Another of the drawings from my last Picarto stream. This is Sweet Justice and she's a superhero that the audience created during the stream. Confectioner by day, crimefighter by night. And her special power was the ability to create and shoot taffy and caramel from her hands.

The third drawing from my last Picarto stream. The theme that evening was a tribute to late Stan Lee and super heroes, and villains.
One of the things Caerdwyn and I was doing that night was polling the audience and creating characters. In this case the call went out f...

"Okay folks! I want everyone to check in! We're going live in 5 minutes people!"
The final drawing from my last Picarto stream. This is a thank you piece for Larcis who has pledged more than $100. Larcis is a professional sound engineer and him and his goldfish know all the ways a production can go wrong.
This is the drawing I did during the first hour of last night's tribute Picarto stream honoring the late Stan Lee.
Now as I stated during the stream I consider my portrait drawing skills to be the weakest of my skill sets. It is one thing to be able to draw an accurate, generic figure. It's another thing to be able to accurately capture the numerous, tiny, phys...

Messing around today in Clip Studio. Still trying to decide what is the tool set that gives me the look I want. Anyways this is a relatively quick digital color sketch I did of old Sky Brush after having a bit too holiday food and drink. It is also the art I used for my most recent journal posting.

I haven't done any Equestria Girls art in a while, so yesterday I did a drawing of Fluttershy in her wetsuit from Forgotten Friendship.
This Saturday 11/24/18 starting at 5:30pm Pacific I will be streaming on Picarto. Hope to see you there!
Very often when I start a day in the studio I will do a warmup sketch or drawing just to get the creative juices flowing and loosen up the drawing hand. Normally they are very rough, scratchy, unfinished pieces. However once in a while I end up with a more finished piece like this. So on a random piece of scrap paper I did this piece this morning. It's a design idea for anthro pegasus statue. I might do something with it more final in the future, or I might not.
Just so folks kno...

Gallus laid on his bed and glared up at the nothingness of his dorm room ceiling. The room was quiet except for a steady series of chugging and thumping sounds that seeped through the door and in to his room. Their origin was the washing machine down the hall that served his and the other dorm rooms in the immediate vicinity.
He'd know that he was going to regret for putting off doing the laundry until the last moment, but he had. Upon ret...

Another drawing I started during my last Picarto stream. This one was a request for Rainbow Dash spending some time with Tank. After all she wants him to be just as awesome as she is.
I will be streaming again this Saturday 11/24/18 starting at 5:30pm Pacific. Hope you can make it!

Sandbar pulled on his blue jeans and then looped and secured his belt. Taking a moment he ran a curry brush over his chest and arms one more time. Tonight he was going to acting as tour guide for his friends. They'd all been so busy with classes they'd had almost no time to go into town and see the sites, and since Sandbar from Ponyville he'd volunteered to be guide tonight.
Giving his chest one last brushing he stopped and looked at himse...

The young stallion started searching for the source of the sound. Looking back down the hallway he saw his classmate and friend Silverstream running toward him.
Catching up to the earth pony the hippogriff came to a stop. Well eventually all of her did. For some reason the recent physics lecture that Schoolmistress Twilight had given about Neightonian Physics and objects in mo...

Last Thing lay on hotel the bed and brushed her tail while she read her briefing again in my Equestria dreamscape. Scattered on the bed with her was various pieces of equipment she had assembled, or was in the process of assembling. The only other pony in the room was Captain Firewing who was almost done with placing the final blasting cap on a bundle of dynamite. Satisfied with it he came over and set it next to the other bundle.
"Here you go. Do you need another one?"&...
As Phoenix and Quick Silver were finishing up their breakfast in my Equestria dreamscape Want to get some breakfast? another pony was finishing up business on their end.

Gallus unlocked the door and stepped into the darkness of his unlit dorm room. Fumbling for the wall switch he turned on the light above the door. Setting the messenger bag holding his text books on the floor, the griffin proceeded to remove his jacket and hang it on a wall hook. With these immediate tasks accomplished he turned around and promptly stopped in his tracks.
Smolder was lying on his bed.

Although Half-cock had said they'd bring any corpses back in a cart, it was decided instead to bury the dead at the site of the battle in my Equestria dreamscape. Of course the remainder of Tombstone's gang were put to work doing this and in couple of hours the bodies had been put to rest in the ground and marked. In the future the bodies might exhumed and reburied, but for the moment at least the local wildlife wouldn't be disturbing them.
By this time the...
One of the best new characters of Season 8 is the kirin Autumn Blaze. Here are some study sketches I did of her today.
Edit. Yeah forgot to shade her facial scales on the bottom right sketch.

I was positive I had posted this already. Whoops! This is another patron reward this time for Corwyn Talia. The kitsune admiring her aquarium is Gina and the occupant of the aquarium is Talia. FYI. Don't worry due some handy spells Talia is in no danger of drowing.

A patron reward for McClaw. The character's name is Holly who belongs to Mapper who agreed to letting me do the piece.
I am not very familiar with the character but based on the reference provided the character is a skunk/bat vampire who works as a ninja assassin. Based on this information I decide to go with a sword wielding Black Widow character.

Tombstone stared at the unicorn mare who'd appeared out of the dust cloud in my Equestria dreamscape. Bad taste in the air The newcomer was motionless accept for the constant rolling of a lollipop from side-to-side in her mouth. Her eyes were hidden by the brim of her broad hat of dark rust red felt. A mantle of similar color covered most of her sand colored body. Boots of brown...
