Admit it. I'm the fastest request finisher in the land.

Stumpy's Fright (Darigan Bori)
The sketch itself is probably the very oldest of that whole group I took back in... last winter. I kept it around in partially finished form with the vague hope that I'd be magically shot with the inspiration beam and redo the entire bloody thing. Fright is an awesome bori with an awesome design and I wanted way more than this out of the picture but it's gotten to the point that I'm vaguely being forced to clean my computer out. I had six, count 'em six, PSD files corrupt outright two weeks ago and I'm still not sure why. No viruses, my drives are happily defrag'd, I reinstalled both my old and new version of photoshop and it's just gone to all hell to ensure I don't get my days worth of work back.
(Oh ho, but I did! In a way. Next picture, yush.)
So here's Fright, looking very green, very out of proportion, and very kinda sorta generally bad. I'msorryStumpy, Istillloveyourbori.
I am entirely incapable of figuring out a way to realism-ism bori anatomy. The front legs just sort of earn a 'guhhhwellgeeGOLLY' response every damn time I try to piece them together.
LEARNING EXPERIENCE.
Seerow's StormFox (Island Bori)
Congratulations, dearest StormFox Ye Ole Purdy Bori, you've just won a very awesome corrupted image.
Yeah. That kinda miffed me off after I spent as much time as I did being obsessive over the clouds. You'll find I like oceans- haven't been to one since I was seven but darned if I don't like painting back-drop-like objects of them!
This time I actually like the lighting and the shading and I'd have been such a happy camper (aside from The Anatomy and Proportions We Do Not Speak Of)... but y'know, Adobe pulled the "Gosh, I can't open that!" trick so I pulled out my magical Advanced PSD recovery program and slapped it hard.
Still has 'demo' written all over it and yes... is not finished. Once I fork out enough moonies to pay for the full program, I'll finish the shading and the details and the taaaail. And the other leg. I did not spend that much time shading to give in to my computer's cranky issues. Free request or not.
Island Acara
Mm, fresh off the acara day rejection road. And it's toothless! Mmm'nom, mashed taters tonight. And I still really like oceans. Toomuch.
... And that's all for now. I'd include other recent WIPs but I'm not out to test Neocolour's text limits with my Pred hyper typer moment. (And they're mostly all fan-esque pets anyway. No one wants to see those ugly things. Much less any more of my italic abuse.)
