Ravenous / Main Gallery Here is my non-Evilish-related original art. (Evilish art is on the Evilish website, in the Cast page.) My gift/fan/etc. art is not here, it's on the Gift/Fan/Etc. Gallery page. I also have a gallery at DeviantART, where you can find a few more of my older and scrap pieces.

Name: Angry Eating Blue Pineapple Date completed: 12/10/07 Medium: CG Source: stock photo for referencing the man © Emily Kuznia A design class project: making a movie poster out of a jumble of words. Warning, it's bloody and violent.

Name: Bottle City Date completed: 12/09/07 Medium: Prismacolor colored pencils Source: here © Emily Kuznia 22"x30". A large and exhausting still-life of bottles, done in Prismacolor colored pencils. Took a damn long time. I modified it a little too. I couldn't read the stuff on that middle front bottle since it was blurry in the photo and I didn't have the original bottle, so I just put "CHEWY" on it. And I left out some background clutter, such as someone's hand. I'm not sure how I feel about this piece. The blue/green bottle on the far right looks abstract compared to the other bottles... that's because it was very blurry in the photo and I didn't know where the bottle itself was, so I kinda had to make it sharper on my own, and it looks a bit off. It was suggested that I add a little more color and smooth out the bottle on the far left, so I'm going to do that when I feel up to it.

Name: Guitar Party Date completed: 10/23/07 Medium: Graphite Source: here © Emily Kuznia 22"x30". Overly-complicated giant still-life pencil drawing of a guitar, bowl, bows, bottles, and a CD. It's a big drawing, the bow in the middle is bigger than my hand. Done for my Drawing II class.

Name: Baryonyx Date completed: 10/15/07 Medium: Prismacolor colored pencils Source: n/a © Emily Kuznia Baryonyx, an awesome piscivorous dinosaur from the Cretaceous period, related to spinosaurus. Well, I was going to draw a dragon, but it was looking more like a dinosaur, so I went ahead and made it into a baryonyx. The snout should be longer and less crooked, and there should be twice as many teeth... but, nitpicking aside, I like how it turned out. I've made it my mission to only draw dinosaurs in crazy bright colors.

Name: Twisted Junkyard Date completed: 2007 Medium: Gouache on matte board Source: Newsweek article photo for reference © Emily Kuznia Well, this is based on a picture of a junkyard. It had some school buses in it, which you can probably see in the painting. There was also a telephone pole, which is what the big cross is.

Name: Mushrooms Guitar Date completed: 2007 Medium: India Ink and Prismacolor marker on white bristol boards on black foam-core Source: Newsweek article photos for referencing the first and last images © Emily Kuznia The assignment was to draw something organic and something inorganic. The next day, the surprise assignment was to draw three in-between drawings of one turning into the other. Each panel is 7"x10" and the whole thing is 40"x13".

Name: Toxic Serpent Date completed: 08/24/07 Medium: CG Source: n/a © Emily Kuznia This took a long time to make... but I am quite pleased with it. I made it with the intention of using it as the new front for my site. The details were tedious, but I kept patient.

Name: Smoke Lions Date completed: 06/10/07 Medium: Acrylic on Canvas Source: n/a © Emily Kuznia Awhile back I was making up a bunch of creatures. One was a smoke lion; a lion with dark gray fur, smoke for mane, red teeth and claws, and a glowing mouth. I've been meaning to paint them for awhile. Finally got it done... so, here's a pride of smoke lions.

Name: Disco Steve Date completed: 05/31/07 Medium: Pencil, CG Source: Background is from the Phoenix Wright games © Emily Kuznia Tall and lanky, but not as tall as he appears thanks to his platform shoes. He wears strong cologne and has glued fake hair to his chest. His afro, however, is his real hair. Sometimes he loses things in it... combs, food, small children... but he cares for it obsessively to keep it in its large spherical orange glory, like a fluffy miniature sun. Disco Steve thinks he's still in the 70s. When he wins a case, the lights dim and a disco ball drops from the ceiling while disco beats play from an unknown source. When he loses a case, his majestic afro deflates.

