It's a gypsy thang

Two weird gypsy designs... Not that I tire of animals, but trying to revive my very dead inking skills.

Dogs and Tigers

Been drawing a lot of naked chicks and animals lately. Here's a few. Most new drawings are going in my sketchbook to sell. Info on that soon :)

Going to the Zoo...zoo zoo

Zoo drawing is my zen. It relaxes me, I enjoy the animals... I do not, however, enjoy the heat. And I managed to pick the one day out of the week where it was blazing hot!

Ah well. Blazing heat made for tired, sleepy animals which meant longer poses to draw from. These are from one of my favorite sections of the LA Zoo, the "geriatric" hoofstock area with springbok, pronghorns, gerenuk, and whatever else may be too tired to be in the exhibits.

Rain in June in California? What?

Harvey James meme

So Harvey James, fantastic artist that he is, asked folks to redesign his cat characters into chicks... so here's mine.

Big Cat Little Cat

Art Dump!

Wolves

One of the most inspiring animal artists I know is Meheut. Good grief what gorgeous drawings. So this weekend, I actually drew for myself. I find drawing animals and landscapes much more satisfying than people sometimes.

Color Comp

Work in Progress of a lil scene I started yesterday...

Today we had wolves on my old college campus. I am now exhausted. Work shifted us from orthographics to layout, so I've been helping out by painting trees, bushes, whatever needs to be done.

Concepts from the Disney XD Avatar creator launched this February.

Stuff!

I'm crap at updating.

I've now added a link in Firefox to get me to update this thingamajig more often.

So here's an oldie, but I never uploaded it here. Ha. I'm going back to work on my storyboard portfolio, which has sadly been neglected. I think my old story teacher would hit me for letting it linger so long, but when you're working 12 hour days? Maybe not so much.

Disney's XD channel has gone live, and I had fun designing stuff for their avatar creator :)

I'll post more on that next time ;)

Animals!

So my friends, being the fantastic friends that they are, are helping me with a "project". I've asked them for two things: an animal and a descriptor. Example: A lazy llama or a lethargic octopus.

It's just a lil exercise to stretch the drawing muscles :)

Here's a few: A twitterpated giraffe and a bloodthirsty
ostrich.






Cheers!

Two days worth of sketches!

Work's been hectic, and I did update my other journal but not here, so two for the price of one! Above is a little sketch I did for an artist on Deviantart that goes by the name Themrock. Dirk's a fantastic artist and a great person.

Above is an image from an artistic challenge from the SketchTavern. Taken from a stock photo. This was done purely for educational purposes. You can view the original image here: http://candiesforeveryone.deviantart.com/art/woman-seated-stock-43642545

Return of Sketch a Day!

I'm going to try to bring back Sketch a Day. So to start it off... Here's a lil Miyazaki loving...

Where DID I go anyway?

So it's been awhile since I posted (nearly a year? Yeek!). Things have been busy.

I've graduated, I'm working as a concept designer for Made in Paradise. I've been doing character design jobs on the side, and sketch card art like what you see on the left there. Those would be licensed images from New Line Cinema and Topps, just to cover my legal bum.

I just wanted folks to know I'm alive, and they can find me if they need to by emailing me at: icefoxstudios@gmail.com

Cheers,
-Karen
