Don't become like me.

 Bloodfeather slammed the locker door shut in my Equestria dreamscape. They'd arrived back at the Capitol just a couple hours ago, and had delivered Lucky Card to the Captain of the Watch, Gleaming Shield. Their airship had not docked in Canterlot until after 10pm. So Bloodfeather and her other two team members would not get their debriefing until tomorrow morning. 

  However before she could grab a bite to eat and get some much needed sleep she had to write her post-...

Scale Bearer

 Lucky Card and two of his guard ponies turned toward the voice in my Equestria dreamscape. The unicorn mare in his detail deliberately looked the other way down the alley covering their backs. The other three ponies searched for the origin of the voice. 

  
  "Up here!" Said the voice again.

   
  Looking up Lucky saw a young pegasus mare casually standing on a fire escape platform about 20ft above them. Lucky out of the corner o...

Really!

"This is the girls uniform at Twilight's school?" 

    Smolder looked down disapprovingly at the blouse and gave it tug with her right hand.

    "This doesn't even cover my midriff! And this skirt is a joke! Really! Who designed this thing?"

     "Um, Rarity designed it."

     Looking over Smolder noticed Spike standing there. He had this odd dumbfounded look on his face. Like some ...

Chatting on their bikes.

Study drawings for an upcoming commission. This is the same commission that resulted in all the study sketches of Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy  in swimsuits. Now I an starting to integrate the different elements together for the final piece.

     The commission will be of them washing their bikes after a day of  riding. To remove the problem of getting their clothes wet they've put  on swimsuits. The bike more or less done the the two mares are now  ...

House of Roses

 Lucky Card closed his ledger for the day and secured it in a special safe built into the wall of his office. He spun the dial locking the mechanism and then activated the various wards on it. He then finished the mint julep on his desk. The unicorn checked his appearance in the full-length mirror. He looked impeccable as usual. His gleaming white coat and deep red mane and tail along with his orange eyes gave him a rather devilish appearance.  

 
  From his desk he ret...

Shall we begin?

Twilight sat on the stool in the school infirmary and slowly swung he  lower legs back and forth. She always felt uneasy being here even if it  was for a scheduled visit. Behind her the door to the head nurse office  opened. The young mare turned started to say hello Fit n' Hardy the  school nurse when the words died on her lips.

    Instead of the  usual slightly rotund earth pony who ran the infirmary Twilight Sparkle  watched as her lifelong mento...

Ghosts

 While Fantasy, Flying Gallop, and Sundown enjoyed an entertaining, if tiring, evening together. Oh, this will be interesting other ponies were planning for something much more unpleasant in my Equestria dreamscape. 

  Captain Firewing slowly closed the folder. He then gingerly set back on the low table in front of him as if it was a volatile chemical or a bomb. Hi...

Morning Lily study

This is Morning Lily and she will be appearing soon in my Equestria dreamscape. She's an individual with an interesting background.

      Before Bergmann Mp18.I there had been numerous attempts  to produce, or adapt, a portable weapon for close quarter fighting in  the bloody trenches of WWI. Most had been either modifications of existing fire...

M38 Carcano short rifle study

When I was learning how to shoot in the 1970's, if you were to study the  history books and poll the population of shooters at that time you would have came away with the conclusion that the only military bolt-action rifles worth owning or discussing in great detail were  Mausers, Enfields, and Springfields, Every other type of military  bolt-action rifle existed just to show how superior the other three were. Nothing more than exotic oddballs that shot weird ammo that you could r...

Krystal Griffin

A patron reward for a long time supporter and friend McClaw. He has a thing for griffins. So he asked if I would do my take of Krystal from the video game Starfox as a griffin. This is outfit she's wearing is adapted from the uniform she wears in Starfox Assault. 

Luna's full moon.

"By Luna's full moon!"  

    One of the drawings from last night's Picarto stream. The focus of last night's stream was on graphite pencil shading  techniques and what one can do with only a small selection of tools.  After I had finished the first segment of the evening I asked the  audience what the wanted me to draw, and several people wanted an  anthro, b...

Want an apple?

“So Sugar Cube, do you want an apple?” Summertime is coming. Really. I  know many parts of the US. are still dealing with slushy, cold weather, but the time will come when warm weather will come around. Then tank  tops and cutoffs will become part of the daily wardrobe, and nothing will be finer than snacking on cold, crispy, sweet, apple. Just ask AJ  if you don’t believe me.

Tango 01

Another Patreon reward for Skyline it is a continuation of my series of a grown up anthro Sweetie Belle dancing with his OC Amber. Last time it was swing dancing this time it's the tango. Like the yoga series and the musician series  this is a great way to improve my figure drawing sk...

500,000 Deviant Art page views!

This morning I hit another important milestone with my 500,000 page view on Deviant Art. Now in the past Petina has enlisted the services of Fluttershy to  help with these milestones, but she's decided that both her and Flutters could use a vacation. So  she's hired some other ponies to help with the festivities. This time it  is Starlight Glimmer and Trixie.

    I want to ...

Tied to the hitching post

Popsicle

Discord scowled at Fluttershy and then flopped down on one of the  poolside chaise. "That's my final word on the subject Fluttershy. I'm  not going to that insipid place!"

    Fluttershy placed her hands on her hips. "It's not insipid. It's fun! Come on you'll have fun there!"

    The draconequus crossed his arms. "No! There's no way you can make me go!!" 

     The pegasus mare frowned, then slowly a smile spread across face. She &n...
