Blue - ATC by Zyleeth

Sun, 16 Nov 2008 21:25:14 -0000

My very first ATC card! I happened to find some at Hobby Lobby so I pounced. I used my old Gouache set that I never even opened. So two firsts in one go. <3 Blue is Dozaloz's creation! Her ATCs are almost as amazing as she is.

The Feather Mage by Zyleeth

Sun, 02 Nov 2008 01:54:54 -0000

Gift for my boyfriend. :} The crazy light source was very difficult to manage, critique is always welcome. The anatomy is slightly better than what I usually do because I drew it on paper first, then colored digitally! Its easier for me to draw with pencil and paper than it is on a tablet.

Descent by Zyleeth

Fri, 24 Oct 2008 19:23:30 -0000

I thought of this neat critter in my head the other day. You can't go wrong with yellow and violet. Just some strange armored corvid beast plunging down and taking the evening with him.

Snowy Egret by Zyleeth

Thu, 23 Oct 2008 01:33:25 -0000

Meh. Something I was hoping to turn into a proper painting but I'm just not liking it so I gave up. Very undetailed, kind of quick.

Emergence by Zyleeth

Fri, 17 Oct 2008 22:58:45 -0000

Color experiment numbah two! The awesome Blackmane/Dustwing/Pyre gave me a color experiment to do, and helped me out along the way. :) Much thanks to her once again! I could fix this one more, but I'm happy with how it is. I'll just keep working on other things. So here's Allygryph shyly venturing from her forest. For the curious: she's a mourningdove/doe gryphon.

Dustwind by Zyleeth

Wed, 15 Oct 2008 23:56:40 -0000

I was going to wait until she was able to get back to me on another piece of mine, but I got too excited to not post this now. XD A gift for Dustwing/Blackmane/Pyre for her help and critique lately. I tried to apply what I'd learned from her in this piece, and I figured what better subject to use than her own dragon character? ;)

Where Cougars Roam by Zyleeth

Tue, 07 Oct 2008 23:12:29 -0000

A gift for my mother for her birthday. She wanted me to draw her a cougar for her classroom. This is pretty speedy, I kind of wish I had more time to work on it. Many references were used.

The Starry Place by Zyleeth

Sun, 24 Aug 2008 06:37:32 -0000

Commission for Kitoxa! Not taking any more at the moment with classes starting back up again. I don't know what I was thinking with the background other than that one scene from Pirates of the Caribbean and some other weird thing. I sat here for 15 minutes trying to come up with a title because I suck. XD
