Howdy Y'all,
It's been a long while since I last posted a journal or anything. I've been buzy with work( but not for long...sigh...), projects, and handling day to day life.
This month marks the first year anniversary of Togo Wolf's entry into my life. Togo is a REAL Red Wolf hybrid that I adopted with the help of my best friend who was the one who found out about him from fellow police officers. After jumping through lots of government hoops and getting the help of a Federal Wildlife Rehab permit holder, Togo was sprung from certain doom at the county animal control. He's been my buddy since...and maybe even a bit co-dependant. Togo can be really sweet or a little bratty, but he's great and a joy to live with.

Sadly, this last summer saw the passing of one of the greatest critters I've ever known...another wolf, Hunter.
Hunter was an Alaskan Gray Wolf and was HUGE! The fellow was also extremely sweet and intelligent. The old boy was almost 15 years old when complications from cancer took him from those that loved him( I start to break down when I look at his pictures and video). He is truly missed by all that knew him. Hunter is survived by his owner( the same guy that got me Togo) and Kyla, a sweet female white wolf.

Wolf ownership isn't for just anyone, you have to be attentive, be able to read wolf intentions, have patience...lots of that...really, be able to stand your ground and exert authority( you gotta be a parent, basically) and a willingness to give much needed attention to the critters.
But the rewards are worth it.

I'm gonna post some pics of the three wolves, my friends, in my scraps.

I've sent a 14 page submmission to the "North American Furs" 'zine by Jarlidium Press, of their issue #23. Most of it is stuff I have already posted here, but since I'm "introducing myself" in that issue I decided to use some of my best anthro stuff...at least according to your visits to specific pieces here on DA. For the next issue, #24, I'm going to put up all new stuff. But don't worry Deviants, I'll post the color versions of most of what I produce( but I'll still have to have some "NAF exclusives") for that issue!
Visit the folks over at Jarlidium and check out their stuff!!

I'm doing some more vehicles for Steve Satak's Battletech TRO project, including a new version of the "Striker Light Tank".
Also, I'm still working on "Stellar Horizons" projects, finishing a module, and working on the first of two weapons books...lots to do.
But soon I'll have more time...I'm about to be laid off from my job...but they do want me back in the spring...if I don't find something else that pays better( fat chance under the "Rule of O"...even in Texas).
Soon I'll be posting assorted new art...new anthros, some vehicles, and other character art.

Have a nice day!

x3 Hey mate, I was just wondering the other day- for A-Kon, the main T-Shirt design was done by someone that won a contest or summat right? Do they do that every year or was it a one time thing? Cuz I might try to enter next years :paranoid: if they're still doing it

--

The main con t-shirt contest is indeed held yearly and will be done so in the future, so go for it!!
