Need Cursed Ships

Heyo! Y’all know that AU curse idea where people are magically forced to pair with someone terrible for them or they’ll die? Specifically the one for ponies, where the cutiemark of their “soulmate” appears on their body? Idk if I’m describing this well. Basically, the prompt is a pony is forced to be with a someone pre-chosen for them, or they’ll die. Even if their “soulmate” is the worst possible pony for them.

Well I wanna draw some Cursed!ships, but I’m having troub...

My Little Griffon

" Приве́т, fellow griff! Are you knowing where I can find lamb femur? I am ravenous!"


a few people requested Raduga in the cutesy canon style. Threw in a Gilda for comparison

Raduga can consider herself lucky I didn't base her off my second favorite burd, the Shoebill.

Suppression of Dissent

Vogue and Raduga, serving a night in jail for leading a peaceful protest

Raduga is a good friend of Vogue. She'd grown up eagerly collecting pony fashion magazines and devouring book after book on fashion design. She finally managed to save up enough bits to move to Canterlot bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, dead-set on becoming one of the next top minds in fashion, a model. But every modelling agency she applied to always went cold after the first interview. Was it her broken Equuish? Rad...

her name is Raduga, she's a griffon from mountain country. Pls don't be dissuaded by her habit of swallowing rodents and eating bones, equines have such delicate sensibilities, goodness. Is only natural, darlings!


Equestria has been undergoing a massive culture shift in recent decades. After the establishment of Twilight's University of Friendship, the kingdom has begun mingling with other nations, resulting in ponies traveling and settling do...

The Lies That Kill Us (Pending Draft)

Discussion: Fancy and Fleur

I've hit a snag in my writing for The Lies that Kill Us. It can be tricky writing an affair, especially between cutesy ponies. If I can spoil the plot a little, what I've got so far is that Fleur has her affair with Blueblood as revenge against her husband, who has grown cold and distant and too caught up with business dealings and the flanks of younger mares. The gist of it is, the Canterlot elite culture has poisoned them both, they have fully bought into the selfishness and snobbe...

How could you be so heartless?


not.....super happy with the composition of this (i put the subjects smack dab in the middle! What rule of thirds? My painting professor would have given me a smack) but i'm happy with the colors, i experimented a lot with this piece and i'm moooostly satisfied with it

Confrontation WIP 2

haha now y'all get to see how fugly my art is why i try to hammer out the general direction I want for the light, color, and background. Similar: 


changed vogue's expression to betrayal and disbelief, she's desperately hoping her mother will deny her accusations (also i have way too many drawings of ponies yelling at ponies in my gallery)

Confrontation

YO BUT WHY'D YOU CHEAT ON MY DAD YA DINGUS


Fleur not getting "called out" for her affair with Blueblood is one of the more common criticisms of this particular story arc. The complaint always struck me as strange, considering I never saw anyone demand the same of Blueblood himself, who, y'know, deliberately preyed upon the wife of one of his oldest friends. I had people requesting Fleur be abandoned, screamed at, even slapped or hurt. Kind of creepy, all the calls fo...

Missus Peachbottom's special talent is raising and breeding fancy show chickens. Her prize hen, Big Mother Clucker, has won the Great Canterlot Chicken Contest three years running. This has earned Peachbottom the jealous ire of Pandora, and her clearly superior beloved pet chicken, Henrietta (who deserves to...

random facts:

-Hayseed Turnip Truck is Apple Family kin, a distant cousin of Applejack's. 

-Turnip Green is kind of a little hillbilly edgelord, he's often surly and often considers his younger siblings to be nuisances. Secretly though, he'd take on a timberwolf for any one of them.....and even more secretly...

Mistmane, Autumn

these two were going to be part of an info-illustration i was planning to do on unicorns horns, like the one i did on pegasi wings

buuut i was really frustrated drawing these and i'm pretty unhappy with the final result. Oh well, maybe I'll try again later

the basic idea here is that kirin are more closely related to deer than ponies, and in lieu of a horn they have a single large antler. Mistmane, being a very ancient pony from a faraway land, has a curved spire-like horn rarely ...

Voltage Warning

dun smooch the zappy boi

most pegasi have an affiliation for a particular element of weather- wind, rain, ice, fire, etc.....Zipperflash has a lightning affiliation. It runs in his family! It just means he's particularly good at controlling electricity, not that he's entirely immune to it. Most pegasi wouldn't use their wings to hold an electric charge, because y'know, lightning + pony = death, in most cases. But Zips was raised by a reckless daredevil Ma, he's a lot bolder (st...
