      <title>Shatter Logo by chlorophyta</title>
      <description>I did this to use in my portfolio stuff as a logo or theme. Thiel had suggested that we start 'branding' ourselves right away, so that clients can start associating our names with our art, that's important. Everything has this on it- my business card, my self-promo stuff, my letterhead, and my portfolios have it on every page, along with a handwritten 'signature.' It's not actually my signature, because my real signature's illegible, but I did write my name in brushpen in my 'legible' handwriting. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://nevar.artspots.com/image/3589/shatter-logo"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.artspots.com/files/image/file/3589/thumb_210/shattercolorfinweb.jpg" alt="Thumbnail" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Medium: marker and an inking pen&lt;br /&gt;Tags: cat green feline cheshire grin shatter&lt;br /&gt;</description>

      <media:description>Chrysanthemum, a North American river otter diving down to a lake bed, discovering a surprised crayfish on the lake bottom...

Chrysanthemum is copyright C. Bre'gea

Done in inks and acrylic paints on 9"x12" illustration board.

Oh, how I adore underwater scenes =).  I did take some artistic liberties with the foliage, as I'm not all that familiar with lake plants.</media:description>

      <title>Fight for Freedom by Kacey</title>
      <description>A commissioned mock WWII recruitment poster, featuring Abe the squirrel, who is copyright his player.  The poster is based on an actual WWII era poster, visible here: http://www.wwii-collectibles.com/Merchant2/graphics/00000001/uspaf221.jpg

This was a lot of fun for me, because it is a very different graphic style, and it was fun to try to draw the character in the style of the time.

Note also that the signature is dated '43 instead of '07 ^.^ Just for fun.  


Done with ink, acrylics and watercolors on 9"x12" illustration board.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://kacey.artspots.com/image/4797/fight-for-freedom"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.artspots.com/files/image/file/4797/thumb_210/fight_for_freedom.jpg" alt="Thumbnail" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Medium: ink, acrylics, watercolors&lt;br /&gt;Tags: squirrel flight poster wwii abe Jet Plane airplane figher&lt;br /&gt;</description>

      <title>Lackadaisy Voodoo by Tracy Butler</title>
      <description>Mordecai, Serafine and Nico. I hadn't done any proper color work with this group yet, so I decided to do a little poster-style illustration involving the three of them.  That's not Serafine's usual getup - I suppose she can't pass up the opportunity to get dolled up for a special occasion, though.  She's dressed as her personal version of a Voodoo mambo.
The image was sketched in pencil and painted with a tablet and Photoshop.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://tracyjb.artspots.com/image/2467/lackadaisy-voodoo"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.artspots.com/files/image/file/2467/thumb_210/voodoo.jpg" alt="Thumbnail" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Medium: digital&lt;br /&gt;Tags: lackadaisy cats voodoo Guns gangsters&lt;br /&gt;</description>

      <title>a lot of alex by louvelex</title>
      <description>so here's a big mix up of all the pictures i've done of alex recently. because of that scruffy face and indeterminate age, i'm still having a hard time figuring out how to make her look just right. well i shouldn't say hard- i really like drawing her :]
newest ones in top left and top right (fuzzy hat!). different scarves because i couldn't find my purple marker and wouldn't mind mixing up her scarf every now and then anyway.

i'm at home right now &lt;3

i left the window in because...uh, it was part of one of the groups of sketches and i kind of like it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://louvelex.artspots.com/image/2205/a-lot-of-alex"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.artspots.com/files/image/file/2205/thumb_210/alex-1.jpg" alt="Thumbnail" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Medium: brush pen, gel pen, pen&lt;br /&gt;Tags: character Alex mutt terrier&lt;br /&gt;</description>
