Pathmark on Patrol
Done as a Secret Santa gift for Pathmark's owner Annika. He is one of our scouts who patrols the edges of the tribe's territory. Was inspired for the background by the landscape photography of Aaron Reed, specifically a pic he did of Mt. Rainier, I think.
Brush-pen inks, Copic coloring, effects i…  Views: 1412 Comments: 1 Dec 27, 2015in River Twine Holt |
Notch and coyotes
Done as a present for Notch's owner Stacy. Not only is Notch one of the sly tricksters of the tribe; but his tribe-name before he was Notch was "Coyote"; and of course, he wears a coyote-face skin as the flap on his belt-pouch. So this was appropriate in all kinds of ways. (Coyote fur is a pain t…

Foxtail and foxes
Done as a present for Foxtail's owner Angie. I may do more portraits in this style (my original idea was to do Raven with ravens in the background; then I adapted the idea for Foxtail and Notch). Absolutely, looked at lots of refs of foxes in order to do the animal portraits here.
Brush-pen inks,… Views: 1532 Comments: 2 Dec 18, 2015in River Twine Holt |
Notch's Beauty
I took up needle-felting recently! It's really fun! This is my first wolf. Made completely out of natural-colored wool (except for the eyepatch, which is dyed red wool). He's about 4 or 5 inches long and about 3 inches high. This was done as a present for Notch's owner Stacy; Notch's wolf Beauty…

Crafting drums
I have been remiss in uploading stuff here (and at dA).
 So here, a selection of stuff from the past year. This is Raven on the left, and Rhythm on the right, doing some crafting of drums (with Muckabout the Preserver "helping"). Rhythm is one of our "beloved dead", while Raven (now facefurred)…

River Twine Holt 2015 Calendar - October
This was another collaboration with Stacy Lucas at RTH. We were assigned three female characters for our month, and decided to pad it out with a few more females in order to make an all-female hunting party -- seen here, obviously, howling with success around a kill. (The other sort of fun thing h…

Winter Adventure (illo for The Gathering Storm)
Done as a prize for Emberra, for a "leaving comments" challenge we held a couple of years ago. Prizes were an illustrated story, and Emberra owned Rill at the time, so Whitney wrote a side adventure for him within "The Gathering Storm" storyline. Her description of the setting was so evocative tha…

Welcome to the Family
Done as a trade for Rainpace's owner, Peggy / Saree. Going back in time a little bit, and showing Blacksnake congratulating his daughter Chicory and Rainpace on their Recognition. I don't think Rainpace ever, in a million years, thought he would get a hug from stern hunt-leader Blacksnake.

Illo for The Gathering Storm
This is another example of a collab between myself and Stacy L. (who owns Notch), the illustration of a key scene in a big recent storyline called "The Gathering Storm"; this was in Part 7, a scene written by Whitney.
Snowblind in a blizzard, Blacksnake and some of the wolves find themselves fa… Views: 4357 Comments: 2 Jul 03, 2014in River Twine Holt |
River Twine Halloween
So late last year we had a "Costume Party" AU art contest, and I did not get this done in time for that. But I had the ideas so strongly, I still wanted to do it. Usually when that happens I just have the ideas, but it gets pushed aside and I never complete it. This time I was determined.
I can… Views: 2795 Comments: 2 Mar 06, 2014in River Twine Holt |

RTH: Wolfmane and Dove
Done for a recent "New Life / New Love" contest at RTH. I had never actually drawn these two interacting before, and hadn't drawn them at all in years, so I wanted to try to do something with them that wasn't just a portrait. These are the parents of One-Leg and Blacksnake. Everybody says they ca…

Signs of Spring
Done as a trade for Fadestar's owner, Linda. Fadestar has only recently come into her gliding powers. I mostly had the idea of wanting to show her zooming up amongst a flock of birds, and picked bluebirds for the brightness and contrast to the wintery landscape. I… need more practice figuring out…

Dawn Hunt
This year's SeSa gift for Foxtail's owner, Angie -- Foxtail on a hunt, along with Thornbow and Crackle (in the background). For one of the tribe's main huntresses, I realized that Foxtail had never actually been depicted hunting, and I liked the idea of trying to convey the excitement of the pursui…

River Twine 2014 Calendar - June
This is an example of a collaboration, with fellow RTH member Stacy (who owns Notch). I did a basic sketch of the action and the background. Stacy inked it (digitally) and then did the coloring. It's always super-fun to do a collab like this. I love seeing how the art comes out when someone else'…

Dreamflight and Newt: Bird-feeding
Done as a trade for Dreamflight's former owner. Dreamflight is one of the tribe's enthusiastic bird-watchers and bird-callers, a hobby/skill she has shared with Newt (who is technically her… hmm, great-uncle, but due to timeline shenanigans, is also her younger adopted "brother"). This was a chanc…

A Gift from the Sea illo
I did this as an illustration for Whitney's story of the same title; this is Honey, when she was quite young, having a special, private encounter with a very different sort of "wolf". River Twine is located next to the sea, and while it's named for the many rivers in the area, the sea is an importa…

Illo for "Cubname"
I did this as an illustration for the story "Cubname" by Razzle, owner of Chicory; and also as an entry in the "Family Time" contest just ended at RTH. This was the story of Chicory's birth to Chieftess Easysinger and Blacksnake. There's a lot of family connections here -- their older son (and f…

Hair-craft
Our last contest's theme was "arts & crafts", which I'm stretching a bit conceptually here to include "hair-dressing" as... well, one of those, or perhaps both of those.
Given our tribe's level of technology, they won't have scissors, so I looked up some references on how people cut hair with st…

Tracks of Winter - Goldspice in color
I did this coloring job for Tah-marien, who said I should post it.
 I volunteered to help her come up with a more muted, winter-appropriate color scheme for this piece. I'm really indebted to Midnight's recent winter pictures for giving me an idea of how to add some sparkle to snow cover! I do… Views: 3907 Comments: 2 Feb 28, 2013in Others' Elves |
Farscout, Copper and Flea
This was done as a Secret Santa piece for Whitney, who owns Farscout. It's an illustration for her story "Changing of the Guard". In it, Flea, who was Farscout's wolf-friend, slowly changes her bond to his daughter, Copper, whom Flea has a part in raising.
I looked at a bunch of different wolf… Views: 4370 Comments: 2 Dec 23, 2012in River Twine Holt |
