As Finished as It Gets

Lemme be up front with you: I don't "finish" many drawings. I just don't. I draw almost exclusively in sketchbooks, and inking in sketchbooks is really gross; and I can't color because I'm colorblind. (I've had far too many unintentionally hilarious episodes of painting the inside of someone's mouth green, or of staring at three different brown colored pencils trying to pick out the one I think is red, not to have learned my lesson.)

So if you're looking for "finished" drawings, the best I can offer are these pseudo-finished sketches. Most of them are fairly decently cleaned-up pencil drawings, with as much detail as I ever manage to muster. I hope that's all right, because honestly, you don't want to see the alternative.

Note: Dates on images are the dates of the scans, not necessarily the dates of the drawings.

I always liked how this one turned out, even though it's sort of old... I
guess that's part of why I liked it: it was way better than the pages
before and after it.

I'm not sure what a lion thinks he's doing acting like a top, but...

This guy is referenced from an ocelot character drawn by Frank Gembeck,
Jungle Boy. Credit where it's due, y'know.
[IMG] PonyCar.webp 07/12/2000 80 KB
I got on some kind of "car" kick at some point in 2001 or thereabouts;
this one's a Ferrari F355, and the guy with his ass in the air is
supposed to represent the rampant stallion in the Ferrari logo.

[IMG] Diablo.webp 07/14/2000 82 KB
Similarly, a bull for the Lamborghini Diablo. It helps that Lamborghini
uses the names of famous Spanish bulls for the names of its cars; if I
were to continue this series with the Murciélago and the Gallardo,
I could use the same character.

Unfortunately, I never liked this one as much as the Ferrari one.
[IMG] Mongoose.webp 09/19/2000 91 KB
A mongoose, for the new Qvale Mangusta. I just saw two of these in one
day on I-85 a couple of weeks ago...

This kinda breaks from the "logo animal" theme of the series, which I'd
say means the series was pretty ill-conceived to start with. Ah well.

[IMG] DuCati.webp 09/23/2000 121 KB
Well, okay, one more: a Ducati 996, for a friend who's absolutely horny
for them.
[IMG] HollowKitty.webp 08/09/2000 45 KB
I suppose this one really doesn't deserve comment, does it? Sorry, everyone.

[IMG] LionLeopard.webp 10/12/2000 120 KB
There's that lion thinking he's a top again. Someone better put him in
his place, right quick now...
[IMG] WhatchaWaitingFor.webp 07/23/2001 93 KB
Okay, this is more like it. That's the side of a lion we like to see.
[IMG] PartyAnimal.webp 10/13/2000 111 KB
I can't even begin to remember what this was for, if anything. I think
maybe I'd gotten it into my head that action poses and cutoff shorts were
a winning combination.
[IMG] SMBK.webp 12/05/2000 129 KB
This is another one that's pretty old, but that I really like anyway. The
expression on the guy's face is destined to be another of those things
I'll never be able to replicate, I think.
[IMG] YiffySub.webp 01/09/2001 103 KB
Okay, silly story behind this one. I was in Vegas, and a t-shirt store had
matching shirts with the slogans "It's Good the Be the King" and "It's
Good to Be the Queen", with a lion and a lioness respectively, each
wearing super-hip shades. So in the interest of setting the record
straight...

