Mitzi

Mitzi
Corel Painter 11
This is how I learned to use Painter. I used a Wacom Cintiq (a monitor where you draw with a stylus directly on the screen) and I loved it. Mitzi is my girlfriend Tawni's rat that I feed sweets when Tawni isn't looking.

Sníla

Sníla
Watercolor
The Sníla are a sentient race of snails. Being invertebrates they hold themselves up with strong muscles. They are hermaphroditic and copulate with other members of their species by sticking them with a penisy-spear thing, while they get stuck as well. While most species of 'lesser' snails are promiscuous Sníla are generally monogamous. They are peaceful and enjoy slow paced activities like doing puzzles or eating toast.

Somber Kitty

Somber Kitty

Somber Kitty is a character from the May Bird trilogy by Jodi Lynn Anderson. In the book passing chipmunks think he's decidedly ugly but me and Tawni think he's cute.

Feco Frog

Feco Frog
Acrylic Outline with Digital Coloring
The idea for this frog was thought up by Tawni Benson. The frog is used as a toilet. You just plop down on those toilet-seat lips and do your business. Toilet paper is not necessary because the frog will lick you sparkly clean. The saliva is sanitary so you shouldn't worry about all the butt-holes it's licked in the past. Feco Frogs adore the taste of poo, especially vile, burning, diarrhea. And their digestive systems will recycle your disgusting waste into clean soil.

Bunny Bed

This is what I will sleep on in heaven. He is not stuffed, but a living creature. He sleeps twenty-three hours a day and only wakes up to eat toast. He never gets bored of toast as long as there is marmalade. Sometimes he rolls over, silly I know, and if you are asleep on him at the time you'd better not panic or you will most likely suffocate. The trick is to tickle him and he will turn back over. If you keep a cool head you can easily survive this terrifying awakening. Also his torso skeletal support structure is not a central spine, but a rim around the edge. This makes it comfier to sleep on him when he's sleeping on his stomach. No vertebrae or ribs, just a bunch of squishy guts!

Creatures For My Heaven

Bashi
Watercolor
Bashi is a good girl. She likes to eat garbage more than normal food. The nastier the tastier. She is what I will have instead of a garbage can in heaven. I will even let her lick my face because her saliva is sterile and purifying.

Dishwasher
Watercolor
This creature will live in the area in my sink where a disposal would go. He peeks at me as I put my dirty dishes in the sink. The he scrambles up and licks them all spotless. His saliva is also sterilizing.
