Beyond Wishes
With this illustration I took a shot at emulating the style of one of my favorite artists, Keith Parkinson, known for his Everquest work. So what did Keith himself think about it? "You nailed the colors and kicked back values that I like so much. It's interesting and gratifying to see it come back around like that."
Metamorphosis
Is it a curse or a dream come true to be transformed into a dragon? This little lady is about to find out.
Raging Demona
It's Demona from Disney's Gargoyles. Why she hasn't been inducted into the Disney Princess Collection I have no idea. Here, she strikes a threatening pose with NYC's "Battery" in the background. Why does she express such a look of rage? She missed her taxi!
Diamond Eye
A glaucomic dragon made of gold and encrusted with thousands of rubies, emeralds and sapphires guards this tomb. To the unwitting adventurer, it takes on the appearance of an ornate statue, but a great magical life force resides here. I'd run.
Rainbow Gear
This cute little outfit will certainly keep Celest dry, but would she be naughty enough to wear it outside?
Bluestreak
When it's April Fool's day, and online role-playing starts to get boring, what do you do? Sign on as a new, unknown person and play with your friends' heads! Bluestreak was a Beast Wars dolphin chick that was never meant to be taken seriously. And since the person who introduced this character was not supposed to be me, he/she needed an artistic style different from mine. Conveniently, everybody drew in Japanese manga style at the time, so it was a pretty convincing prank that lasted a few months.
Getting Fairy on Your Ass
It's guerrilla warfare in the Enchanted Forest! Want some fairy dust? Come get it! Oh, Bluette, Celest, and Centura look so darling and sweet as pixies— DIE, BASTARDS!!!
In the Deep Marine
This was a nice experiment: a seahorse mermaid and colorful kelp painted in the most vivid, saturated colors like a black-light image. This would make a nice beach towel, I think.
If You Were Here
A dark angel walks through a garden of luminescent blossoms, longing for a lost love. This innovative piece, measuring 22 x 28 inches unframed, combines pencil rendering with an illustrative hand-cut mat. Sadly, lots of charcoal and violet Crayola pencils were harmed in the production of this artwork.
Dinosor
Ever wonder why the Dinobots never became a combiner? I drew this in the spirit of a Transformers "create a custom gestalt" challenge but not as an official entry. Too bad; the fans really dug this loose comic style in which I drew dozens of wacky scenes.
Bluette's Retro Revival
I think having the girls play musical instruments was one of those things that had to be drawn eventually. Bluette insisted on playing lead guitar and running the show. She probably also has the other girls lug amps and do sound checks.
Angry Stumpy
This is what would happen if Stumpy, from Good vs. Medieval, were to stumble into a dimensional portal of realism. His teammates agree that it's a scary sight to behold. Don't get in the way of his dinner!
Orc Mage
This tubby brute attracts a lot of criticism because folks think he doesn't look like an orc. Of course I play the "have you seen a real-life orc?" card in response. Really now, given the fact that my orc bibliography consists of a variety of creatures, what's the standard to go by? Tolkien? Sorry, you got the wrong guy!
Goblin Thief
An unfortunate soul falls victim to the little goblin scoundrel. Coffee beans are that important!
Joy of Tears
A raven-haired, goth Bluette, dressed to kill in a gown lined with briars, pines over an eerie unicorn-skull statue. The stone figure answers with a sorrowful trickle of blood. Many mysteries abound here.
Temple of the Jackal
Jaxyl is a mystical creature who lives in a techno temple reminiscent of an Egyptian pyramid. As he stares into that holographic diagram, you wonder what he is scheming. He already scrapped his first victim, Legacy the scarab beetle queen, and constructed her disjointed parts into his own throne, and it seems that the wily Pantera is his next target. All characters designed by Amy K. Cyrway. Everybody needs a bosom for a head rest, indeed!
I-Artemis Prime
Fanboys throughout the Transformers circuit were already drooling over this creation of Amy K. Cyrway's. I just made Artemis a whole lot sexier by giving her the I-bot treatment. She may be carrying the Matrix, but she still has a soft spot for her Decepticon origins. Oh, let's face it— she's just confused. And since the Autobots will trust anyone, it doesn't really matter! Artemis was my first I-bot; all of them can be seen in the I-bot gallery.
Archmage of the Universe
Once his body was as twisted as his mind... now his physical and magical prowess is without equal. He is Solarrin. Though born a gnome, his soul now inhabits the powerful form of a minotaur by means of the darkest of sorceries. Through murder and deceit, he has gained the tide of Archmage of Thanis. His goal is nothing less than all-out devastation and war. The harassment of a rag-tag band of thieves cannot stop him. The malicious spite of one bitter Librarian cannot hold a candle to his evil. The nobles dare not risk his wrath. And the only ones who might have stood a chance against him have fled on the ultimate fool's crusade— to try and bring his predecessor, the Archmage Talus Yor, back from the dead.
