Friendly Werewolf Assistance

Bullard the werewolf is helping out Pedro Lopez out of a downtown San Francisco BART station shortly after the elevator broke down. He couldn't bear to see Pedro stranded at the station in his electric wheelchair in this unfair situation and offered to carry him upstairs and onto Market Street just above them. Pedro, though surprised to get such an offer by a friendly talking werewolf, felt the sincerity in his heart and accepted the offer. To the onlookers, this was the most amazing sight of their lives!

Waking Up the Ticklish Bear

Yesterday, Walter came over to Rusty's home for a sleepover and then to go to the "Paw Valley Arts and Craft Fair" the next day. Walter got up early and wanted to get Rusty up out of bed and seeing his big bear feet sticking out from under the blanket, he grabbed a feather that Rusty collected, feathers that he found in the woods nearby, and tickled Rusty with it! Rusty tries to tough it out, partly for the fun of it, but they both know that he is too ticklish to hold out for long! :D

The Bear Tickles the Raccoon

Rusty brought over a green feather that he found in the woods nearby and showed it to Walter, who said "It's nice, but what can you do with it?" Well, Rusty having been a victim to Walter's tickling for so long, grabbed his right ankle and replied "Let me show you!" Rusty kept moving the feather up and down along Walter's ticklish sole and got a lot of crazy laugher out of him!

The Evil Monster and the Werewolf

Bullard was taking his nightly stroll in San Francisco when he heard some people screaming in the distance. He looked around the corner of the block to see a thug shoot a man in front of his wife, grabbed his wallet, and ran towards his car. Before the thug could get away Bullard made it to the car and ripped off the front door. The thug screamed "Monster!" to the top of his lungs in fear as Bullard yanked him from his car easily with one hand. Bullard was angry and determined that this monster would pay for his evil deed!

Serious Werewolf Pack in San Francisco

Once a month, when the moon is full, a werewolf pack called the "Night Beast" meet at the ruins of Sweeney Observatory on Strawberry Hill in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. Helix, one of the many sons of King Lycaon, isn't too pleased by the attention he gets from his pack!

What these guys are doing:

Eric is sleeping
Bullard is talking to Fred over his phone
Chuck is eating a turkey
Fang is clipping his toenails
Brodie is going to tickle Fang's ear
Daniel is showing off his muscle to Leslie and they're in Love
Helix is thinking to himself "Why me?"

Ticklish Male Werewolf Pedicure

Wolfie Rankin happened to come to San Francisco, from Melbourne, Australia, to visit his friend Bullard. Well, Bullard noticed that Wolfie likes to keep himself nice and tidy so he took him to Sonya's Salon and set him up with a pedicure. When Sonya, who has done treatment on Bullard before and is used to werewolves, does a pedicure she is very thorough about it and after letting Wolfie soak his feet in the water for several minutes she used the foot file to remove any dead skin, but this sent Wolfie into ticklish hysterics and Bullard was there happy to help get the job done!

Spider-Man Meets a San Francisco Werewolf

Peter Parker was sent to San Francisco on a special assignment from the Daily Bugle because it's travel section writer and photographer was feeling ill. On California Street, near Battery, a crazy drunk man pulled out a knife of an innocent lady and this just happened shortly after Bullard changed into a werewolf that evening. He heard a lady screaming and saw the drunk man walk to the cornered lady. People nearby was curious to see what was happening and Bullard came growling at the man with the knife, which distracted the criminal and the lady took off running. As Bullard ran after the frightened criminal Spider-Man happened to be swinging by as he was touring the city from above. He heard all the screaming below, saw that a werewolf was after this man and instantly spun a web capturing Bullard, took him into the air with him, and decided to take him to the police. Poor Bullard, who only wanted to help take a dangerous man off of the streets found himself looking like a criminal!

Bullard's best chance is talking it out with Spider-Man while reminding him that he has been wrongly accused of being a criminal many times by the Daily Bugle. Bullard better start talking now!

Misunderstood Werewolf

Bullard just got done with a little grocery shopping and he walks downhill to his home in San Francisco and as he walks along the edge of a park he passes by a man who is afraid for his life because he never expected to see an actual werewolf! Bullard can't stand anyone to be that afraid of him because he wants to gain some level of acceptance among humans. This guy just put Bullard in a bit of a bad mood.

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!

Tickle Airlines

Walter and Rusty decided to go on vacation together and took an airline flight to Hawaii. Rusty felt a little crammed into his seat so he decided to place his right paw on the armrest in front of him and between a couple of passengers. Walter thought that this was disturbing and began to tickle Rusty's foot paw after he fell asleep. The tickling woke Rusty up and he tried to move his foot away, but it was stuck there so he burst into crazed laughter which got the attention of the passengers.

I did this for a con book submission.

The Friendly Bear Viking!

Rusty the Grizzly took his pose at displaying his might as a fierce Viking warrior, but instead of this he looks to his audience and waves! Walter can't believe how silly Rusty is sometimes! 8D

The Happy Honey Bear


A truck that has been on route to a major warehouse had suddenly got a flat tire in the middle of Paw Valley. Rusty just happened to be strolling along the area when he noticed the truck just sitting there and the drivers about to call for a service job. Rusty grabbed a case of honey that his powerful sense of smell let him know about and brought the driver along with him to sit and enjoy the sweet food of the bees! I'm sure Rusty will share with the driver after a while! 8D

Clara and the Dancing Bear

This shows Clara from the Nutcracker having a good time with the dancing bear that her Uncle Drosselmeyer gave her a teddy bear that came to life and danced for her!

Of course that's my bear Rusty playing the part of the dancing bear and I dressed him up better than how the bear is usually shown as looking a bit too much like a clown for my taste so I put him in a Russian guard uniform. 8D

Beary Christmas


This is just my wonderful sweet bear, Rusty, wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas!

I will be using this for my December icons on both Deviant Art and Facebook. I had the urge to make it soon for some reason, but I am happy how it came out. 83
