Bandaid Application by Fru

Wed, 27 Aug 2008 17:33:47 -0000

A sketch of two of my characters, Winslow (left) and Farnsworth (right), also known as Wins 'n' Farns. =) Wins is putting a bandaid on Farns, who probably managed to slice his finger whilst cutting a bagel or something. And yes, they're both guys, and they're a couple ..

Jacques, Rather Wet by Fru

'Il pleut!' D: A very old character of mine, Jacques the shy little boy who never talks. He showed up in the margins of my math homework in grade 8 ... In fact he was my very first 'character' that I remember =)

Kooky & Dragon by Fru

Fri, 08 Feb 2008 06:55:16 -0000

For Trading Post #26, Kooky! (I hope it's okay that I am posting this here!) =) I like the way it turned out, apart from the not-too-lovely background. Kooky (the fox!) is (c) to his creator, who may be found here: http://kooky.jaxpad.com/ The dragon guy is my own creation, I put him there because it wouldn't have made any sense for Kooky to be standing there talking to himself ... XD

Finbarr's Gargoyle by Fru

Sun, 03 Feb 2008 05:01:08 -0000

So I lived in Ireland for 6 months, and I lived like right next to this amazing cathedral, St. Finbarr's, and I took a lot of pictures of the gargoyles and things on it. =] And then I came home and made this picture using a brush pen, then added some colour with Gimp! And that's it.

Farns as a Fennec by Fru

Thu, 29 Mar 2007 04:58:19 -0000

For my trading post I asked everyone to draw my human characters as anthros. SpiritWolf had the idea to turn one of them, Farnsworth, into a fennec, and that happens to be exactly what I was thinking! So I decided to do my own version of Farns as a fennec. :B I didn't use any references, so he might look more like dog or something ... :X Once again I use my magic secret coloured-pencil-only-not technique in Photoshop! AHAHAHAHAAA! >__> <__<

Minotaur & 'Bouitaur by Fru

Fri, 23 Feb 2007 04:20:27 -0000

Heh. This was for trading post ... #4, I think it was. For Sue :D Em ... it was supposed to be something based around a woodland caribou! I somehow got to thinking about caribous and their similarities to bulls, and so ... ya know. This happened. O_O Actually I am proud of this. ^__^ The expressions came out perfectly, and I LIKE the poses (for once). It's like they're looking apprehensively at some troubling smoke signals or approaching enemies or ... something. Oh, uh ... don't mind the skirt/loincloth thingies they're wearing. >__>; I didn't feel like drawing them in board shorts, it might have ruined the mood. So ... LOINSKIRT! ANYWAY! It was done in pencil and I was too lazy to draw a background, so there's a photo. At least I took the photo myself. Hahaaaa! I think that is all I have to say. (Finally.) Inspiration is thanks to Sue, but I guess the characters are my own. :3 Oh,and thanks to Lmai for the term "'bouitaur"!! XD

Bifruki by Fru

Fri, 23 Feb 2007 03:55:46 -0000

This is my avatar, Bifruki. :9 Hahaa! Yeah ... there are some mistakes in the anatomy, not to mention the colouring sucks (auugh can't do cel shading!) and don't even talk to me about the GRADIENT background! XD *falls off a cliff* ... but, uh, I kinda wanted to have an actual full-body pic of her in my gallery, just for reference. ^__^ I still haven't fully decided on her design. Might add some markings and such eventually, but this is what she looks like for now. Woo! Oh, and she's ... um ... a dragon. I guess. But she's kinda kangaroo-like in build :3

Jake by Fru

Mon, 05 Feb 2007 03:38:16 -0000

Done for Trading Post #2 at Artspots. =) This is Jake the blue jay, a mascot for a college. I don't actually know too much about the character, since the Trading Post was kind of a secret santa type thing this time around. But I like birds, so I had a go at Jake. It's a pencil sketch coloured in Photoshop; quite a few people have mistaken it for coloured pencils, but the colour is just Photoshoppage--the original is completely grayscale. Again, it's not as anthro-ish or cartoonish as I was going for. I'm going to have to work on that, though I enjoy the style I've got going right now too =P Disclaimer: Jake the blue jay is (C) to his creator (who I don't actually know, but whose name is Lauren, from what I have heard) and possibly the creator's college.

Seurat by Fru

Wed, 03 Jan 2007 06:48:47 -0000

This was done for Trading Post #1 over at the Artspots forum! It's Seurat the Cheetah, who is the head cheese of the place. :D It was originally going to be just a quick skecth, but I decided to fling some colour into it in Photoshop and I really like the way it turned out. Possibly not as anthro-ish as Seurat is usually depicted, but ah well. Disclaimer: This is not my character! Seurat is (C) to his creator from now until the end of time in general. :3
