Further images from the Deep Six dreams that I have observed as my character Windshear sleeps. Rainbow Dash is practically an action movie character to begin with, so of course she's a prime candidate to be a member of Deep Six. So long with the Royal Sisters Action Celestia and the others members of the Mane Six We...

More imagery from the Deep Six dreams. Along with the Mane Six. The Royal Sisters, and some OCs from the Pony RPG I'm a part of, the other immediate member of the Deep Six team is Spike.
Spike's role in Deep Six is primarily to act as Twilight's personal assistant/valet; however in combat he will often undergo a radical transformation and becomes this massive, 20ft tall, muscle-bound wrecking ball. Especially if somebody is threatening 2016-04-15 16:55:33 +0000 UTC View Post
Well, folks have enjoyed the Wet Suit Fluttershy and Action Celestia from my Deep Six dream concept so how about some Rarity.

One of the interesting things about lucid dreaming is seeing what characters in my sleep imagine when they dream. This series of Fluttershy sketches was from a dream that my main RPG pony character Windshear saw one evening while she was asleep.
There is one important thing to remember about Windshear. The sky in her world is not exactly same color as it is for every other pony. It's more saturated and vibrant. For Windshear the world is place full a...

These are some reference sketches I did for today's April 9th Picarto starting at 5:30pm PDT. Today I will be working in my traditional colored pencil technique on a Pinkie Pie piece.

Pinkie Pie as she appears in my Equestria dreamscape. This sketch is loosely based on a scene from the Season Two episode It's About Time . Pinkie is a hard working earth pony, but she also likes to sample the wares at Sugar Cube Corner. So she's got a bit more padding than say Applejack.

This is a commission I recently finished for a client. It is nice after being out of commission to be getting back into the swing of things. For this commission the client wanted their character Tracy to be sitting in a 1980's Volkswagen cabriolet.
We explored several classic car and girl pin up poses and then in process of collecting reference for the commission I came across an old promotional photo for the car that had more of a birds eye view of ...

I just realized I have not posted the heavy manipulator units from the Roan RPG to DA! Oops!
The problem with design strength amplification equipment is that you have to consider not just how much weight or force a single component can exert or support, but how much load can the overall structure take. There is limited use in having manipulator arms/legs that can lift 800lbs when the operato...

More conceptual art for the Roan RPG. I have already done drawings for light and heavy manipulators that the ponies can use in the game, but I needed to finish the drawings for the medium manipulators.
The medium manipulators proved to be something of a challenge since they have to be more substantial than the light version, but not as massive as the full body exoskeleton of the heavy unit. ...

I take great joy in creating art, but as an illustrator I find even greater pleasure in seeing my skills being applied in the fashion I went to school for. I trained to be a commercial illustrator so when I get a chance to ply my trade for commercial purposes it is an extra bonus.

Tried a little experiment today. I took my right arm out of the sling and did these sketches. Still hurts to draw.
2016-02-16 23:44:39 +0000 UTC View PostI thought I had made a posting last week on Patreon about this but apparently I didn't. Last Wednesday afternoon I fell and broke my right clavicle. Since I am right handed this has put a dent in my ability to do art. I am hopefully I will not be out for too long, but that will all depend on how quickly it heals. As soon as I am able I will fulfill my reward obligations to my $50.00 patrons.
Today I will be streaming on https://picarto.tv/baronengel starting at 5:30pm PST. Today will be more of a fireside chat in nature. So if you have questions about my art and my dreamscapes this could be a chance to get some answers. See you there!

Sorry if I've not been posting much over the last few days. I will be posting dreamscape stuff next week. However, after two back-to-back conventions, getting a nasty case of Con Crud and then accidentally giving it to my wife, I seriously needed to knuckle down and get some work in on my commission docket finished. Which I did. These are some study sketches for one of those commissions. Also I realized that I had not posted any aviation art in a while.

Hey it's an election year and everyone is conducting polls! If you follow this link I have a couple questions concerning the day and start time for my Picarto art streams. This is your chance to put in your two cents on the subject!
The Holiday season and the first of the year conventions are behind me now, so it is time to start the streams again! However this Sunday I have a very important appointment that I cannot miss. Therefore I this Saturday January 23rd I will be streaming on Picarto starting at 5:30pm PST. So join me for an evening of art, stories, and some of the friendliest folks around!
This is the piece started on my Picarto stream a few weeks back. Well now that the Holidays are over I decided to get this done and ready for the Further Confusion art show. It is my typical colored pencil, with a bit of technical pen and some gouache.
Things I learned doing this piece:
1. Celestia's mane is difficult to do.
2. Tequila Sunrises are easy to do.
3. Celestia's mane is difficult to...