Name: Anomalcarid Date completed: 05/29/07 Medium: Pencil Source: n/a © Emily Kuznia Yearrrgh!! I EATS YOUR FACE! Horrifying prehistoric ocean critter, gift for my friend Ianthe, who happens to like that sort of thing.

Name: Lyzer Cachapo Date completed: 05/17/07 Medium: Pencil, CG Source: n/a © Emily Kuznia A character I made up named Lyzer Cachapo. He's a psychic, a telekinetic manifester. His specialty is making keys that can unlock anything.

Name: Sleepy Bird Date completed: 05/01/07 Medium: Pencil Source: n/a © Emily Kuznia 22"x30". I took a photo of a Sun Conure parrot and drew an outline of it on giant paper for a drawing assignment. It was a charming little bird that posed nicely while I was photographing it.

Name: Sea Serpent versus Tuna Date completed: 05/01/07 Medium: Pencil Source: n/a © Emily Kuznia 22"x30". A large one-point perspective drawing of a sea serpent attacking a school of blue-finned tuna fish. Originally I was planning on drawing a one-point perspective of a bunch of bees or wasps flying towards the viewer... but it was hard to draw a swarm of insects, so I decided to do this instead. Maybe some other day.

Name: Cretaceous Cowboys Date completed: 04/10/07 Medium: Watercolors, Prismacolor colored pencils Source: n/a © Emily Kuznia This thing is 22"x30". I did a light watercolor base and then drew everything with Prismacolor colored pencils over it. Basically, it depicts cowboys in a cretaceous environment. It's intentionally full of unlikelihoods (such as that little fence being enough to contain dinosaurs) and outrageous colors (hey, I can color them whatever I want, nobody knows what color dinosaurs were). The saddled and bridled ones are tyrannosauruses, the horses of the scene. I based their colors off of the Longiserpa. Who wouldn't love to ride a tamed tyrannosaurus? The green and yellow ones are triceratops, the cattle of the scene. The one in front that's being branded is a calf, otherwise it would be much bigger. The purple and red raptors are the velociraptors, the herding dogs of the scene. They're even wearing collars. I was debating between drawing them with the feather layout seen here, and nearly covering them with feathers. But I tried drawing both on another piece of paper and this way looked much better. The orange and purple flying ones are pteranodons. The big one between them is a quetzalcoatlus. The inspiration for this drawing... was prettymuch a question of what kind of fun fantasies might kids have? Riding a t-rex seemed like a good one to draw, and it went on from there. It's cowboys gone way back in time. The photo is pretty blurry. Maybe someday I'll take a better picture and re-upload this so you can see the details better.

Name: Long-finned Mermaid Date completed: 04/02/07 Medium: Prismacolor colored pencils Source: n/a © Emily Kuznia A mermaid with long torn fins, sitting on a pinnacle. Her design is loosely based on the mermaids in my comic.

Name: Butterfly Dragon version 2 Date completed: 04/01/07 Medium: Prismacolor colored pencils Source: n/a © Emily Kuznia A new, colored version of the Butterfly Dragon. Don't be fooled by its gentle appearance; they're quite vicious.

Name: Hikoi Date completed: 03/31/07 Medium: Prismacolor colored pencils Source: n/a © Emily Kuznia A fire koi. Flames for fins. Again, something I just scribbled up so I'd have something to sell. A fish with flames for fins seemed contradictory enough to be interesting.

Name: Intent Date completed: 03/31/07 Medium: Prismacolor colored pencils Source: n/a © Emily Kuznia This is just a made-up dinosaurian animal I sketched up with Prismas.

