Canadian Lynx

Sorry for the lack of updates, I've been busy with wedding, graphic novel and freelance stuff. Maybe I should change the name of the blog to 'An Animal Every Couple Months.'

I'm visiting my father-in-law in Colorado, where this cozy-looking cat was recently reintroduced. I haven't been lucky enough to see one, but I have seen its smaller relative the bobcat on hikes in SoCal. (In fact I was considering making this a bobcat, but he was getting too fat and sassy.)

Snapping Turtle

Drawn from childhood memory.

Secretary Bird

I want a secretary bird so bad!! Don't think it would get along with our cat, though.

Raven

Heya- Sorry for the lack of updates, I got sort of preoccupied. Among other things, I went to the Sierras and Death Valley with me folks. There, I saw many spiffy ravens. Ravens are possibly my favorite bird.

Opossum

The Opossum has many amazing qualities, too many to list here.=p

Great Hornbill

The rough is kinda nice too.^^

Roseate Spoonbill

Continuing with the skinny theme.

Wolverine

The nastyass wolverine just doesn't care!

Green Anole

Reindeer

(I felt like the image needed something Christmasy, hence the festive-looking lichen.=p)

Mosquito

Black-Necked Stilt

Saw a bunch of these stylish-looking birds on my bike ride along Bellona Creek in LA. I am still in the mood to draw stilty critters.^^

Maned Wolf

Been gone for a while so I thought I should return with something weird, in this case the gorgeous South American Maned Wolf. (It's not really a wolf.)

A Toad

...by request.

Babirusa

Lookin' good!

Hermit Crab

Sorry for the delay. I went to the beach.^^

Gorilla

Sea Lion

Okapi

Flea

It's been a long day...

California Quail

I recently received a lovely field guide to birds of the Los Angeles region and felt like drawing something both iconic and cute.

Coelacanth

Today is my birthday, so I was feeling kind of old. Here's something else that's old-


(Actually, coelacanths aren't all that old. Their kind has just survived in a similar form for a really long time. I mean, you could say the same thing about jellyfish. Coelacanths were, however, thought to be extinct, and then rediscovered, proving that there is life after 400 million.^_^)

WIP Frilled Lizard

EDIT- Okay, here it is.

And here is the underdrawing, which I also rather like.

Llama

My fiancee requested a llama.

African Elephant

As promised, an African Elephant.

Amoeba, Euglena

Ah, nature, red in tooth and claw.

Asian Elephant

At some point I'll do an African Elephant as well.

A Mess of Animals to start with!

There were starting to get to be a lot of these and they were clogging up my main blog, so I moved them here. Now I will try to draw at least one animal a day in accordance with my mission statement.^^
