Surprise gift for Moonstalker on my "surprise gift Sunday!" :D His art already makes you happy and wet, but now you'll be even wetter now that this wolf has super soakers! Either way, go check out his art (he is on Yiffit!). He's brilliantly talented and one of my favorite artists! Enjoy! Oh, ha... I had that one song from Mercenaries 2 stuck in my head as I painted this... "Oh no, Oh no, Oh no Yo Yo Yo Oh no you didn't Sucker tried to play me But you never paid me, Neva Oh no you didn't Payback is a' coming You will be runnin', foreva Oh no you didn't Until i get my vengeance I will never end this mayhem Oh no you didn't I'm a mercenary You ain't got a prayer, you owe MEEEEEE" Damn song. I love that song. Moonstalker © R. Foley 2008 Art © S. Henson 2008

Gift for Gryffins by Spirit Creations

Sun, 31 Aug 2008 22:16:55 -0000

Surprise gift for Gryffins! :) Out of currently 1,838 watchers on my FA watchlist, MS Excel chose :icongryffins: as the winner of the random free art gift thing! Congratulations Gryffins! :D I saw on his user page that he likes soda, so I sneakily asked him what his favorite was, and he said Jolt (although he always drinks Pepsi!). So, we have Gryffins chilling on a beach scene, which I decided to do since he had another beach scene picture of his character in his gallery, and I chose the same outfit, as well. Enjoy hun! I wonder who will be the winner next time! Gryffins © his respective player 2008 Art © S. Henson 2008

The Dream by Spirit Creations

Mon, 07 Jul 2008 00:04:24 -0000

There is this recurrent dream I have where I am walking through the walls of my grandparents home, trying to get to this wonderful room full of awesome things. However, it's really hard to get to the room. There's weird cloth, cobwebs, broken wooden beams, and random junk laying everywhere as I wiggle through the walls, and the fact that I keep sticking to the floor. So, we see a siamese/himalayan mix cat having the same dream. Like my dream, there is surprise goodies laying everywhere, plus some spooky surprises. As in my dream, it's somewhat in color, but mostly black and white. Everything is skewed funny and there is some weird static. Welcome to what I dream about at night... except it features an adorable kitty! :) I wonder if he is trying to get to my favorite room, as well! Limited prints available! :D I will only have 15 sold.

Colonial America by Spirit Creations

Mon, 30 Jun 2008 00:15:05 -0000

A colonial revolutionary crosses a cold,icy river during a frigid winter as he searches for the New World. As I was painting this, I realized how close it is to July 4th, so I was happy for the coincidence, as this was not meant to be a picture for Independence Day. Either way, happy July 4th! :D You didn't know our founding fathers were dogs? :) For the first time in a long time, I am very happy with out this came out. I really like the new texture I was experimenting with! © S. Henson 2008

Old art I decided to finish tonight after doing a ton of commission sketches. This young blue merle shetland sheepdog meteorologist is literally chasing his dreams... that of being a storm chaser, awe inspired by the horrific twister in front of him. © S. Henson 2008

Ilani the Porcupine by Spirit Creations

Wed, 06 Feb 2008 07:51:22 -0000

Here is the completed version of my secondary character, Ilani the Porcupine. Originally, I drew her rather angry looking, since she does have a short temper, however, she ended up looking rather amused. In the background you see Kahle Air Repair, which she owns. However, it's a bit of a rust bucket. ;) Ilani and Art © S. Henson 2008

Big Ben by Spirit Creations

A Scottish rabbit aims with his trusty bow and arrow. I felt like doing a cold, damp piece. Also, big thanks to Scraffic, jill0r, and Richard Bartrop for help showing me how to do shadows correctly. ;) Still not perfect yet! Art © S. Henson 2007

Inali Character Reference Sheet by Spirit Creations

Sun, 18 Nov 2007 04:15:11 -0000

A reference sheet of my character, Inali. If you're wondering what a Xelorian is, it's an alien species I created in 1999. :) Here we see Inali in her usual form, which is her tribal self. Inali is Makele, which is a race of Xelorians. Makele are a tropical race hailing from the equatorial islands in the Marianic Ocean, the largest of all oceans on Xelaros. Everyone is welcome to draw her, but no pornographic images, please. Nudity is absolutely fine, as I am a nudist, but no sexual situations. Cute, suggestive poses are fine, as well. :) On the left-hand side, she is seen wearing her regular everyday beach outfit with her staff, which features the skull and feathers of a Kei'li bird. On the right-hand side, she is seen wearing her full tribal ritual gear and holding a warrior's Koena spear, adorned with Kei'li feathers in her hair and around her arms. I'll draw a nudey reference soon to better show her markings. :) Inali © S. Henson 2007

Storms in Africa by Spirit Creations

Mon, 09 Jul 2007 15:52:41 -0000

Inspired by Enya's song, "Storms in Africa," and dedicated to my dear friend Rew who loves marozi's. A marozi is a real animal, by the way, and is a cross between a lion and a leopard. Granted, these generally are not the colors of a marozi. Anyways, I've been working on this for 3-4 weeks now between commissions while waiting on customers to reply and on my "commission day off," which is Sunday, and which is why it took me so long to do. That mane...those spots... gah. Took me forever to paint! Also, he's clawing into a hoof print in the ground, but that did not show up too well. Note: I did use wolfy-nail's piece "Reactiv(colored)" for help with referencing the pose and foreshortening. However, I altered the pose a bit to my liking. © S. Henson 2007

Dance of the Quetzal by Spirit Creations

Wed, 16 May 2007 18:50:56 -0000

Here we have a Mayan maned wolf doing the Dance of the Quetzal! This is one of the few pieces where there is no line art whatsoever. I'm trying my hand out at fur texture. I don't like the gold on him too much. I need to learn how to paint metallics. Not that gold is that color in real life anyways. I love the plant though that is off to his left. After painting this, I think I broke my wrist. Print available. © S. Henson 2007
