Equestrian Flag

I've been working on the paintings needed for the headcanon book, and here's one of the couple I finished today. The Equestrian Flag tweaked to better fit my headcanon. C: I'm hoping to find a place with reasonable pricing so I can actually make some small flags of this thing and include it into the limited edition package, but it's still kinda up in the air. :/

Equestrian 1 Bit Coin

Look what just came in! The 1 bit coin of my version of the Equestrian currency! ^.^ They look very good and have a great weight to them; quite authentic if you ask me. xD But yeah, I ordered fifty of them, but twenty will be saved so they will a special feature for those who order the Limited Edition of the book; the coin comes with a free velvet black pouch too. I'm starting to reach the home stretch. The book at the rate will be finish soon! C:

WIP- Book of Gaia limited edition cover

Here's the WIP for the limited edition cover of the Headcanon book. I've got most of the things needed for the book artwork lined and ready for color, so hopefully I'll be able to get them done quick. I'd love to have preorders available by this month. :O

Thumbnails- Headcanon Book

Aw man, it's been a crazy week. A busy one, but a productive one. As of today, the headcanon book is about 95% done! I'M SO HAPPY DFASASADFASA!!111! All that's left to do now is about 2 sections, and then do some speedpaints, and then it'll be ready for printing. If I keep up the work I'm doing now pre-orders for both the standard and the limited edition version will be happening in December. Here's to hoping! So to show what I've been up to, here's a compilation of thumbnails for some speedpa...

Equestrian Currency: Downloadable version

Just the downloads of the coin designs I did in case you guys wanted to see their details. Just check out the attachments above for them. :3

Equestrian Currency: Long Bit Designs (final)

Finally, I completed the designs for the Long Bits. These were the much easier for me to design than the last batch, but that's probably because I drew a little bigger for them. Whatever the case, I'm please with the outcome. :3 So these bits hold imagery that go along with Equestria's National Chant (ode?), which goes: In Equestria We Love In Luna We Trust In Celestia We Believe In Harmony We Protect The 20 Bit Coin's image is a stylized version of the Equestrian Flag and the 500 Bit Coin's i...

Equestrian Currency: Standard Bit Designs (final)

RE-UPLOAD (I edited the backs of the coins so they'd be accurate) The second batch of coins I spent all night working on alongside the Short Bit designs. These were easier for me, for whatever reason, but I'm not complaining. :/ For these, the images on the front of each coin are national symbols Equestria. From left to right, the symbols are: The National Animal (The pheonix) The National Flower (Celestial Lily) The Equestrian Flag The Seal of Equestria (which holds the nation's natio...

Headcanon Book Sneak Peek 3

I didn't have the time to do that livewrite like I wanted to since I've been busy, and couldn't actually get on the computer soon enough to do one at a reasonable hour or for a reasonable amount of time (I ended up writing content of the book around 2 AM- 6AM). In it's stead, however, I'll give you guys the link to a sneak peak of the section of history I still managed to finish: The Rise of Discord. Here's the link to it: 2014-11-08 03:29:43 +0000 UTC View Post

Equestrian Currency: Short Bit Designs (final)

I stayed up all night finishing these. Geez, coming up with designs for coins is sorta hard, but nonetheless fun! So here's the final designs of the coins sketched out, along with the intended color each coin will have. My next step is to add color to them, and then they will be ready for the book. I'm debating on whether to enlist the help of a digital artist in order to make the lines straighter and cleaner, but we'll see... I'm also debating on having some of these coins physically made so...

Headcanon book sneak peek: Equestria Bit Coin template

Just a little something for the headcanon book. This is the very basic designs I came up with for the Equestria Bit currency. This was made to basically help me decide on the overall template and color I'll be using for the finalized versions of the coins, if only to make things easier on myself. I'll be showing this on all of the websites I frequent, however those who are patrons to me will be the first to see the finalized designs of the coins. C:

Portrait Painting 2- Spike WIP

The sketch WIP of the next painting of my portrait series project. This time, it's of older Spike! I really wanted to do one of him but, since he doesn't have hair, I'll simply be painting him with green smoke billowing from his nose, and glitter that up. I'ma have some serious fun with this one. c:

Headcanon Voting 1

I'm basically finished with the patreon rewards and I'm almost finished with another painting that I'll be uploading here first. There is also going to be a livewrite scheduled (probably the only one where I'll allow all of my patreons to view it) so keep your eyes out for all of that. :3 In the meantime, I'd like to get some input on what you guys would like to see for my next headcanon sketchdump. So the vote is: which species would you guys want to see my headcanon for next? -Dragons -Griff...

