I may have already posted this but I am testing to see if Patreon will accept anything I try post because it has been refusing to accept the new posting I have been trying to put up for the last hour plus.

Did a sketch/illustration tonight of Zoe Saldana's character Captain Celaeno from the upcoming MLP movie. When I first saw the character design I thought.
"Boy I bet there is going to be a lot of fan art of this character."
So I did some checking around and discovered there doesn't seem to be that much fan art yet...

While Keyboard and Scarlet Tips deciphered the meaning of the brass poles that Scratch had purchased in my Equestria dreamscape other ponies were awaiting mail from the performer.
Marble Vein levitated a stiff white card up above her head. It was roughly 14"x 17" in size and written on side facing away from her was:
2 + 5 = 8

I made an important discovery yesterday. I should not make posts when I am having a massive back spasm. If you saw yesterday's the posting right after I put it up you might've thought my writing skills had taken a turn for the worse. I'm no author. I'm a storyteller, but recently I have made an effort to improve my writing skills.
What happened is that I was in the middle of some pretty horrific...

While Petina and Carousel ponder how Scratch's letter effect our future in my Equestria dreamscape. On the other side of the kingdom folks we're dealing with stuff that Scratch had mailed to them.
Scarlet Tips shook her head as Keyboard fiddled with her boots for what seemed like the hundredth time in last hour. Finally the griffin spoke up.

A patron reward for Mizuho164. Summer is almost here and for many that means a day at the beach to escape the heat and have some fun.
For my OC Rosemary Parker though a trip to beach sometimes is not for recreation but her punching the clock as she goes to work as a professional swimsuit and lingerie model. Here we see her earning her paycheck and showing what she can do!...

A patron reward for Clear Skies who has a thing for Octavia and Vinyl Scratch. Now this piece was interesting because he wanted his OC Clear Skies in the picture but wanted his OC to be in a full pony form while Octavia and Vinyl would be in anthro form.
Now Clear Skies thinks like I do that ponies in the show are smaller than humans so this also made for some amusing size differences between th...

Vinyl Scratch talks Octavia into cosplaying Tifa Lockhart from Final Fantasy VII at a youth music festival. Vinyl thinks it's a great plan!
FYI. Before you ask this one is sold already.
We're having our first real heat wave of the year in our neck of the woods. Had to hook up the A/C units for the first time. That's probably what inspired me to sketch this out today.
AJ laid back in the cast iron bathtub and let the coolness of the water slowly seep into her. Then she took another swig of Sweet Apple Acres finest....

Today was a very busy day in the studio plus I had lunch and did a framing consultation with a client. This is the current big commission that I am tackling.
If you've been following me you've seen the development art for this piece. Well it is finally coming together as a finished work.

Since there have been a slow, but steady series of improvements to my Picarto stream, I thought it only appropriate that I make some new announcement art for it.
This was a one and a half hour speedpaint of sorts that I did in Clip Studio Paint. Definitely more of a study than a finished piece.
If you have been following me for a while you would've seen the digital development of this piece as it evolved from rough color thumbnail into its final composition and here is the finished colored pencil piece.
This piece is a Patreon reward fo...

A Patron reward. It is interesting sometimes when you meet someone under circumstances different than you usually associate them with. Like randomly run into a coworker away from work. Or seeing how a friend behaves differently at their job.
Or meeting your elementary school teacher at the beach during summer vacation, and you've never imagined her in a bikini.

This means any new Patrons pledging will be automatically charged, after that it will charged them in the usual fashion at the start of the month. I did not want to use this feature but the problem has started to take up more and more of my time.
So this is the finished piece I've been working on, and yes I plan to offer prints of this one especially at Bronycon. Along with just wanting to do a Wonderbolts picture I also used this piece to explore a problem I have encountered in the past.
There has been several pieces, usually involving Vipera Vixen, where in the process creating the image...

This Saturday starting at 5:30pm Pacific I'll be streaming again on Picarto! This stream I'll be publicly unveiling a very large, new, awesome piece of art and working on Patreon rewards. So join me for an evening of art, stories and good times! Oh and bartender I put a vote in for mint juleps. I'll even provide the mint!
Having recently finished a gigantic color commission. You guys will see it soon, be patient. I decided to reward myself by doing a color piece for myself. Besides doing this piece in helping confirm some techniques for my next 3 color commissions.
I've gone from really liking the Wonderbolts, to not liking them at all, to starting to like them again. It ...

A 1hr digital piece I did tonight after dinner. The point of the exercise is to develop the speed and understanding of the tools that I can begin to create digital art as fast as I can with traditional paper and pencil or ink.
Also I tinkered with a slightly toned background and some effects that made it look like an old photograph.
The image was done in Clip Studio Paint on a ...

Petina happily trotted out to our mailbox in my Equestria dreamscape. Opening the box she looked inside noticed that the carrot nut muffin she placed in there this morning was gone and in its place were several envelopes and an obviously quickly written note.
"Thank you for the muffin!" Was all it said.
Petina smiled, she rather ...
