Funnymingos!

Hey everyone! ;o) Sorry for the long absence...*insert lame excuse here* Here are some gangly birds I sketched up after watching Disney's documentary about flamingos - very interesting, but at parts VERY SAD! http://disneydvd.disney.go.com/disneynature-crimson-wing.html

Happy Year of the Rabbit!

Lucky rabbit FEET?! Haha. This guy ended up having ginormous hind feet...he looks a little like a kangaroo! He's a wily old hare though, so he needs them to spring off when farmer Joe realizes he's been at the cabbages again...

Meet Mr. Dodo

He loves to bob bob bob around in the harbor near the Long Beach Aquarium!

Lately I've been fascinated by these little guys. More sketches to come...

The Nine Sons of the Dragon

Hi everyone! These are the first sketches for my new project, to design each of the nine mythological "sons" of the Chinese dragon. Each son is the guardian of a variety of different aspects of life, such as luck, love, etc ;o) I find this myth particularly attractive, as it involves the mash-up of a bunch of different types of animals. However, the theme of the dragon runs throughout each son's appearance, whether its scales or claws or whatever! This is the first of Dragon's nine sons, the Qi-Lin, or the Chinese unicorn. According to legend, it has the body of a deer, the head of a dragon, scales like a lizard, and a bear's tail!!! Anyways, should be fun to see where this ends up! As usual, thanks for stopping by!

Hippos...

...Surprisingly pink on the bottom!

Coupla zzzzzzzzzzzbras

Ever wonder whether they're white with black stripes or the other way around? Wikipedia reveals all: "It was previously believed that zebras were white animals with black stripes, since some zebras have white underbellies. Embryological evidence, however, shows that the animal's background color is dark and the white stripes and bellies are additions." HUZZAH! One universe question down...many more to go.

Messing around with a square brush...

Much angrier! Haha.
