Belated birthday pic for :iconthedogwhitatail:.

I asked him what he might like for his B-Day and his response was to have Carmelita Fox dancing with his fursona Rick. Meanwhile Sly Cooper looks on super jealous.

Talk about an alternate way to go about Sly 2: Band of Thieves. If Rick's fursona got to dance with Ms. Fox instead of Sly; not only would Sly be super jealous but also the whole operation to steal the Clockwerk Wings would be a bust. XD
Well...Neylas seems interested. Who knows how this might've turned out.....Probably the same. She intended to betray Sly this whole time. XD

Still good on your Ricky boy for managing to woo a finicky foxy. XD

Hope your birthday was a good one.

Thief of Virtue

As I had promised to :iconconnordavidson:; I created a picture commemorating his feat of finishing his 'Thief of Virtue' comic. This massive undertaking of his took quite a few years to complete.

As one who knows what time and dedication is needed to complete such a work; I am impressed he saw it through to the end. Of all my time here on Deviantart I only completed one comic story of my own; based off TUFF PUPPY not so much Sly. (That being 'The Most Dangerous Blame.')

Dangerous Blame was about seventy-eighty pages. Connor's was well over four hundred by the time it was completed.
So congratulations on seeing it through to the end.
And to anyone out there ambitious enough to create their own epic fan comic; if you see it through to the end you earn my upmost respect for it too. For something as long and ambitious as 'Thief of Virtue' I see it as something I can relate to in wanting to see my own epic yarns coming to their conclusion while gathering my own fans old and new to be inspired by it.

So this pic's for you :iconconnordavidson:. I do hope you enjoy it! Congratulations on reaching the end. Best of luck to your future endeavors. :3
The beginning of 'Thief of Virtue' can be found here. You'll notice quite an increase in art quality over time as you read through it; which I recommend you do.
Sly Cooper: Thief of Virtue Page 1 by ConnorDavidson

Anyways; the structure of the characters are as follows:
In the top tier we have the main villains of the story: Drake being the most prominent holding three crystals in his hand; with what appears to be Clockwerk to his left in the BG and his own dark alter ego on the right.
From left to right in descending order are Drake's main villainous henchmen. His own 'Fiendish Five' is you will.
Colonel Zahn in the top left; Lady Venom right below. Then to her right is Cesar Deroque, Kevin Turbo and Master Kre. Kre kind of became an after thought so sorry he looks like crap. XD Sorry Kevin's hand flashing the piece sign looked weird too. But I'm actually quite pleased how Cesar turned out. Lookit him dead center though. You think he's the leader. XD

At the bottom is the Cooper gang itself. Murray, Bentley, Sly and Carmelita. I had to add the Sly logo above them; there was empty space between them and the villains and it looked terrible. Guess I needed better planning. Well....At least it's a nice fitting center piece to connect them together. (I guess :B)

To the Gang's left and right are other allies/enemies that the Cooper gang encountered throughout the story while trying to stop Drake and his minions. Ice the red haired ninja squirrel and below her Vick Dodger who is Drake's Number 2. (Heh heh...Number 2. ;3) To the right is Director Dominic Taurus and below him the insecure (yet strangely well built) Eddard Grey...More commonly known as Ned. (In that description alone it almost seems like I described Ned Flanders. Sorry Connor. XD)
Taurus I was particularly proud of with that huge profile of his looking deep into thought. I say he's among my favorite designs of the fan heroes/villains used in the story. He really looks like he fits into the Sly universe.

But there you have it. :3 It was fun doing this project.

Oh....And for those who might want me to do something with their OCs, it all depends. I did this because for one artist to complete something like this is impressive and I admire that. There are other ambitious artists and writers out there with their own ideas. Showing your enthusiasm and dedication just my inspire me to make something like this too; particularly if it's a fan comic.