Name: Turkey Date completed: 02/06/07 Medium: Pencil Source: n/a © Emily Kuznia Just a large contour drawing of a stuffed turkey and the junk it was surrounded by. Whee. I drew it as a countour drawing assignment for a class. I could have drawn a stuffed peacock instead, but the turkey interested me more.

Name: Volcano Dragon Date completed: 08/31/06 Medium: Clay, Acrylic Source: n/a © Emily Kuznia The biggest sculpture I've ever made (roughly 11 and a half inches tall), incredibly time-consuming... and one of my best dragons. I did this piece the dishonor of waiting nearly a year to finish painting it since I was so exhausted with it. But after staring angrily at it for nearly a year, I finished it, and now it's done. I'm absolutely amazed that this thing didn't explode in the kiln, and that no part if it broke. It's so heavy and delicate. I could probably make something more detailed and free-standing if I used sculpey like nearly every other dragon sculptor does, but this is made of ceramic clay. It's hollow on the inside, of course. Before I added the scales and wings, I sliced it in half and hollowed it out. There's some things I'm not happy with. Mostly minor anatomy issues... and I should have painted it a brighter color so it stands out from the volcano better... (dark purple/red is fun, though). Oh well.

Name: Green Peak Dragon Date completed: ? Medium: Clay, Acrylic Source: n/a © Emily Kuznia A nice little dragon sculpture I sculpted sometime in late 2005. I like it because I managed to sculpt an open wing. The head and a couple horns broke off before it got fired, but I successfully glued them back on afterwards.

Name: Gorgon's Collection Date completed: 08/18/06 Medium: CG Source: Greek mythology © Emily Kuznia All she wants is a frieeeend... I had other things I should have been working on, but I had this image in my head, so I decided to make it happen before I lost it. This is a gorgon surrounded by her collection of victims, turned to stone upon seeing her. Most of all this was much-needed sketching, coloring, and shading practice with my new tablet.

Name: Longiserpa Date completed: 02/06/06 Medium: Pencil, CG Source: n/a © Emily Kuznia Giant serpent-type thing I made up. It uses the elongated scales on its back to glide, and it folds them back so it can burrow under sand in the desert. Sketched size comparison with folded scales, here.

Name: Typhonean animal Seth Date completed: 02/03/06 Medium: Pencil, CG Source: Egyptian mythology © Emily Kuznia In Egyptian mythology, the god Seth (Set) has a man's body and the head of a mythological creature called the Typhonean animal. I tried drawing that animal here.

Name: Deep Sea Coelacanth Date completed: 01/11/06 Medium: Acrylic on canvas Source: n/a © Emily Kuznia Coelacanths are fish that have been unchanged for millions of years, and were thought to be extinct until one was found in 1938. I felt like painting one after watching a PBS documentary...

Name: Water Serpent Date completed: 12/23/05 Medium: Wire, Plaster, Cling Wrap, Acrylic Source: n/a © Emily Kuznia Yes, mixed-media. Plaster is crazy to work with, I hope I won't need to in the future. I started with a wire skeleton, with some wires sticking out for fins. I added plaster, let it set, smoothed it with a knife and sandpaper, put clear cling wrap on the fins, and painted the body with acrylic paints.

Name: Velociraptor Head Date completed: 11/25/05 Medium: Clay, Acrylic Source: n/a © Emily Kuznia A clay sculpture of a velociraptor head... painted white, purple, and red (because I like those colors). The open mouth was a challenge, it was open wider originally but the clay settled under its own weight and closed a bit before it dried. None of the teeth broke, thankfully. I accidentally made the eyes kinda small, though...

Name: Australian Griffin Date completed: 11/15/05 Medium: Clay, Acrylic Source: n/a © Emily Kuznia Australian Griffin: Part eagle... and part kangaroo instead of lion! Look close and you can see the baby Australian Griffin in her pouch. I don't know why I came up with this.

