RAINBOW ZEBRA!

BAM! Made a black rainbow zebra...
Your arguments are irrelevant. 

Two Loving Men... as humanoids & lions.

These two guys. Kei & Kurt, is one of the sweetest (and extremely hilarious) couples you'll ever meet. I've known them for years and have been like big brothers to me & always there for me. Love you guys!

Kei & Kurt as lions. Why?....
Just cause I can :P

MORE PONIES!

So as you can see, I re-vamped my pony-sona ALOT. I wanted her to stand out a little so I figured I'd cross her with a snake and bam, Snake Charmer :P She's kinda like Fluttershy in the aspect she loves animals, but more specialized in the scaly ones & she can cure other ponies who've been poisoned or envenomed with her magic. As far as why she looks half pony, half snake, well, I haven't really come up with anything solid, but I figured Discord would have something to do with it, since he can alter ponies physical appearances. (shrugs)

Anyways, I like this version better than my last one :3

I've seen other artists around FA do MLP:FiM-style-versions of Ponyta & Rapidash, but none of the zebra-pokemon from the Black & White versions! I colored them via MSPaint, which is why it looks kinda crappy but I still had fun! XD

I really don't know what spurred this on in my head, but I haven't drawn any Hellsing fanart in YEEEEAAAAARRRRS, and while I was on the pony-drawing kick, I couldn't resist the idea of drawing a vampire-Nazi-pony, and who better to choose than Rip Van Winkle?! I think her overall character in Hellsing was too short-lived, but loved her character design.

If you don't like the fact she's got a swastika for a cutie-mark, get over it. She wears one in the anime, her character IS A NAZI, and again, it's a cartoon. I do not support Nazi-ism, or whatever. Move along.

Fighting Against the Darkness

When I finally overcame my depression and long struggle to draw, this is basically how I felt. When I finally got my inspiration, it was like a new spark of fire ignited within my soul and gave me strength & drive to pick up my pencil and keep doing what I love. No longer will I let this depression keep me in the shadows. I will fight, and I WILL be victorious!

All the COLORRRRRRRRSSSS!!

When one gets a hold of a plethora of different colored Sharpies, you're gonna have fun with them :) I drew a random cheesey-looking cobra all rainbow-ed out

Another rainbow dragon, but this time, a Western species. And once again, fun with Sharpies :3

I know I'm a little late on celebrating this, but considering the Chinese New Year is Year of the Snake, I couldn't resist the idea of drawing some of my favorite serpent-bodied pokemon :) I know Seviper is really more of bluish-black but alas, I don't have that color in Sharpies :P I'm kinda so-so about the color job, but overall I'm pretty happy with it :)

One of my good friends from work, Lauren, requested I draw her as furry (or maybe in this case birdy? She did say she wanted to be an owl XD) doing something fun like playing paddy-cake, and thus I delivered :) I know it looks like we're holding hands or something but I assure you, it's strictly just goofin-around :P

I Need a Doctor

To me, this piece is very personal to me because this was my first sketch I had managed to do after my Dad has passed away. It's The Doctor holding my fursona, Chao, in a comforting embrace. I have written a bit of dialogue to go with this piece and whether or not you choose to read it doesn't matter to me. I just wanted to share this very personal sketch now that I'm slowly (yet surely) recovering using my artwork to cope.
----

The lioness cried & cried what seemed like endless tears, the Doctor holding her tightly, letting her sob quietly. She felt lost... confused... angry... but most of all, alone. Even though she had many who comforted her & would support her, it still did not heal the gaping wound in her heart that her father was now gone. The Doctor sighed and held her close as he was going to try to comfort the grief-struck feline.

"I'm sorry...I'm so sorry." He spoke solemnly.

"But Doctor, why?... Why couldn't he have held on just a little longer?" Chao sobbed, clenching her eyes, wishing she could stop these tears from flowing constantly.

"Would you really wish that on your ole' dad? Your best friend?" The Doctor asked her, a hint of shock in his tone.

"...I don't understand. Why wouldn't I?" She looked up into his brown eyes, lost & confused, blinking as more tears streamed down her cheeks.

"I'm old enough to know that a longer life isn't always a better one. In the end, you just get tired; tired of the struggle..." He spoke, years and years of experience behind his words. The kind of words that can only come from a being that has seen many things and lost many loved ones, and couldn't do a single thing about it.

