Here's my piece for the 2014 Werewolf Calendar!<br />
The calendar pre-orders are open RIGHT NOW, and the first 150 orders will receive 3 free stickers!<br />

Here's the caption I was assigned to illustrate:<br />
<i class="bbcode bbcode_i">Werewolves are adept trackers, being able to
catalog and recognize a wide range of animal tracks. During times when
game is lean, werewolf packs often become nomadic, straying from their
established territories to track game, often following spoors for days
between sightings. Being powerful athletes, werewolves will chase prey
for hours without tiring, pack-mates taking turns chasing larger pray
animals such as caribou until they wear down their target's stamina.
Werewolves often will then drive their exhausted prey into their hidden,
waiting pack-mates or away from their herd, allowing them to be
cornered. </i><br />

Four conventions, three of which are the
largest ones we'll be doing this year, all in a four week span. It's
been exhausting, to say the least!<br />
<br />
<i class="bbcode bbcode_i"><strong class="bbcode bbcode_b">* AnthroCon</strong></i>
was especially great this year. We had a lot to celebrate that
particular weekend, and being there over the 4th of July and the
fireworks was just the icing on the cake.<br />
<i class="bbcode bbcode_i"><strong class="bbcode bbcode_b">* ComicCon International </strong></i>was giant, incredible, and overwhelming, as always. Juanjo Guarnido (illustrator of <a class="auto_link" href="http://blacksad-gallery.blogspot.com/">Blacksad</a>) had some rad compliments for <a class="auto_link" href="http://www.nordguard.com/">Nordguard: Across Thin Ice</a>, so that alone made my whole convention. :]<br />
<br />
<br />
This weekend, I'll actually be in two places at once. One half is in
Baltimore for a gigantic tiny-horse convention (table 201 if you want to
swing by to say hi and check out pony-related-paraphernalia!)<br />
<br />
The other half will be closer to the home front, at Denver's <a class="auto_link" href="http://www.rockymountainfurcon.org/">Rocky Mountain Fur Con</a>!
Stop on by the dealer's den if you're keen to check out prints ranging
from $5 and up, Scratches CDs, limited edition signed/numbered prints, a
couple originals, Nordguard patches, and so on!<br />
Sofawolf Press will also be at RMFC, with copies of <a class="auto_link" href="https://www.sofawolf.com/products/nordguard-ati">Nordguard</a>, the <a class="auto_link" href="https://www.sofawolf.com/products/nordguard-card-game">Nordguard Card Game</a>, <a class="auto_link" href="https://www.sofawolf.com/products/dogs-days-of-summer">Dog's Days of Summer</a>, and a whole lot more of <a class="auto_link" href="https://www.sofawolf.com/catalog/">their catalog</a>!<br />

It started life as a drunk joke to poke fun at ourselves and, good-naturedly, at the geek cultures we identified with.<br /><br />It's been "pseudo secret," something we've shared with friends at conventions over the years as it grew and developed. It became a little infamous, even.<br /><br />Now, with the help of a couple amazing people, it's taken on a new life, and is ready for the world.<br /><br />So, stay tuned.

I honestly don't recall the
specifics of the conversation which lead to this, since I am fairly
certain there was copious amounts of alcohol involved--but back at
FurPlanet's party at Texas Furry Fiesta in 2012, I struck up a
conversation with a non-furry fellow about how there were very few great
ape/chimp "fursonas" out there. This surprised him, and promptly
inspired him "become one."<br /><br />So, Teiran of FurPlanet and I
conspired, and I finished him a chimp badge earlier this year, in time
for Texas Furry Fiesta 2013.<br /><br />Anyhow, I had a lot of fun working on this badge, since I really like chimps, and never have an excuse to draw them!<br /><br />3x4" Watercolor</div>

