Ah Patreon. Why do you have to go and break things?

So along with changing their logo to a kidney bean, Patreon has gone and bungled up one the tools in the text editor. When posting text you can usually take a text files that have italic or bold type in them and just drop it into the posting no problem. Or you can select a section of text and make it either italic or bold. Italic is particularly nice to denote internal thoughts and ideas of a character.

Now you can still select body text and chose to make it italic, and it will show as ...

A couple of tasty things

It didn't take long word of Applebloom and Stone Mane actions Link to get around Ponyville in my Equestria dreamscape. But for most ponies they only got second or third hand accounts. However for a select few they got direct eyewitness reports.

Rarity's horn glowed as she levitated both her pint glass and the bottle of Redmane Rich Oatmeal Stout up to eye level. Carefully she extended a f...

Seburo J9 Submachine Gun Study

This is a set of study drawings for an upcoming patron reward. The piece will have a character dressed in an Orc power armor suit from manga series Appleseed. Also in the picture will be a Seburo J9 Submachine Gun, or least the variant of it as found on Pg.11 of the Appleseed Databook. 

       It is interesting from a historical/technology standpoint to look back at various famous pop culture sci-fi properties and see how well they predict the cou...

The Postgame Show

Another of the drawings I started during my recent Picarto stream. The theme was autumn, and for many fall means the start of football season. On Sundays across the country millions gather in homes, stadiums, and bars to watch large men compete in human destruction derbies. 

    I could see Big Mac being on the varsity high school football team, and Sugar Belle being on the ch...

Burning leaves

One of the drawings I started during my recent Picarto stream. The theme was autumn and while it is in her name Autumn Blaze the kirin has discovered there some things about the season that she's not fond of. She might enjoy the colors of autumn leaves, but she really, really doesn't like raking them up. This often results in her getting very frustrated with them.

However burning them is just fine, an...

Flannel and Hot Chocolate

One of the requests that I started during my most recent Picarto stream. The theme was autumn and the request for Legoshi from the Beastars wearing flannel and drinking hot chocolate.

Be safe my little friends

Fluttershy smiled and addressed the flock of songbirds that sat in her hands and fluttered around her.

"Okay. As much I enjoy having you around. Autumn is upon us, and you must be on your way! Be safe my little friends, and I will see you all next spring."

One of the drawings I started during my recent autumn themed Picarto stream.

Antagonist

A recently finished commission. One of the most amusing things in the Netflix series Centaurworld was how Horse responded to the news that Rider had a new horse called Becky Apples. Link Of course Horse has an image in her mind of what Becky Apples must be like. However in reality Becky Apples is very different. View Post

Fabio the Unicorn body study

More work for the upcoming commission featuring Fabio the Unicorn. Now in the finished piece he'll be wearing a tutu, but for this body study I didn't want the large frill section of the outfit obscure the waist area of the torso. So instead I drew him in the classic tights that male ballet performers often wear.

Dancing Cedric

This is the final drawing I started during my most recent Picarto stream. The theme that evening was dancing, and this was a request to have my 5E D&D warlock/ranger Cedric Blackprongs dancing on a table. I decided that his flame serpent familiar Eli'ko wanted to join the festivities.

Hello and welcome!

The stallion heard the sound hooves moving across the grass toward him along with the jingling of metal baubles. Looking up from the box he was lifting out of the moving he spied the earth pony mare approaching him. She smiled at him.

"Hello and welcome!" She giggled. "I know this is usually Pinkie Pie's job, but since we're going to be neighbors I decided to come over and say hi! My name is Carousel. At the moment my partners Petina and Sky Brush are out but when they get back they'll ...

Green Anaconda studies

These are some study drawings I did today for an upcoming piece/patron reward. It's going to have an anaconda naga in it, and since I've never drawn an anaconda before I figured it was prudent to do some study drawings of it in its natural state first. Before I tried to make an anthro version of it. So that's what I did this afternoon.

Laying your hand out on the table

Yesterday I go my Covid booster and today I am feeling super stiff with zero energy. Both physical and mental energy. So I've decided not to finishing up the remain pieces from my recent Picarto stream. The remaining pieces need more brain cells than I have at the moment.

    So today I decided to finish up a piece I had sketched out a while ago, but it needed clean up and shading....

Fancy Free

One of the drawings I started during my recent Picarto stream. The theme that evening was dancing.  Rosemary Parker is primarily a professional swimsuit and lingerie model these days. However many of her first working gigs out of college was as a dancer in various music videos, ads, and TV shows.

Oh no you don't!

Another of the drawings I started during my dance themed Picarto stream.  I don't the name of the step, but in tango dancing there's a step/ maneuver that female dancer does where she lifts one of her legs, I believe it's the right, and places it on the chest of her partner. Then she playfully pushes them away.

Pony ballerina study sketches

Development art for an upcoming commission. One thing about working with fictional/fantastical creatures and beings is occasionally stumbled upon questions in your mind. Those "Hey if they do this what happens?" moments.
