viewed as a bad spirit to most who encounter him based on his behavior, past deeds, and evil eye tattoo on his back. Chaotic, selfish, and a bit insane, he does not align with good or bad and only does what he wants for himself and sees taking sides to be pointless. As much of a free spirit as a magic slave can be, he often disorganized and completely unpredictable without someone telling him what to do (that is if he wants to do it) He is not without a moral code but can be swayed away from it by the right offers and interests.

He is considered one of the most powerful djinn to roam around the Arabic peninsula and has no problem showing it off. He has a large limit to his magic that hardly is ever used and can grant as many wishes as he wants and at times even deny a wish but he still follows rules and restrictions that are set on him. He sees himself as the adoptive father for a child named Jazilan while still being a child at heart himself.
He can't use his magic to effect love or emotions, leaving him rather lonely since he can't force himself on someone who has no desire for him or make them return his feelings. There are no accounts of anyone except a few children seeing his eyes though why he keeps them hidden behind his hair is unknown. He is also able to shed his skin like a lizard and walk around as a 'magically gifted' human for a day before growing his skin back or returning to the old skin.



I think the most fun I had with this was drawing on the clothing on his stomach. I like the evil eye in it for some reason

Old photos

Old photos from where I lived when I was a teenager down in Baton Rouge. At the time this was my back yard lol
I kinda miss that old scenery. To some it's depressing but to me it was always calming...

Update excuse

Ani't been here in a while cause I ani't drawn in a while!

Old picture is old but I like it dispite all it's flaws. A complete pen only picture I did a while back of a Mexican wrestler who is the prime example of MEXPLOITATION! Such a fun word, that's why it's in caps. Think I'll type it again just for the fun of it. MEXPLOITATION.
His stage name is Vulture Loco but his real name is unheard so at times his stage name acts as his real name.
If his not in the desert punching some undead werewolf, taking out nun vampires, his either at church, doing tv stunts, or bleaching his hair a pale white cause damnit that's what you do in a mexploitation world!
A addict to fishing, closet comic book fan, and a open bisexual, there isn't much known about him other then that. His age, birthplace, and family life is a complete mystery but this may be because he doesn't know either but if he does he has done well to hide it from even close ones.

Finally got back into drawing since I got out of the hospital! Preview of something I've been working on in between commissions




Also, a very awesome little webcomic link!
http://www.bearnutscomic.com/
Be warned, it has a few adult jokes in it so best not for young ones dispite it's cute and cuddly artwork!

Hospital trip

I got out of the hospital yesterday. I was in there from Friday morning to yesterday afternoon. Oh I absolutely hated it. I jog and work out everyday so being stuck in a bed only getting up to go to bathroom drove me nuts! IV tube kept itching due to the tape, had to get shots in my stomach everyday, and the lady who drew my blood several times a day was a bitch.

But I'm home now and I'm on some medicine for whatever might be left over of my illness. It's so nice to be home, it's raining nicely, and it's a nice temperature to have the windows up tonight. Plus one of my friends gave me one of his video games as a get well present so I might be busy with Animal Crossing: City Folk for a while!

Mmmm, getting to eat some left over Olive Garden alfredo. Shrimp, alfredo, and breadsticks for breakfast. I feel I'm being spoiled cause I was in the hospital lol!

El Tigre fanart preview

A preview of a El Tigre fanart I'm hoping to finish soon of my favorite character, White Pantera. Hopefully I'll be able to finish this up but so far I might scrap it for something better.




DISTRACTION TIME!

The Mexican vampire

Virgilio Antonio Miguel Paulino, Virgil for short. A mexican vampire who stole the hand of Quetzalcoatl, now able to predict bad weather, a bit of necromantic magic, and deliver a epic bitch slap. He uses his politeness as a way to assert dominance and show superiority, only waving his stolen arm around for back up if there's a fight or disagreement.

Aztec designs and textures are a bitch to draw so I did random stuff! Given this was all in pen and couldn't go back I had to scribble on the side some concept patterns for Quetzalcoatl's hand, which you can't see.... Also, the fingers will change with each drawing cause I never see any picture of the Aztec god the same so I'm gonna do like ancient artist and just mix it up. His thumb however will always be a bird's claw cause in a few draws they'd give him fingers with textures like a bird's toe.

I really wanna draw him screaming something stereotypical like 'MANG!' or 'Vamanos'.

Scribbles and sketchings?

I've found alot of good artist who post here and I like following their blogs. I know I'm not as good as alot of people who post sketchs here but in a way it inspires me to want to try a bit better and new styles. It's so fun to see what other people do and how they evolve. I'm not quite sure why I like it.

Until I can become as good as some people here, all I can do is sit here and improve and keep on drawing. God I sound so corny and like a written script for a bad teen movie lol!

Have some sketchs today since I doubt I'll be updating later this week because of my work schedules...


