Whimsical critters for An Alphabet of Embers

Shortly before we hit goal, I promised to draw cheerful critters for the next 5 backers of An Alphabet of Embers. I have recently discovered the program Artrage, which is a natural media simulator for Tablet computers. I can no longer use natural media due to disability, but e-drawing with Artrage is proving to be relatively pain-free.

I got so excited about these drawings that I made more than 5. Here they are, for your enjoyment. Bidders are listed by their twitter handles or initials for the sake of privacy - if you’d like to be listed by name, ping me and I will be happy to do so :)

For @rhiannonrevolts,  who asked for a bird of prey:

 

A happy osprey carrying a fish

 

For Saira Ali, who is a backer and *also* is planning to offer broadsides for AoE as stretch rewards:

 

Calming polka-dot manatee

 

For PA, who requested a kitty:

 

For @scturbull, who got us over the funding threshold:

 

For Sonya Taaffe, a pair of Russian river fish (prompt was oceanic invertebrates; don’t ask).

For MTP, an aardvark with a social message:

 

for @coraa, a badger:

For @mangoheroics, who requested a dragon or perhaps an owl:

And finally, for isanah:
