Many people know me for the artistic person that I am. I don't know where I would be without my sketches. Unfortunately, I don't have a scanner, so I can't prove anything to you. I enjoy scribbling with my two favorite paint programs, PSP 5, and of course MS Paint. Unfortunately, I'm no good at it.

Well anyway, I sometimes do get a nice sketch once in a while. I also often explore some of the options in PSP (since I don't really know my way around it). With all my experiments, I do once in a while get one worth keeping, so I like to show them off :)

By the way, even though not many of these pictures are woth more than beans, please don't take, or render them anyway. Its really disrespectful, since it did take me a bit of effort to get them done. Now that we've got that cleared, you may go on, thankyooverymuch

**PSP scribbles**

Okay, for the first exibit, I'll show you one of my newest experiments...

Well I was browsing through the art tutorail at Adventures In Nornsitting just the other day. Not really reading it thoroughly, just browsing through. Earlier today, i opened up PSP to a picture of a plain brown norn. Interested in what I could, make of it, I played around with the 'colorize' function. That and the Freehand. This is what I got in result.

Then I wanted to see what else I could do. I played around with some more colors in different areas, in different patterns, on different creatures.

Lovely, aren't they? Wouldn't they look astonishing in the game itself? If I knew anything about sprite creation or whatever you need to make a breed, maybe I'd do something about it. Heh, if it inspires you to make something, please, go ahead, but if you do, at least give me 'inspiration credit' :)

Ettin Angels

I'm sure you've noticed this one in my Title, right? Its rather eye-catching. I created this little girl to symbolyze the 'angel' aspect on the main page. I really like this picture, it turned out really well.

Well then I felt like playing around with PSP

Those are a few of my favorites :) Fairly simple, those are just options like 'find edges', 'greyscale', etc.

The English Setter

I didn't feel like going online yet, so I opened up PSP and began scribbling...

Okay, so the spots show up green (they were tan when it was a bmp), and so it looks physically more like an Irish Setter, it was worth the effort. It is rudimentary, I'll admit, but I still like it :)

The Kerry Blue Terrier

I needed an excuse not ot do homework, and so this worked fine:

You can compare that one to the one at AKC.org and you'll notice that they're quite different. Oh well, though my goal was to create one like that, the picture I used as a reference was quite different. I bet you couldn't draw one like that }:)

**MS Paint Scribbles**

My first exibit in this section is an attempt to make a Bluetic Coonhound

I'm not sure as to whether this has anything to do with my story, but this is...well, what it is. It doesn't look like a Bluetic coonhound. It looks like a Coonhound, but not the Bluetic variety. Physically, they're more slender, they have longer tails, the back is rather arched, and they have shallower chests, and more tuck-up. This looks more like a Black-and-Tan Coonhound if you ask me. Well, go ahead and ask me to explain something dog-related, and you'll get a whole essay *sigh*

Here's a pic I was inspired to draw long ago...

I don't remember how I got into the horse-drawing mood, but the ruseluts are gorgeous. In my opinion, this is the best of my MS Paint sketches. I could never draw horses, they were always just too hard. this one, though not perfect, looks very good compared to some of my others. I also made a Shire, similar to this one, but it looks horrid compared. I don't know if I can beat this one. It could definitely use a couple tweaks here and there, but I still like it :D

This here is Wally the Walrus

Remember i mentioned that dogs and cats aside, the Walrus is my favorite animal? That it is, and demonstrated here is creative boredom. Mine that is :)

I've not much comment on this one:

I was trying to make a rough ideal (to the standard), rather than focusing in the hair, and shading, and other attributes. Well the tail is set incorrectly, and so are the forelegs, and the pom-poms are incorrectly formed. Other than that the hind leg should be set farther back. All that aside, it is fairly an 'ideal' from my point of view...
