Rusty's Wild Ride

Santa wasn't feeling good so he went looking for someone who could take his place on Christmas Eve and went to Paw Valley and recruited Rusty to deliver his gifts to the world's children. Then Rusty recruited his best friend, Walter, and Razortooth to help him with the incredible task that lies ahead of him. After Rusty left the ground, despite having the strength of a huge grizzly bear, he found out how tough it was to drive a sleigh being pulled by magic reindeer moving at the speed of light!

The Ghost and the Seance Skeptic

Strange things happen in Paw Valley every year around Halloween. Fences get heavy scratch and tooth marks, trash cans get turned over, food others get eaten when no one is looking, and many other strange occurrences happen through the nights of late October. There's a story that has been going around for decades blaming the angry ghost of Zackariah Wolfbite. He was falsely blamed for all problems in Paw Valley and passed away 113 years ago. It is believed that his spirit haunts the town and is getting back at the it for blaming everything on him, he just wants to live up to what they thought of him when he was alive.

One Halloween Night, Walter gathered together his friends Rusty, Ringo, Lester, and Razortooth to hold a séance in his home and try to calm Zackariah, bringing him peace and giving him an apology so that he would give up his mischievous behavior after death and leave Paw Valley in peace. However, Razortooth has been skeptical the whole time and blurts out what he thinks of the ghost!

Paw Valley Marching Band

This is Walter, Lester, Razortooth, and Rusty all marching the parade celebrating Paw Valley's 175 Birthday Extravaganza! Paw Valley was founded in 1842 by a family of grizzly bears, with whom Rusty is a direct descendant of. Eventually, a whole lot of animals of different species moved in making Paw Valley the multicultural town it is now!

The idea for this drawing was brought up to me by Blue Mario who wanted to see my characters marching in a marching band wearing nice uniforms!

Dining in the Land of the Sweets

Clara is having a good time dining with the Nutcracker Prince sitting next to her and his Royal Guards at the ends of the table in the fabled Land of the Sweets. Razortooth is having quite a discussion with the prince and Clara while Rusty starts eating away at that cake.

They are eating on a table made of Peppermint Bark with candy cane legs. The chairs are made of blueberry candy sticks, the snow is powder sugar, the clouds are made of cotton candy, there are lollypops for trees, a hot fudge sundae for a mountain and scattered jellybeans and other candy lying about like rocks and they're all eating a bunch of sugary sweets and having a good time together! 8D

This picture was inspired by the Nutcracker!

Ticklish Alligator Pirate Punishment

Since the Tickle Beaver Pirates caught Razortooth the Terrible trying to steal their treasure chest of gold and diamonds, they punished him with tickle torture for fun! They tied his hands and feet to parts of the ship and went wild listening to him roar in laughter while wiggling and squirming about like a fish out of water! 

Of course they eventually let him go free, but not until they are sure he learned his lesson! 8D

Tickle Beaver Pirates and the Unfortunate Gator!

Razortooth the Pirate knew about some gold and diamonds that the Tickle Beavers had on their ship. He knew the beavers always took an afternoon nap and thought that he could sneak on aboard their ship. What he didn't realize that one beaver noticed the nearby ship, he couldn't nap, and told the rest of the beavers that an intruder just climbed onto their ship! They were ready for anyone, they practiced how they would take down intruders and they were great with ropes and lassos! Razortooth managed to get the chest of gold and diamonds, but the beavers quickly pulled his hand off of the chest and captured him! Now the beaver pirates will get ready to give him his ticklish punishment! 8D

Relaxing by the Palace

While visiting San Francisco again, Rusty and Razortooth decide that the lake by the Palace of Fine Arts is a nice place to take a dip and float around in the water. Them being two animals, a grizzly bear and an alligator, rarely seen outside of their natural environment, or a zoo, they get a lot of attention from those visiting this beautiful park! 8D

The Palace of Fine Arts was built in 1915 for the Panama Pacific World Exposition to celebrate the building of the Panama Canal, which is thousands of miles away, but San Francisco used it to show the world that the city was fully rebuilt and nicely put back together after the great Earthquake of 1906.