Phulop, a vampire striken with rigor mortis. He likes to tend to plants and feed fruit bats. Only attacks weak people or sleeping victims since his too old and brittle for fighting. A sketch I did at work and only had a pen to work with so I'm sorry it's really really scribbly








Klocker Koopa and his best friend Princess Apple. He was a fat kid and changed that as he got older. Sadly Apple still likes to annoy him by drumming on his shell.


Another Klocker sketch of him older. In color and unfinished. Mostly done to show his skin tone and grey hair.

Kactus Kiddies

Some sketchs of some cactus children I did at work.
Vajilla and Paella (named after plates in Spain) are brother and sister in Amigo's village. Their parents are divorced and each resides with a parent but still play together none the less.
Vajilla is the short, fat Lace Kactus brother. His mom wants him to be a big time sports star (doesn't care which sport) but really he just wants to write stories and journals. His best friends with his little sister Paella though he wishes there were more kids his age around to play with. He wears a dirty old poncho to look like he plays in the dirt to fool his mother, torn shorts, and carries a bag around with his notebook and pencils. His leaf petals are shaggy and unkept and seem similar to braids.

Paella the tall, skinny Saguaro sister. She lives with her dad who wants her to be a famous story writer or news reporter for the village but really she just wants to play sports and roll around in mud. While her brother would much rather sit on the side and watch her play she still likes spending time with him no matter the activity. She switchs out her skirt for a pair of pants to avoid getting them dirty so her dad doesn't know she's out playing alot, a bandanna on her neck, and a headband. She has 3 main petals, two for bangs that curl and a large one she pulls into a ponytail type style. She recently started wearing vests though since she's growing her other 3 arms like other Saguaro's do.




Ani't updated much due to Bioshock 2 coming out and work related issues. Overall I'll be picking up the slack very soon again.

Mass Effect inspired

Not sure how but this is inspired by Mass Effect.
Not quite sure what's going on with it's hair. Oh well, alien hair styles are always weird.

The ugliest artist you know

I'm so damn pale I glow in the dark. My acne is so hard to get rid of to the point I have more red dots then a pepperoni pizza. My mohawk has has faded from a bright blue and pink to a teal and blonde. When I smile my lips make me look like a damn frog. I've ruined one ear with a skin illness and the other by tearing it by jamming screws through it. My teeth are yellow and crooked no matter how much I brush 'em. I have toenails sharp and long enough to cut skin and tear blanket fabric. Best of all, I have constant raw onion breath from eating raw red onions alot.
But you know what? I'm a honest ugly person lol!

Here's you're weekly music from youtube.

Gonna finish this later by adding the father and adopted bother.
Blonde (right side) and her mother Olivia.

While Blondie is half Egyptian, the other side is a complete mystery due to her mother. Olivia has such a mixed racial background ranging from Japanese, native American, Norwegian, German and Ethiopian and possibly more. A dark skinned woman with red hair and violet eyes, she was exotic no matter her background.
When younger she explored the world and had a love of flight. She travelled the world, survived record breaking amounts of crashes, explored areas of the world that were difficult for most professional explorers to reach. When she visited Egypt however she began to travel with a photographer and fresco painter who would become the father of Blondie. When they reached London their trips around stopped due to pregnancy and soon almost completely because of parenthood.
Her adventures didn't stop once she became a mother though. She soon became a star of London as Josephine Baker was to France. She mostly let her boyfriend raise her child so she could have fun, leaving the country on trips, meeting with political staff, and even joining the military as a spy. It was the drive for adventure that caused her to vanish from the face of the Earth, leaving Blondie motherless and soon orphaned when her father went missing looking for her.
The little time she was around her daughter as a child however she was a good mother, she just couldn't sit still long enough to fully bond with her. She left a large impression on her which in itself made Blondie a adventure lover as well. One thing is for certain though, no matter what, she'll never fill the shoes of her mother no matter how hard she tries but even she acknowledges this.

Stop touching me

"Why can't anyone hear me? Is my story not important or interesting? You told me you'd listen if there was ever a problem so why do you tune me out when I try and tell you something is wrong..."

"It didn't happen to me, why should I care?"
"No one listened to me, why should I listen to you if no one was there for me."
"Sorry, I'm just gonna turn my head."
"Why is it such a problem? It happens all the time."
"I'm too busy for this. Can't you tell someone else?"
"I told you I'd listen but... really I'm not interested.
"Sorry, what? I don't see the problem."
"Just don't tell anyone. That's what I did and I turned out ok."
"Tell a therapist or teacher, not me."
"Why didn't you defend yourself? You let it happen."
"Sorry, I'm good friends with that guy. I'm not about to believe you."
"...Why don't you try telling me? Or is it too late to undo the damage?"

Vetis the Warlock

My scanner eats up pictures alot lately. Sorry about the spots here and there.

Vetis, a actor who played a warlock of the same name on a popular series in the 80s aimed for young boys and adventure lovers.
Now a days he mostly shows up at conventions as a guest of honor or does a bit of voice acting.
His secret shame? He has all the Misfit songs from Jem on his MP3 player and the songs as his ring tones.