Name: Wolf Relief Date completed: 10/11/05 Medium: Clay, Acrylic Source: n/a © Emily Kuznia Wolf relief sculpture. The fur texture took daaaays... since I had to shape and attach each individual hair... I punched out the moon and stars, so if it's held up to a light it looks better.

Name: Textured Field Date completed: 10/06/05 Medium: Clay, Acrylic Source: n/a © Emily Kuznia Non-objective relief sculpture with an objective painting on it... there are nine squares of nine textures, varying from fur texture to scale texture to random pinchings and scrapings and dabbings. There you have it.

Name: Horses Blue Date completed: 08/29/05 Medium: Acrylic on canvas Source: n/a © Emily Kuznia Photo of a painting of horses. It is a rather large painting. It's monochromatic blue... the only colors I've used are blue, black, and white.

Name: Goose Face Date completed: 08/29/05 Medium: Acrylic on canvas Source: n/a © Emily Kuznia Photo of a painting of a goose, with the picture I based the painting on next to it. I was feeding geese... some of them, like this one, are nice enough... but others will hiss at you and bite your fingers...

Name: 3 Dragons Date completed: 08/12/05 Medium: Pencil Source: n/a © Emily Kuznia This is 4.75" x 8"... has a torn corner, obviously (I ripped it out of a sketchbook). Drawn in pencil. Three dragons. Hungry and salivating everywhere.

Name: Yuki Kitty Date completed: 06/04/05 Medium: CG Source: n/a © Emily Kuznia When I was visiting Shen at her house, her sweet little kitten Yuki would sometimes curl up next to me (sometimes run away from me, and sometimes claw my foot with vicious enthusiasm). I made a picture of her while she was snuggling.

Name: Bald Eagle Date completed: 04/17/05 Medium: Pencil Source: n/a © Emily Kuznia Shen and I went over to the Great Lakes Aquarium the other day. They had a big cage with a bald eagle standing around in it. I liked him, so I stole her sketchbook and drew him. He stayed nice and still and posed for me until I was done. He seemed really interested in my hat... I think they had his voice removed, because at one point he acted like he was trying to scream, but no sound came out. That made me sad.

Name: Eclipse the Wolfdog Date completed: 04/11/05 Medium: Ink, CG Source: n/a © Emily Kuznia Eclipse, he's just a wolfdog character I made up. I didn't really do much with him yet, but he's there if I ever need a wolfdog for something. Also, he's a jerk.

Name: Dire Dragon Date completed: 03/22/05 Medium: Pencil, CG Source: n/a © Emily Kuznia This here used to be the cover image for this website, called the Dire Dragon. I put a ton of iridescence on it so that its scales are shiny and rainbowy like fish scales... it took two days to draw him and two days to color him. I think nowadays I can do it a lot faster.

Name: Gallimimus Run Cycle Date completed: 02/09/05 Medium: CG Source: n/a © Emily Kuznia An animation! I animated a Gallimimus (ostrich dinosaur) running. The project took about a week... one day of sketching it out, several days of cleaning up the lines, one day of coloring it, and one day of making a background. There's a bunch of things wrong with it and a bunch of things I'd change, but... hey, it's only my second animation. Whatever.

Name: Portrait Date completed: 01/04/05 Medium: CG Source: n/a © Emily Kuznia My attempt at doing a realistic CG image by utilizing various Paint Shop Pro tools. I can point out various mistakes, but I'm overall pleased with how it turned out.

Name: Dragon Date completed: 12/21/04 Medium: CG (oekaki) Source: n/a © Emily Kuznia I finally got into the practice of trying out oekaki art. This is just my second oekaki. I like to think I'm getting better at it.

Name: Butterfly Dragon Date completed: 11/30/04 Medium: Pencil Source: n/a © Emily Kuznia I enjoy how this one turned out. I have a habit of making up different dragon designs in pencil. I wanted to make a small insect-like one and came up with this.

