The big pony project completed!

I am next resuming my comics Bowsette and APA. And occasional additional Marble Mare Manquee. I just need a few days of rest first. I haven't done anything but draw 3 months nonstop without a single day or evening off.

News bit!

So, it seems I am working on two issues back to back, unfortunately this means no free comics from me for a bit longer than I was expecting. Sorry about that you all, The comics will resume as normal once I have ended my workload! Nothing is cancelled or dead, I just am swamped now!

I'll be posting some commissions I did before this all at some point when I find myself with a bit of time in my hands! I have been posting little teaser pictures on my discord patreon section of the comics ...

That white lombax.

Only a few know her name, she doesn't know Ratchet's name. Who needs a name anyway!

I guess part of me always wanted to be attracted to a lombax  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ .

-I marked this patrons only only to gate the mature rating. Feel free to post it to any gallery you see fit, I don't know these newfangled art sites. I just draw in my cave.

Attached along side is the full resolution version.

Bowsette book 3 PDF ETA

I'll be compiling Bowsette 3 into a book this week or weekend, depends how soon I have a cover done for it, I have so many hot irons to work on that It's hard to set suitable moment aside! Sorry for the delay on it.

Commissions open!

Due to some international banking hiccups, my payday has been delayed unknown length of time, and my rent and other expenses (like taxes) will not wait. So after having all my savings repoed this spring, the sudden delay has left me facing terrible economical disaster. Rather than just begging for money, I prefer to work for it, so Commissions are now open and my comics are on hold until my bills are paid or I am left homeless, which ever comes first.

As you may have noticed

My comics have resumed again, and my IDW comics are flowing out to stores at a steady pace! I have been planning an indie project comic too so now that I have some time to work on concept arts I might start teasing that here too to my patrons. 

For now, There'll be the APA and bowsette comics, done occasionally all digital and on occasion on paper with ink so I can keep my wrist in working order.

More work fell on me while I was taking my week long break.

And by fell, I mean an artist working on pony issue 84 has unfortunately stepped aside from the project, and fortunately I picked up the project. Unfortunately this means further delay on Bowsette and APA, and also it means another merciless crunch where I must squeeze 2 months of work into one. Fortunately then again this means more official pony from me and this issue is looking to be really good and cute one.

I have already worked on this a week but I just got home few days ago and n...

Summer update!

Alright, IDW project is drawn, and after taking a week off my tendinitis (inflammation of the tendon in my drawing arm) is starting to relent, so I'll be picking up Bowsette and APA, ASAP.

I also have been working on paper with ink, so I'll likely set some of the original pages up for sale at some point, and finally patreon discount coupon promises can be fulfilled.  

At any rate, thank you all for your patience, this was super hectic spot with delays in the production line p...

4k celestia

I don't know how, buit somehow Patreon decided to shrink the Celestia?

Maybe there's a trick to downloading the 4k version of the image file I posted, anyway, here's the 4k version for those who do not know that trick.

Simiantelligent Vol.1

Here's the Simiantelligent issue I did for Dawnsomewhere as a comfy PDF.

Likely will be producing second volume at some point!

Bowsette Saga Vol.2

Here's the missing piece, i forgot to upload this way back when because Patreon at the time was having issues.

APA7 RAR

Alright, here's the .png files of APA 7th volume in full resolution.

IDW work done! Resuming my own comics while waiting for the next project!

APA and next volume of Bowsette go under the pen tomorrow, I don't know how long of a window I have for now, Because Editor said she'll contact me soon with more work, but at least I get a few pages out in the tightest of windows even! (unless she drops a project on me on monday) It'll be a double-issue project so I understand if people want to pause their patreon donations as I will be neck deep in work and can't do much of my own stuff. As blessed as I am to have some future work guaranteed...

I have gotten another script to draw from IDW on My little pony : FiM, so bowsette and APA will take again short hiatus.

APA 5 RAR files that I forgot to upload to patreon long ago.

Here we go, a gentleman from Patreon caught my oversight! Thank you for reminding me!

HD files are in native resolution. Huge files for huge screens. Also for printing.

Maybe it works now to all.

To those who are dissatisfied with Patreon's behavior.

I've received many people's apologies on their dropping of my support in the light of recent events around banning of certain people and I wish to remind those, as well as  let you all know, if you still hope to support me and cut out this middleman, you can do so by means of paypal directly to  paypal.me/ponysmith or change the middleman and jump to ko-fi services at :

Last day of comic Work crunch!

Bowsette and other comics resume very soon, after I take one day of recovery time after this crunch and clean up my house which I have been neglecting now 4 weeks of 16 hour workdays nonstop.

Boy has it been rough. those 6 hours extra work every day really tax the man.

Little update in the midst of inking my official work!

The deathly deadline of doom's been hard on my back, neck and shoulders, thank medicinal developments for the painkillers that keep me pushing against a deadline almost as tight as my neck muscles! I've made good progress and after this project is done will resume my Bowsette and APA in turns of one page of each. (barring I get more work from IDW again, then it is back in to the golly grind over the holly holidays, which I would prefer, on account of getting money to pay my bills and rent.)

News, status update, commissions etc.

Alright! Since it took 3 weeks longer than expected to get my PC from the store, there's been slight delays on my plans for the streaming and stuff.

However the PC is now in working order and streams can resume. After my little visit to mother to repair her storage shelves that collapsed under the weight of her possessions, and a short hiking trip in the woods I am finally at home and before my new working PC.

And my return was sweetened by a bunch of GREAT NEWS EVERYONE! As Bobby Curnow...

A cover concept art that didn't make the mark!

Other cover design was selected, but I liked the color range I put into this so I share it with you all.

More official pony comics coming from me!

I got yet another project to work on from IDW. This one has a bit more generous deadline so there's room for a few pages of APA here and there as well as few commission opportunities.  So that's nice! 

Also look forward to next issue of pony as that's the first one from me!

News for July!

I will be opening commissions and resuming APA in July. Also Art streams will make a comeback soon, patrons will have something to look forward too as the Simiantelligent issue comes to a conclusion and I resume either sunbutt sunday or Fluttershy Friday, depeding which one I have more strip ideas for! They will continue as a light slice of life content while I work more on Trixie Tuesday concept and get my PC updated to working order so I can stream again.

The tutorial series will debut in Ju...
