Well, a pic of my fursona. Probably one of very few here.

"I" am holding a schlager, the biggest classbruiser of a rapier there is. They're an extra foot longer than foils, thrice as heavy as epees, have a bell the size of a salad bowl, and Quillions (the crossguard) a foot long. It's the only weight class of rapier that requires that you wear a rigid peice of armor (Foil and Epee only require that you have tear resistant cloth covering all skin. Schlagers requre neck armor) I don't have one, but I wish I did. They're monsters.

the line quality is crap, and there's no shading ot speak of. The shoulders are kind of screwed up too. I'll clean this up sometime.

Again, I made a practice rate picture in the public forum. WLB's curse strikes again.

Yay, everyone's favorite mascot hegehog, crudely rendered. Some of he shading is nice, and I'd like the line if it weren't so messy.

I like the hand. I like the head too, but the shading and hair is messed up. I love the eyes tho, they just burn. The one on the right looks like it's glowing.

Sitting in a dark corner. Whee.

She's actaully a white mouse in a dark environment.
I like how the cig. smoke came out, but I'm less happy with this pic than with my previous one. Probably due to a lack of a defined light souce.

Gah, I can't draw boobs...

[EDIT]Cleaned up the shading a bit, and added feet. Well, shoes. I suck at feet as much as I suck at boobs. I think I'm cursed with putting Practice drawings in the Regular forum and putting Regular drawings in the Practice forum...

Ok, it's one in the morning. I'll just read a few webstrips. Ok, one archive. It only goes back to '98. And it's a good strip.

And yeah, it's two in the morning, but theres two more strips on the links page. Might as well check em out.

Even though it's three in the morning, I could read the archives of that last comic, no big deal right?

Just a few more... strips... four in the morning... Caffine, my ol' pal, once more into the breach, dear friend, once more into the fray...

I'm addicted to internet comics. I've got over fourty book'ed that I check regularily.

Oh, and I really like how the monitor glow came out on the opposite wall. Will probably fix the lighting on Marrow later.

[EDIT]Cleaned up the legs, and took out a lot of thoseannoying white flecks. Missed a few, but it looks much better now.

And, I *really* like the monitor glow.

Sleep all night
Right through the day
Dream until
I pass away.

Once I woke
To make dreams come true
Now I sleep to dream
Naught else I do.

Sleep all night,
Sleep all day
Just want to sleep
My life away.

Freehand trinity knot. The animation for this is *really* fun to watch.

I kinda like it, I don't normally enjoy my work when it comes out slobby. This was more about the doing than the result, tho.

Ok, so I'll spill the beans on how to do these.

1) Make a grid. I just replicate boxes for this, use shift to make them square... though they dont' have to be. For some reson, the animation doesn't show the grid i made properly. If there's a grid lock, someone tell me where it is and save my fingers.
2) Make really thick lines to lay down a path for your knot. This is where experience and familiarity with knots helps. Turn down the line width by two points, or four or even six if you want weightier lines, and trace over what you just laid down again, as I did in red. Or white, or blue or whatever. Pick a lighter color than the first one whatever you choose.
3) Go over the whole thing again, this time with the line tool at 1 px (2 if you reduced the inner line by 4 points, 3 if you reduced it by 6, etc...) and fill in the cross over points. Easiest way to do this is to follow one path and alternate between over and under. That is your mantra when you're making these things: Over, under. Over, under. If you get two unders/overs in a row, you screwed up somehow.
4) You're done. You can add cosmetic touches like I did to make it not look so flat, but that's not necessary. Erase the grid and they'll never know better.

Adding corners using curves involves laying two elipses, one with lighter line width, and copying the relevant portion of the curve. I wish there was an arc tool.

This method IS NOT how you do it with paper and pencil. It's similar, but a different process.

This knot has three lines, but there are rules to follow when doing these things to get huge panels with only one line. I know these rules. I'm keeping those.

Doing these takes a perfectionist mentality to make them look nice. If you're cursor placement is off by one pixel, hit the undo. Hell, I see two places i screwed up (both corners) and they irk the hell out of me. Still, this is the practice board.

I told you these things are a lot less impressive when you know how to do them...

Got kicked out of my drawing course at NSCAD. Guess talent isn't everything.

Yay. Bites to be me. You'd tell me if I sucked, wouldn't you>

There's more to be done than just a knot, but this is as far as I go for now.

Marrow fencing. Well, practicing it at least... you wouldn't fence without proper protection. Probably SCA fencing, since Olympic style fencing doesn't allow for main gauche and his Epee has quillions on it.

Probably gonna edit this sometime. Lines look better than I usually do.

EDIT: Cleaned it up a bit.
