working on a proper ref for these two dweebs
focusing on giving them a distinct sort of visual duality, and also making skyla less of a goddang cadence clone

concept doodle, i'd like to explore cadence and her relationship with her daughters (and kingdom)
Princess Cadence fascinates me. Not her actual character (which is remarkably flat). But like....her conception. Alicorns were a big deal back in early MLP. Celestia and Luna were powerful and mysterious beings, and we didn't know the extent of their abilities.
Then came this little pink powder puff. Why was she an alicorn? Where'd she come from? Who are her parents? All these a...
2020-03-16 01:24:02 +0000 UTC View PostI wrote a self-indulgent Bruce/Stormy ficlet during some of my down time. Mostly focuses on how they coped with the arrival of their second child, Finn, Trigger warning for discussion of potential stillbirth and pregnancy loss. (Also possibly inaccurate medical procedures, pls forgive me). Angst with a happy ending.

I do my hair toss
Check my nails
Baby how you feelin'?
Feeling good as hell!
Woo child, tired of the bullshit
Go on dust your shoulders off, keep it moving
Yes Lord, tryna get some new shit
In there, swimwear, going to the pool shit
Come now, come dry your eyes
You know you a star, you can touch the sky
I know that it's hard but you have to try
If you need advice, let me simplify
I'm in love with an uptown girl,
You know I've seen her in her uptown world,
She's getting tired of her high class toys
And all her presents from her uptown boys

sorry for the barrage of sloppy wips lately, i'm pretty strapped for time
Unlike ahuizotl, sphinxes are solitary predators and are hyperaggressive in defending their territory. Sphinxes meet up only to mate, after which the male leaves. The female raises her cub alone, and as soon as it's old enough, mother and child will battle for ownership of the home territory. There can be only one winner, and the loser is driven off, never to return.

hey
maybe don't steal that baby
One more doodle before bed. I looked at some old clips of MLP for inspiration, and it led me to a jarring observation. Daring Do is totally the bad guy.
In her last feature episode, Ahuizotl reveals himself to be a temple guardian, desperately working to preserve native artifacts. While Dr. Caballeron admits to having plundered artifacts to get rich, Daring Do says "The only reason I've been taking the artifacts is because I tho...

ayyyy congrats to y'all that guessed the identity of Montezuma's mother
it's the sphinx from the legend of Somnambula, who is very much still alive, thank you, being one of the last ancient immortals and all
Ahuizotl apparently likes em BIG and CHUNKY

Ahuizotl (the species) exhibit curious sexual dimorphism. The males are smaller and brightly colored, which favors them well in wooing mates and fighting off rivals. The females are much larger, with duller coats that provide excellent camouflage in their jungle environment. A male courts a female with songs, dances, and elaborate gifts. Should a mating bond form, the male kicks back to enjoy his new role as flashy trophy husband, and takes care of the pups while the female goes out to hunt.<...

getting closer! toying around with body shape
Montezuma (more accurately Moctezuma) is a new nextgen, because i have no impulse control. He's pretty evil and mcfuckin hates ponies, especially his adoptive parents, Daring Do and Dr. Caballeron

PeachyFact4: When it comes to sheer physical might, Peachy has never once been bested. Not even by an overconfident alicorn hoping to impress their datemate.

Peachy's special talent is singing, her official profession is vocal coach. Here she is teaching a young (and very nervous) Prima Donna!

honestly one of the greatest appeals of drawing ponies is often i get to draw dumb shit like this
it's not really relevant but i call the pony lady Betty and her cryptid husband is Ogg

Peachy Fact 3: In her spare time, Peachy grows giant vegetables. Each and every one of them has a name, and Peachy dotes on them lovingly from seed to stew pot!

i thought i'd do a lil character fact page, with a simplified art style (cuz too often i get tied up drawing unnecessary detail)
Fact1: Peachy was a big foal. Poor Cheerilee. Apple Family mares traditionally give birth unassisted, right inside the barn. Cheerilee noped the hell out of that and opted to birth Peachy in a hospital, mercifully numb below the waist.

Fact2: Peachy successfully mad...

cleaning up some doodles, i have a bad habit of doodling on bits of paper instead of in my sketchbook. These are all ideas that I mean to get to later, but I often misplace them or forget them. I've compiled a few of them into a big rescued-idea pile.
Here's a short poem about Belle and Huck,

chakra and midnight, back in the good old days. i imagine their convo is going something like

you're gonna have a happy birthday and like it, cupcake
Despite coming from a family of hypersocial peppy party ponies, Cupcake isn't the best at socializing and hates being in the spotlight. It makes her feel awkward and shy. Often she shuts down and can't find her voice when all eyes are on her. She tries to grin and bear it for her parents' sake.....she knows they mean well.

more moony and cupcake stuff, they're pretty close as far as cousins go
2020-01-31 00:46:39 +0000 UTC View PostI figured one more thing I could make patreon exclusive are the bajillion lil scraps and bits of writing that I end up either abandoning, or setting aside for later. Here's a brief scene between Moondancer and Cupcake, set in their late teens. It didn't sit well enough with me to make canon, but who knows, maybe I'll touch the idea again someday. For now, enjoy a scene that never was.

Ocellus annoying her pops, as she has dutifully done from almost the minute she hatched
my headcanon goes like this. Ocellus is a "new era" changeling, born shortly after the political marriage of Queen Chrysalis and Princess Celestia. Due to the more or less successful integration of her changelings into pony society, Chrysalis was able to soak up more ambient love to create a new, healthier, more colorful brood of subjects.