Today is my sweetheart's birthday! :3 :love::love::love:

So I combined two of her favorite things to give her a nice little token of my affections for her as she turns another year older: Toothpick and budgies.
(Sweets, if you want this budgie to be your own pet budgie so be it. ;D)

Budgies are indeed adorable and playful birds. Like feathered children. XD I was shown a video of one hanging upside down on a man's hat demanding his attention.
So I applied this to Toothpick as this budgie leans over Toothpick's cowboy hat to nuzzle his big nose.
Toothpick doesn't know what to quite make of this at the moment. XD

Happy Birthday :iconverona7881:. ^^ My budgie loving girl. =^^= :kiss::love::kiss:

New partners and apprentices can be really hard to handle sometimes. As if Carmelita has enough issues to deal with currently, she is now being tasked to train a new officer: the husky girl Sarah Brendhart.
Sarah unfortunately doesn't start out being the most adept at her profession. So mistakes a plenty, Carmelita can't help but feel disappointed and frustrated with her....at first.
Sarah tries so hard to make an impression and is enthusiastic to work with Ms. Fox whom she greatly admires.
But upon realizing her own mistakes and Carmelita's disapproving look, she can't help but feel downtrodden herself.
Don't worry Sarah; you'll get your chance to make Ms. Fox proud someday. ;D

Ghost Neyla

"Guess who it is? GHOST NEYLA!!"

I took some time during my regular school and artwork to create a piece in time for the Ghostbusters reboot I am seeing. I hear mixed things on it.
One thing is for sure; there's no skirting around the "All Female Ghosbusters Team" issue whether you're for or against it.

I'm pretty for it; so long as it's not an excuse to cover up for bad writing.

So I took the concept and created an all furry team of Ghostbustin' gals. The four girls present are some of my favorites in all furrydom.
From left to right: Kitty Katswell, Coco Bandicoot, Judy Hopps and Carmelita Montoya Fox.
Do NOT ask me how a TUFF Agent, a ZPD officer, and Interpol inspector or a tech savy marsupial decided to team up and bust ghosts. :B

Perhaps the logo offers some explanation. Of these four girls; one has a former rival who is dead in their own series. That would be Carmelita and her now deceased rival Constable Neyla. She was gone forever...or was she?
Yes taken from TeamFourStar's 'Ghost Nappa' reference! :B You think listening to the Ghosbuster's theme for three straight hours can get annoying? That can get even more so.

"If there's something strange! in your neighborhood!"
"Guess who it is!?...GHOST NEYLA!!"
"Carmelita...lita...lita..lita...li-li-li-lita..."

Yeah THAT won't get annoying. XD

It's a crossover pic, yet Neyla suddenly became the central focus!! XD Funny how things work out. But the movie and this pic IS about busting ghosts. So there you go. ;D

This weekend I went back on my college campus once a few lures were set up.
Walking around I came across a rare treat in Pokemon Go. A Ninetails waiting underneath a nearby tree.

He was not easy to capture. I ended up wasting a lot of balls on this Ninetails. fortunately with a few raspberries I quelled it and when i almost ran out of balls, i eventually captured it.
Good thing there's so many refill stations nearby.

AllStars Carmelita and Sarah Minion

Done in the spirit of my previous piece: AllStars Toothpick and Abigail Minion by shinragod

Once again the idea is taking another Sly Cooper character and putting them as playable characters.
This time around; Carmelita is not just a minion. She is now a playable character with a minion all her own.
And like the last pic, it is of an OC.
This time it's my OC Sarah Brendhart; the plucky husky assistant officer and trainee under Carmelita Fox.

And yes like the spirit of the last pic; Carmelita is in her Sly 4: thieves in time outfit. Though her original Sly 1-3 outfits and her alternate from 4 can be made available too. ;D
Sarah's cheering on her idol alright. She's learning a lot from Ms. Fox; mostly what "tough love" feels like. XD

A third one is planned. And there's a reason why. I am thinking of how people would want to approach this idea of making a Sly character playable in All-Stars with their own minion. (Usually an OC) The roles can be reversed too you know. ;D

I created a shout-out piece to the wonderful and talented artist :icontriatel-x:.
This year he created my Queen of Winter piece featuring Lady Malmsteen and Sarah Brendhart: Snow queen Elizabeth by Triatel-x
Here is my appreciation finally done for him for the wonderful drawing. ^^


These are two of his characters from the TUFF fan universe; Kisa and Arthur.

They are RUFF's (Russian Undercover Fighting Force) top agents. And like Kitty and Dudley; they're a pair of misfits with contrasting personalities. But they definitely work well together just like Kitty and Dudley do in their own unique way. ;3

Now Arthur is obviously Russian. But Kisa is actually Mongolian. Hence why I gave her a Mongolian curved sword. I just think they're neat. XD She can use firearms just like Arthur there who's holding a bazooka.

Based off this pic of these two wonderful and imaginative characters :3 2 bozo's by Triatel-x

Enjoy my friends. =^^=

Doghouse of Horror V

$

Done right in time for the Halloween season; my second yearly tradition next to 'Queen of Summer.'
It's the fan-made TUFF spin-off Halloween special 'Doghouse of Horror.'

And already we are at the fifth one!! Wow!! It's amazing how quickly we've gotten to this point. :B
These are more or less done out of passion. It's like the only way I celebrate the Halloween spirit anymore is through my artwork. Halloween is definitely a creative time of year for me. Though slow down this year was due to leadership school. Luckily I got this done in time; and I have a few more pics to release on Halloween as well. ;3

Until then; let's dive into to the new Doghouse of Horor. This is 'Doghouse of Horror V.'

The title card is a movie theater setting. It's Lady Malmsteen sitting down enjoying a soda and someone else's popcorn. The popcorn belongs to Lady M's rival Lupita: The werewolf queen. I dunno why they chose to sit next to each other. My guess is Lady M did it to spite her. Plus she's got Nuby the mummy on her left; someone who is madly in love with Lady M but she couldn't care less about. He's apparently carrying a copy of the film. My bro :iconfox-mccloud: suggested since he's based off Anubis the preserver of the dead he also preserves dead and lost films. Nice little tie in there bro. ;3 Other theater attendees are comprised of Ringu Suzuki on the far left and Le Noire on the far right. Le Noire apparently has a popcorn bucket full of eyeballs. O.o All the other monsters are eating popcorn. I guess it goes to show that even a little girl can be weirder and creepier than they are. ;3
A few other faces sit in the back. The tall and gruesome vampire Christopher Leech sits inbetween the fire haired banshee Jennifer McDullahan and the random snake haired gorgon lady giving her snake hair their fair share of popcorn. Trish Lexia the two headed Frankenstein monster girl is there too. Looks like the good cheerful half is obstructing the view of the less excitable morbid half. Gillbert; an obscure fish man I haven't drawn in a while sits next to her looking rather startled at something on the screen.
Originally this was gonna be Lady Malmsteen sitting amongst the bony remains of movie goers; but it was too depressing and too similar to Homer doing the same thing in 'The Homega Man' from Treehouse of Horror VIII. Yeah I know Doghouse of Horror is pretty much TUFF's version of 'Treehouse of Horror'; but it's like I wish more shows did stuff like that without being a total rip-off.

So let's get down to the stories.

The first one was submitted by :iconbivgalpanandraa:. It's basically a parody of Alfred Hitchcock's 'The Birds'. He came up with the plot; which is because the avian citizens of Petropolis are upset with Kitty's feline tendencies of hunting birds, The Chief orders Keswick to hypnotize her into suppressing her feline instincts. This catches Bird Brain's attention to which he uses this to his advantage to make all the birds of different variety and size come together by command of his bird whistle and attack the residents of Petropolis. The only one who can stop the birds is Kitty, but she can't do anything because the suppression of her feline instincts has paralyzed her and made her half-crazed with fear. In fact it's getting so out of hand; that BirdBrain took a step further and turned some of the birds into dangerous mutants. Red eyed demon ostriches, mutant chickens, flamethrower spewing penguins (kind of a throwback to Batman Returns); and a giant laser-eyed budgie!! Yeah so unless Kitty is snapped back to her regular self; the world will be overrun with crazy and super powered birds. So that was the story conceived by :iconbivgalpanandraa:. The title I came up with: 'Fowl-Out.' Obviously a pun on the notion of 'Fallout' as well as the video game series. Both deal with post-apocalyptic events; but I bet no one expected birds to bring on the apocalypse. XD At least; we hope it isn't so once Kitty snaps out of it.

the second story I had in my head for a while; but am now releasing it. 'The Dudley-Est Catch'; obviously a reference to the crab-nabbing spectacular 'The Deadliest Catch.' In this story, Dudley thinks he just cornered a deadly villain! Obscured in darkness and shadow he quickly whacks the "criminal" over the head wit ha shovel and brings it back to HQ in a sack. Of course he couldn't see anything in the darkness. So when he gets back to TUFF HQ; it's suddenly revealed that what he actually caught was an unidentified and very VERY ferocious monster. The rest of the story is the TUFF agents trying to contain it while trying to avoid getting eaten by it. Of course the big twist is what Keswick reveals about the monster. I won't say what it is here; but the spoiler is in the picture itself. Keswick even gives you a warning. ;3

And finally, the third story is actually related to current events. I know in one Treehouse of Horror; The Simpsons made 'Citizen Kang' where they lampooned the presidential debates between Bill Clinton and Bob Dole. Well that debate was absolutely nothing compared to the ones we have had this year. This is without a question one of the most bizarre and twisted presidential debates we have ever had in the history of...well...the America most of us knew growing up. (It's not like we can really visualize what presidential debates were like back in the 1800's.) It was not hard at all lampooning the freaky presidential debates of Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. So how can you cope with the fact that you are faced with either a foul-mouthed xenophobic hothead or an absolute criminal becoming president? You make a joke about it while at thesame time addressing how f**ked up it is for us. Hence the title of the third story: 'President Evil.' (Obviously a take on the game series 'Resident Evil.') The premise is that two unlikely (and unlikable) candidates are running for president: Verminious Snaptrap and The Chameleon. Neither candidate will be good for the country or the world if they win. But America has no choice but to vote for one. And there's nothing TUFF can do about it either. There's a clause saying they can't get involved in political rallies or functions. (Same with our clause in the military.) However, Dudley feels like they should. Because a visit to a fortune teller reveals to Dudley the drastic consequences of either of these candidates winning. So even though they can't get involved politically; they must be stopped. Well there is a loophole. Dudley could get involved because technically....he SORT OF works for TUFF. They never officially made him a TUFF Agent; they just humored him into thinking he was one. So he sort of works as a civilian...a pseudo-civilian. So technically he could get involved. However; both sides who endorse either Snaptrap and Chameleon are vehement about their candidates regardless because...you know...politics!! Political parties and their loyalists are tough customers. Dudley's only option is to run as a third party candidate. Yes....that is probably his most impossible mission yet. To run as Third Party candidate..and win!!
I know! not very horror themed is it? It's more like a political thriller. (Sort of like The Dead Zone.) Well trust me...there IS a twist to this story.

Well; Happy Halloween everyone. And although the scariest holiday of the year (Election Day) is coming up; I thought a little humor thrown in with colorful visuals will help quell the rising tides of fear and uncertainty we're faced with.

Be safe out there! And enjoy another fright-filled year of tricks and treats. ;3

Symphony of the Night

$

Part of a GA-HQ Contributor's Art Collab going on; where collaborators who help keep :icongame-art-hq: awesome are given a choice of a game they wish to draw a tribute to.

Immediately the one game I thought of which to this day remains the most influential game I ever played was 'Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.'
And this image hopefully shows you why.

The gothic atmosphere, the lore of vampires and other dreaded creatures, the awesomeness of it's main protagonist Alucard, and the amazing soundtrack! All add up to one of the finest gaming experiences I ever played. And for many people; it's style of gameplay dubbed 'Metroidvania' greatly influenced them as well.

The idea behind this tribute was to have Alucard walk to the forefront carrying his sword and shield and looking very determined. He is then surrounded by many of the game's bosses. However he doesn't seem perturbed or unsure. He strides forward with confidence, cape bellowing out from him ready to strike down the unearthly creatures.
Now for a pic this big; obviously not all of Symphony of the Night's staggering boss roster could make it on here. Some ended up on the cutting room floor; most grievously The Werewolf and Minotaur. Others not included are the Doppelganger, Lesser Demon, Scylla, Karasuman, Granfaloon, Fake Grant/Trevor/Sypha, Beelzebub and Galamoth.
Those included serve two functions. One being some of the most iconic in the game and the other serving as plot devices.
The ones serving as plot devices includes Richter Belmont, Shaft, The Succubus, Death and Dracula himself.
Others served as not only the means to collect Dracula's remains to destroy him; but as a throwback to the bosses of the very first Castlevania. That would be the huge bat (known as Darkwing Bat); the mummy Akomodan II, Frankenstein's monster, the gorgon Medusa, and Death himself.
Rounding out the cast are the more unique creatures such as the spear wielding bird-like Slogra and the blue demon Gaibon. Mythological creatures like the red feathered Hippogryph and three-headed Cerberus also add to the roster.
Inbetween Shaft and Death is also the other true vampire in the game that isn't Alucard or Dracula. Count Olrox I had to include given how the Castlevania series is noted for doing a lot of horror themed motifs involving the Lord of the Vampires....except fill their games with more vampires. I also like Count Olrox for being a true image of a vampire with his Nosferatu-like appearance.

I feel after working many days on this picture and adding the last minute details; the results came out how I wanted them and I am proud of my overall work. Perhaps what i could've done better is how I fit in Maria Renard. She is obscured somewhat behind Alucard. She is meant to be in the background symbolizing her following the enigmatic (and no doubt to her; sexy) vampire prince. But I think she came out too small; and there was no real way to fix it being obscured by the Hippogryph's wings.

Other than that; this pic I create to capture the reasons why fans love Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. A huge entire castle filled to the brim with monsters and demons while experiencing Super Metroid-style gameplay and music!! That is an experience I always loved and this long overdue tribute to my favorite game hopefully clarifies it.

Castlevania, Alucard, Richter Belmont, Maria Renard and all other Castlevania characters belongs to Konami. (though it's spirit and legacy belongs more to Mr. Igarashi)

FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM Review

2016 Art Review Meme Shinragod

So we're wrapping up this hectic and chaotic year of 2016. So much happened to me personally this year; it was quite life changing. From my relationship with :iconverona7881: to becoming a Staff Sergeant; 2016 was a breakneck turning point for me.
Art-wise it was as well. I think I ended up drawing more human characters this year than any year since. Also my TUFF art slowed down; I'll explain why. I also focused heavily on my rendering skills a lot. Being involved in a lot of DA Group projects and expanding my art horizons really opened up the field for me.

So here is my Art Review for 2016 in all it's chaotic glory.

01. January - Ms. X Accepts Your Challenge
 Miss X Accepts Your Challenge
What a way to kick the new year off. Draw not only a human character; but three human characters. In one of the many Art Challenges I took in the :iconfighting-games-elite: group; I drew an obscure fighting game boss named Ms. X; who really turned out to be Iori Yagami in a dress. Why? Why not? I never played the game before but decided to do the challenge anyway since 2016 was already geared up to be a year of great changes for me. Might as well start it off with something I definitely don't draw very often.