MLP- The Diamond Dogs headcanon

Here we go! The headcanon sketchdump for the diamond dogs. c: I debated on either posting the entire headcanon on her or not, but then I finally decided not to do so unless you guys don't mind it. o3o So if you'd like to read the headcanon for the diamond dogs, you can do so here: http://earthsong9405.deviantart.com/art/MLP-The-Diamond-Dogs-487708914 I hope you enjoy! :D

The downloadable attachment of Nightmare Moon. As said, only you guys will have exclusive access to this download. Just check out the attachment for it. C:

Nightmare Celestia is almost finished; just gotta add a little more detail to her hair, color her eyes, and shade her armor. She should be posted up tomorrow or the day after, so keep yoor eyes open! In the meantime, here's the next headshot in my speedpainting painting/glitter series. It's of Cadance, but I think I may go back and adjust her face to fit the character more accordingly. Speaking of the series though, I want to mention that my patrons get an exclusive download of each image of th...

Patreon Update- Switched to Monthly

Alright, so as I've previously stated in my last update, I have edited my patreon so it can better fit a monthly setup more appropriately. The rewards have been changed accordingly, and if you guys feel like you should edit how much you've pledged thus far, feel absolutely more than free to do so. Just know that, because you have pledged before I changed to monthly, what the rewards were before I switched will still be distributed to you, plus the rewards that I've now offered up. c: Speaking ...

Important Patreon Update

Alright, this update is an important one, so please listen up you lovely folks! O: So originally this Patreon was created to help fund my trip to Bronycon. Any you know what? It was a great success! And a large part of that was because of you guys, so thank you all so much! Now because Bronycon is over and I have everything I need for future cons already purchased, I think I'll be shifting the focus of this Patreon to something else. And that will be college. I have recently been accepted to ...

Nightmare Celestia WIP

Alright, so Nightmare Celestia one the previous vote, so here is the WIP of our beloved princess of the sun! c: I apologize for the lackluster quality of the photo; can't find my camera currently so I used my phone for the the time being. O:

Extra Portrait Vote

Alrighty, time for a quick vote! I already have the two milestone images sketched out and ready for color, but in the meantime, I wanted to go ahead and get you guys' opinion one another portrait painting I'd like to do as another exclusive original. The first one I did was of Nightmare Moon, and I had my DA watchers vote for which three are going to be the ones you guys vote on. The three most voted ones are Nightmare Celestia, Spike, and Chrysalis. So here's the vote: Which of these three cha...

Just wanted to give you guys an update since it's nearing crunch-time for Bronycon. C: So first and foremost, thank you all for pledging to me and supporting my work; it's been a huge help in my preparation for Bronycon, and I really appreciate you all's help. So thank you so much! ^.^ And I apologize for taking so long with the rewards and Milestones; I've been working on them, but Bronycon's kinda kept my hands full. >.> Nevertheless, keep your eyes peeled for updates and WIPs of of th...

Just wanted to give you guys the first showing of the completed version of the Twi and Spike collab print. C:

The flat color WIP of the collab print I'm doin with Darkflame75 for Bronycon. It's really coming along! ^.^

The WIP of an upcoming collab print for Bronycon I'm doing with Boomythemc. This one is probably my favorite thus far! C:

ENOUGH, Brother!

The finished version of the lineart of Tirek and Scorpan, a collab between myself and the awesome Boomythemc. This is one of the two or three collaborations we've made for prints for Bronycon. I didn't upload this as soon as it was finished because I wanted to ask his permission to upload this to my patreon. Speaking of! Boomy made his own patreon recently, and his artwork is well worth supporting. C: To check out his gallery, go here: 2014-07-06 05:44:25 +0000 UTC View Post

I'll Catch You, Spike!

The WIP sketch for another collab print I'm working on, this time with DarkFlame75. The image is of Twilight Sparkle teaching Spike how to fly, but just in case he falls, she has her wings stretched outward in preparation to catch him. C:

Discord- Breaking Free

A speedpainting I did of Discord meant as a print for Bronycon. It's a little dark (thanks to the scanner) but it's pretty much done. I had lot of fun doing this one. C:
