Still goin’ through those commissions!
There is so much pink and love on my art feeds today. Here’s some grey to break it up, from 2002 when I was full of hate for Singles Awareness Day. Now it’s 2016 and I’m none of those things, and my Valentine’s Day plans are to go to splits class and maybe see the ex-with-benefits tonight, or maybe tomorrow, it’s not a big deal as long as he brings me some fudge or something from the little bakery I am not allowed to remember is like six blocks northeast of me because I would become spherical if I did.

Commission. Blue Panther experiencing the subtle joys of vector construction.
So last night at SICAGA I was working on a commission and got to talking about the process. Dordji half-jokingly asked “would you draw a wrestler commission?” and I drunkenly said “sure! Pick one!”
One google image search and twenty minutes later, this had happened.
Ever the pro, I of course sent him a 300DPI copy of it.

Commission: a blue and black dragon girl named Aevisaris.

Me and the ex-with-benefits, as dragons. Valentine’s day gift type thing.
Illustrator, about an hour. Most of which was spent with said XWB dozing on the couch next to me, with my leg sprawled across him.

I was looking through my old site from 199x this evening and found this. It’s from back when I was a boy. I was totally not thinking about gender stuff. Totally. I did not ever have a raccoon character who was ‘me’, and I especially didn’t have one who I was playing on Furrymuck a whole year before I started playing Peganthyrus, the black dragon. I totally hadn’t started painting my nails back then and totally didn’t think orange was one of the better colors I had.
Totally.
Medium: probably pen and ink, colored with some mixture of Deluxe Paint and ImageFX on my Amiga.
