Inspired by seeing fanart of the gator cowboy character from that Digital Circus thingamajig, I bring you my character Hadvar as a sexy cowboy. A bit spur of the moment idea I had a few weeks ago, it just got sidetracked in the favor of a different drawing. I don't know, I really liked the idea of my big wyvern fellow shirtless and wearing jeans and a cowboy hat.

Had a weird compulsion to draw my fursona as a Eurasian Lynx, quietly sitting by a tree reading a book in the midst of the fall as denoted by the Truffalump Trees in the background. I had trouble with the pose since I hadn't really drawn the typical naked furry/anthro beforehand while also looking at stock photos for the pose I wanted. I colored the sky bright blue as it was sunny when I started this but the last week or two had been overcast and rainy and the last few days were partly or mostly cloudy but now today as of writing this, it's bright blue skies outside.

A bunch of the art I did back in 2018-19 around the time of Spyro Reignited Trilogy's announcement and launch. You can see the marginal improvement in my art and experimenting with different techniques.

Partly inspired by someone's artwork of an adorable dragoness yawning whilst wearing a yellow shirt and shorts, I looked through various stock images and whatnot finding the right clothes and poses for these three. The Daspleto's shorts I loosely based off of those worn by a woman whose pose I used as the basis for the Daspleto, since I liked the idea of the sleeping shorts with the lacy trim. The dragoness' undies I based off of another image woman's panty pattern, while I went with the idea of the Croc wearing blue/violet/indigo pajama pants off of yet another stock image of a woman laying on a bed. The Daspleto's scale and feather color pattern I based off of actual art depictions of Daspletosauruses, since I found them interesting enough to use; the dragoness I based off of a Schleich figure of an 'Ice Hunter' dragon which I again thought had an interesting design and coloration.

I don't know, when I watched my DVD of Spy Game with the Chinese prison guards at the beginning of the movie, I thought of a saurian or dragon standing guard like that in a ROC uniform. A couple months and a lot of alterations and distractions later, here it is, a dragoness posted at some location that she has to guard, it could actually be some military prison where foreign spies are incarcerated. Her uniform was based off what I could find of Taiwanese and WW2 KMT army uniforms and she holds a Type 44 assault rifle, manufactured by the Chunking Armory to replace the various miscellaneous rifles of foreign origin. Y'know, it says something about the state of my mind when I give this random female a giant rack.

I drew from a bunch of genuses in Japan for the different characters and incorporated a Gharial found in the country and a generic raptor as pets (in the place of the Shiba Inu dogs in the original wallpaper). I incorporated a mosasaur couple seated on the water side, conversing though the pterosaur obstructs the male. I drew a dragon swimming through the water on the left side of the drawing. Of course, I forgot to draw out and color the family's food but that's because I was distracted by other things… like the cityscape. I originally wanted to draw a more specific Japanese city like Kyoto but couldn't find a park that fit where this could reasonably be located, so I just based it off of the city in the wallpaper: a generic Japanese city with a towering Fujiesque mountain towering in the distance.

I had been wanting to draw American dinosaurs in various native attire and I remembered the Mexica originated in the part of the Southwest where Dilophosaurus was discovered. It was a quick drawing I did off a piece of crap printing paper, with me mostly using both art depictions of Dilophosaurus and one or two paintings of actual Aztec priests to get the result I desired.

Drew this tiger anthro in January 2022 due to it being the year of the Water Tiger.