Character design for a friend of mine. He later took this and vectorized
it into a Flash.
[IMG] Leopard.webp 07/15/2001 106 KB
Another friend in feline form.
[IMG] CheetahBeanbag.webp 07/23/2001 123 KB
A friend wanted a sketch of his character to hang on the wall of his
apartment after he moved to Seattle. So I did this, gave him the
original, and kept the scan.
[IMG] InsignificantOther.webp 09/02/2004 94 KB
Okay, so sometimes I do get a little bit snarky. Pay me no mind.
[IMG] SnowmeowButt.webp 07/29/2001 124 KB
The only problem with snow leopards is that they've got this humungous
tail you have to push out of the way...
[IMG] LapKitty.webp 07/29/2001 126 KB
Then again, maybe it's not that much of a problem at all. The biggest
problem is getting them out of your lap when you need to get some work done.
[IMG] LeopardBait.webp 08/29/2001 148 KB
This is a good friend of mine, and believe it or not, with the exception
of being human, he looks about just like this. This drawing was easily
recognized by just about everyone who knew him, so I was pretty pleased
with it.
[IMG] ShowerFun.webp 08/29/2001 141 KB
It's too bad water makes such a miserable lube; otherwise, showers and
hot tubs would be all the more alluring places to meet.
[IMG] Yote.webp 08/29/2001 91 KB
Character portrait for a friend of mine.
[IMG] BoundLion1.webp 08/29/2001 106 KB
These next few pictures I drew with some, er, rather vivid inspiration
happening not ten feet away.

So, um, that's my excuse if the proportions start getting a little wonky...
[IMG] BoundLion2.webp 08/29/2001 93 KB
Normally I'm not much for bondage... but as long as it's minor, and leads
to poses like this, I have no objections at all.

[IMG] BoundLion3.webp 08/29/2001 124 KB
There are some balance problems with the legs on this one, but again I
must plead extenuating circumstances. I was, er, kinda distracted...
[IMG] MelonBall.webp 09/03/2001 155 KB
It's the new sport of the century! Grease up a watermelon with Vaseline,
then heave it into the swimmin' hole with a bunch of guys with life
jackets strapped around their hips (so they can float and flail without
having to worry about treading water). Then play football with it! It's
tons of fun.
[IMG] YoteTorso.webp 09/03/2001 151 KB
This character portrait became more of a study of flexed chest muscles
than anything else; and I think it turned out pretty well.
[IMG] IFeelPretty.webp 09/08/2001 114 KB
What do you do when a hot little lion starts dressing like a girl? Well,
hey, go with it...
[IMG] ButtButtTheButt.webp 09/08/2001 102 KB
Okay, call me self-satisfied or whatever—but I just love this one.
I think it's one of the most successful things I've ever done; it's just
really satisfying, in its weight and balance and three-dimensionality and
just in general how it "feels". ...Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna
spend a few minutes evaluating how it "feels".
[IMG] LionYoteReam.webp 09/16/2001 92 KB
I'll bet they don't hate having their tails tugged on that much...
at least, depending on the circumstances.
[IMG] LionButt.webp 09/16/2001 103 KB
This is another one I'm really pretty happy with. What is it with lions
and butts? I guess it's just a subject that agrees with me. If there's a
lion butt in front of my face, I just nod and nod and nod...
[IMG] RoaringOrgasm.webp 09/17/2001 144 KB
Is it sexier for a lion to roar during orgasm, or for a wolf to howl? I'm
sure it depends on your personal viewpoint. Me, I'm partial to both doing
it at once...
[IMG] AMomentToHimself.webp 09/17/2001 94 KB
After a long day of standing in suggestive poses, what does our lion do
as soon as the cameras are off? Why, the same thing you or I would do,
I'm sure...
[IMG] PetLion.webp 09/22/2001 121 KB
Okay, this is just too cute to live.

I'm not at all sure how the physics of this arrangement work, though. I'm
sure a tesseract is involved somewhere...
[IMG] SubbyLionWaitThatsRedundant.webp 09/22/2001 123 KB
I'm totally seriously. Is it really necessary to say "subby lion"?
I mean, isn't that the soul of redundancy?
[IMG] PreyLion.webp 09/22/2001 89 KB
I'm not quite as pleased with this one; something about the perspective
seems off.
[IMG] TimeToGetUp.webp 09/23/2001 80 KB
Heeee. I love this one. Based on a true story! ...Or something.
[IMG] TailHigh.webp 10/17/2001 85 KB
My bed's missing one of these. I need to pick one up immediately.
[IMG] Mrew.webp 10/18/2001 77 KB
Awww. See, here's the thing: a lion in bondage is, like, such overkill.
You want a lion to be a bottomy little squirmy bitch, all you have to do
is ask nicely... there's no need for shackles and chains...
[IMG] LionSnowmeowHump.webp 10/18/2001 109 KB
Oh, how very depraved.

