"Spirit-Cub" graphic pg. 1 of 6
So, this is a story that it took me most of the year to accomplish (although if I count up the actual amount of time spent on it, it's probably 5-6 weeks).  Melanie, who owns Newt (the little boy featured here), won this as a prize for completing comments for all of the art on the River Twine Holt s…

Easysinger's task here is making "travel-cakes", or pemmican -- a ground-up blend of suet, dried meat, and berries. It's kind of the primitive version of high-energy bars. You can find some pemmican recipes by clicking here, if you're REALLY curious. (I have to admit, I'd like to try making it.)

"Spirit-Cub" graphic pg. 3 of 6
Obviously, very indebted here to Wendy's depiction of the Palace; but all of the High Ones depicted are OCs.  The fellow in the middle, next to the wolf, is our tribe's equivalent of Timmain.

Originally (in my thumbnail layout sketches), I thought this would fit into a half-page panel!  HA HA! It w…

These are just a bunch of RTH ancestors, from the tribe's first generation.  So you've got some wolfblooded elves who still look very half-and-half wolfy (like the lady crouching by the kill), and some who are still pureblooded High Ones (like the fellow telling the story).  The Preservers in the lo…

(Note: I got admin permission to post 6 pages at once; this is an exception, as this 6-page story wasn't really meant to be broken up.)

The kids at the bottom are the tribe's current cubs (Copper, Cinder, Rill and Glow).

It should probably go without saying that in doing this project, I was indebted to plenty of references -- I looked at lots of bears, lots of wolves (primarily from Monty Sloan's site), lots of deer/elk (plus eagle…

High-and-Low
Finished this a few weeks ago actually.  This was done as an entry for the recent "Random Ancestors" contest at RTH -- character pairings were chosen at random, as were activities.  I got "Blacksnake and Beesting, playing a game".  We have a few established games, and this is one that hadn't been de…

Laluna, Terra and Marut
I did this (finally!) as a thank-you to Czarine for the great pic of Blacksnake that she did for me a while back.  I so strongly think of Laluna in relation to Terra and Marut that a group portrait seemed like a natural choice.

Illo for "Whirl-Stick"
An exercise in "win some, lose some". 

Did this as a trade for Emberra, and she suggested an illo for Whitney's story "Whirl-Stick".  Did you know that "boomerangs" are not exclusive to the Aborigine culture of Australia? It's true!  (I did not know this before.)  It's also true that not all boome…

Thank-You Sketch Dump: Bearclaw
I'm in a real slump right now and had trouble coming up with something for this, but I definitely wanted to contribute.  It doesn't help that I don't typically just do casual sketches, so I didn't really have anything to hand.  Thanks to Maggie for helping me focus!  I wound up doing a quick Bearcla…

Nastybad snappy-chase growler!
We just finished having a contest at RTH involving Preservers, and I owed an art-trade to Razzle, who owns Chicory, and who alerted me to the fact that Chicory's wolf-friend likes chasing Preservers.  Voila, contest idea! It's kind of a pity you can't see the expression on the small orange and yello…

Evervale and Halfmoon
Done as a trade for Mist-eyes, who owns Evervale now at RTH.  I wanted to do something with her hunting (as I enjoy depicting characters who are seldom seen hunting doing it; Evervale has primarily been seen as a plantshaper), and to show her wolf.  We are coming up on the time when the alpha of our…

Bonus Art: Snapper
So, we needed bonus art to go along with my Young Bearclaw, and I thought it would be more fun to do a wolf than another elf.  Aside from Blackfell of course (who is associated with later-period Bearclaw anyway), I felt like Snapper stood out as a great wolf-character from the "Wolfrider!" series.  …

Bonus Art: Chitter
Did this quickly as bonus art for the 2012 calendar.  I wanted to do Chitter a little older than we last saw her in The Discovery -- age 5-7 perhaps, so this outfit is based on her "baby" outfit, but modified.

Brush-pen inks, Copic markers, effects in PS.

River Twine 2012 Calendar - November
River Twine Holt has once again done a calendar, for 2012 (all art viewable here).  I had to fill in for November.  

So here are (clockwise from upper right): Dreamflight, Newt, Beetle (and her wolf-friend Rooter), Rill, and Cinder, trying to get a look at some screech-owls whose nest-hole has be…

Done as part of the RTH Secret Santa this year, for Rainpace's owner Peggy (Saree, here) -- an illo for her story, "Changes".

Pentel Pocket-Brush Pen inks, Copic marker Coloring, effects in PS. Wolf reffed from various sleeping-wolf pics.
