I woke to the steady swaying of the railcar we were on in my Equestria dreamscape. For the last day this express train had been our home as we traversed our way across the kingdom. It had only stopped for fuel and water or to take on additional or let off passengers. Now the first major leg of our journey to Ft. Trotterdale was almost over.
We were scheduled to arrive in Manehattan at 11:45am. We'd be staying in the largest city in Equestria for a co...

Last night was the first actual game session for my 5th Edition Dungeons & Dragons game. As the campaign advances I'll be posting more art related to it. At first this will be of major NPCs and location.
At the very end of last night's session the party met. Dancing Leaves. She's a druid and will be an individual the party will have to deal with if they are to succeed in their mission.

Foals formed a rough circle in school playground. Nervously they stared at the lone occupant of the sandbox who returned their stares with many eyes. With hushed, trembling voices they pondered the nature of this newcomer.
From the back of the crowd a voice called out.

Now I recently posted a piece of Discord holding the leash while playing with Fluttershy, but other times it's the other way around.
Besides in my Anthro MLP dreamscape Fluttershy is not only Ponyville's Animal Control expert but she also runs an obedience and training school out at her cottage.2019-12-27 02:41:58 +0000 UTC

This is the 4th and final drawing I started during my recent Holiday Picarto stream. Since we'd met our stretch goal of raising $1,000 for Second Harvest Foodbank I had thrown the NSFW switch.
This was a request for Discord and Fluttershy having intimate playtime. This is very much like some of the things Flutters and Discord do in my Anthro MLP dreamscape. &n...

Fluttershy jogged out of the surf and up the beach. Once on dry land she took a moment to first remove her mask and snorkel followed by her swim fins. With that accomplished she reached behind and gave the zipper on the back of her wet suit a tug. Continuning up the beach she began the process of stripping the suit off her arms and torso. She'd just finished this task when she heard Pinkie Pie call her name.
"Fluttershy! We're over here!"

This is the final B/W drawing for an upcoming color commission. It will be the first in a series anthro MLP genies pieces. The first up is the lovely Rarity. I find doing these finished B/W drawing lets me work out all subtle lighting details before I start putting color down on the Bristol Board.

A recently finished commission of Lightning Dust just enjoying the thrill of flying. Creating cloudscapes can be fun but also tricky. They can be very solid in appearance but are still made up of just water vapor. They can have complex and surface texture to them but must remain as background elements. They often have subtle, nuanced colors that do not lend themselves to scanning and reproduction.
Even with my wife's excellent scanning and...

Before I begin on a color piece I will often do a relatively tight B/W drawing to work out how lighting will interact with characters or objects in the piece.
This is drawing is one of those drawings. It's for a commission and it's of Lightning Dust doing what pegasus ponies love to do. Fly. To dance amongst the clouds and upon the wind. Either alone or with other ponies. In my Equestria dreamscape it's one of the things I enjoy the most. ...

A recently finished commission for Octavia Melody. Not to surprising they asked for a color piece of Octavia dressed in an anime style French Maids outfit. She makes it work for her.
The commission was done in my usual mixture of colored pencil, marker pen, technical pen, and white gouache. The working surface is Strathmore 11" x 14" Vellum ...
