Wow, almost two weeks since anything. Well, we had house guests and I've been working on getting things together for CTN-X, otherwise known as 'my big chance.' Heh. Not likely but without trying, there can be no success. This is a design I was asked to do for a friend of mine who has chosen the badger as her totem, or it has chosen her. Eventually, it will be a t-shirt design, likely only for her. Awaiting approval.

One more for the day. This guy thinks he looks cool. Beaver = cool. Sorta.

Free time this morning yielded this guy. He's sort of like a sack of potatoes with a huge mouth. Or a pillowcase.

Last of the beavers for awhile. Got too much else to do.

Punked out beaver #2. Oi!

Hey, another beaver. No good reason. Punk!

Hey, here's two beavers that came from nowhere tonight. Perhaps it was just a need to ink something or to try out two new colors of ink. Whatever. Beavers!

This is pretty much what I would want for size, proportion and costume. That is, IF I were going to continue with this which, of course, I am not.

Probably.

Quick sketch and ink with one of the initial elf designs. Have to work on the body more, get the ratios right. And I have to get back to what I'm really supposed to be doing.

And a quick page of potential elves. Quick sketches but what I think I want to take away from this is the general youth and androgyny of them. Also, since I bought the different colored inks, I might want to draw each race with a different color. Or not.

Another go with the dwarfs. This one is close to the description of Thorin. I was reading the part where they're toiling through the Mirkwood so thought to draw him all bent over. This was dashed out before work. Got to color him next.
