Applebloom's anxieties stayed with her throughout the evening in my Equestria dreamscape. She ate her dinner and then helped with washing the evening dishes. With that accomplished she went upstairs and tried to do her homework, but she kept finding her eyes going back to Stone Mane's letter on her writing desk. 2017-10-17 16:46:43 +0000 UTC View Post

Study sketches related to an upcoming Equestria dreamscape posting. Shooting and firearms are not as prevalent as they've been in human history, but ponies still have them and just like humans if you have two ponies they will start arguing saying which is 'the best shot'. Out of these claims and boasts arose casual gatherings, informal challenges, and organized shooting ...

This is a moment from a dream I had last night in my Equestria dreamscape that I wanted to get down on paper so I figured I'd share it. This is not part of the current ongoing dream arc but many years later.
The gigantic being slowly continued its march across the landscape trampling everything in its way. Dozens of acres of tall conifers were cru...

Today 10/14/17 starting at 5:30pm Pacific Jaya King will be on my Picarto stream doing encaustic wax painting with her trusty blowtorches, and her OC pony Encaustica is fired up to be on the show as well!
Today 10/14/17 starting at 5:30pm Pacific, I am very proud to have Jaya King back on my Picarto stream demonstrating her encaustic wax painting technique. So join me for an evening of art, stories, a special guest artist, and some really great folks. See you there!
Yesterday I posted some sketches of my take on Tempest Shadow from the MLP Movie. This was the reason for those original sketches. This is Patreon reward for ArcticGryph0n. He wanted me to look at her armor from the movie and develop it into a more historical/realistic style. This is the end result.

I'm being asked to do my take on Tempest Shadow's armor from the MLP movie. Well before you can design a suit of armor for a pony you need to know that the pony under the armor looks like. I'm not even going to speculate what her cutie mark might look like since she didn't have one in the flashback scene.
Saturday 10/14/17 starting at 5:30pm Pacific I am proud to have Jaya King back on my Picarto stream demonstrating her encaustic wax painting technique. It's an ancient art method of melting bees wax, color pigment and damar resin and applying it to wooden panels. It has seen a resurgence in &nb...

While Celestia and other ponies grapple with matters of nation and state, one pony had her own crisis in my Equestria dreamscape.
Over last few weeks both Applebloom and Princess Luna had had numerous sessions in the Dream Realm with the young colt Stone Mane, and with their assistance and support the colt had made real progress in coping with his nightmares. A...

Well if you're going to post one scantily clad bunny girl in a bottle you might as well post two!
This is another $50.00 patron reward. This time for Chris Eley, and it is his OC Corin. It is part of series of drawings I'm doing for him as my way of saying thanks for his support! 2017-10-10 21:53:18 +0000 UTC View Post
Another Patreon reward. This time for a longtime friend and supporter James Birdsall! The characters is his OC Chandra and this bunny has decided to take a stab at Bottle Dancing just like the mice do. All she needed was a little magic to make her, well, little.
And here's the two pieces Return Fire Covering Fire combined as one image.

The running colt filled Vinyl's vision through her dotscope. Instinctively the unicorn reached out with her telekinesis and tossed the colt to the ground. The instant she had a clear sight picture she fired a 4 round burst from the UMP into the Screamer who'd been chasing the poor colt. The unstable mage crystals in the .40 projectiles detonated causing geysers of ichor to ...

One of the things I am frequently complimented on is how I am able to draw MLP ponies in so many different poses and doing such dynamic motions.
Key to this success is the fact that I focus heavily on the underlying skeleton and joints of the character. It this skeleton and it’s accompanying joints that define and constrain the r...

When you're learning it is easy to become frustrated when you see other artists creating great art and your work is not living up to your expectations. At times like this it's easy to just want to give up. Don't do it. When you're uncertain remember these three rules:

Another 1 hour drawing/sketch from my last Picarto stream. Someone requested an image of Applejack in a cocktail dress drinking cider. This piece proves that hard cider is perfectly fine to have at formal occasions.
The final sketch from my last Picarto stream. There was a request for an anthro Luna as a classic gangsters.
