My submission for the Feb Art Compo. The theme is to Make a Book Cover.

I think the picture explains it all ^^

I don't know if you've noticed, but I can't shade. I've tried lotsa times, but any attempts usually end up with me getting mad at whatever I was drawing, and doing away with it. That's what happened seconds earlier here. Ink used to try shading, shading goes wrong, ink gets splotched and dumped all over project....which, in this case, was Art. This leads to very unhappy Gatomon, which is never a good thing...

Yeah, sorry Art. In more ways than one ^^;;

I think the ballon says it all ^^

Aww! I LOVE the Chibi Arty doll hanging from the string! *hugz it*

Oroko went back home. That's his hand from the left, and mine (complete with sleeve from realm-traveler's robes) on the right. Looking all Sistine Chapel-like....or E.T.-ish, whichever you prefer :P

Inspired by the current Compo. Not FOR, but INSPIRED BY. See, I would enter it...but it's crap, and so are my CG skills ^^;;;

Fursona(s) old and new! Day-um my Gato form is short oO;;;;...Never noticed that before...

Drawn out of continuity, BTW. And I'm pretty sure I spelled that wrong.

And the award for Most Original Filename ever goes to........this picture!

Is this off-topic? I dunno o.o; Anyway, it's "M", a Moogle girl. Literally. The ears, wings, and bonbon are real folks. Created her on the fly for an RP the other night. I love doing one-minute characters :D But I did this pic after her creation. Not as a char pic, but for a contest at an mb I frequent.

Kupo!

Unofficial A to Z comic, which is currently on hiatus.

Filename make ya think it was a yiff pic? Well Nyah to all you dirty-minded people (my peers XD )

I love the last panel XD Cloud's my fav FF7 character, but I love poking fun at him. And apparently he likes poking back XD

Think you have a strong stomach? Spend a day with a pregnant woman in craving-mode XD >)

A couple questions: What kinda resteraunt serves ice cream in paper cups, and with coffee beans and potato chips? And--I didn't think of this until AFTER drawing, as per usual--why is an ice dragon wearing a turtleneck? Ah, life's little mysteries...

Whee, we walk stiff-legged! :D :P

ArtyZumi - Furcadia style! ^^ The picture itself took me 4-6 hours to do, though the design took me around half an hour or so. Before you ask, yes, one of my alts on Furc is "ArtyZumi" Anyway, I was thinking about putting this up on Furbid, but I dunno if I can part with it. It's one of my rare pics I'm genuinely proud of.

Exactly what the filename says it is; practice. Of course, it's not until AFTER scanning that I discover I left out an ear. And the tail....again.

Out to do a bit of shopping. Shopping for what, you ask? Things :P

Look what I dug up! Another Christmas pic. And I think Santa's found himself a new reindeer XD It's a good look for Oroko, lol. He's painted brown and tan instead of green and cream, btw.

Filename is from a song I was listening to while I drew it, lol. I don't even know who sung it ^^;;

This is SORTA a sketch, but I thought it was polished enough to upload to my main gallery. 'Sides, it only MIGHT be considered a sketch 'cause I'm thinking of redoing it.

My Christmas picture ^^ I did a whole bunch, but wasn't happy with any of them. Then I did this one. It's (I think) a nice little scene. Too bad I can never do a pic like the ones I've got in my head :\

I've got "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer" stuck in my head ^^;;;

Merry Christmas Everyone =^^=

SpyroStyle Colored Version 2 out of 2

This is one I did with colored pencils. The scan is a bit lighter than the actual pic, but it still looks good. I think I like this one better than my CGed one.

SpyroStyle Colored Version 1 out of 2. I did this one in GIMP, erasing the gems and putting in a Sparx-like critter instead (actually, just an excuse to use one of my fav lighting effects :P). I love how I did the horns and the little tail fan thing.

2 of 2 coming soon, later on today probably, once I scan it ^^;;

Taking a page from another artist's book, this is my fursona in Spyro style, as the file name suggests. I think I did pretty good ^^ Normally I suck at imitating other styles.

Ya know, with the exception of maybe one or two dragons, I don't really remember any white dragons in the Spyro games :\ Well, in the ones I've played, anyway ^^; (1 and 3)

Color version planned

Yeowch! That'll leave a mark...What'd he say? Teasingly (though that wasn't how it was taken) he said "You look like you swallowed a basketball!" After getting hit, Art said "Now you look like a basketball was glued to your head!" and stormed off

Hmm, starting to get a bit round there, without any changes in diet...

Puny ^^' 64x64 av for a furry forum I recently joined.

Image © ArtyZumi Productions 2002

I think the picture explains it all :P

One thing I couldn't fit on there was that even though there are stretches of time when I don't update, now I have a good, solid reason for not doing so ^^;;;

MIA=Missing In Action, btw :P

Done on the computer, can ya tell? :P

Okay, to put aside any speculation anyone might've had before this, I am a winter/snow/ice dragon. One reason my scales are white :P I am using winter magic (hence the name of pic). Probably to get a snow day or something >)

One more bit of speculation: When you see me wearing that red coat, that IS all I am wearing >)

I am not nuts! *looks around defensively* Okay, so I am, but that's beside the point ^^;; This is just something I drew while listening to Yuffie's Theme on my FF7 soundtrack. Forgive the crappiness, but 1) it was spontaneous (and I don't draw well on the comp) and 2) I was using MS Paint ^^;; Otherwise, I think it's cute! =^^= No, that isn't actually Yuffie, just some furry fan half-assedly dressed as her, skipping down the road to the young ninja's theme.

Color version of the pic of Leila's new look.

Leila © ArtyZumi Productions, 2002

Tattoo in the center of Leila's back. Need I say more?

© ArtyZumi Productions 2002

Closer shot of Leila's left wing. Don't ask what happened to the tip; she doesn't like to talk about it. She can still fly, though - the leftmost stitch acts as a normal wing-tip, so anything beyond it is just loose skin.

© ArtyZumi Productions 2002

I have decided to give Leila a new look. Man, I love this outfit ^^ Also, I've made her wings resizable (she can grow them and shrink them at will). Pictured is the normal size.

All the bat anthros get the cool outfits :P I'd have a bat form.....if I didn't already have a dragon and Gatomon form ^^;;;;;....

Leila © ArtyZumi Productions, 2002

One of my personal fav pictures ^^ Nameless wolf half-assed dressed as a mummy, and fursona half-assed dressed as a skeleton. Scarecrow from Nightmare Before Christmas.

Happy Halloween everybody!!! =^-^=

Jack-Bat's giving me singing lessons! If you wanna keep your ears, RRRRRUUUUUNNNN!!!!!!

LoL :P Actually, I can sing very well. I'm just getting a few tips from a guy I can imitate. Yes, I, an 18 year old female, can sing as deep as the Pumpkin King. No flash photography, please >P

I forgot a few lines ^^;; Oops. And Jack-Bat may lose the lines around his mouth in the future.
