As seasons the change

The third drawing from my recent autumn themed Picarto stream. This image is actually from a dream I had recently.

In the dream I was me in my human form along with Petina who was also in her human form. For the occasion she was wearing a very cute leaf green, Tinker Bell style dress. We were walking amongst rolling hills of grass. It was late in the afternoon and the sun was setting toward the west....

Working in the orchards

The first drawing I started during my most recent Picarto stream. The theme that evening was autumn and harvest time.

This time of the year is very busy for the Apple family with harvest season. So much that Applejack routinely has dreams about it. Well this night she's having one, but this time she's having it in her Applemouse form. Also she's not alone as King Trafalgar Maximilian Augustus Leopold ...

Ward's Folding Shotgun

Some study/concept design for an upcoming commission. This is a design for folding semi-auto shotgun for a pegasus pony named Ward. Of course one has to account for how does a character with no hands manipulate various the weapon/device. Still thinking if I want to redesign the charging handle differently.

Note. I have just drawn the character without their regular outfit. The outfit includes a body scabbard to carry the shotgun and shell carriers that carry spare sho...

Harvest Moon

This was the final drawing that I started during my most recent Picarto stream. The theme that evening was autumn and harvest time. This was a request for Loona from Helluva Boss howling at the Harvest Moon.

Bringing home the day's work

One of the drawings I started during my recent Picarto stream. The theme that evening was autumn and harvest time. So here's Big Mac and a younger than Equestria dreamscape Applebloom heading back home after a day in the orchards collecting some of the years labors.

Human Luna

A Patreon reward for Arkadios. They asked me to take a stab at drawing a human Luna with a hairstyle inspired by human Loona from Helluva Boss.

After some back and forth discussion I told Arkadios that I was envisioning Luna looking something Storm from X-Men. Especially with this hair style it reminded me of Storm during her first Mohawk phase. 2025-09-13 16:42:43 +0000 UTC View Post

Harvest Time and Special Guest stream tonight

Tonight 9/13/25 starting at 5:30pm Pacific I'll be streaming on Picarto. With Autumn on the horizon we'll be celebrating the harvest season.

Also tonight we'll also have Livesuieng on as a special guest. Along with having a Twitch channel Link. He's also a brewer of beers and meads. So we'll be ...

Wrapped up in a job

The sea perch averted its attention from looking for sand fleas and other tasty things on the sea floor to look up. There was an awful lot of commotion going on above it, but it was like nothing it had heard before. It did sound threatening so the perch decided to satisfy its curiosity and swam up to explore it.

It quickly discovered the source of the commotion. 3 young mermaids were dealing with 3 particularly curious and friendly octopi. As the sea perch got closer it starte...

Change in Stream theme.

My, my I should read my own notes. Okay I am moving the Pirate-themed Picarto stream from the 13th to the 27th of September. That's because we plan to have a special guest with us on the 13th. So this week the theme will be harvest time, and pirates next stream. Sorry for the confusion.

The Sales Pitch

Remi smiled and rested her muzzle on the back of her hands as Rocket Raccoon finished his impromptu sales spiel.

"Now Remi! You've probably run into this problem yourself! You're in the middle of a firefight and the damn power cell in your blaster goes kaput! Yeah you can change it, but then you have to wait for the power cell to initialize with the damn weapon! But not the MiGAN!"

The raccoon punched a button on the weapon and the bulky power cell slid from it's recess in the sto...

Hhhheeeelllllooo!

"I am the Pretty Guardian who fights for Love and Intelligence." Sailor Mercury paused. "And I have a Court Restraining Order against you!"

This is a patron reward for kng bowser. They wanted me to draw Sailor Mercury from Sailor Moon dealing with Magica Baiser from Gushing over Magical Girls. It's apparent that Magica is setting Mercury's creepy stalker alarms.

Pirate Stream 9/13/25

Next Saturday September 19th is International Talk Like a Pirate Day. Link Unfortunately that will not be a stream weekend, so we'll be celebrating it one week early on Picarto starting at 5:30pm Pacific.

So join me for an evening of pirates, buccaneers, rogues, scalliwags, and scoundrels along with ...

Okay. I apparently need to clarify something

Okay apparently there is a misconception and I want to clarify it for folks. When I posted my journal yesterday explaining my need to suspend dreamscape posting for awhile I got several comments through various channels that went more or less like this:

Oh I assumed your dreamscape pieces were not for sale. Some of these folks had in the past looked at those pieces in portfolios of mine at cons with prices clearly marked on their pages?

Now I thought it...

I hate to write this

I hate to have write this, but for the immediate future, at least the next few of months, I will be suspending all Equestria and RESF dreamscape postings. This is for several reasons.

First. I need to get caught up on overdue Patreon reward pieces. I know many look forward to the dreamscape postings. Some of you became patrons because of it, but I have obligations to my patrons who I owe backlogged work too. This is a contractual obligation.

Second. I need to clear my commission d...

