I like how you can't really see him; makes him all the more horrifying.

cool. wouldn't've bothered to make a pic for him myself. his appearance is already available in general media, completely accurate. but eh...

True, but a) I need the practice in drawing dragons (XP). and b) not only was I bored, it was a challenge (that almost drove me mad. XD).

Boredom at 12am results in me considering what I want to look like in, say, 10 years. XD
Yeah. I'm that sad. *shot*
I like what I came up with here though. The hair color is something I've considered before now. And I do want my eyebrow and lip pierced (as well as my tongue and navel. XP)
Probably a lot of anatomy flaws, but eh...as I said, it was late when I drew this.

SPOILERS FOR WARRIORS: POWER OF THREE: LONG SHADOWS.
HEY IT'S THAT ONE SCENE FROM THAT ONE BOOK EVERYBODY'S DRAWING.
I got sucked into it out of boredom. XD
This is the scene in Long shadows where Ashfur's threatening to kill Hollyleaf, Jayfeather, and Lionblaze, in an attempt to hurt Squirrelflight for leaving him.
And Squirrelflight reveals that - surprise! - they aren't her kids.
I gotta say, I love, love, LOVE how Ashfur turned out. His expression is perfect. The fire came out okay. The log is eh. The cats in the background can burn in hell. >_<

Both are ok, HF. I find the second one better, though, due to finding some flaws in this first one.
1st: Why is log not on fire? I mean, wood catches that crap EASILY... well, unless it's wet of course.
2nd: The fluffy tail has HAXED!
3rd: Uh... I dunno? Wait a minute... left ear seems a bit... double-pointed without a single opening.

1) It was raining in the scene. Lightning started a forest fire. And the log is too thick to catch easily.
2) Looks a little strange, true, but can't change it now. It's all been inked.
3) It's a torn ear, and I didn't draw the insides of the ear because his ears are flattened.

1: Obviously... 
2: Oh well, it's still looks pretty good.
3: Oh... still seems a bit strange though.

the ears look odd because they're just SLIGHTLY too wide. considering they're swept back, they'd look a bit narrower.
the tail looks off because the curve isn't sharp enough. and rather than curling in a circle, it should be curling in a semi-circle. pointing to the right then arcing sharply and going left. to give that impression that you're looking at it from an angle. to the cat's skeleton, it'd be a smooth, even curve curling clockwise. . try it with the top of a glass. from above, circular. when you tilt the glass so you're looking at it almost from the side, you'll find the brim looks like it's curving sharply on the left and right. same effect.
you did a good job of capturing the cat's anger in the expression.
my advice: learn to be good at erasing, and don't ink till you know it's perfect. for the first point, i see a lot of half-erased spots around the fire. the latter, because, as you said, even if we point out flaws, you can't change them now. they're already inked.
as for the pic before, my main problem is with the rips on the pants. a bit too symmetrical IMO. as for the 294716 piercings, i won't comment. my personal opinion is that more piercings mean more potential advantages to anyone you happen to fight with. more things to grab and yank and rip out
the arm looks funny though. right arm. around the elbow. seems a bit wide, don't you think? an arm around half the width of your entire torso is usually a bad thing
aside from that, there's the usual problem of the telescopic neck. but i'm sure you're already aware of that...

Yeah, I see what you mean about the erasing. I'm used to drawing ears like that; they always look too small to me if I try to make them narrower. As for the tail, also habit. Gotta try and break that.
Have you ever seen pre-ripped pants? They've got rips in them that shouldn't be possible unless you take a razorblade to your clothing. XP
Kinda hard to yank out an eyebrow stud. Same for a lip ring, unless you're stupid enough to attach chains to your piercings and link them all together. Then, I agree, it's all too easy to rip them out.
Hey, gimme a break with anatomy. XP I've said it before and I say it again; I fail miserably at human anatomy. XD

A tattoo design I worked on for the better part of today.
I want this design on my left forearm. (The right has a big scar on it now.) To stand as a reminder of past mistakes, and remind me never to make those mistakes again.
The phrase "a novus orsa" is Latin. Roughly translated it means "a new beginning". (Literal translation: "a novel beginning.")
Personally, I prefer the one on the left. But which do you like better?
I spent three hours yesterday getting the lineart for this right. (I have KP to thank for critiquing as I went along.)
I'm happy with this drawing. Really. I am.
Even though the shading is kinda whack, the reaction of the person I did this in part for (this is kinda an early V-day drawing/7-month mark acknowledgement for my bf) made the effort and pain in my drawing arm worth it.