Gator Turtle Swamp Party!

This Land is Your Land

After I made my 4th of July drawing, only a little more than a month and a half from this post, I recorded many patriotic songs on to my phone from Rhapsody and my favorite was "This Land is Your Land" by Woody Guthrie. 

I just love the song because it describes America in a beautiful way, it includes redwood forest, diamond deserts, fog lifting, and it is just so fun and inclusive. It's what America is supposed to be!

So in honor of this song, I decided to make a drawing about and how my bear, Rusty, is describing all of this to his friends. It's just a cute symbolic picture that describes some of the best physical elements of America.

It goes like this:

This land is your land, This land is my land,
From California to the New York island;
From the red wood forest to the Gulf Stream waters;
This land was made for you and Me.

As I went a-walking that ribbon of highway
I saw above me that endless skyway
I saw below me that golden valley
This land was made for you and me.

I roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts;
All around me a voice was a-sounding;
This land was made for you and me.

Ticklish Dingo Buried at the Beach

After a day surfing at the beach Ringo's Uncle Fang asked his girlfriend, Elizabeth, and best friend, Razortooth, who came along with him, to bury him in sand. Fang only asked that they bury him as deep as they like and to leave his head and feet out. They did have a lot of fun burying him in the sand and Razortooth even added a nice sand castle on top for decoration. Uncle Fang began wiggling his feet around and whistling in the air. When Elizabeth notice this she began tickling his feet sending Uncle Fang into hysterics as he laughed like he hadn't so much since he was a pup, though he kind of expected this, though it drove him crazy with laughter and plenty of squirming, he had no idea that Razortooth was planning on dropping an earthworm in his ear! 8D

Yuck Face Gator

Elizabeth Forest invited both her boyfriend, Uncle Fang, and Razortooth, despite Uncle Fang's doubts, to have dinner with her. Razortooth was looking forward to something nice and meaty, but when he found out that she was serving tofu veggie loaf with brussel sprouts and mashed potatoes he said, "Ewww! Yuck!" and just showed her what he thought of the meal! Razortooth really needs to learn some manners!

It's in the Disney Contract Rocket Raccoon!

Now that Marvel Comics, and a great deal of their movie rights, are owned by the Walt Disney Company, The Guardians of the Galaxy film is being made there! Well, Rocket Raccoon needed a few more bucks to buy his newest Hyper Drive Laser Blast Gun so he agreed to make an appearance in Snow White 1 1/2, but he had to sign a special separate contract to appear in that film, he probably didn't pay attention to all the terms before signing and he just needs a little encouragement to get into the act by that cute little squirrel to the right! 8D

This artwork was mostly inspired by Walt Disney's Snow White and Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, which is being directed by James Gunn! Also, I've created non anthro versions of my characters Rusty, Walter, Lester, and Razortooth! 8D

Good King Grizzly Bear Wenceslas

This drawing I made is based on one of my favorite Christmas Carols, Good King Wenceslas! The song is a story of a king from the Middle Ages that felt bad for a peasant that he spotted out his window. Wenceslas decided that the peasant could use some good cheer so he got his page to gather food, wine, and pine longs for the poor man. Wenceslas and his page journeyed through the cold windy night to the peasant's home, but the page couldn't long endure the cold weather so, he told the page that he would warm up if he put his feet in his footsteps. By miracle, the page, along with the king was able to make it to the peasant's home and bring him these gifts. I love the story because it tells that it is better to give to the less fortunate and help your fellow man than to be full of greed. You can hear the song here : Good King Wenceslas  Merry Christmas!

Thanksgiving Turkey Dance

Todd the Turkey was chosen by Uncle Fang for Thanksgiving Dinner, but it turns out that Todd happens to be a talented dancer and singer too! Todd is pretty smart and may have his own plan up his feathers! 8D