But just remember, it's the female snow leopards that are
impossible to reason with, because they hate males of every species.
Males, however, and probably largely for that very reason, will take
whatever attention they can get...

[IMG] Lion-Cat5.webp 10/30/2001 161 KB
Yeah, yeah, I know it's a dorky joke... but it's a serviceable icon for
printing up and taping to the storage bins where the cables are. Or so
I'm told...
[IMG] Lullaby.webp 11/12/2001 141 KB
My First iPod. Yeah, I got mine the very first weekend they were
released—one of the original 5GB ones. And it serenaded me to sleep
that night.
[IMG] HelplessLion.webp 11/18/2001 119 KB
There was photo reference used for this. Good thing, too, because I don't
think I'd have had much luck trying to replicate this pose without
something to base it on...
[IMG] Birthday.webp 09/17/2004 140 KB
I did this for a liony friend I was visiting. Yes, he's supposed to be
that effeminate... though I'm not quite so sure about the huge-headedness
of the other guy.
[IMG] FlightSuit.webp 01/06/2002 104 KB
For a couple of friends of mine, possibly for Valentine's Day. You know,
it must suck mightily to have to worry about your fur getting stuck in a
zipper all along your body...
[IMG] TTtB-Impalas.webp 01/19/2002 134 KB
I couldn't resist... an illustration from a story I liked.

Male deeer humping each other? Check. Young lion hiding in the bushes
being traumatized? Check. Accurate knowledge of cervine anatomy? Uh...
lemme get back to you on that one.
[IMG] BarSlut.webp 01/19/2002 89 KB
I dunno, I'm getting these really subtle signals from this guy over here
at the bar... I don't know what he's trying to tell me...
[IMG] NoseToNose.webp 01/30/2002 100 KB
Now that's some textbook afterglow, right there.

This is like that cat-and-the-piece-of-buttered-toast thing: if you stick
two lions together, since neither one can be on the top, do they just
float in the air spinning and acting as a perpetual-motion machine?
[IMG] LapLion.webp 01/30/2002 152 KB
Gimme.
[IMG] ValentineLion.webp 02/13/2002 137 KB
Valentine's Day is the day for subtle and chaste greetings from one
sweetheart to another, suggesting with restrained innuendo the
possibility of a romantic tryst.
[IMG] Foursome.webp 02/23/2002 145 KB
Yeah, this actually happened... and it's reproduced as accurately as I
know how.

I couldn't work in the bit about grabbing the distant pump-action lube
bottle by hooking it with my foot and conveying it over to where it was
needed, though...
[IMG] AllDressed.webp 02/24/2002 115 KB
I've always been amused by Canada's sheer variety of seasonings and
flavorings for things like chips, popcorn, and other snack items.
Particularly noteworthy, to my way of thinking, is the one called "All
Dressed".
[IMG] NowIveGotYou.webp 03/15/2002 193 KB
Here's how you get fucked by a lion: you trick him into thinking he's on
the bottom, through use of a suitably bodacious buttplug.

I like the lion's teeth in this one. Makes him look sort of like halfway
between "You insidious bastard!" and "Holy crap that's good!"
[IMG] ManeChaser.webp 06/11/2002 137 KB
"Hello, everybody... my name is Chris McKinley, and... I'm a mane chaser."

Characters from that story idea with Morty the bunny. These guys' motives
are fairly obvious, or ought to be...
[IMG] KDragon.webp 07/08/2002 160 KB
Character design for a dragon friend of mine; normally stuff like this is
totally alien to me, but this proved an interesting challenge. And I
don't think it turned out half bad.

Not that I want to do something like this again necessarily, mind...

Portrait for an old, old friend of mine (he knew me before I was
drawing).

