A quick character sheet for reference. Meet that cheetah girl, who's now been christened Akirana. She's hot, she's buff, and she's got spots. My boyfriend/Fiancee is playing wtih my brother behind my head. Must go. Tackle. Wee.

SOMEONE DO AN ART TRADE WITH ME???SUCH A DESPERATE ARTIST I AM!!

This looks romantic. It wasn't really meant to be...it's Parukmai (don't ask me why she's gold....I felt like making her gold...) and Jonocat. I did the colouring really light, I'd like to darken it and burnish it...but I'll do that another time. I love Jono like a friend. *hugs* to Jono.
I drew this in socials...then I spontaneously hugged him instead of poking him downstairs. He was taken aback. I giggled.
Oh, and they are very anatomically (sp?) incorrect.

I'm unhappy. I'm really unhappy. The next scene is where she takes those same scissors and stabs herself in the chest with them.

Meet Bert. Created with vera's sketchbook and advise, in my sketchbook. He's cute. I'm keeping him.

Art Copyright Me (Christina Marino)

It's still got hours more work on it...but A)I already don't like it, excluding the cape, and B)I'm sick of colouring.
I'm going to draw Kevin something realistic. I'm so much friggen better at realistic graphite drawings than dealing with colour and cartoon-y furries. *sigh*

Art Copyright Me, Nonetheless (Christina Marino)

I really need to work on my colouring skills. I just did this in about fifteen minutes...*laughs* I will probably finish it and make it look all pretty at a later date, as I can't seem to draw furries anymore. All I can do is realistic work...I think it's because Claire kinda told me my artwork was bad...I'm sensitive to comments like that, they strike me in my subconscious...bah. Evil.

Crappy Colouring and Really Old Art Copyright Me (Christina Marino)

The ink work is complete for a picture I am -immensely- proud of, and spent many hours of the early morning working on. I plan on colouring it with my Prismacolour coloured pencils (I finally got some! Whoo!) in the early afternoon.
"Remove your blindfold and see the world. See me."
The rainbow on his hip is a symbol of his uncertain sexuality.

My scanner is a bitch. The yellow bits on Jono-cat blend in quite nicely IRL.
This is the coloured version of that ink I put up earlier. I was awake until four in the morning colouring it, so Jono-cat could've been alot better. I'm still INCREDIBLY proud of this picture. I love it. Those are our real hair colours, by the way.
And I am a mouse, not a rat. A mouse.

I hate the mirror sometimes...

Old picture that I coloured crappily from boredom today for no reason. I horribly messed up the dress. Next time, before using bronze, I will check to be sure that is INDEED a suitable highlight colour...blah.
I'm BAAAAAAACK!

Hello, meet my new character who is nameless as yet. She's a cheetah. Yes, I know she's balanced really funny on that skateboard, she's like me, trying to not fall off:-P Its been a while since I skated. Anyways, LOOK LOOK I drew CLOTHES! I kinda like this whole clothes thing, even though I need to learn to make them look good. Wish me luck.

I'm bored out of my mind. I'm singing along the David Draiman version of "Forsaken" and I drew this in photoshop in five minutes to help relieve boredom. Didn't work. I did name her Cernunnos, though. However, I changed it to Kernunnos, to prevent mis-pronunciation. *grin*

Craptacular Art Copyright Me (Christina Marino) 2003

I screwed up the eyes on both characters, I was in too much of a hurry to do this right. I still think it's cute. I'm drawing a pretty frame for it, as I feel it deserves one. It's Kevin-cat and I, the unnamed wonder. Does anyone got a suggestion for a name for me? E-mail me, I'm lonely.
Ps: Got the pose from a magazine cover on the wall in Spanish.

Marona is a hare. Not a rabbit. She is a hare. And she's a damn sexy hare, as well.
I realize I accidentally labelled her a bunny before. I hereby retract that. I'm sick, I wasn't thinking...I know damn well that she is a hare. *laughs*
Redwall...mmm...must try and draw redwall style...
Dance, Marona, dance. She's really fun to draw. Especially dancing. Jenny likes to dance.

Art Copyright Me (Christina Marino)

Jenny's Character, whom I have named Marona. Oh wait, I forgot to upload the first pic I ever did of her...I'll do that right after I'm done.
I think I have strep throat again. I'm home sick from school.
I did this picture randomly in math class. It evolved from a swirl into a dress, then became Marona dancing in a pink dress of Jenny's own design. I coloured it and inked it rather crappily in Business Ed, whilst sitting on the floor. Lobby asked me if I was playing hide and go seek. Blah.
PS: Finally, a character with CLOTHES!

Art Copyright Me (Christina Marino)

Parukmai is now gold. I like her gold. I have no idea what this is...it was inspired by a pic I tried to draw before that was inspired by a song...I don't know what song...but it's Parukmai and Doublet. In a way it's Kevin holding me...so I don't fall into the abyss. Yeah, so the abyss is white. I'll fix that later. :P

I hate you. Moer than I thought I could hate. You know who you are.

Oh, what a wacky situation. Jericho, Jonocat, me, and Kevin as his character was first being developed...cruddy colouring on him. He should be vibrant orange.

Art Copyright Me (Christina Marino) 2003

I hate this fucking thing...wouldn't let me upload it. Anyways, I'm copying Charlie and spelling out my char's name in Parukmais.
Done shittily.

Art Copyright Me (Christina Marino)

Look! It's Parukmai dressed up as Jericho! Love you Zola.
Yes, I know Jericho in real life. Yes, she lives near me. Yes, I love her. Don't you envy me that?:-P
It's 2.30 in the morning. I am tired. Therefore, crappy colouring. The costume is latex.

A sketch of Jonocat from a couple weeks ago that I cleaned up, inked and coloured. I've had most of his friends tell me that looks just like him, only in cat-form. Yay.

Art Copyright Me (Christina Marino) 2003

I've been trying to get Jono into cat form, but it's really hard to capture him. Jono is just...different. Makes it very hard to draw him, in any form. This is the closest I could get...

Art Copyright Me (Christina Marino)

I LIIIIIIVVVVVVE! Sorry, I've been going through a phase where I can't draw anything...or at least, the VERY little I draw has been human, or out of Irish folklore. Anyways, news...I'm engaged:D. Feel happy for me, yes? *grins*
For once, I just took a pencil to the paper and depicted exactly what I was feeling. I am in love and I'm happy about it. I'll hopefully upload more stuff...have to draw it first.
OH, and I know the hands and feet are huge...it was intended...a little deviation from my usual style, eh?
Speaking of deviation...www.deviantart.com/parukmai.

...Let me in, Kevin.

Crappy colouring. So sue me.

Art Copyright Me (Christina Marino)

He looks cute, but oh, you watch out!
Behind that adorable mouth and bright eyes lies a KILLER!!
SCREE SCREE SCREE!
*ahem*
I saw squirrel. I drew squirrel.

Art Copyright Me (Christina Marino)

Ah, yes. Wonderfully pixelated, though I used pen and ink on it.
Um...for those of you who care (however few) I apologize for not uploading more often. I'm going through a long artist's block phase (this happens every couple of months or so) and haven't been satisfied with my work. I'm still not. And so I'm developing my skills and personal style in an attempt to draw as beautifully as Cerynean and others. Wish me luck.

M. Tra la la.

I'm sorry about the compression, but unfortunately this one picture had to be saved high quality or it was horribly scratchy.
My mouse had babies. Ten of them. I'm happy about this, and I drew a little picture of it. The babies look like pink blobs with feet. And they squeak alot. They're adorable.
