I love you I love you oh god, I love you.

There is so much to love about these. Thank you.

Awesome series. Some truly amazing textures.

<3 I realized my monitor had some gamma color imbalances (can be found here to test it http://www.photoscientia.co.uk/1point8.htm ) and noticed each of these is way too dark. Gunna go fix them :>

The way the phallus is engorged up in her is totally hot. This is disgustingly arousing (that's a compliment).

i adore the dynamic between them, the passion (and Passion-style suffering) of the 'worshiper' and the strange blankness of the 'god.' it's not quite a 'blankness' though; it has a grim smile, an odd sort of satisfaction at this worship.

i could go on joygasming all day with this series augh. <3

Omg... this is amazing it's breathtaking the beautiful shading and painting style! I want so totally more, this is like a weird fantasy coming true :D I'm a fan now xD
Please go and make more of this with the great colors and characters!! I love them!

Sorry for her though she has no nipples xD

Its pretty incredible how fast you're doing these. Amazin'.

teach me to love myself.

Seriously though, these are gorgeous.

This series is really impressive! Unbelievable! Dark, morbid and erotic.

grant me safe passage to heaven.

this is amazing, holy crap. I love it.

the coloring of the tongues fasinate me....

Awesome!!!!!!!!!! Love their shiny ...!

This is really gorgeous.

wow,all this time,I've been in the wrong Universe!!This one is fantastic.you have such a sense of color and hue,and knowing just how dark to take it,and how much light to play up,and just what kind.(Are you French?)what sensuality.

…

Cute! Why do I get the feeling her name could be Nancy?

This is delicious.

awesome juicy colors.

I scrolled down while looking above the monitor and the colors made me think you drew a salmon, hehe. It's always a pleasure to see your work. I'd love to see what you see when you close your eyes

And congrats on getting into art school! :D

I'm back from purgatory :) i hope you didnt miss me too much, fearsome!

Nicely done!

now some rhino facts

1. Rhinos are intelligent, and are trained by their keepers in zoos, using clickers and treats (like dogs and other animals), to become accustomed to routines and handling - and even learn to paint!
2. Rhinos make a variety of sounds and vocalizations, ranging from snorts to squeaks
3. All rhinos have three toes on each foot - they are "three-toed ungulates"
4. Only three Sumatran Rhinos have been born in captivity
5. The Javan Rhino is the most critically endangered mammal on earth - there are less than 60 individuals surviving and none in captivity
6. Rhinos use dung (poop!) to communicate with other rhinos
7. Rhinos wallow in mud to protect their sensitive skin from sunburn and insect bites
8. The rhino's horn is made of keratin (like fingernails and hair)
9. There is no scientific evidence that the rhino horn has any medicinal properties
10. The rhino's horn could be removed without harming the rhino and it will grow back (slowly)
11. The world's rhino population has decreased 90% since 1970 (due to poaching)

12. rhinos do not actually look like this, because if they did, they would definitely be extinct due to looking and probably tasting like marshmallows

Those facts are crazy! Other than the mud and keratin facts, I didn't know about the rest. Like the dung, hehe, the intelligence of them, and that the horn can grow back! Though that last one makes sense since it's made of keratin. Rhino would be sad though :( You got one wrong though: 11. The world's rhino population has decreased 90% since 1970 due to TOASTING to make Rhino s'mores.

thanks for the correction
and peace to you rhinos! ;)

"As the march wound around Lake Merritt, it turned sharply to the left, a shortcut to BART headquarters. This seems to have thrown off the police, who were clearly unprepared for what came next. A single police car, parked sideways at 8th and Madison to prevent access to the BART headquarters, became the target of the crowd’s increasing fury. Sensing the tone of the crowd, a cop reached in and grabbed her helmet before scurrying away. Within moments, the police car was destroyed and nearly flipped over, and a nearby dumpster was burning.

A few seconds later, the air was thick with teargas. Evidently, seeing their own property destroyed was too much for the police to stomach. I get a noseful of teargas, and a protester near me is shot in the stomach with a rubber bullet, and needs to be helped off, as the crowd quickly sprints north toward downtown. Passing through Chinatown, dumpsters full of fresh produce are emptied into the street to slow the march of a line of riot police."

(Oakland Rebellions, January 7th, 2009.)

I love what you've done with light in this drawing.

it's a really great painting;Lake Merrit is in Oakland,or Berkely,I think.I know Oakland just had riots,lately,and they called out the troops to mash em.People are all saying"there's going to be huge race riots,and race wars,blacks against white,and civil war in the future of the US." unfortunately,people who say this are not stupid,they're smart.--good at predicting stuff.So,the future of the US does not look rosy at all.Course,if they did this in Oregon,the white people,civilians,would all get their rifles and handguns out,cause we all own guns here,and you do not even need a license.--not to keep one at home. And now,if someone burglarizes you here,now,since the crime is so bad here,they just shoot the burglar,and kill him,cause the criminal courts are all f____ up. Nobody wants a wounded crip wandering around,out of prison,ready to come back and get you,some night!or,one of his gang. So,there may be more paintings like this and more photographs,too.Hope not.

Interesting. I'm white and I spent a lot of time handing out Oscar Grant fliers to people who were mostly working class blacks, yet I didn't run into anybody who was apprehensive about me. In fact, most people expressed they were very excited and relieved to see whites getting involved.
When it came down to the recent, second wave of rebellions you are talking about--where dozens of bank windows and businesses were smashed (and which I attended). I did not feel at any point feel threatened by the people around me. Instead, I felt an electrifying feeling of unity; the feeling of collectively becoming actors within the evolution of a multi-racial social struggle--and also a feeling of great relief because so many people are hungry--starving--for a genuine racial unity.
Nobody talked about it as a "race riot", and I have never heard anybody in Oakland of any race say that's what they want.
On the other hand, there were people I was very wary of at the protest. From the beginning of the event, (well before all the property destruction) as I watched a policeman carelessly back his car into a deaf woman, it was abundantly clear the police were there to "serve and protect" somebody else.
Somebody who wasn't us.
And that's the reason we were all in the streets in the first place, isn't it?

