The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Figured I'd start posting some of my art up here.  I've been working on a style that's less anime/manga-like in favor of a more stylized appearance.  I'm drawing mostly from Don Bluth, given how if it weren't for his movies I wouldn't be a furry in the first place. xD

Here is my most recent refsheet of my fursona.  I'm still trying to get a few things down, and I've improved on my new style a bit since I started.  I'm especially enjoying drawing humans in this new style of mine.  But for now, here is my fursona's refsheet.

Wow! That looks awesome  :wow

Personally I prefer LBT artwork, but aslong as it's well done I don't mind art in general :P:
I haven't seen any mistakes which can be improved :)

Thank you very much, Kor and Ducky!  About time I finally got out my tablet again.  These pictures were originally colored pencil, but after I realized how clean digital looked, I fixed them up.  xP

Here's a little preview image for a cooking show I've been working on this summer.



And here is one of the graphics for the pilot episode.  Never plug Japanese appliances into an American outlet.  xP

Hello:
 What I like the most about the second pic is how your shirt say what you are thinking even better than yourself (but that's just my guess) :lol .

 Very nice pics!

Thank you!  The t-shirt was an intentional easter egg I've recently started using.  Instead of a plain white t-shirt, I decided to use it as a canvas to put my sona's thoughts on.   :p

Nice! I really like these! The way you draw lights and darks really makes these stand out I think. Gives it a realistic lighting and compliments the scenery nicely.

Thanks everybody!  I appreciate the compliment, Pterano.  I drew inspiration for my shadow/highlight technique from Ken Sugimori, I drew inspiration for the toony style from Don Bluth, while trying to add a little of my own twist to it.  :p

THAT'S why it has a sense of familiarity to it! I couldn't place it before, but now that you mentioned those two, I'm like yeah... can totally see that now. :smile It's a great combo of styles. :DD

Hah, that's a brilliant idea! :DD

Really like these pics you uploaded - the coloring is really what I wold expect on a lizard, and I love those screenshots you overlapped with.

Finally!  I got some actual art done!  It's been one hell of a semester I tell ya.

Worked on this picture for my new furaffinity account, which I should be moving to in the next couple of days.  xD

The angles and the facial anatomy are a little off, but I wanted to give off an exaggerated, silly yet somewhat creepy vibe to it.  :p
