Muscid Draconis by Amy Pronovost
Mouse dragons! How can you not love 'em? Very nice color work, too. The "beads" border must have been a lot of work!

C Eagle by Cara Mitten
Nifty avian 'furry' design, that gets bonus points for being a pic of somebody I know. :) Lots of detail.

I've been busy, but Yerf has not particularly, so there are only a few "catch-up" pieces.

Puppy Love by Mary Lai (Kitsumi)
All I can say is "Awwwww!"

A Lion for Tursi by Brenda DiAntonisD'Aww, he's cute. :) I'm always impressed when somebody gets the eyepatches ... as you may have noticed, I rarely do them myself. I know they're there -- it's ( Read more... )

Trickster by Stina Lovkvist
Autumn leaves, a deep forest, a fox with a roguish look ... what's not to love? My only gripe is that I can't decisively tell the gender.

Yay, cheesecake! I need to improve my own skills in this department. Nice energy, very good anatomy work, fun sense of character.

Bonus Honorable Mention: Monster Thank-You

Dancing Elephants by Meaghan Arbital
Lots of energy and character! So much of the stuff on Yerf is angsty squiggles or snarly demon gargoyles with sharp corners, that whenever I see happy, 'toony stuff, I instinctively cheer!

For a while, I was seeing various folks on my friends list post "VCL Pick of the Day" links; I can't look at VCL while I'm at work, however, but thankfully Yerf lives again. :) And as I want to get back into sprucing up my art a bit (it's been kinda sub-par lately) I am attempting to get back into studying other people's work for both techniques ( Read more... )

More thoughts on Yerf's absence, and on art communities in general. One of my all-time favorite things about Yerf was that there was always something new to be found, by simply clicking on the "Recent Uploads" page. Given Yerf's fairly stringent (if sometimes unevenly-distributed) requirements, you could generally be confident that the stuff that ( Read more... )
