Image collection

[tugrik]

As promised in an earlier post, here is a good selection of Tug-pics gathered over the years. Some are comissions; others are gifts. There's even three that I created myself -- one of which I'll probably delete. Eeyuck.

These are all the ones I could find sitting on my current machine's HD that I'd want to share. As I find more, scattered around various data repositories, I'll post them in the same directory. I also need to get one of my old scanners working again, as I have a handful on paper that need to be digitized. One in particular I promised I'd scan-and-send to explodingmikan -- sorry it's taking so long! While the thumbnails and web-sized pics are fine, be wary before clicking through to the full sized image: some are 8-9MB, suitable for high-res printing. The web page for each image tells you the size info, so just be cautious before you click!

There are definately more than this. I left out a whole horde of them that were drawn prior to 1992 or so, back when I was strangely ashamed of the 'non-normal features' of the character, such as the nose-mounted horn and other things. I let most people just believe the character was yet another generic fantasy-like critter, and most drew it as such... which while I really liked, really wasn't the character. I got over it eventually and started giving better descriptions before folks would draw. I'll stop spamming my LJ with picture-stuff for a while now. :)

I enjoyed looking through the archives and seeing the full details of the images where your LJ thumbnail comes from. Delightful!

Your pics are beautiful! You seem to be very well loved. ^_^

I'm still amazed every time someone sends me a picture. I find each one like a separate view of something I can't pen to life myself well enough. It's like waking up all blurry-eyed and having a whole group of friends there to help you see things. Makes me feel good, and I can't thank the artists enough! I do my best to give back even when they won't let me pay them. This is part of the reason I run the hosting sites I do (nearly 70 domains, mostly artists and webcomics creators), as a way to return the favor.

I can't draw. But if I could, I'd draw you sitting in a row boat in the middle of a lake. Yes, yes, a Tug Boat.

I can resist anything but temptation :)

Heh! When I get around to scanning the sketchbooks in, I have one just like that, but it's a boat on the Small World ride. A very amusing one by John Nunnemacher. (get the blue horse OFF THE BOAT) :)

I've long since lost it, but one of the earliest drawings done for me by a friend was a Tug just floating lazily around a pool, just ears and horntip showing. It was labelled, "Blue Oktober".

Hmmm, this reminds me that I have a few fragmentary sketches of things I was going to draw for you... I'm so horrible at finishing stuff sometimes.

I don't suppose you have the birthday art jam from Cedarcon lying around somewhere?

Just wonderin'...

Actually.... actually, I do. Yes. I think I know where it is, even, in a box up in Oregon (my parents' house). Thank you for reminding me of it. That picture is the very definition of 'good feelings of friends, on paper'.
