Pendant concept 1

One of the projects I'm working on for Bronycon; I plan on making some pendants and theses are a few of the images I want to be featured on said pendants! The pendants will be circular and 1in in size, and since I'm only doing 50 this year I had the idea of making it so, each character has 5 separate pendants to their name instead of 1 design. That way there's a wider variety of choices folks can choose based on the character they're interested in!

There will be more designs as I go, and s...

Lightning Catcher

Finished speedpainting print of Rainbow Dash havin' a grand old time in a storm! This piece was pretty experimental; I wanted to see what I could do with the image if I kept it kinda sketchy and continued with that throughout the image instead of fully rendering it. I think it came out rather well, all things considering! ^.^

Tranquility

A completed speedpaint I made for a possible print at Bronycon. Probably gonna be a small or medium print but, if enough folks like it, I'll make a couple of large ones. She was so much fun to paint! c:

Print WIP: I'll show you

Another WIP for a possible print for Bronycon. These are all speedpaints so far, and they are primarily gonna be for either small prints or medium prints so I have more of a variety to choose from. This one is of Twilight showing Spike a really neat but simple magic trick that makes it look like they're in a starlit sky. Spike's beyond fascinated; Twi just looks on proudly. ^.^

Print WIP: Lightning Chaser

Another WIP for a possible speedpaint print for Bronycon! Of the speedpaints I think this one may be the most eye-catching, at least so far. Hopefully it turns out well enough! ^.^

Nightmare Moon print WIP

Sorry for my silence as of late, you guys! I've been a little busy with school work, but I've also been busy with some Bronycon work, which means more WIPs and sneak peeks for you! 8D This one is one of those WIPs; a print of Nightmare Moon this year for one of my more "serious" prints, which I usually reserve for the Princess Sisters.

This will be a collaboration between myself and another deviantartist by the name of Turnipberry. If you haven't seen her work, I highly recommend it! The i...

Everypony Smile! WIP 2

Another WIP of the Mane 6 poster print, this time featuring them with flat colors. I'ma take a quick break from it today before getting back to work on it, but I'm likin' how it's looking so far. I'm still trying to debate whether or not the background should be plain white or have something in t, but for now I'll leave it alone until I can figure it out. :3

Headcanon book: Bugbear

The completed version of the Bugbear in the headcanon book. I don't have any headcanon of it written yet, but I figured I'd go ahead and post this up so you guys can see it. :3

Mane 6 print WIP

Well well well, lookie what we have here! c:< This is one of the Mane 6 prints I'll be having for Bronycon, although it'll be exclusive to just Bronycon. The sketch itself was a drawing I wanted to make a print out of last year but never got around to it, but here we are, a year later, and I'm determined to finish it! Some things have been altered and corrected, but the overall feeling is there. I hope you guys like it so far, and expect more WIPs of this sort in the future! :3

Headcanon Book WIP: Tatzlwurm

Behold! I come bearing sneak peeks for the limited edition version of the book! O:

First up is the WIP sketch of the Tatzlwurm, as well as its actual entry to the book! I've decided to color these digitally with either simple or no shading (so long as it's relatively clean), but there's more on that later. For now, here's the worm's headcanon (please note that it hasn't been spellchecked yet):

Location: The Tatzlwurm tend to favor very arid, dry, and/or desolate areas, an...

Headcanon book: bonus pages in progress!

Alrighty, so with you guys' help, I've finally decided on what creatures will be featured in my bestiary for the limited edition version of the book, so thank you all so much! ^.^ Based on the votes (as well as a couple of extra additional creatures), this is what's gonna be featured in the bestiary:

Ursa Minor and Major

Hydras

Parasprites

Manticore

Pigasus

Fruit Bat and Vampire Fruit Bat

Chupacabra

Phoenix

Timberwolf

Cockatrice

Twilight t-shirt wip: Which outfit?

Hey guys, I need some help! This here is the WIP of a possible t-shirt design for Bronycon but I can't decide between making the Mane 6 wear some of my favorite outfits from the show, or make them wear some nice dress clothes (specifically, different variations of Tuxedos). So I did a quick color-over of the WIP so you guys can see the two versions of clothing.

Which do you think would work better? Tuxedo Mane 6, or them wearing my favorite outfits from the show? (For Twilight, my favorite...

Choosing the creatures for Bestiary: Opinions wanted!