Let me show you its feature

The 2 stallions hiding behind the lorry heard the automatic weapons fire cease as they frantically reloaded their revolvers.

They were dropping the last cartridges into their cylinders when they heard hollow metallic clatter of an empty magazine hitting the asphalt. However even as they were getting ready to return fire they heard the solid cachunk of a magazine being seated followed by the klichak of a charging handle being worked. Th...

You've been planning for this

Fluttershy stared up at the ceiling of the apartment. She took a deep breath, which the 2 serpents coiled around her allowed, and then she addressed them.

"Um, Squeezie. Mr. Clench. I don't when or how you 2 got together, but uh, you've been planning for this. Haven't you?"

Squeezie gave her owner a little smile while Mr. Clench grinned down at the mare.

Fluttershy was honestly impressed. A week ago Gilda had contacted pegasus and asked the mare if she didn't mind coming ove...

Lessons in the garden

Along with ruling and guiding the kingdom of Equestria, Princess Celestia has her own academy. However her highness often doesn't get the chance to directly interact with her students.

Getting accepted to Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns is an honor for not just foal attending, but also their family. However at the same time it can also be daunting challenge for the foals. Many come from beyond the Canterlot area so they have to leave their home town, often for the...

Okay. Everybody in the pool.

Another of the drawings I started during my recent back-to-school themed Picarto stream. When my muse Rosemary Parker first appeared in my dreams back in 1992 she had just gotten out of college and had not yet launched her career as a professional swimsuit and lingerie model.

As a result she took several different odd end jobs to make ends meet. One of those was briefly taking a job as a high school P...

Lab Assignment

Another of the drawings I started during back-to-school Picarto stream. An animated series that my household has recently discovered is Owl House and we're loving it. We've gotten to the point where Luz is now a student at Hexside School of Magic and Demonics.

One of the first friends Luz made on the Boiling Isles was Willow who has a thing for plants. 2025-09-02 19:23:37 +0000 UTC View Post

The Principal's Office

It was the start of a new school year at Ponyville High School. The halls bustled with new students running to their next class, or trying to figure where that class was. The air was filled with the chatter of fillies and colts finding out what others had done over the summer vacation.

The administration office was equally busy. Even though the staff had been coming in a few days before the resumption classes there was always some unforeseen thing that needed addressing. However a...

Are you ready to go?

Chandra makes a final adjustment to her bikini and then she picked up her duffle bag. Turning around she addressed Aloria.

"Are you ready to go?"

A patron reward for James Birdsall and Chandra is their OC bunny girl.

Back to school stream tonight 8/30/25

It's the start of the Labor Day Weekend in the States. When I was a kid Labor Day also heralded the beginning of back-to-school for the fall semester. So tonight 8/30/25 starting at 5:30pm Pacific we're going to be sharpening our pencils and packing our lunches and celebrating it on Picarto.

Also there will be a post Everfree Northwest con report. See you there!

Dawnfire and Clover at the beach

Another of the commissions I started last weekend at Everfree Northwest. This is Dawnfire and Clover the deer. It was a fun study in character designs and attitudes.

After the call

Spike smiled as he talked on the phone with Scootaloo. It was a very hot summer afternoon, and through open window of his 3rd story dorm room he could hear the sounds of other students and their parents helping to unload another batch fresh of students.

Unfortunately for some reason the A/C in the dorms was not activate. Numerous phone calls, emails, and text messages later the Campus Property Management Office had sent mass email saying that they would have the issue addressed.

T...

Negotiations between both parties

A commission I delivered to Shaniko2 at Everfree Northwest last weekend. It's his OC Poppy and Daring Do. Apparently Poppy wants something for the return of Daring's hat.

This is not the first time I've drawn Poppy and Daring together. Link

Minty Mermaid

One of the commissions I did at Everfree Northwest. This was for Minty Root and their character of similar name. However this time they asked me to draw her as a mermaid which I was more than happy to do.

Off the clock

Derecho took a final bite of her vegetable and tuna wrap in my Royal Equestria Security Forces (RESF) dreamscape. The cool pocket of her portage vest had kept the sandwich sort of cool, but an afternoon and evening of flying in the muggy Ft. Trotterdale summertime air had left it the worse for wear.

However the quality of her food was more than made up by the awesome view she had. She was currently sitting on a small cumulus cloud about 2,500ft above the city. Although you couldn't see ...

Back to School Stream 8/30/25

This Saturday 8/30/25 starting at 5:30pm Pacific I'll be streaming on Picarto.

In the States this upcomimg weekend is Labor Day Weekend, and when I was growing up Labor Day represented the end of Summer Vacation. Because school started on the Tuesday after it. So this weekend we'll be knocking the cobwebs out of our brains and getting back in the classroom.

So join me f...

Happy Zappy 2000

A recently completed commission for Aether Theorem. This is their OC Gray Hat, and she's very happy about her brand new Happy Zappy 2000 shock wand. Oh! And she like's her TRON style outfit.
