Rope Tricks

"If one wishes to gain knowledge about the silk, then the lasso is an excellent teacher." 

       Some study sketches of Silk Cords who is a member of Luna's Night Court. Silk Cords is, um, well an  unusual pony, but she's very loyal to the princess and is devote  follower of the silk which she studies regularly. Along with providing  entertainment and color to the court Silk Cords is also part of Luna's security  detail. Sh...

Over the last few months I have been posting a series of images Twilight's Rage  Heat Grenade I have a shot from the anthro MLP dream/movie that Petina and I watched i...

At the LZ

 A commission that I got the sign off on late last night. The pegasus mare is Ice Shiver and the unicorn mare is Candle Flare.



     An important thing to remember when doing art is that every piece is a series of decisions and choices where certain aspects are given priority, and other elements are compromised to achieve specific goals.  While working on this commission I was confronted with several  conflicting requirements and realities. First was ...

Appleboom!

This happened last night in my Equestria dreamscape and it was a  rather amusing moment so I decided to draw it today so I didn't forget  some detail from it. Besides I figured folks would get a chuckle.

     The barrier separating the Dream Realm from the lower Dark Realms  tore open as the eldritch monstrosity threw itself into the realm of  dreams. It's great pulsating bulk hurled tentacles thousands of feet  into the early evening sky as more and...

Nightmare Moon head studies 01

Study sketches for a commission. I have only drawn Nightmare Moon  a  couple of times and since this will be a color piece I want to be  certain myself and the client are on the same page of the book. Also for  this commission Nightmare Moon will not be grumpy, angry, angsty self.  Instead she's suppose to have a more calm, relaxed demeanor to her so I  want to make sure I am on the same page of the book with client. This is  the first round of studies in that ...

Plainity

Ever since the Season 8 episode Friendship University aired I have  wanted to a drawing of an anthro Rarity in undercover guise of Plainity.  So here it is!

Twilight's Rage

Another moment from the anthro MLP dream/movie I watched with Petina in the Staging Area of my dreamscape. Some of the Mane Six served on the frontline. All Units Stand By While others worked in more covert operations Killer Butterfly. However one in particular stayed primar...

Two sides of the same coin.

This was the main piece that I worked during my last Picarto stream. It was a Patreon patron reward for RECoyote who has been one of my patron from the beginning. 

     The picture is down on a wood panel that was sealed with clear gesso. This seemed like a good idea on paper. Yes that's a pun. However my initial experience has been less than optimal. It was a tricky to get even...

Wooden MLP ATCs

These are a couple of the quick 1 hour studies I did before and during my last Picarto stream. These were done with a mixture of Unicorn Spit, technical pen, and colored pencil. 

       My next stream will be on 9/29/18 starting at 5:30pm Pacific  

Fluttershy's pistol

Yesterday I posted Killer Butterfly and since then I've gotten a couple of inquiries concerning the pistol  that Fluttershy is holding in this picture. Here are some detail  drawings of it. The pistol doesn't use any form of gunpowder to propel  its projectiles. Instead it uses compressed gas. The spherical  projectiles are very much like the paintballs used in pai...

Killer Butterfly

 Another scene moment from the anthro MLP/dream that Petina and I watched in the Staging Area of my dreamscape one night. To defeat the invaders from the Realm of Shadows most ponies did something to help drive back the enemy. This help to many forms. Sometimes it meant hunting down ponies who were willing to betray their own to the enemy.

    
  Red Tail watched the pegasus mare undress in the mirror above the bar.The unicorn poured a couple of highballs for t...

Hula Pony

The final drawing from last night's Picarto stream was a B/W request. Someone proposed Octavia as hula dancer and I had this image pop into my head. So that's what I went with. 

        I want to thank everyone who tuned in last night. We'll do it all again on 9/29/18 starting at 5:30pm Pacific. 

Art Stream 9/15/18

Today 9/15/18 starting at 5:30pm Pacific I am streaming on Picarto.  Tonight I will be experimenting more with Unicorn Spit on wood. So join  me for an evening of art, stories, and some really great folks. The  stream runs from 5:30 to 9:30pm. See you there!

Boom!

Princess Celestia smiled as she laid out the paperwork in front of her in my Equestria dreamscape. Even reading the Annual Canterlot City Public Works Audit couldn't dampen the smile on her face. Today was a beautiful day and since she had no court or formal meetings scheduled she had decided to work out in the main garden. So with that plan she'd set out on her expedition. 

        Of course one did not embark on an expedition without provisions, s...

Hello there

"Are ya looking fer somepony? Do ya need any help?" 

      An image from a recent Equestria dreamscape dream. Applebloom was part of Luna's entourage to a daytime gathering in the palace gardens. For this event Applebloom was present as Luna's Blade Mare, and it was decided that dressing her in this outfit would be appropriate for this gathering. The dress is very similar to what she wore in Stone Mane first visited her in Ponyville. However the armored rear ...

I'm not Celestia

 While Bloodfeather and Quick Silver spent some time together having lunch and shopping in my Equestria dreamscape I need to be going now. Phoenix found herself spending time together with another pony. 

  The sandbag split its contents all over the gym floor. Phoenix stared and growled in disgust at this another in a long line of inadequate opponents. Around the...

Art Stream 9/15/18

This Saturday 9/15/18 starting at 5:30pm Pacific I will be streaming once again on Picarto.  This will be the final stream of this summer. So join me for an evening  of art, stories, and some really great folks. FYI. My streams run from  5:30pm to 9:30pm Pacific. Hope to see you there!

I need to be going now.

 Bloodfeather finished preening the primary feathers in her right wing in my Equestria dreamscape. She paused to admire how her crimson feathers shimmered in the light. They glistened like beautifully lacquered wood. 

  Turning her head she looked at herself in the large mirror attached to her vanity table she was sitting in front of. Slipping a brush onto a front hoof she started to slowly run it through her brilliant yellow-orange mane. She'd almost finished when there was...

All Units Stand By

Getting some more art done from the anthro MLP dream/movie I had  awhile ago. This drawing is effectively what was happening on the other  of the communication chain from I have a shot

     "Operations to commence in 5 minutes. Understood m'am. Over" 

     Rarity listened to Coco Pommel confirm her orders then the unicorn  ...

1300

Today I got my 1300th follower on Twitter. To celebrate this milestone Petina has hired Marble Pie and Limestone Pie to help with the festivities. It sounds like a simple enough job to do.

    My Twitter is where I will often make immediate announcements about upcoming streams, breaking news related to Sm...
