Description
FURRIES lolJust kidding, they're scalies. Three sceloporus; S. consobrinus, S. undulatus and S. woodi, being all old timey. I was thinking Lackadaisy Lizards the entire time I was painting this. Which, incidentally, was 2.5 hours, because I am going crazy trying to finish all my work...
Despite deadlines, I decided to do this anyways cuz its for my (doctor!!!) friend Adam, who has a paper coming out soon
Its called "Population Sampling Impacts on Multilocus Species Tree Inference: Discordant Traces to Mitochondrial DNA Clade Boundaries in North American Fence Lizards (Sceloporus undulatus Species Group)." I read through it and understood about 50% of it, haha. Suffice to say its about sorting out different types of lizards using genetic analyses. But yeah, he's awesome and deserves dated lizards. Also I think I need more art in my gallery that isn't mature T__T Everything has had boobs in it lately.

But they're not wearing anything below the neck.
I demand a censor.

Nah, they have pretty long torsos (and you have a mind in the gutter)

You are the one drawing naked lizards.

LOL, I wish you were my friend and could illustrate my papers for free. ;D Very cool.

Looks like someone else already made the Frog and Toad comparison, which came to mind right away. But I almost laughed out loud that you do illustrations for a friend/former grad student's academic papers. I hope they have helped him get them published! I need to hire a few more people... (if I had much of a research budget that is).

Haha, well his paper is already accepted, its just undergoing the final review

Well, that would be pretty cool. I jumped to conclusions there about where the illustration would go. But the idea of it being on the cover of an academic journal is great. Now that I think about it, I do most of my journal reading from online copies and almost never see the front cover. Except for a few anthropology journals. I've never even thought of where the photographs on the front of those come from! Let me know if your illustration gets published!

Dapper, indeed.
A new pet trend on the horizon? Dogs shall no longer be the most popular pet to be dressed in outfits.
Also, Mr. S. undulatus be saying : "Excuse me, ladies. Have you seen my beach ball? It's t h i s big." Or that's what I keep hearing when I look at the gent. lol

Ahaha, I wish. My lizards want to die every time I pick them up (and my snake just wants me to die in general). They are not good candidates for fancy clothes :C

i like pipe-lizard the best!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'll be in Systematic Biology! So maybe you can :3
And thanks! I have that pipe on my desk right now, I used it for reference.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
the proper place for that pipe is in your mouth. then you will look smrt.
and you can stroke your chin in a meditative fashion!

I see... *strokes chin in meditative fashion*

I love this, but I am compelled to ask how on earth Mr. woodi keeps that monocle on.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
for a moment, i was reminded of the three blind mice. 
their expressions were amazing, and realistic in a way~ XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, thanks XD And yeah they do look like they're in cahoots, somehow...

hooooooly crap this deserves to become the new "Dogs Playing Poker", in a good way.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I say, quite right.
Now if only they could combine their props and articles of clothing into one, they would look even more dapper indeed.
I do say, brilliant picture XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That would be nice! Sadly I had to spread out the love between three types of lizard XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, I'd say you hit the nail on the head about all the props you've given them. If you combined it all into one, I think you'd have the whole package X3
...OH WAIT! No! You forgot cuff-links!
And... well, I guess pocket-watches are hard to incorporate onto a lizard seeing as they don't have pockets... XD

Between this and the little dude in The Meek recently, I am a fan of the way you draw amphibians and reptiles. They're so gosh-darn cute!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, well it helps that they are so cute irl too :3

Lol, this reminds me of the poem/nursery rhyme 'A Frog He Would A Wooing Go', nice work

Oh, man! Awesome. It reminds me of this children's book I read when I was little. It was called the Frog and the Toad... or something like that. Great work. It's fantastic.

This made me smile broadly from ear to ear... it's fantastic!

I dunno....I think I see boobs here, too. *magnifying glass* Yup, there's cleavage. beeteedubs, dapper is TOTALLY one of my favorite words.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I just had this mental image of your friend including this picture in his paper, and arguing that "S. Woodi can be recognised by their monocles".
Forget all that DNA testing stuff, go for the props!!
Distinguished looking lizard fellows- always fun to see a picture that feels like a total change of pace too.

hahaha! really cool! i love that snobish look! but why do they have hair on their cheeks?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hehe, thats not hair XD They have keeled scales, but I didn't want to draw them individually so I just outlined a few
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I love how you choose ol' chaps, because lizard's necks force them to look up and be snooty XD Perfect choice of subject for the lizards haha.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hehe, thanks XD Especially Phrynosomatids like these, they always have a "I'm better than you" look on their faces XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yay! As they should, for they are awesome.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I love it! It instantly made me think of "Frog and Toad" or whatever that book/cartoon series was called.

*Squee* Fence Lizards!
If there was a Lackadaisy Lizards comic I would read it. XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
wow...it looks like something inspired off of Lackadaisy (the comic with the cats)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I was definitely thinking about Lackadaisy when I was doing this... its hard not to XD
