Applejack's Warming Eve

Happy Hearth's Warming Eve y'all!

A little Applejack to fit the holidays!

Moon's Lull

Ah, now the two sisters both have their noir going. The darkest pony coat I've had to do in this style so far. Poses a bit of a challenge, but fun.

I've been a bit late with timelapse videos, but there is one planned for this piece! I got a some others to go through first, but I'll definitely get to this one.

Grounds of the Flightless

Imagining more types of gryphons! This time a flightless one, the Cassowary.

It's something I continiously like to expand on, and there's plenty of birds to choose from too! Different sizes, shapes, colours, etc. Trying to visualise them in gryphon form, pasting a cat butt on their backside. Who also happen to have a decent amount of variations themself!

I see these as a bit more primal in nature, less focused on  technological advancement as some of the other Gryphons, and...

Crossing the Alpples

Ah, humans. The face I had to figure out, make multiple iterations, do some practice on the side. Thankfully that helped!

Also it was fun to design an outfit again, created on the go. With some influences from older pieces I made.

Gosh darn do I keep making Applejack as human, though haha. Maybe it's time to make one of the mane 6 again, or somepony else even.

Sun's Respite (Art Timelapse)

To continue the time lapse videos, here's the other noir-ish piece! Hope y'all enjoy.

 Early Access for my $3+ Patrons.

(WIP) Apple at Arms

Been meaning to post some WIP images for Patrons. Had this progress last Saturday's Stream, will probably continue the next.

Figuring out human form again, mostly the face here, trying to take further steps into realism. Trying to avoid the cleaner stylistic (smoother) face types, and have a bit more rougher real faces. Or well, maybe somewhere in between haha. Will see where things go, I may still add some adjustments here and there, especially once colour comes in.

I've got several pro...

Winter Timbers

Probably just an average day, but in winter...

Glimmer in Star's Light (Art Timelapse)

After a long hiatus from them, finally I got a new time lapse video! Hopefully the first in many more to come.

Early Access for my $3+ Patrons.

The return of Time Lapse Videos

Small status update.

I'm in the process of bringing back art time lapse videos again, back from a long hiatus!

With the release of new time lapse videos, Patrons with $3 or more will receive early access! 

I'll be starting that as per the current videos I'm putting together right now for my most recent Starlight Glimmer and Celestia noir-ish pieces, available soon for Patrons.

This is part of my slow but continuous updating of all your rewards here on Patreon. I've been ...

Sun's Respite

Woo, I'm kinda glad I managed to stick with my plans and follow up the noir-ish pieces with Celestia! A bit more tricky, but I kinda managed to put something together, I think.

On the apple side

Every now and then, there's just that one style I gotta revisit again, and it becomes fun to just make... Applejacks in it haha.

Winter over the Fence

I wouldn't be me if I didn't make an Applejack every now and then, eh?

For those who's temperatures have been getting colder as well! They've definitely been over here hah. Now I just gotta decide... Hot Cocoa, or Hot Cider?!

Glimmer in Star's Light

http://assasinmonkey.deviantart.com/art/Glimmer-in-Star-s-Light-645559274 

Some greyscale noir! I know my older Rarirty piece was/is quite the favourite, so I thought I'd do one for Starlight to get me back into making greyscale, since it's been a while having worked greyscale.

The plan was to have this as a print at my next con! (Considering it's Pacific Ponycon and Kel...

Bunny Biz

http://assasinmonkey.deviantart.com/art/Bunny-Biz-645136120

Sometimes it's just fun to think up completely random stuff. Having to worry about their design, the shapes, painting, etc. The whole creative process from afresh.

So here we have Bunny Biz!
She's one of the two bunnies I sketched recently, called bunny Abs & bunny Biz.

A Stag of Change

http://assasinmonkey.deviantart.com/art/A-Stag-of-Change-644247295

Bonus finale piece. I usually make some more after a season ends. But I'll get into a bigger focus on my own stuff soon!

A Change of Heroes

http://assasinmonkey.deviantart.com/art/A-Change-of-Heroes-642982030

It was delayed by a week, because I was at Nightmare Nights, but here it is! My Season 6 finale piece!

It was quite an adventure making all the episode art. Thank you all for supporting me and allowing me to make all of it. I hope everyone enjoys it, and while technically this concludes Season 6 episode art, ...

Vapor Trailing

http://assasinmonkey.deviantart.com/art/Vapor-Trailing-640390011

More new ponies! Some interesting colours on Vapor here! And shapes too.

Lies Within

http://assasinmonkey.deviantart.com/art/Lies-Within-639075135

Although the theme went a bit darker than expected for this piece. I just had to make Applejack!

Yar Har Applejack

http://assasinmonkey.deviantart.com/art/Yar-Har-Applejack-637735218

Yar Har Hardy Haha. This Applejack was too great to not make. I had to. Such a fun little episode.

Applejack Anisketch

http://assasinmonkey.deviantart.com/art/Applejack-Anisketch-637521197

I don't make a lot of animations, but it's fun having your art come to life a bit.
I'm not an animator, though haha. This was just fun to try out again.

Deep Studies

http://assasinmonkey.deviantart.com/art/Deep-Studies-636428762

And an underwater painting study for me I guess! Fun practice.

Viva Las Gladmane

http://assasinmonkey.deviantart.com/art/Viva-Las-Gladmane-635137931

The reasoning behind picking this was a bit more practice on materials, and I hadn't made a statue in a while. So I gave it a shot. I gotta familiarise myself with gold again... but gold is pretty complex when it comes to metals haha.

Gabby Happy

http://assasinmonkey.deviantart.com/art/Gabby-Happy-633813372

Gabby really was infectiously happy and excited! While it was inevitable to kinda disappoint her, it made it even more valuable.

The Apple's Buckball

http://assasinmonkey.deviantart.com/art/The-Apple-s-Buckball-632427369

One of the few sports I may play, if only for Applejack... but still. It actually looked interesting with the Earth Pony, Pegasus and Unicorn combination.

Through Ogres and Oubliettes

http://assasinmonkey.deviantart.com/art/Through-Ogres-and-Oubliettes-631023770

This was such a great topic haha. Less deep story, but it was a good fun episode.  And a great reason to get to make some fantasy stuff again!

For a Change

http://assasinmonkey.deviantart.com/art/For-a-Change-629586998

Not really at my strongest lately, but I still wanted to do episode art of course. Hope I still managed.

Older Timer Speed

http://assasinmonkey.deviantart.com/art/Old-Timer-Speed-626581025

The carts were fun to see, the designs and references they made. Wacky stuff haha. So of course I had to make the best one.

The Real Strange Cipactli

http://assasinmonkey.deviantart.com/art/The-Real-Strange-Cipactli-625079538

It was so cute running around! I had to make this little creature, a Cipactli.

Saturday Madness Sketching

A bigger version of this page for you Patrons., a slightly digressed Saturday Stream result. Bunch of unfinished stuff, some sketches, experiments, the likes.

Applejacks, of course.

Apple Snatcher

http://assasinmonkey.deviantart.com/art/Apple-Snatcher-623614441

Watch out for the apple snatcher! She'll take your apples, and leave you behind possibly with a heart attack...

Sorry for the dangerous art! D:
