Pretty Smart for a Hyena

The other day, me and and friend of mine were bringing up bad animal stereotypes believed to be true way back in the day.
I WANTED to say that "Hyena's were thought to be Hermaphrodites"... but somewhere along the trail of thought, "Hermaphrodite" became "Androgynous" became "Ambidextrous".
And so I said: "People used to think Hyenas were ambidextrous!"
Pretty smart for fellas who don't even have any thumbs.

Beasts of Yore Portfolio

I was asked to join a portfolio a couple of years back that was themed “beasts of Yore”. After the initial round of images were completed, we decided to go ahead for another round, and I put dibbs on “Werewolf”.

Here’s my prelim sketch. I’m making it out to look like an old scripture drawing- so I’ll probably be breaking out my ink well and pen nubs for this one.

For the cultural info, and why I made it Hungarian based, follow the link to my Livejournal post:

Landscape II

Another quick sketch paint. I wanted something a kin to the Swiss Alps- with the big frosty mountains and little mist-filled village bellow.
I really can't wait for winter. :)

Layout

Another layout which is the base of another commissioned piece from a client.

R.I.P. Wicket

Yesterday one of my friends noted me that his cat hat to be put down. She was suffering from FIP and was only 5 years old. It's the second cat in the last 2 days that I heard passed away (both of them belonging to different firends). I'll be making a little artistic tribute to both of them respectivly.
This one is Wicket. My you rest in peace Wicket! And take good care of your human companion from wherevere you are!
