This is a piece I did for an upcoming Brony Thank You Fund MLP calendar which will have a Super Hero theme. I wanted to do something out of the ordinary and character who I haven't drawn much. So I asked if I could do Lyra as Dr. Strange.
The design of piece is something of a fusion between the original Doctor who appeared in Marvel comics and t...

I realized today that I haven't drawn any Equestria Girls art in a while. So before calling it a night I cranked out this sketch of Sunset Shimmer as a surfer girl.

This Saturday 3/3/18 starting at 5:30pm Pacific I am very proud to have Jaya King once again on my Picarto stream. She will be once again demonstrating her awesome encaustic wax painting technique.

However I have been going through my patron numbers and many of you have pledged consistently for years in some cases. So this is what I am going to do to reward your loyalty.

One of the pieces from last night's Picarto stream. It's also a Patreon reward for one of my patrons who asked me to an anthro version of Pinkie Pie being Tracer from the MMO Overwatch.
Now I don't play Overwatch, but when I think of the character Tracer and MLP I think Rainbow Dash. However in Season 1 they made it clear that Pinkie was able to keep up with and get...

Grubber adjusted his tabard and looked at himself in the mirror. It was a simple white garment with the words ex-minion printed diagonally across it in bright blue letters.
Perfect! He thought. This should make it clear to everypony at the party that I've turned over a new leaf!
Satisfied with his outfit he stepped out of his bedroom. "Okay Tem....I mean Fizzle Pop. I'm ready to.....

While Marble Vein and Brilliant Flower enjoyed each others company, We're going to do something amazing another less enjoyable meeting was happening in my Equestria dreamscape.
Drone 765 landed and then started trotting down the dark, empty, Canterlot alleyway. His destination was the back door of a supposedly abandoned sto...

While Heartbreaker ran her errand in my Equestria dreamscape, Lunch Break another pony was springing a surprise for somepony.
Marble Vein carefully steered Brilliant Flower toward their destination. The earth pony had a blindfold and silly grin on her face. "Are we there yet?" She asked for the second time.
"Just a bit further dea...
The day was winding and Fluttershy was enjoying the book that Twilight had recently given her. Dinner was cooking in the oven and the animals had been fed. It was early spring so their was a slight chill in the evening air. It was the kind of night that made long sleeve shirts and warm, fuzzy sweater desirable.
Although Fluttershy did wonder about the wisdom behind the keyhole sweater that Rarity had given her recently. Why put a hole ...

It was near evening and at the edge of the Everfree Forest the shadows were already deep. Under gnarled, ancient oak two individuals were having a discussion.
Queen Chrysalis listened to the white rabbit that rested in her left hand. Angel Bunny waved his front legs and made a series of squeaking sounds.
"Yes my minion. You were correct that Shining Armor would find me irresistible in this outfit. He has ...

While Stone Mane continued on his journey another pony was taking care of business and getting a bite to eat in my Equestria dreamscape.
The mare behind the counter called the next order. "Okay! I've got a Trotter's Special with extra grilled onions ready for number 38! Number 38 your order is ready!"
Heartbreaker muscled her way through to the counter. "Pardon me! Out of my way! Move it governor!" Finally she reached the counter and retriev...
Applejack looked down at her little sister in my Equestria dreamscape. "Are ya okay Sugar Cube? Ya look a bit stunned there." See you in my dreams!
Applebloom nodded her head. "I'm okay sis. I, wasn't expecting that, but it was very nice thing fer him ta do."
AJ grinned at the filly. "So ya like that Stone Mane do ya?"
"Yea...
Miss Cheerilee wandered over to the Apple Family Stand where Big Mac was minding it.
"Hi there Big Mac! Just wanted to let you know that I've been put in charge of the local Filly Scouts. Troop 69. I just got the position last week. Anyways would you be interested in buying some Filly Scout cookies? We've got Thin Mints, Peaches & Cream wafers, and Cherry Surprises. Um, uh, Big Mac we're selling cookies not cough drops.
This is the colored pencil/mixed media piece I worked on during my last Picarto stream. Also in the future this artwork will used to announce upcoming streams. Sky Brush is hard at work at the table.
This is how the promotional poster for Flying Fingers second album ended up looking like. The release of their second album Let it all hang out! happened to fall on Applebloom's 21st birthday which was something Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle arranged to happen. They had a heck of a party that night.
Edit: If you are curious Flying Fingers sounds like, this is a good match YouTube 2018-02-08 22:17:30 +0000 UTC View Post
Promotional image for Flying Fingers second album Let it all hang out! The band is composed of grown up members of the original CMC. Applebloom is the drummer for the group.

Bands often have different outfits for various venues, albums, or specific songs. This is one Sweetie Belle's outfits when she performs as the lead singer and bassist for the Flying Fingers which is composed of grown-up members of the original CMC.

Stone Mane's panniers chafed him as he stood along with the Apple Family on the platform of the Ponyville Train Station in my Equestria dreamscape. The morning had been a flurry of activity as the colt and the Apple Family had scrambled to take care of the morning chores and get their guest to the train station to so he could catch the morning train out of town.
Stone Mane had scheduled for this trip to be just a one day visit, but now he was regretting that decision. T...

The trip back to Sweet Apple Acres was a quiet affair in my Equestria dreamscape. What if Just the sound of hooves on the road. The creaking and rattling of the cart as Big Mac pulled it along, and the numerous small sounds of nighttime creatures.
Stone Mane awoke in the back of the cart. Bleary eyed he looked around. In the front of the cart was Granny Smi...
Stone Mane was uncertain what to do in my Equestria dreamscape. Fireworks Part of him knew he should wake Applebloom so they could go and find her family and head back to Sweet Apple Acres, but part of him just wanted to stay with her like this.
The colt was grappling with this dilemma when a soft, familiar voice addressed him.

One of the drawings from my last Picarto stream. While she is the Element of Generosity, Rarity remembers to allow some time for herself. This is one of those times. With the boutique closed for the day. Her little sister sent home for the evening. Rarity partakes of her time. Scented candles provide soft lighting for her long luxurious bath. Along with a bottle of chilled champagne and ...

This is was the last drawing I did during last night's Picarto stream. There was a request for an anthro version of Tempest Storm as punk guitarist.
Since I only had about 45 minutes to work with went for a fairly standard pose. I got the figure and pose in during the stream, and today I spent about another 50 minutes shading the ...

Another drawing from my last Picarto stream. There was a request for Princess Luna as a sea pony. This was very advantageous since I there is an upcoming Equestria dreamscape arc where Luna and Applebloom end up in an underwater dream arc as sea ponies. So why not kill two birds with one stone. Fulfill a request on the stream and get some preliminary study art out of the way. Also ...
