Sandbar laid naked on his dorm bed. The summer afternoon breezes cause the thin white curtains to sway and ripple. It was one of those oppressively hot, late summer days, and just like clockwork the dormitory environmental control wards were on the fritz again. Thus the desperate measures to remain comfortable.
So after his swim team practice the earth pony had showered and retreated back to his room. Later tonight he had a life drawing class that he ...

Any equipment malfunction while in flight can have grave consequences. So it's important to perform a thorough inspection before one goes aloft, and sometimes it doesn't hurt to have another pair of eyes along to confirm that nothing is missed during the inspection.
Rainbow Dash appears to be performing a final check.

A patron reward. The character's name is Tchirajh and she's a cyborg. When I work on a piece like this I like to have an idea in my head what the character doing, and where exactly are they anyways?
So as I was working up this piece I had an idea pop into my head. This place is called Centaur Station. It's part of a series of space stations/habitats. All of them are named after mythical creatures with names that start with the letter C. So Centa...

Keyboard gave me a cold stare from across the table in my Equestria dreamscape. This little peace talk had been arranged by Scarlet Tips. Keyboard's marefriend and fellow member of Scratch's troupe.
It was after 10pm and we were sitting on cushions around a large, low table in one of the outlying cottages on the grounds of the Silver Mirror estate. The cottage had been converted into a small conference room. A small pitcher of iced tea along with cups...

Mayor Mare slowly strolled up the mostly empty beach and out of the late afternoon surf. The sun was dipping toward horizon turning the sea the color of liquid gold while the sky was starting to glow with pinks and orange.
At the edge of the surf the earth pony sat down and admired the spectacle as the waves gently washed and splashed on and around her. It felt good to be out of the office. She was proud to be the mayor of Ponyville and every day she tried ...

A librarian's job can often start well before library opens and run quite some time after it closes for the day. Inventory that has wandered needs to be returned to its correct place.

If this piece taught me anything it's that there's always something that you've never tackled before and there's always something new to learn how to do.

A moment from my anthro MLP dreamscape. The brown bear slowly sauntered down the forest trail bringing its rider closer to you. Coming up to stop alongside you Fluttershy looks down from the back of Harry the Bear. She smiles at you and shifts slightly on the back of the bear. Gently she digs her thigh-high, black leather into the bear's thick brown fur. After a second she speaks up.
"Um, hello. Do you need help? My name is Fluttershy. You...

Link The client liked the first design for Fluttershy as is, but wondered if we could combine elements from the other three outfits to create one for Rarity. This was the result of that discussion.
