Emails have been sent; as usual, please speak up if there is a problem.

What does everyone think about me sending out an email about 4 days before the end of the round to all people who have not submitted their art yet?

Uh, I don't think I have a comment...

I'll go and set up the next round now.

Actually finished before, but no internet connection the day before grrrrrr!

I drew Daaren for you.

The round ended yesterday, and of 7 people, 4 still haven't finished (or at least not submitted) their images... me included.
I guess I'll wait a bit, or the round will be friggin tiny. I'll start it as soon as I have time after Amy, FK and Hathor submit, or on Saturday morning European time, whatever's first.

I'm not sure I can finish my submission today or tomorrow, because I have to cram for an exam tomorrow in the late afternoon. Sorry, yet again. X(

Decided to draw DJ. Sorry for the boring pose.

Thought I'd post a bit earlier this month, to keep from forgetting it until next weekend.

I have art for you! Of Clay!

As I'll likely be making sponsor gifts for FurryCon, I took your piece as an opportunity to try out the materials, which were completely new to me.



Not under a cut since it's so tiny, and it's still magnified from its actual size.

It was supposed to be a cell phone charm, but I underestimated just how much the shrinky-dink type plastic would, well, shrink. So the hole you see is about half the size it would need to be to accomodate the cell phone charm ring thing.

I'll mail it to you if you send me your address. As it is the hole should be big enough for it to be stitched onto something; if you want me to I'll try to hunt down some wire thin enough to fit through the hole and attach it to the cell phone cord thing that way, totally up to you.

The lineart and the color are on opposite sides of the transparent plastic, which makes it look kind of weird in the scan, but looks really neat in person. I'll see if I can't get better results with a camera, when my dad gets home from his business trip so I might be able to borrow said camera.

So, emails for the June round are out.

Kuroiyousei is also still owed an image for the April round. I now emailed the assigned artist (sorry that took so long, I really dropped the ball there), but does anybody want to volunteer for the adoption? signup info here

Well, I wanted to draw something new, so I drew Kai being molested by a tentacle monster. ^_^

I'll go and set up the next round now.

Ack! Running late! Sorry about that -- stupid scanner computer is being a doo doo head.

Sorry, folks, but I'm sick and have trouble concentrating. I'll post things up in the next couple of days, when I can think better.

Sorry this came in a day late - I actually started it the day I got the assignment, but then life dumped a ton of crap on me (work, finals, family obligations I'm not told about until last minute, people seeming determined to make sure my cat runs off for good) and I didn't have time to work on it. In fact, I'd forgotten it was sitting there awaiting inking.

I managed to snatch some time Saturday to ink it but there wasn't time to put color on it, and yesterday more of those family obligations turned up so I couldn't get it scanned.

( Shashi meets his match? )

Shashi being a gate mage, I thought it could be pretty fun to have him run into my dimensional traveller and werewolf-hunter-of-sorts Lore Broadwing. It seems that they got off on the wrong foot - imagine magicky glow around Shashi's staff and Lore's free hand.

I may see if I can sneak the time to color this over the next month.

For Quoting Mungo for May. Sorry, this took a bit to color. Still on time, though.



Eyra and Vinnu are trappers of a rare and exotic animal -- Vinnu bashes their heads in and Eyra prepares the skins for sale. Here you see Eyra going over the skin of one after a hard day's work, while Vinnu rests. He's probably awake enough to be on guard in case trouble comes, but Eyra isn't a slouch at defending himself.

I actually used photo references for this. Problem is, I used me, when both Eyra and Vinnu are male and non-human. Eyra at least is about my height. Vinnu is 7 feet of pure muscle. But the poses, especially Eyra's crouch, were difficult enough I wanted a live model, even one that wasn't that well suited.

I also got to play with lighting. Setting the background dark really helped -- a lot of times the colors that looked best were the ones that had to be tweaked darker from the ones I first picked. Also with the light source in the picture, I had to remember that the shadows on Vinnu and his hammer were going to be different than the ones on Eyra.

To Audzilla: I am sorry for this round, I fell sick during the week end when I planned to draw so it ended up being a half-body picture... I drew Tani Thorne:

Got you this round. I did Ray this time around. Not sure what he's doing...but judging by the sad attempt at a BG I put in, he's watching his friend while said friend is coaching probably. I hope it's okay...I'm still a horrid human artist XD

Edit: Oh..and this is to the moderator...can I NOT be in the june round? I won't be at home for the second half of the month, and would be unable to finish a picture on time. Thanks!

Hey FK, I drew your Bella this month :) My month is being eaten up by wedding shenanigans, so it's a fairly simple image, but I hope you like it. It was fun to draw. :)

About a week until end-of month, and start of the next round.

I really apologise. I've learned that now, with my busier schedule, I don't have the time for so many art exchanges. When I pile them up, I end up becoming overwhelmed and my motivation cuts out. I go into an art block, and then it's hard to pick up again and draw anything like my best potential.

I'm going to cut some off. However, mrcaex is definitely my favourite art exchange, so you won't have to worry about me leaving :)


Without further ado, here is Penny Swift for kabaryu!