To me, this painting of a photograph represents the evolution of a multi-racial class struggle which--if it got strong enough--could overturn a system which excludes us all.
I hope there are more of them soon.

this is what it looks like. i haven't really drawn much and now i'm out of school and want to actually do stuff again! so just a simple observational drawing of a hand.

Well I like it. It's just a hand, but there is so much going on in this drawing that it's a pleasure to look at.

the shading is amazing c:

beautifully rendered

…

I like all of this piece, but I think the painterly watercolor feel to it is my favorite part.

Wow

I really really like this.

that right hand just captivates me so much. The picture looks simple, but the ribs and faces show the effort put into it. The only thing I don't liek is the background because I feel like it doesn't fit with the rest of the image.

Kind of inspired by miss hendricks and her um impressive fiery hair.

O_O i loooove the... well... everything. especially her expression.

This reminds me a LOT of Cate Blanchett, but I just can't put my finger on why... Probably the red hair and the mischievous smile.

And the hint of awesome tits, of course. Amazing job.

I see Cate, too. I think it's the lips, cheekbones, and a hint in the eyes. Hendricks is a smex kitten, for sure. She's been dying her hair for so long, even she's forgotten her natural color. But it suits her so well.

Oh wow. I really like the colours!

This is so pretty...love the face and her smirky lips..

i adore the colours and the painty feel!

this is fucking gorgeous

For her next trick, she'll make most of that tail disappear. Presto! It sure has been a while since I drew this lady. Now I'm waxing nostalgic.

Totally thought that was a leech. Rockin' nips tho!

Ditto to the leach/slug thoughts. Or really, i speculated a tentacle.

That's okay, the other characters think so, too. http://www.ourhomeplanet.net/junk/lm/lm_page12.gif

Hahaha, cute comic xD
I really like the way her boobs just kind of fall. They act like real boobs, but in a good way =P

Oh, tailsex. <3

has anyone ever told you anything negative about your art style? because honestly, it's cute for something like calvin and hobbes but... porn? are you serious? i'll be honest, i lurk this oekaki occasionally and your art always catches my attention in the worst way.
like, is this some sort of dog anthro? if not, what the fuck is the black thing on her cheek? and if this is the case, where's her nose?

'scuse me but; H8er gun h8 much? GTFO troll.

Yes, I'm serious. Or am I? Wait... maybe not... Yup, definitely serious. I had to check. I appreciate your concern, anonymous lurker. The internet is a serious place filled with serious porn, and I know that sometimes all it takes is one person to disrupt this delicate ecosystem. Will you ever forgive me for being so irresponsible with our finite internet resources?

lmfao just because someone doesn't like a person's art doesn't mean they're a troll dumbass
i just wanted to tell you that this looks retarded

Someone on the internet thinks my art is retarded?! Oh nooooooooooooooooooooo

And this is why I wish I had a tail...

Actually, as a different lurker, I've always taken issues with the black shadow thingy on your faces too. I think in pretty much every other respect you are a fantastic, truly talented artist, but every time I try to reconcile that shadow with any sort of coherent, globally consistent facial geometry and light positioning, it just doesn't work. It's like an MC Escher lighting effect, forcibly drawing attention to the fact that what we are seeing is a fictional 2D medium and thus not constrained by what our brains would expect of 3D reality. Which is good if that's the point, but in your art, I don't think it is.

I usually just tune it out, but if I ever stop and think about it, it makes my head hurt. All the rest of your work has such a wonderful curvacious dimensionality to it, even without the benefits of shading, that my brain just can't cope with the fact that the one overt lighting effect that consistently appears in all your images also, as far as I can tell, violates physics.

But all critiquing aside, OMG hawt. Seriously, I mean like damn.

I can appreciate that. Thanks for the polite input! I don't think anyone's ever discussed it with me in such a direct way before. You are also the first person to call me out on the 2D/3D play. You are correct: there is, in fact, no way to reconcile it in a three-dimensional space. It's completely flat. When I first started doing it, my characters were also a lot flatter, kind of like graffiti-style paper cut-outs, in how they were posed and drawn from frame to frame (heavy influence from Rodney Greenblat at the time). Over the years, I moved to a more "realistic" body style, but found that I liked keeping the heads as they were: these characters can only exist in a two-dimensional space, and I like drawing attention to it. It gets people really riled up sometimes! A lot of people interpret it as a nose, which I kinda like. I think over time it's been resembling one more and more. I have been toying with the idea of just running with that and saying, "yes, it's a nose," but I'd have to do some clean-up of older comic pages to keep that logic consistent internally.

Well, it's a load off my mind that you know what you're doing with it. I always suspected part of it was "for tradition's sake" and for consistent styling, but I was never sure how aware you were about how much of a mindfuck it actually was. Looking back at your older work, I see what you mean about the flatter graffiti-like style, and in those older images the shadow *is* a lot less striking, for me at least. There's less cognitive dissonance, because my expectations are already biased towards unrealistic 2-dimensionality.

Anyway, I squee for postmodernism and love drawing attention to the media and screwing with people's assumptions. I have much more appreciation for the shadow now that I know you're aware of what it's doing on a conceptual level.