Name: Dragon Falcon Date completed: 08/11/04 Medium: Pencil Source: n/a © Emily Kuznia Somewhat similar to the Dragon Bird picture... because I wanted to make a new version after the Dragon Bird picture was, I believe, STOLEN *mumbles*. Anyways, I like this one because I used large paper, so the picture itself is big (12"x18").

Name: Bird, Woman, Stick Date completed: 08/09/04 Medium: Watercolor, Colored Pencil Source: n/a © Emily Kuznia I have all this nice, big watercolor paper lying around... so I figured, "might as well use it." Then I whipped this up. It only took about a week, and the size is 21"x15". I used colored pencil to add in certain details like the edges of the bricks. It was originally with a white background, but that made it boring so I put her in a cathedral.

Name: Dragons at Dusk Date completed: 03/12/04 Medium: Acrylic on canvas Source: n/a © Emily Kuznia I like this one, even though my scanner butchered it (it was too large for the scanner, so I had to scan it four times and piece the scans together). It took about 12 hours to complete, give or take. The size of the actual painting is about 17.75" x 16.5"

Name: Remy Date completed: 12/20/03 Medium: Acrylic on canvas Source: a photo of my sister's cat © Emily Kuznia Yep, my sister's kitty, named Remy. He had pretty blueish fur and huge yellow eyes. The painting is about 16.5" x 16.5" and took around 20-25 hours to complete.

Name: Dragon Bird Date completed: 11/09/03 Medium: Pencil Source: n/a © Emily Kuznia This took quite a long time to complete, since I just worked on it a little each day as something to do when class gets boring. It's a small (bird-sized) dragon in a cage, with the owner's living room in the background.

Name: Bell Grass Dragon Date completed: 10/03/03 Medium: Pencil, CG Source: n/a © Emily Kuznia A creature I made up a few years ago, called the Bell Grass Dragon. It's a dragon with green fur that resembles grass, so it has very good camouflage. However, it has trouble sneaking up on its prey, because the bell it wears tends to alert the victim.

Name: Tempest Windfur Date completed: 07/17/03 Medium: Pencil, CG Source: n/a © Emily Kuznia Just someone I made up. Her name is Tempest Windfur, she's a wolf that can turn into a human (a wolfwere). I like how this turned out, especially the way the wolf's eyes seem to glow with intensity from being such a pure green.

Name: The Serpent God Myth Date completed: 06/02/03 Medium: Acrylic on canvas Source: n/a © Emily Kuznia I sort of had Evilish in mind when I painted this. It's a mythological scene, from a myth I made up. The story is in the background on the mural, while the Gods themselves are in the front. You can see the comic I stuck it in for more details.

Name: Kinzoku Wolf Date completed: 08/17/02 Medium: CG Source: n/a © Emily Kuznia An experiment to see if I could make something look better by not using outlines. It turned out nice, but it was a lot of work. This is Kinzoku, a sort of metal wolf, which is why her eye is a plain gold. I probably should have spent more time on the tail, I don't really like how it turned out.

Name: Block Man and Block Dog Date completed: ? Medium: Acrylic on Wood Blocks Source: n/a © Emily Kuznia Just playing around with scrap wood from the woodshop room and some paint. It's... BLOCK MAN AND HIS LOYAL SIDEKICK, BLOCK DOG! Well I like it...

Name: Fish Date completed: ? Medium: Glaze Paints on Ceramic Source: n/a © Emily Kuznia One of my favorite sculptures, even though it's an old one from... uh... 2001 probably. Its body is based on a bass, but I used the markings of a brown trout. So it's a sort of bass/trout hybrid. Too bad the pectoral fin on one side got broken a little before I fired it. To hide that side, I made a blue water stand for it to be displayed on.

Name: Seagulls Date completed: ? Medium: Acrylic on Canvas Source: n/a © Emily Kuznia This painting is no bigger than a post card, which explains the lack of grace and detail. It's really old, too... I made it back in high school. It's a painting of seagulls as they devour bread in my driveway.
