This is me, basically, when it storms. (If it's warm, anyway.) I love going out and standing in the rain, watching the lightning, and listening to the thunder. This one took forever to do--all the rain spattering on the ground and in the puddles took the longest!]]> Mon, 31 Mar 2008 20:48:33 +0000 http://hyenacub.cgsociety.org/gallery/615498

I am originally from Phoenix, Arizona, and you just don't get snow there, for Christmas or otherwise. On rare occasions you will get a light drift, but that's about it. So what might two reptilians make on Christmas? A sandman. This was one of the more fun pictures I have ever made.]]> Mon, 31 Mar 2008 20:35:03 +0000 http://hyenacub.cgsociety.org/gallery/615496

An expecting snow leopard shows her little one the moon. This one started out as a colored-pencil work, but I smudged it so badly (the blue, mostly, onto the white) that I had to redo it. But I liked the sky coloring so much that I took the best part of it, multiplied it across the page, and used some filters to get the texture I wanted. So while the sky is a VERY small part colored pencil, the piece is 99 percent digital. I hope it's enough to qualify!]]> Mon, 31 Mar 2008 20:30:51 +0000 http://hyenacub.cgsociety.org/gallery/615495

Here is another tornado picture...they're amazingly fun to draw. As with the other, I looked at tons of pictures of multi-vortex tornadoes to get an idea of how they looked. This one took rather longer to get right...all those funnels within the same system was tough to manage.]]> Mon, 31 Mar 2008 20:26:26 +0000 http://hyenacub.cgsociety.org/gallery/615493

A ropey tornado blasts across flatlands. It's probably one of my better digital pictures and I must have looked at a million tornado pictures and video clips to get an idea of how they moved. The dust cloud at the bottom was actually the most difficult.]]> Mon, 31 Mar 2008 20:24:00 +0000