Ever more grist for the best-side-of-a-lion gallery. If nothing else,
this series has given me plenty of practice at drawing butts...
[IMG] DF.webp 11/10/2002 101 KB
Character sketch I did for someone with a very specific description. It
involved a nine-foot-long tail. This was about the only way I
could think to get it all in frame at once...

A horny lion. Imagine such a thing!

[IMG] SuckingContest.webp 01/07/2003 89 KB
It's always a contest, whether acknowledged or not: Who can finish

[IMG] Mrow.webp 02/14/2003 86 KB
I can't remember if this was supposed to be a name badge for myself, or
for a friend... but I'll take it, if it's not spoken for.
[IMG] MEVday.webp 02/20/2003 96 KB
Valentine's card for a couple of friends.

Are you maybe picking up on the theme that most of the stuff I consider
"finished" consists of stuff I've drawn for friends?
[IMG] SkinnyCheetah.webp 04/27/2003 80 KB
Cheetahs are interesting to draw. Far more complex than they appear at
first blush. And I'm not at all sure I have them down...
[IMG] TrailHead.webp 04/29/2003 143 KB
Okay, so my imagination breaks loose of its chains every now and then and
goes off binging without me. That's okay, because it always brings me
back a little something.

What? You say this isn't what happens to you every time you go on
a hike?

[IMG] KMHump.webp 05/08/2003 100 KB
The thing about big felines being so, er, modestly endowed is that
they're all compatible with each other, regardless of relative size. Yay!
[IMG] Roux.webp 05/11/2003 91 KB
A roo-y friend of mine. And yes, yes, I know all about the fabled
kangaroo balls that are supposed to go on the other side of the cock. I
like it better this way. So blah!
[IMG] LionCheetah.webp 12/02/2003 159 KB
These next two were done for a cheetah fellow with some very vivid and
compelling pieces of imagery to bestow upon me. And since the most
precious of commodities for me is compelling and drawable imagery, who
was I to resist?
[IMG] WolfCheetah.webp 12/02/2003 223 KB
I know that's one long-ass torso. But what the hell, I like this anyway,
somehow...
[IMG] WMorning.webp 02/04/2004 114 KB
The deal here (I know it's not the best-composed piece in the world) is
supposed to be that the lion dude is getting up, stretching, and then
suddenly noticing his morning wood. Nothing more esoteric. Not the most
successful of outings.
[IMG] ATSquirt.webp 02/04/2004 158 KB
Now then, this... I love how this one worked out. I think
the squirrel's face (and his cock and the spooge) are among my favorites
in this whole collection.

That's a high-pressure little squirrel, in any case, yesno?
[IMG] MLionDoorway.webp 06/13/2004 200 KB
A friend in England sent me photos of his nude self to use in drawing him
as a lion. Uncut cocks aren't something I get a lot of experience
drawing, so this was a welcome challenge... as was working with facial
hair on a muzzle.
[IMG] MLionHorse.webp 07/08/2004 94 KB
Same guy, in a somewhat more compromising position.

I just love his face squished into the ground. That just "happened"; I
could never have planned it.
[IMG] DCHusky.webp 09/02/2004 132 KB
This guy asked me to draw him, sent me a description, then... vanished
off the face of the earth, and his e-mail started bouncing. Ah
well—his loss, our gain, huh?
[IMG] Shower.webp 09/02/2004 187 KB
Based on a true story. The species have no bearing on the players in
question, except (in some kind of generic sense) the way I'd have
characterized their respective bearing and attitude.

What the hell am I babbling about?

We never see enough porn of these guys. The setting seemed to just be too
perfect not to use.
[IMG] StallionGeyser.webp 09/02/2004 82 KB
I drew this one outside, under the trees, sitting on a rock; and just as
I was finishing, a tree dripped sap on it.

Either the tree was turned on, or Mother Nature disapproves of my vile
burlesque of her creations. Neither possibility would surprise me.
