Lt. Archer study sketches

Recently I posted some development sketches of a French M1897 field gun and some Highland Cattle. Link Well this is some further development art for a commission piece. This is the client's OC Lt. Archer. It should be pretty clear that although this is suppose to be a Fallout Equestria piece it will have a strong WWI vibe to it.

When I got the description for Archer I w...

Dinner is ready!

Applejack opened the oven and peeked inside it in my Equestria dreamscape. It looked perfect...which after a moment she realized wasn't that surprising since she was making dinner in her own dream fabric for King Trafalgar Maximilian Augustus Leopold the III who should be arriving any moment.

Closing her eyes she imagined the cast iron skillet with cornbread already out of the oven and resting on a cooling rack that she just visualized in her mind. Opening her bright leaf green eyes the...

The Aftermath

Two Tone stared up at the ceiling fan slowly rotating above her in my Royal Equestria Security Forces (RESF) dreamscape. Chrysalis had dropped her off at her apartment after midnight. The changeling had hinted she'd be contacting her in the next 24 hours to take care of further business.

"We're closing in on the home stretch." The queen had said as she handed the zebra the duffel bag that contained the clothes she'd worn to the spa. "But we still have things hurdles left to clear. Also ...

She loves her new hobby

Celestia came to a final pose as the music finished. She held it for moment before slowly opening her eyes as she looked at audience her of two. Holding the pose she smile and addressed Princess Twilight and Page Turner.

"So your Highness. You had asked what myself and my sister were doing with our time since we'd abdicated. Well along with me taking up gardening Link myself an...

Dancing around the bonfire

This was final drawing that I started during my recent dance themed Picarto stream. Summertime often means trips to the beach or a lake, and in areas where it can be done safely bonfires are often a tradition.

So is dancing around the bonfire. Soon summer will be over and autumn is on the horizon, but at the moment it's still summer. So my longtime skunk muse Rosemary Parker is making the most.

Street Magic

Another of the drawings I started during my recent Picarto stream. The theme that night was dancing.

She's been taking classes

One of the drawings I started during my recent Picarto stream. The theme that night was dancing. I've been wanting to do a series of anthro MLP characters belly dancing.

Well especially after abdicating the throne Luna and Celestia will have more time on their hand to explore various hobbies. I could see the sisters taking up belly dancing as a pastime. Maybe even competing in competitions after much ...

Singapore Sling

A recently completed commission for Andre Teh. This is their pegasus OC Charlie. Now I am not a big fan of the sling bikini, but the client asked for her to be wearing one, and since she's serving Singapore Slings Link I thought it was amusing in this case.

Also I am releasing this piece today because its National Day in Singapore. 2025-08-09 17:27:25 +0000 UTC View Post

May I have a moment of your time?

Two Tone, Chrysalis/Glimmering Gems, and her security detail didn't stay much longer at the art auction after the fiasco with Golden Vision in my Royal Equestria Security Forces (RESF) dreamscape. Link

The queen put in a couple bids in for items in the silent auction, but then she conveyed to Cumulus Dancer that she was taking her leave. The pegasus stallion was obviously still...

Hail Storm Studies

This is Hail Storm and he's a character who'll be appearing in Royal Equestria Security Forces (RESF) dreamscape. He lives with Derecho Link and like her the teenage stallion is effectively an orphan of the war. So the two now live together in Ft. Trotterdale doing a mixture of legitimate, and not so legit, work to survive.

Tugrik

A couple of days ago a friend and former roommate Tugrik passed away. I lived with Tug for a couple of years in the mid 90s. In many ways Tug and his friends seemed to embody the spirit of furry fandom and seemingly boundless potential that was Silicon Valley at the time.

Tugrik was and individual of surprising complexity; although at first glance he could come across as being just a happy go-lucky goofball. He would then turn around and stop you in your tracks with a bit of very profou...

One of the drawings I started during my recent Picarto stream. Recently we loss the rocker Ozzy Osbourne who many consider to be one of the founding fathers of Heavy Metal music.

Applejack carefully scooped up a spoonful of bubbling corn chowder from the cook pot and then gently blew o...

A price must be paid

Golden Vision didn't immediately acknowledge Chrysalis/Glimmering Gems insertion into the conversation/interaction he was having with Two Tone in my Royal Equestria Security Forces (RESF) dreamscape. Link

Smash or Pass?

Carousel and Petina are surveying ponies to collect data. They're pretty sure what many ponies will say, but the want to confirm the base assumption of their thesis.

What are you going to do about it?

Edit. Some folks maybe wondering where was the purse that Two Tone is now wearing in the last posting. That's a result of the artist forgetting to draw it. Oopsie!

Two Tone gave the unicorn stallion a oh sweet Celestia really look in my Royal Equestria Security Forces (RESF) dreamscape. The zebra's street sense was going off like crazy, and they were telling her one thing. 2025-07-24 20:59:50 +0000 UTC View Post

That's a secret

Vinyl stepped through the front door of the cottage that she and Octavia called home. It was after 7 in the evening, and although Vinyl did see her partner's compact SUV in the driveway she found the cottage mostly unlit. Except for some lights coming from upstairs.

Having hung her jacket up on the coat rack the unicorn called at.

"Yo Octy babe! You home?"

From upstairs she heard the earth pony's voice call out. "Good evening dear. I'm upstairs in the ...