02. February - Oh how cute! Are they real?
Oh how cute! Are they real?
Now a mix of uncharted territory and familiar territory. In this case a crossover between two female Interpol officers of gaming. That being Street Fighter's Chun Li and Sly Cooper's Carmelita Fox. Chun Li being a human probably hasn't encountered many furry females before. (Save for Felicia from Darkstalkers; but I doubt those Crossover games are canon in the Street Fighter Lore.) I imagine Chun Li would find Carmelita slightly adorable at first. Particularly her most stand out features. Her pair of....ears. ;3 Chun Li of course wonders if they're real. I do too. I recently replayed Sly 2 and my girlfriend noted how Carm's ears keep disappearing. Good call. XD

03. March - Freeze Kei Wilde!
Freeze Kei Wilde!
It was a huge change for us in the furry community too. Zootopia came out with raving reviews and big box office success; ushering in a new future era of furry movies that prove to be profitable. Good news for us furs. It was especially a treat to see it for the first time in California with my bro :iconfox-mccloud:. He evendressed the part of Nick Wilde for this outing. So I decided to draw his own Kei dressed as Nick Wilde being arrested by ZPD's "Newest" recruit. Officer Malmsteen. XD I doubt her uniform is in regulations though. XD Not that either of them care. :B BTW: Zootopia came out in early March; and not a single movie this year surpassed it: animation or otherwise. It is the best movie of the year for me.

04. April - Lady Malmsteen Poster
Lady Malmsteen Poster by shinragod
This one is sad for me; and I would like to sweep it under the rug pretending it never happened. But it did. I announced back in April that the Lady Malmsteen comic would FINALLY happen in October. It...didn't. :-/ Partially because I was super busy. The other; yeah my interest in TUFF Puppy has waned considerably. And that was due to the insanity I encountered within it's fandom. This year it got particularly bad when someone dangerously obsessed over Lady Malmsteen. That must've been the breaking point because I'm still trying to revive my interest in doing this comic. Particularly when I got other ideas I'd rather be working on. I dunno when I will try again. Maybe some fan encouragement would help me greatly. And no; saying "Is the comic ready yet?" or "When will the comic be ready yet?" is NOT encouragement.

05. May - Vaporeon Hydro Pump
Vaporeon Hydro Pump
The beginning of one of my favorite projects I worked on last year. It was done for the Generation I Pokemon Tribute in the :icongame-art-hq: group. This was the first Pokemon I laid claim to; Vaporeon. The move I selected for him was Hydro Pump. Since then this drawing was joined by other Pokemon I drew for this project like Ivysaur, Zapdos, Nidoking, Onyx and Pidgeot. I also helped with the main web site of Game-Art-HQ updated the profile pages for all the Pokemon and their moves used to which all participating artists drew them. It was a great experience being involved in this tremendous project that magnifies our love for Pokemon. Generation II project is set to begin in 2017.

06. June - The Furry Women of The Law
The Furry Women of The Law
So with Zootopia having come out; it was inevitable that a crossover with Judy Hopps and other furry female officers in cartoons and video games would be made. Hence this image I made of Judy joining two other female furries of the law I know and love: Kitty Katswell and Carmelita Fox. Of course most people would assume them to be a dangerous trio working together cohesively to stop crime. I for one think that before that they would have to work out their differences first. I imagine the transition would not be a smooth one in the beginning. But over time they'd work together and find out how amazing they operate as a team. The female team dynamic wouldn't stop here though. Next month would produce another female furry team; though not on the side of the law so to swww.deviantart.com/submit/peak.

07. July - Ghost Neyla
Ghost Neyla
The same furry team created in June soon saw another recruit from another fandom: Coco Bandicoot from Crash Bandicoot. And instead of busting criminals; they are now busting ghosts. This was when the all-females Ghostbusters movie came out; to mixed and negative reception. Also during this time I had a mild interest in Ghostbusters; that soon faded away shortly thereafter. But to capitalize on the moment; I donned the Ghostbusting suits on Kitty, Coco, Judy and Carmelita. Their prime ghost target; Neyla. Only it's "Ghost Neyla." Kill another Ghostbusters related thing on the list; that Ghost Nappa Meme. We give TemFourStar too much power I say. XD But as for what resulted for this crossover it was one of my better crossover pics in years.

