Another Year of Adventure C-H by Nashoba Hostina

Mon, 30 Jun 2008 02:50:47 -0000

Happy Burfday doodle for you, Wolfsjal! I know it's not much, but I swear, I'll have something GOOD drawn for you after school lets out. It's been a weird sort of year, and I'm sorry things haven't always been so great. But I know the next year's gonna be awsome. Wolfsjal and I both Love Calvin and Hobbes, and regularly joke about our friends and us being up in a tree house. I figured that Wolfsjal would be Hobbes, because one, she's way taller than I am, but for another, she's awesome, just like Hobbes. Calvin and Hobbes (C) Bill Watterson, Wolfsjal and Nashoba copyrite their respective owners.

Hyena Prayer Feather by Nashoba Hostina

Mon, 30 Jun 2008 02:44:57 -0000

So... I painted this over a year ago. I'm surprised, I think I could do SO much better now. Anyway... it's a happy hyena, on a guinea fowl feather, wrapped in leather with a bone handle, adorned with wooden beads and hyena fur.

Deinonychus Egg by Nashoba Hostina

Sun, 23 Mar 2008 20:46:52 -0000

Happy Easter (Or, whichever springtime holiday you prefer)! So... I'm going to hell for making Easter Eggs like this. Remember, your Easter eggs wouldn't exist if it weren't for some very talented dinosaurs. This is the only egg I'll post here. The rest don't really apply to the gallery XD

Shedding Sin by Nashoba Hostina

Fri, 21 Mar 2008 03:01:07 -0000

"When the change comes... I shed my sin more so than my skin." In old werewolf legends, it was said that the lycanthrope could turn its skin inside out, and that the fur would be underneath the human dermis. Many suspected werewolves were cut open in search of this inside out fur, and supposedly was never successful. As it turns out, a Ragarog werewolf's fur grows beneath the skin, which peels away. These werewolves lose a lot more of their human mental selves when in this state than Grahll do, but are not monsters. They behave in a rather lupine matter… and, when they shed their skin, they are suddenly supplied with a large bit of protein to sate their appetite the instant they are done shapeshifting. Anyway, another breed of werewolf, but not my favorite. There's a lot of biodiversity in my own little fantasy world.

Pablo, the Cubist Coyote by Nashoba Hostina

Sun, 16 Mar 2008 01:30:43 -0000

I Recently found it interesting when one person asked if I did cartoon work, or realistic. It then occurred to me that those are often the two schools of the furry fandom. The cartoonists and the realists. I haven't seen any impressionist fursonas... No futurists really... no cubist characters. Which I suppose isn't surprising, since I don't get out of my little corner much... regardless, other schools of art aren't very common in the furry fandom. However, because of that question, I invented this character... I tried to build him so that he'd still seem to work in a real setting, yet still demonstrate the cubist asthetic. ::Laughs:: If I were rich, I'd likely build a suit of him. Sometime, I plan on doing a Fauve Fox.

Grahll Broach Concept by Nashoba Hostina

Sun, 16 Mar 2008 00:55:55 -0000

This is a Celtic inspired design of a Grahll face... I plan to sculpt it and make a broach out of it, to use with the super soft scarf i got from WolfSpider Knits! Naturally, please do not use this image without my permission, yadda yadda.

Nymph 'Dorable by Nashoba Hostina

Sun, 16 Mar 2008 00:52:18 -0000

It's been such a long time since I'd done a 'Dorable! I've missed them. Anyway, this is a little fluffy thing done for the sweet WolfNymph. I started it about a month ago, but only now got around to coloring it.

Nashba 3-D Conbadge by Nashoba Hostina

Sun, 16 Mar 2008 00:50:28 -0000

All other 3-D conbadges will go in my Sketches and Conbadges Gallery. I thought this was worth posting in this one though. *3D conbadges do not fall under my normal conbadge prices. They start at $45* Good Grief. I'd kind of been hoping to have this done in time for FC, but with all the other things I've had piled up, didn't even get close to getting it done. Hopefully I'll get to some of my other unorthodox conbadge projects soon. Anyway, 3D Conbadges include the original conbadge(which has some distortion in the initial image due to forced perspective) done on bristol, as well as a three level 3D badge made using computer prints, meant to be displayed back-to back as a double-sided conbadge.

Spirit Owl by Nashoba Hostina

Wed, 27 Feb 2008 05:07:21 -0000

One of several owls I've drawn recently. I needs to get away from what I was doing, so I did an overly simplistic one. He's nice, But I didn't think he was good enough to put in my normal gallery... so here he is.

Three Wise Net Owls by Nashoba Hostina

Wed, 27 Feb 2008 05:04:01 -0000

Yet another idea that's been kicking around in my brain for ages. Somehow the internet owls "O Rly?, Ya Rly!" and "No Wai!" just seems to need to be meshed with the three wise monkies in my mind. I know it's kind of random... but there's a lot of random stuff in my head. I just usually don't write it down.

Inescapable Companion by Nashoba Hostina

Wed, 27 Feb 2008 05:00:56 -0000

Everyone has their own Personal Daemons. Few realize just how literal that term is. I've restarted on my book. Well, actually, now books. In my never ending project, somehow a simple field guide I came up with in highschool has grown into plans for three field guides and a novel. Anyway... here's myself (baaaad drawing of myself) and WilliaM. I couldn't help giving a tip-of-the-hat to an anime I enjoy... who knows which one?

Badgerdrake by Nashoba Hostina

Mon, 18 Feb 2008 19:28:45 -0000

The badgerdrake is a peculiar member of the draconian family. It lives in burrows in forests, particularly the rare grassland woods. It prefers riverbanks, where it knows prey animals will come to drink. This draconian is small, only about a meter at the shoulder. However, he’s very sturdily built, a body well suited for burrowing through any type of soil. Because of its primarily subterranean lifestyle, the creature’s wings have nearly vanished. Usually, this structure lies flat, however, they usually flare them out when alarmed, or as a dominance gestuture, in an attempt to look bigger.

Snarly, bloody badge done for Cro at FC. I'm starting to wish I had gotten a head start on all of these and done them well in advance of FC for everyone. I didn't have a scanner, and my camera was kind of ikky about taking a picture, but it'll do.

This was done in Tess's sketchbook at the ArtSpots jam... she had made a blot of color on the paper, and asked people to draw what they saw in it. The Jam was so much fun... thank you all!

Nashoba -- Scarves by Nashoba Hostina

Sat, 09 Feb 2008 14:48:23 -0000

The softest scarf I've ever owned was knitted by Westly at http://community.livejournal.com/wolfspiderknits/profile I wear it whenever it's bitter outside (and, being an Ohioan, that's often). I miss doing comic strips like I did in highschool. I can whip one out in a lot less time than a page, doing COTN just seems so daunting at the moment, what with so many credit hours and my job and everything. I really miss doing them though. I just gotta keep telling myself, that school'll be done by the end of the year. Then I can start focusing on my OWN art, not the tripe they have me make for a grade.
