Bad Memories

Two Tone wasn't oblivious to the concept of going to a salon in my Royal Equestria Security Forces (RESF) dreamscape. She went to one at least twice a year to get her coat thinned along with getting her mane and tail trimmed.

However the Shining Pool Spa and Salon was a whole another experience. The zebra never asked what the bill was for the visit, but she was willing to bet it was more than what she spent a month on her apartment rent. The whole thing had the air of a carefully choreo...

Um....Oops!

Another drawing I started during my 2025 MerMay themed Picarto stream.

A useful tidbit of information. If you're in a world with magic, and you're swimming, and you discover a large sea shell with cryptic glyphs covering it. Take a moment and think really hard before picking it up. Sunburst wishes he had.

Go with the flow

Another of the drawings I started during my 2025 MerMay themed Picarto stream. Once again my muse Rosemary Parker returned in mermaid form for the evening festivities. This is the third time I've done her as a mermaid. Link, Link

Catching some rays

Another of the drawings I started during 2025 MerMay themed Picarto stream. Lyra and Bon-Bon take a moment to swim with a Manta Ray.

Decades ago I considered becoming a wildlife artist. Apparently those years of study didn't go to waste.

Seaside Service

The first drawing I started during my recent MerMay themed Picarto stream. I like the fan idea of Tempest Shadow/Fizzlepop Berrytwist starting an ice cream business once she turns her life around. Link

Well you can't make ice cream underwater so Fizzlepop makes it a habit to serve the merpony community with these trea...

He buys them by dozen

"It's cheaper that way."

This is one of the commission I took at the last Babscon. The character's name is Pixel and lets just say they're passionate and emotional invested in the video games they play. Maybe a bit too much, but he's definitely keeping the aftermarket game controller industry busy.

Do you want to order something?

Miss Cheerilee stepped up to the beachside bar. Removing her straw hat she set it on the bar and leaned over the bar and raised her hand to get the bartender's attention. Having succeeded in this task she called out.

"Can I please get a Celestia's Indiscretion."

The bartender nodded his head and started assembling the drink. It was at this moment that the mare noticed the pony standing behind her. She looked back at them.

Get up!

Remi slowly awoke to several things. First she was very warm, bordering on uncomfortably hot. Second she needed to use the bathroom. Third she was finding it hard to breathe because of weight pressing down on her chest.

Open her eyes she found herself lying on her back with Valden draped face down across her chest. Remi gave the nimbat a shake to wake her only to succeeding in eliciting groan from the nimbat. Unsuccessful in her first attempt the fox started tapping the back of the Val'...

Rinsing off

Having finished helping Granny Smith with the morning dishes Stone Mane stepped out on the front porch of Sweet Apple Acres in my Equestria dreamscape.

Applejack had corralled her little sister to help her bring down some lightweight cotton summer bedding from the attic so they could be cleaned up. Next week there was several days of really hot weather scheduled. So with extensive mosquito netting already installed on the Farmer's Porch everypony was going to be sleeping on cots ou...

Let me help

When asked later Princess Luna would say that the breakfast she had that morning at Sweet Apple Acres in my Equestria dreamscape was one of the best she'd ever had. Link

2 baked pancakes, 6 fried eggs, a heaping pile of cottage fried potatoes, 2 glasses of apple juice and 4 cups of coffee later that the Princess of the Moon pushed her plate away and declared herself truly full.

Leia

Another of the drawings I started during my recent May the 4th themed Picarto stream. As I have said in the past I don't consider myself much of a portrait artrist, but I'd like to get better at it. Well the only way you can get better is by doing. Link

So as I did during my last stream I started this portrait of Princess Leia and got most of it done during the hour time slo...

New Ride

Another of drawings I started during my May the 4th inspired Picarto stream. Link

Since he was in a hurry to get off Tatooine and they made him a decent offer, the CMC ended up acquiring Luke's old X-34 Landspeeder Link for a bargain. Now the 3 foals are having a blast....well at Applebloom and Scootaloo are having a blast. Sweet...

Um. Forward!

Tatooine's dual suns were slowly drifting toward the Western horizon when Fluttershy came diving down out of the sweltering desert sky and toward the group of waiting Tusken raiders and their banthas. In particular the chiffon yellow pegasus made for a particular bantha.

Since leaving Jabba's enclave Fluttershy Link had been traveling across the vast, formidable dunes and hills of this desert w...

Well what do you know!

The heavy blaster-proof door groaned in protest as its mechanism slid it open. Backlit by the corridor lighting was the silhouette of a small robed, hooded figure. The figure reached over and tapped a panel on the interior wall of the room. After second or so a series of overhead lights flickered into existence.

The room was mostly empty except for three items. The first was large lounge chair clad in a leather of unknown origin. The second was small glass and polished metal end table t...

This Sunday is May the 4th. So this Saturday 5/3/25 starting at 5:30pm Pacific I'll be doing my annual Star Wars themed Picarto stream.

The Final Boss

Gilda rest her bill on one of Mr. Clench's coils as she quickly ducked behind the wall and started flicking through her inventory. Another of the serpent's coils provided a rest for her forearms as the griffon worked the game controller.

It was after 2am and it was another hot summer night in Griffonstone. The A/C in Gilda's apartment was on the fritz. Again. She'd stripped down to her panties and had planned to head off to bed around midnight, but the bedroom had been a sauna. So she'd...

A recently completed commission for SHM128III's. This is their OC Dominique who a while ago I posted some development art for Link. She runs a beauty salon but she has something of a dom streak in her.

A commission for Andre Teh. This is their OC Cili Pad whose a Mouse Dear and is member of Singapore Police Department in the 1950s. She's a very driven individual with some fine parkour skills.

And for those who are wondering, the Female Police uniforms have very short skirts for the time, and had the front slit so apparently the could perform martial arts without being restrained by their uniform. A while ago I did some preliminary studies drawings in preparation for this fini...

"So do you? "

A patron reward for Octavia Melody. I was hoping to have it done before Easter, but prep for the last BABSCon was extensive this year. I've done all of the Mane Six in the bunny suits and Octavia asked me if I wanted to put Zipp Storm in one. Well Zipp is my favorite Gen 5 character so it didn't take much convincing.