08. August - AllStars Toothpick and Abigail
AllStars Toothpick and Abigail Minion
Another little side project I did featuring Sly Cooper characters. If some were unlockable characters in Playstation All-Stars and had their own Minion. The Minion in this case would be a Sly Cooper OC. For this scenario I did Toothpick and :iconverona7881:'s own Abigail. I also did Rioichi Cooper with my own Jenti and Carmelita Fox with my own Sarah Brendhart. I was planning to try this as a series of commissions where people could do the same with their favorite character and OC. Only....not many people played All-Stars. So as I knew it wouldn't generate much interest; the project was scrapped shortly after Rioichi.

09. September - Queen of Summer 4 FINAL ROUND Sarah vs Lola
Queen of Summer 4 FINAL ROUND Sarah vs Lola
Before I entered Staff school and just shortly after I got back visiting my parents in California; the Queen of Summer 4th Edition just wrapped up. The two finalists were Sarah Brendhart the husky and Lola Henderson the raccoon. Two grey furred cuties competing while doing some water gymnastics in the spirit of the Summer 2016 Olympics. (Not the first Round in this contest to commemorate it.) Sarah ended up being the winner by a "fur long." The revenge pic after this what with Lola's narwhal was pretty funny I must say. XD Well with Quen of Summer 4 done; I am still awaiting the reference pic for Sarah's sculpt. It may take some time as I was super busy with Staff Sergeant school shortly after this pic was made.

10. October - Sly and Carmelita Day of the Dead
Sly and Carmelita Day of the Dead
After Staff school finished Halloween was upon us. I decided to celebrate the undead festivities Sly Cooper style. Only instead of Halloween I looked to the Day of the Dead from Mexico. (AKA Dios de Muertos) Carmelita's outfit was undoubtedly  inspired by La Muerta's from 'Book of Life.' It seemed only fitting she would wear such a festive outfit to commemorate her Spanish heritage. Sly's was also Day of the Dead inspired; but with a twist of Dr. Faclier from Princess and the Frog and James Bond's Day of the Dead mask from Spectre. One of the most elaborate outfits I have made for them. This would be the last Sly pic I would work on for a while too.

11. November - Welcome To The Netherlands
Welcome To The Netherlands
So the special moment of the year had finally arrived for me in November. The year I would go see my swetest :iconverona7881:. Love Love Love We were both very excited about this. :3 Her fursona Abigail would welcome me with open arms; along with two of her loves: Espurr and her budgie Kindje. X-3 We had a great time in the Netherlands; and it would soon be my turn to welcome her to my country. She is currently staying with me for some in America as well. We both explored our love for one another and knew for sure that life without either one of us wouldn't be the same. Our love is strong and still going strong to this day. I definitely am glad to be spending more time with my sweetest. :3

12. December - Together Forever
Together Forever
2016 was a year of celebrity passings. One of the first major ones was David Bowie. The last one to have happened was in the wake of the new Star Wars movie. Carrie Fisher died just a few days ago. And no question about it: when she passed Princess Leia type fan art popped up everywhere to commemorate her. And it looks like I was there too. If I was going to do a pic of a celebrity passing this year; it might as well have been Carrie. As Han Solo died in The Force Awakens; I made it look like Leia had passed on and reunited with him in The Force. Episode VIII is already finished so it looks like she will still be Princess Leia in that movie. We have no idea how she will be written in Episode IX. Will they get a stand-in to replace or kill her off? Who knows? all we do know is she will be sorely missed.

And that wraps up this year of art.
I can only hope 2017 will produce even better pieces.