"..." Her silence, though momentary, was a profound realization. Chao leaned her head in once more to seek comfort in his hug, listening to the gentle beatings of his hearts.

"Your dad was in so much pain, cub. Think about it. How many times did you watch him attempt to lift a cup of his favorite coffee, but he couldn't... You know he loved doing his projects outside, in the warm sunshine, but he didn't have the strength to get out of the bed anymore. Would you have wished one more minute of that suffering and pain upon someone you love?" The Doctor, though not chastising, was stern in his questioning, trying to make her truly understand what she was wishing for the lost loved one.

"...No, Doctor. Not at all... It just still hurts." The lioness sobbed, trying to wipe the tears from her eyes as she slowly began to understand the wise traveler's words.

"I know... And it always will. But don't ever forget one thing, just one thing, dear... He will always be watching you from the stars, and I know he's so very proud of you and will always love you, as you loved him." He replied softly, tilting her chin up to look into her tear stained eyes.

"Heh, yeah. That's very true, Doctor..." Chao spoke, closing her eyes as a flood of memories clouded her mind, remembering the best moments from the time she was a wee little thing growing up, the glorious day of her wedding as he proudly walked her down the aisle, to being there in his final days watching his favorite show, "MoonShiners."

"Your ole' man had a lot of skeletons in his past, believe me, I know, and when he told you about them when you were just a wee lass, he was so scared, terrified even, that you would reject him... but you didn't care because he's your dad and you told him the past didn't matter to you. You told him just so long as he would never stop loving you, none of it mattered. And that, mate, is something every father needs to hear from his beloved children." As the Doctor looked into the lioness's eyes, his dimples began to show a little as a soft & caring smile crept across his lips.

She smiled softly, her heart still heavy with grief but at the same time, a sensation of realization and comfort washed over her soul as she looked into the Doctor's eyes, finally understanding, and finally feeling the first sensations of healing & her heart swelling, no longer feeling as empty as it once was.

"Thank you, Doctor... Thank you so much. I will never forget your words..." Chao spoke in a gentle whisper, giving him one last & the tightest hug she could, as she knew he had to be on his way soon and knowing this would probably the last time she saw him again...

One Stressful Year

I do sincerely apologize about my absence here on this blog. I've had to cope with one of the greatest losses in my life, that person being my father. I love him so much and thus, when you're depressed, your artistic muse can't inspire much from you. But here's a CRAP TON of work to make up for my absence.

 Sooo while going through my art folders, I found a piece I had scanned a loooong time ago and forgot to upload XD; As you may have noticed, this version of Coal is before his new markings so that should tell you how long it was forgotten!! Whoopsie.

Anyways, just a gag doodle as how dinner time goes in my marriage. I'm not allowed in the kitchen unless:

1.) I'm needed for assistance, which is hardly ever.

or

2.) Dinner is done XD

Just a simple doodle of Chao with my faithful companion, Alice, my German Shep/Lab mix. While I've been staying with my bestie, I've had to keep Alice outside and really miss having her indoors. I remember when I first got her as a puppy at my old place that I didn't allow her to be on our bed or the couch, but having her outside for so long, I've missed her being curled up next to me. :) Hopefully, when we finally get a place, I can have her inside all I want and she'll always be welcomed at the end of our bed... except when mommy and daddy want some 'alone' time XD

I got super bored at work and wanted to play around with my sharpies, thus is the results :P 

Nothing special to say about this guy, At first, he was just a random dragon doodle sitting in my sketchbook, but again, when you get bored at work, you find ways to entertain yourself, and I must say, I kinda liked him after coloring him up a bit. Hope ya'll like it!

This is how I kinda felt when I first heard news about RE6... Now to finish all of my other neglected games! XD; I don't think I'll ever complete Elder Scrolls: Oblivion and I feel horrid about not even starting the first dungeon in Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword... the little wolf pup is Chibi from the sequel game to Okami on the DS... I'm a bad game T.T

If it weren't for my husband being there to help me when I stumble or when I just can't stop crying, I don't know how I'd be able to function like sane person. I love you, Eric. 

Sometimes the best thing you can do for a person who you know is going through some hard times is to just let them cry, listen, and hug them to show them you care.
