She's got enough strength for two people, and isn't shy to show it.

She still has trouble dragging her lazy husband off the living room sofa, though.

The artist was in the mood to do some warmup sketch commissions on the cheap, so I offered up Tawny for some [rare] uncolored goodness. I got some really nice line work for a sketch! :)

I told the artist Leslie was a musician and a bookworm. He decided to draw Leslie engaging in both hobbies at the same time. I don't doubt she can, and would, do that.

Al surprises me again with a random gift, this time to test out some new solvent-based markers. I'm not brave enough to color with markers!

It's like Nokino was made for this artist's style. :)

An utterly fantastic rendering of my little purple lady! It's rare I get treated to such wild, glossy color!

Noramlly I prefer to link to a single gallery with the same content rating as my commission, and I do recommend the artist's gallery on DA, but she also has some really nice mature content on Inkbunny, too.

Yet another surpise gift for my birthday! The artist says that they are playing air guitar together, but I'm sure Wac is secretly playing air banjo. I'm also sure Tawny enjoys this much more than when Wac plays banjo for real!

Either way, they do make such sweet music together.

A surpise gift for my birthday! Pink and purple is always in style!

I was recently feeling down given that my puppet hasn't been developing as well as I had hoped, and my good friend Al drew this for me. We had some discussion about character development in my old comics (ie, the good ol' days) and it cheered me up quite a bit.

Sugar cookies never tasted so sweet! What better way to celebrate the holidays than watching sappy, decades-old Christmas classics?

Sittin' pretty, an' all that jazz.

Hey, it's been a while since Leslie has had some limelight, and Yo-Snap's style just feels like a natural fit for cats. Part of a series of YCH drawings I ordered a while ago and are trickling in.

I wanted this pose for Leslie, since she's a modest little thing — probably the most of all my characters.

Sofas are boring. What better way to end the day than curled up in a nice, squishy bean bag?

Aw, so sweet! Nokino loves her fuzzy dumpling.

Tawny always looks brilliant in her dressy outfit. She must be really smitten with what hubby is wearing if she's blushing that much. ;)

Ooh, some nice textures to go along with this. It's been a long time since I've used the checkerboard pattern in any of my own art.

A stroll? A swagger? Nope, this active lady always has a skip in her stride.

The more I look at this, the more I think a single-piece robe suits Leslie better. Also, I need to have her drawn more often and give her some more hobbies.

Heh... kinda appropriate that my photographer lady is posing in B&W. She's the artsy one.

Another completely random gift! Aw, yeah... now that I think about it, Tawny's voice sounds an awful lot like Lisa Lougheed.

I'd bet Tawny would be quite flattered to pair up with one of the prettiest raccoons to appear on TV.

BTW, I was a kid of the 80's and already loved raccoons back then, but believe it or not, I never saw any episodes of The Raccoons until a couple years ago on the Internet. I have the theme music on my playlist while doing my exercises — it's good music for workouts.