Alrighty, folks, so I want to start work on the limited edition version of the headcanon book but before I do that, I need some opinions one what creatures should make it into the Bestiary of the book. So far, the Wyvern is a definite and so is the Manticore, the  Timberwolf, and the Phoenix, but aside from those four the rest are on the fence. I'm having a hard time deciding among these creatures to include:

Ursa Minor and Major

Hydras

Cerberus

Bugbear

Headcanon book Bestiary- sneak peek

It may not look like much, but this WIP sketch is actually for the limited edition versions of the headcanon book, so it's pretty important... to anyone who may be interested, at least!

One of the many creatures suggested for the book that I'm definitely doing is the Wyvern, but what I have in mind for them is a little different than what one would assume.

For starters, the Wyvern in the MLP world isn't a dragon, although it is a very distant relative of them (sorta like what hye...

King of Lightning- WIP

Another WIP for a possible print for Bronycon 2016. I plan on having prints for as many characters as possible so there will be a little something for everyone this year. That, and I haven't done much with Thunderlane and I actually have some headcanon for the character. For this image, Thunderlane is essentially demonstrating his ability to summon short bursts of lightning. C:

Headcanon Speedpaint WIP- Flat Racing

This is a sneak peek of one of the speedpaintings I'm planning on doing for another "series" of sorts; paintings that explore the culture of Equestria and the world the ponies live in. These will act more as coloring practice as well as worldbuilding than anything else, but yeah.

This one, as you can probably tell, is about one of the many Racing scenes in Equestria. The citizens of Equestria DO have domesticated animals as beasts of burden (to replace the horse's place as one of the bigge...

Element of Kindness- WIP

The WIP of Fluttershy's submission in my "Standard Model" series! I've already begun shading on her but I may go back and change it up a bit because I'm kinda not liking the direction this one is taking as far as her shading goes. Other than that, I like how she's coming so far, especially her magic. Also, if you're wondering about why her wings are so large, it's because I headcanon her to have the longest wings in comparison to Twi and Rainbow. This is because her wings are better built for lo...

Element of Laughter wip

The WIP of the next installment of the "Standard Model" series, Pinkie Pie! I had a lot of fun with her pose, now all she needs is shading, lighting, and her magic painted in and she'll be done. C:

Element of Honesty: Tshirt peek

Just wanted to show off the way the latest painting looked on the shirt. I think it's lookin' pretty good so far. :3

Element of Honesty: Complete

This is the completed version of the Element of Honesty painting I was working on. I really like the way it came out, but I think I may do a slightly alternate design for the sake of the shirt so it can be either more eye-popping, or have a better graphic-like background in addition to what I already have there. This was so much fun to paint. :3

Keep an eye open 'cause I'll be uploading the full file free to download later!

Element of Honesty

Here's the WIP image of the next installment of my "Standard Model" project, Applejack! She's completely flat-colored now and all she needs is her shading (I'm thinking of a hybrid between cell and soft shading) the representation of her magic (which will be floating rocks and a forest-green lighting), and the textured background to for it's fitting of a shirt. I dunno what her background should be, but while I want it somewhat like Twi's I want something different for it as well. Any suggestion...

Book of Gaia PDF

As promised, here is the PDF for  the headcanon book. It's a little big, so be prepared! O:

Opinion needed: Which design do you like best?

Like the title says, I need an opinion from you guys! So I've been thinking and I kinda like the idea of my secondary Mane 6 painting series (The Standard Model one) being made into Tshirts instead of prints, and I decided to play around with Twi's and see what I could get. These two are the designs I personally like the best, but I can't decide between them.

Which design would you guys prefer if you were to get the shirt? Let me know in the comments, please! c:

Element of Magic File

Here's the high quality PNG of the latest image I made, Element is Magic. Just check the attachment for downloading. :3

Element of Magic

I decided to test out my coloring abilities in Photoshop and ended up with this. I don't think I did too bad, but I still got quite a ways to go before I'm efficient at it. :/ I like how this came out, though; it may be a shirt for Bronycon this year if enough folks like it. :3

I'll make this public a little later, but for now, enjoy your first-access privileges! I'll also upload the HD file later in case anyone wanted to download it. c:

Relaunched Patreon: changes now implemented

Alrighty, so I went about deleting everyone who hasn't responded to me so their cards won't be charged, and I've done the necessary changes to my patreon. As such, the patreon is now officially been relaunched! For those of you who decided to stay with me, thank you so much for your pledge and support. I really appreciate it, you have no idea. ;_;

So to kick off the new relaunch of my patreon, I have a few announcements about a couple of things. First and foremost, the headcanon book. For ...
