Okay, Blue Jay

A puppy (not RK this time, an anonymous yellow lab) tries to play fetch with a blue jay on a nice day. Baseball season is here.

The sleuths among you might recognize that the Blue Jays are Toronto's baseball (they play in the AL East, along with the Yankees, Red Sox, Rays and Orioles). The pic here is a play on their theme song chorus (appearing during the seventh inning stretch): "OK Blue Jays / Let's Play Ball!".

I decided to paint this one for a change... Seem to be getting the hang of it in parts, but looks like I'll need a bit more practice before I'll make it look as good as my digital works (which also get proper shadows on them).

When Canines Join Picket Lines

RK goes on strike, demanding tummyrubs as compensation for doggy things. Despite his low demands on the wage front, he looks kinda cute waiting for one of those bellyscritches.

I was originally going to try inking this in InkScape (i.e. using vectors), but gave up when I realized I'd have better control of the final image in my usual program. The picket sign was still done over there (and I have more of them!), and was fun to mess around with.

Hidey hole

After climbing through a portable hole, RK peels it off the wall to hide away.

This is a badge concept for FE 2011; as the theme is "wild magic", my 'sona is a toon, and toon physics is a type of magic… I figured this would be an appropriate way to fit into that theme.

Not shown is the hole for the string, as it would appear on this image as a white slot in a distracting position; the string hole is to be placed in the black of the portable hole, thus hiding it against my (usually black) shirt.

All that's left to do is print it out, cut it to shape, laminate it, and get the string…

Play?

A yellow toller pup wants to play; he's even offering a choice of game. You can play tug, squeakyball fetch, frisbee, or bone fetch.

After lounging around for a few days, dealing with the remnants of a cold and a chronic case of artist's block, I finally got around to making something.

Relaxed

RK relaxes in front of an abstract background. Made some tweaks to my style, and shrank the sideburn so I could use the cheeks to enhance the facial expression.

Planning to use this pic as the background to my main website
