My part of this month's Xchange. It's Rianne2k8's character Noor.



Background elements taken from William Morris' "Windrush".

Here's my belated part for Alector. I'm really sorry it's that late. ._."
Drawing with water colours is funny. x3

Hope you like it.. in real the colours look much better.

I really need to learn how to scan properly...

Not too late yet, I hope ^.^; I did Kata's character Dijani for this month. Tried to add a bit of speckle for her scales shining through the fur, as I thought this was a lovely idea. Hope you like it!

Well, though I am a moderator,  I am not a good example of being on time XD But I am not late, lol. Here´s my card for Ashalind, very cool character!

Hello members!

As I promised, I´ve settled up a new group on dA especially for our Xchange.
You can take a look here and Join us for sure!:) http://aceofursxchange.deviantart.com/

More infomations can be found in it´s blog or "About us" section.

Looking forward to see you there!:)

Of course I left it till the last minute. :) I really like that kind of scratchy/messy look that some people like to add to their paintings.

There are artists who have signed for February´s trade. If there is any mistake or someone is missing, please let me know as soon as possible! :) If you are signed and you still haven´t finished your part for January ( noone this time! ), hurry up! There are only 3 days left.

Finally, I'm getting back to shape. Let's hope I'll be sooner next month.




I chose Zowolf's Zion. And since there are last remnants of snow from our extremely snowy winter, I chose to go on with that.

Watercolors, colored pencils, Sakura marker... and salt (makes an interesting sparkly effect on the background). Duh, need a new scanner. Original's way better.

Thank you all for telling me your opinions. Your posts were mostly positive. And from what I´ve read some of you even could be more productive on dA :D so I´ll create and prepare this special club for you. Once it´s ready I´ll let you know :)

Like some of you asked, I´ll keep this livejournal alive too and post here all of my usual entries. After few months we´ll see if it´s still necessary and we can possibly relocate it to dA completely. Or at worst I´ll have to delete that dA club and we will stay here forever XD

That´s all for now, have a great time!

P.S. Any suggestions are welcome!

I´ve got an idea about relocation of our club from Livejournal to a DeviantART group. Let me explain...

DeviantART announced their new Group system several weeks ago and I´ve already had a chance to test it. It has many beatiful features - own gallery with folders, system for inviting new members, each member can post a journal there, add his finished cards and browse others. Admin has perfect control about everything and he can have also moderator(s) to help him and much more. Everything is simple and well arranged (at least for me). I think we would be also more visible there for other artists and could easier find some new talented members to join us.

If you still don´t know what I am talking about, take a look here for an example of such a club: http://draci-info.deviantart.com/

I know that most of our members have a DeviantART account, maybe more than those who have a Livejournal but I am not really sure about that. Just for information I have a LJ account only beacuse of this club and I am not doing anything else here - most of my time on the net I spend on DeviantART. Important to mention is, that you´ve never needed to have this LJ account to be a regular member. All important communication has been done through e-mails and that would stay the same. You wouldn´t have to create a dA account because of this change.

If this would happen, I´d never delete this beatiful Livejournal history of course and all of the club rules would stay the same. Club would be still for invited artists only.

I´d give it a go but it´s only up to you, members. Please tell me what you think and make it longer than yes/no, I want to know your opinions :)

Thank you! <3

I haven't drawn that many big cats before, so a lion/tiger mix was difficult for me.  I hope you like it though, I really tried! ;;

I felt like drawing the cute version of Guretton relaxing outside on the grass.
I hope you like it! I love your card so much by the way <3

Done with my trade with Pannya!



Hurrr I know I'm really early but I was inspired XD

Hope you like it! ^^

Oops! Almost late this month. I'm terribly sorry for both the wait and the crappy photo. That's all I have currently available. Once I get back home (which should be January 2nd), I'll add a better version.)

P.S. Been tempted to do the peacock. But I failed to catch the head properly ._.
