To Fly…

You can do it, Mr. Beaverton! Just believe!

I'm getting a little teary-eyed...

I re-jigged this painting from one I did a few years ago.  Seeing the change is pretty neat–the original looked more like a falling groundhog than a flying beaver :D

Not just PAWSed, but at an end

Yes, what I had long suspected has now become official: PAWS is cancelled.

It’s sad that it will never be released, as it was a fun game and with more time put into I think it would have made quite a spiffy game; however time is a resource that is in scarce supply.  To find out more about what happened you can read Lemmy101′s blog entry about it (it’s more to do with his and CaptainBinky’s experience with another project, but it does go into why PAWS is not possible).

On a more positive note, I did learn quite a bit from the experience (my first runcycles, tiles, and more), enjoyed working on it, and I’m hoping to use the sprites I worked on in another project so it won’t be a complete loss :)   I may release some more art later on, but for now here are two character portraits from the selection screen of Mr. Spiffo, the sly raccoon, and Pancake, the cheerful hedgehog:

Differing Opinions on Rainy Days

I’ve been a bit lazy about drawing lately, but finally took the plunge again a couple of days ago :)

It’s a sad state of affairs that overprotective/fussy fairy owners make their pet frogs miss out on the chance of playing in the rain because they don’t want them getting wet ;)  Click on the pick for a bigger version!

The Strawberry Head Man Returneth

In a shocking turn of events, I did finish cleaning up the man with the strawberry head.

His eating habits remain… peculiar.  Some might even say unsettling ;)

Can I Get a Couple of Hands, Here?

…Ahh, there they are.

My hand felt a bit gnarled after modelling for this one.

And it’s surprisingly hard to hold a pointing gesture.  A good reason for people not to jump to conclusions and start pointing fingers willy-nilly ;)

The Most Beautiful Fanart (in this post)

Just finished the second season of Flight of the Conchords in a day long binge, and have Bret and Jemain <3 to spare ;)  So, fanart!

Overdue Monkeys

Not that the monkeys are overdue, just the post.  In fact, not even the post, as these were for a baby shower that happened just last week.  The blog, I suppose ;)  I hope to fix that soon!

Too many to fit in a barrel, though I did try that

All A-gaga-og

Sorry ;)

Not a fan of Lady Gaga, but I found her new video strangely interesting, and made a quick painting.

Not intended to really be a likeness, by the way.
