| An arabian stallion pacing. (Done in pencil on parchment.) |
| Another pretty arabian mare wading through a shallow pond on a breezy day. (Done in pencil on linen-textured paper.) |
| A tribute to my dear, sweet bald iggle friend Lanakila. (Done in pencil.) |
| A study of fox heads. (Done in pencil.) |
| Hoarfrost, a unicorn character from a book I've been planning to write. (Done in pencil on textured paper.) |
| Herne, the antlered celtic deity, holding his enchanted staff, surrounded by his wolves, with his dragon on his shoulder, his hunting horn and lyre hung by his side and snow-covered Stonehenge in the background. (Done in pencil.) |
| "Me, Myself and I": A self-portrait plus a couple of alter-egos. (Done in charcoal.) |
| An elf character from a book I've been planning to write. He's mourning over the death of his pony--his beloved friend and the only companion he had left in the world. He had already lost his gyrfalcon friend, whose spirit still hovers protectively near--as can be implied by the falcon's head shape in the tree branches. (Done in pencil.) |
| The gryphon is Sperrylite and the faun is Feldspar (yes, he's wearing a dragonskin cloak and his horn is sticking out of the ear); they are companions in a book I'm writing. (Done in pencil.) |
| A full body study of Feldspar...Rather dashing, I think. ;) (Done in pencil.) |
| Feldspar again, a headshot this time. Can you tell I had a crush on him? ;) (Done in pencil; paper sustained some water damage.) |
| Back view of a sileness, built like a faun, but with horse hindparts. (Done in pencil). |
| Sketchbook pencil drawing done at AC for someone, but I can't recall who. |

| Sketch doodle for Kamaria, when she came over for a visit. (Sepia filter digitally added.) |
| A little gift sketch I did for Joon and Wolftale during a furmeet we had at our house. They are both "folfs" (fox-wolf hybrids), she being an artic fox/arctic wolf and he a red fox/grey wolf. |
| A gift sketch for Mran (a friend of my husband's). He's a somali tomcat. |
| A quick little furmeet sketch of Yami's fursona, which is part wolf, part arctic fox, and mostly snow leopard. (Pose based on the cougar sketch from J.C. Amberlyn's "Drawing Wildlife" book, and sepia filter was digitally added.) |
| Snowelf (a winged, elf/lynx "sphynx") keeps silent watch over her domain, perched in a tall, massive pine that overlooks her beloved Northern forest. (Sepia filter digitally added.) |