"Cleansing"</div>
<br />
“And some day there will be nothing left of everything that has twisted my life and grieved it and filled me so often with such anguish. Some day, with the last exhaustion, peace will come and the motherly earth will gather me back home. It won't be the end of things, only a way of being born again, a bathing and a slumbering where the old and the withered sink down, where the young and new begin to breathe. Then, with other thoughts, I will walk along streets like these, and listen to streams, and overhear what the sky says in the evening, over and over and over.”<br />

It features a new team member who is... well. Colorful. For both the fur-dye and other reasons. ;]<br />

I've had a couple people request a detail of the <a href="http://blotchcat.blogspot.com/2012/11/divisions.html" target="_blank">Divisions </a>cover, so here you go!<br />
<br />
The
top image is just a close up of the crowd, and the bottom is a photo
with a penny to show scale. Actual painting is around 9x12" on Arches
140lbs hot press watercolor paper.<br />
<br />
(And to jump the gun and
answer the inevitable question--yes, I use a very small paint brush for
the crowd details, size 5/0, the same ones I use for detailing fur,
etc.)<br />
<br />
You can check out the <a href="http://blotchcat.blogspot.com/2012/11/divisions.html" target="_blank">full image right here</a>! <br />

Also,
don't forget, pre-orders for Kyell Gold's book Divisions are going on
now, and if you order yours before Jan. 9th, you can get it signed by
him! <a class="external" href="https://www.sofawolf.com/news/blog/signed-divisions-by-kyell-gold-further-confusion-pre-orders-">Here's the information on that!</a><br />

This is one of the ten interior illustrations I created for Kyell Gold's book, <i>Divisions</i>, which is the third book in the <i>Out of Position</i> series. The book continues the story of Dev the tiger, and Lee the fox, picking up right where <i>Isolation Play</i> left off.<br />

relaxed from a few lazy days of vacation and recuperation from said
vacation! The last few weeks, I’ve sprawled on beaches, hiked mountains,
played with molten lava, driven down rivers, and enjoyed a lot of

to 20 degree temperatures and snow on the ground was jarring and
unpleasant. ;]<br />

"Divisions"</div>
<br />
Here's one of the pieces that's kept me quite busy over the last few weeks! :]<br />
<br />
This is the cover for Kyell Gold's newest novel, <i class="bbcode bbcode_i">Divisions</i>--the third in the <i class="bbcode bbcode_i">Out of Position</i> series of books, following the journey of Lee the fox, and Dev the tiger. <a class="auto_link" href="http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/4066215/">Here's Kyell's official announcement about the title!</a><br />
<br />
You can find out <a class="auto_link" href="http://www.kyellgold.com/books/oop.html">more about the books over on Kyell's website, over here!</a><br />
<br />
I also did ten interior illustrations, plus chapter heads for the book.<br />
<br />
<i class="bbcode bbcode_i">Divisions</i> will be available through <a class="auto_link" href="https://www.sofawolf.com/shop">Sofawolf Press</a>, making it's debut at <a class="auto_link" href="http://www.furaffinity.net/view/9337100/#">FurtherConfusion</a> in January! <br />

<br />
It's the end of the world, so you might as well make it a party!<br />
<br />
The Sponsor Badge, and Regular Attendee Badge, for <a class="auto_link" href="http://www.midfur.com.au/">MiDFur: The Furry Apocalypse!</a><br />
As you can see, they join together, and Sponsors get both!<br />
<br />
I went with a dingo as the MiDFuR charity will benefit the <a class="auto_link" href="http://www.midfur.com.au/index.php/events/charity/">Australian Dingo Foundation</a>, and a 'roo since 'roos are pretty awesome.<br />
<br />
Oh! And, if you're planning on headed to MiDFur and would like to
guarantee getting any books from the Sofawolf Press catalog at the
convention (and avoid steep shipping fees,) <a class="auto_link" href="https://www.sofawolf.com/news/blog/attending-midfur-save-big-on-sofawolf-shipping-with-pre-orders-">check this out!</a>Blotchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17284768216574283417noreply@blogger.com
