The clean sketch for Don's portrait of Altaica is ready to go. Once I've got the all clear, inking will begin. She's been a pleasure to work with so far. I don't get to draw tigresses often.

That doesn't happen very often for me. So cool! I love when I can make a post about guest art, because it means I received art. Which, always makes me happy.

Today's piece is by Chris Paulsen, the creator of 'Precocious'.

Did you know Doodle has a pet rooster named Mr. Cluckinstein? She does. You'll meet him in Volume III. Or, maybe not. Seems poor Mr. Cluckinstein got a little too close to Max's sword. Noooooo! *laughs*



Chrispy is open for commissions throughout the month of May. Once May is over, he'll only be taking commissions at cons. So don't miss out!

You can find more of Chrispy's art at his deviantArt and Fur Affinity accounts. Thanks Chrispy!

If you'd like to share your CN:H art with us, please send it along and we'll post it on the blog and in the gallery. Nothing above a PG-13 rating, please. Thanks guys!

Hey guys! As always, Wednesdays are busy with personal activities. But, I do have some sketches to share. Just me working out pose ideas for Don's commission. The one on the top of page two is my favorite.





I've gotten into the habit of drawing everyone nude even if the final commission involves clothing. It's to help get the form down a bit, I swear.

In other news, my eyes are so tired! I had a contact follow-up evaluation today. Since I needed to have the contacts in at least four hours before the eval, I put them in at around seven this morning. And, I left them in until around six this evening. Hey, they weren't bothering me. So yes, eyes now very tired.

So far, everything looks good. Getting them in and out is becoming easier each day. I've been switched to a toric lens for the left eye which cut down on the blurriness considerably. I'm to try the new lens for a few days and, if all goes well, give them a call Friday to order the actual prescription. Woot! Though I will say, glasses feel strange after not wearing them all day. I'm starting to like not having metal and plastic sitting on the bridge of my nose. *grin*
