Know Fear

Another scene from the anthro MLP dream/movie that Petina and I watched  one night in my sleep. This was near the climax of the big battle in  Fillydelphia. Celestia for the most part still uses much of the same  battle garb she's worn for the hundreds of years. However Luna has been  willing to embrace some newer technologies since returning from the  moon.

   In this battle Luna kept teleporting in pairs of M61  20mm Vulcan cannons. Levitating cann...

A Mare's legs

More imagery from the anthro MLP movie that I watched with Petina in a  dream a while back. A side effect of the portal and its subsidiary gates  fully opening into Equestria from the Realm of Shadows is that magic  got rather unstable for a while. Spells that normally were small and of  limited scope could suddenly surge in power and have effects far beyond  the casters intended effect. Equally big powerful spells could end up  fizzling out at inopportune moments. ...

Practice

Another moment from the antho MLP movie I saw in a dream of mine had several days ago. A couple of my watchers have asked if this the start  of new, alternate Equestria dreamscape and my answer to you is most  likely not. Although I may come back to it in the future. While the  film/dream ended with the apparent defeat of the main villain and the closure of the portal there were several unanswered questions, and  unresolved conflicts. So perhaps I my subconscious will revisit...

Dubstep and Doubletaps

From the same dreamscape dream that gave me the images of anthro Octavia and CMC as covert operatives we now get to Vinyl Scratch.

   The floor in front of Vinyl erupted with black ichor; bursting from it a Flayer threw itself at the unicorn mare. Vinyl's punched her SIG P228 at the monster as she fired  off a quick double tap. The horror screamed as the unstable mage  crystals in the 9mm projectiles detonated within it. As quickly as it  had emerged its life...

Her backup weapons are a HK P7M13, and slung on the  back of her Predator Pack is a one-handed war hammer. The pack also  provides localize ward protection against creatur...

Concept Design 1960's AEW

A commission I finished for a client recently. They wanted me to design a  transport aircraft that could configured into a variety of different  roles besides troop/cargo hauling.

    After discussions with the  client I was able to determine that they were looking for something  that would've come into existence in the late 1950's. The aircraft's  size was between the 2017-08-18 17:23:20 +0000 UTC View Post

Inky Rose Approaches

Between chores and housecleaning I got this anthro piece done this afternoon.

    I don't know if Inky Rose  would normally wear an outfit like this, but if she ever got a part in  an Avengers film I could see her wearing this. One of the advantages of  having wings is that you can forego the cape and still be able to do the  dramatic presence attac...

Okay I am confused.

Can any of my patrons see the posting I did yesterday asking about whether I should start making journal postings concerning art tips and my techniques? I know people weighed in on the subject since I've seen the replies but it is not showing on my page all of the sudden? 


Edit. Okay, Patreon is just being mind-numbing slow this morning and that post finally loaded? Not having a good technology morning.

Are you guys interesting in seeing stuff like this?

 I am throwing this out to my patrons as a question. Over on my Twitter I have established this thing I call Baron's Art Tips. When I am working on a large, finished, piece of art I will take various photos of it with my phone as I'm creating it. Along with the photos I will provide short little comments, tips, and insight into process I use to create a finished work of art.

Continuing my series of Equestria Girls sketches it's Lemon Zest from Crystal Prep Academy, which still sounds like some techno club group.

I haven't done any Equestria Girls art in a while so I decide to fix that! It's Sunset Shimmer from the end of Friendship Games. I will be selling this piece at Bronycon in a couple of weeks.

The answer is standing right in front you

 Gold Scryer trotted down the palace hallway in my Equestria dreamscape but her mind was far away in a different place. She'd just left from a meeting with both Princess Celestia and Luna where she was able to report a little progress in her investigation on the origin of the mystery wards that had been used in the break-in of Celestia's office. Whispers from the past.

Corporal Stone

His name is Stone and he's a minor reoccurring background character in my Equestria dreamscape. He has a talent for being where his combat skills are needed, and at  the Battle of Canterlot his skill will be needed more than ever! The preferred weapon of this unicorn juggernaut is three solid steel, spiked  spheres that he can levitate and wield with devastating effect.

     In spite of his heavy armored appearance he's amazingly fast for short distances. Often su...

M26 MASS Gun Pig

More imagery from the MLP/Aliens movie I saw in my sleep one night. One of the tools the Royal Space Auxiliaries had at their disposal was M26 Mobile Autonomous Support System or MASS. Although it was called the Gun Pig by the troops because of the squeaky/groaning noise it made when it moved sounded like a pig. 

     The M26 could act independently or as part of a combined arms operation. One feature of the M26 that the Auxiliaries liked was its ability to genera...

Anthro Daybreaker

One of the sketches I did during my last Picarto stream. It's an anthropomorphic version of Daybreaker from Starlight Glimmer's nightmare.

Heartbreaker

This is Heartbreaker and she'll be appearing soon in my Equestria dreamscape. At first I figured she was nothing more than a one-shot, background character that my subconscious created to fill out a setting in one of my dreams. It was only later that I found out that she was a character of greater importance. 

     She brash, aggressive, crass, and utterly disrespectable.

MLP M56 Smart Gun

More imagery from the Aliens/MLP movie I watched one night with Petina in a dream. One piece of equipment that my subconscious decided to play with a lot was the M56 Smart Gun.

      I understand why in the movie Aliens they went with steady camera mount as the main component for the system. However since it was designed to be camera mount, and not part of a integrated weapon system it left a lot to be desired. Well ponies had both magic and high technology and th...
