Reaperbloom color

I have been working to finish as many of my clients commissions as quickly as possible. However I am allowing myself a little bit of time to get some speculative artwork for general sale and upcoming conventions. This will be particularly important if the Roan Kickstarter gets funded since it will have me very involved with it for a few months.

This is based off a scene from my Equest...

Bombshell

When I was getting ready for yesterday Ustream I came across a couple of

drawings I had done during the last stream but never got around to

posting. So have some Rosemary being a bombshell. The smart bomb is a

generic weapon of unknown make. I rummaged through my brain and cobbled

together what elements I could remember to create it. Oh I also didn't a

ruler so some ...

Ustream today 8/9/15 at 5pm PST

Just a reminder I'll streaming again today at 5:30pm. So grab yourself a

cold one and join me as I draw, chit-tat with folks and be all around

social! Especially if you were at Bronycon I'd love to get your

eyewitness report!

WWII German RPzB-54 Panzerschreck

One of the commissions I am working is going to have a German Panzerschreck anti-tank rocket launcher as a prominent prop in the picture. Since I've never drawn one before or really studied it, I thought it would be wise to do some study sketches of it first.

Lace, Patron reward for July

This is  reward for the month of July. https://www.patreon.com/user?u=92384&pat=1 The character's name is Lace and she has one of the most complicated manes and tails I've ever drawn! Before I started spent a few minutes just staring at the reference material deciding what was the best way to proce...

Skyshark $50.00 Patreon gift

This is a sketch I did for https://www.patreon.com/user?u=697531 for the month of August. Now many of my patrons have asked for sketches of characters of theirs, but one is not limited to that. So for this month Bernard asked me if I would lend my skills as a concept designer to help him develop an airship for a story he...

Griffin bard book cover

This is a commission I recently finished for Earl McClaw. McClaw came to me this year with an unusual request. Instead producing a finished piece of work that would be framed he asked whether I'd be willing to work on the cover of a book. This was a blank sketchbook that he would other artist fill interior with additional art.

This meant that I would be working on piece that would lat...

Commission: Averious round one sketches

These are a first round of study sketches I did for Averious commission. The commission has several elements that the client was very specific about, therefore to assure I got things right in the final piece I decided to do a series of study sketches first.

I got the green light from the client this afternoon so the next is to pore over the various features of USMC dress blues!

Orchestra finished the folk piece that Iron Forge had requested in my Equestria dreamscape, and the ponies gathered in the ballroom were applauding Granny Smith and Iron Forge performance. They were obviously confused by what they had observed but etiquette required it be acknowledged. Besides most of the Canterlot elite knew it was unwise to incur Iron Forge’s wrath, if he wanted to dance a fol...

Remembering past hospitality

Having made our grand entrance to Royal Banquet in my Equestria dreamscape, Petina, Carousel and I began mingling amongst the crowd gathered in great ballroom adjoining the royal dining room. A modest orchestra performed waltzes for ponies that wished to spend the evening dancing.

Dinner would not be for another couple hours but there were plenty refreshments to satisfy a pony’s hu...

Commission: Night Watch

This is a commission I recently completed for Sasta of their OC Reluctance. As you can probably tell Reluctance is a batpony. One of the interesting challenges of this piece deciding on what kind of armor to put her in. The client gave permission to put her in one of several different styles I've seen batponies wear in my Equestria dreamscape. In the end I took a common half-armor variant and adap...

Hello there! Just a reminder today at 5:30 pm PST will be my next video hangout! link So tune in and this afternoon and find out how our little road trip to sunny Southern California went for us!

Commission: Getting some rest

This is commission I did for Journeymaniac. I am not usually to keen on the "Human in Equestria" motif but when he described the setting I found it rather charming.

     The scene shows Ike, the human, asleep on the couch at Sweet Appl...

Wall-E study sketches

One of my outstanding commissions is with Screwloose who commissioned me to a do piece of pony art involving the star of the Pixar film Wall-E.

The piece will have Wall-E playing with some blindbag style pony toys, in particular a R...

Royal Introductions

    Candlelight danced off the royal guard’s gleaming gold plate armor as he led to us the Royal Sisters in my Equestria dreamscape. We came to a halt at base of white marble dais and waited silently as the Celestia and Luna finished greeting the party in front us.

    Over the past month Petina, Carousel, and myself had pored over etiquette books in the hope tha...

Moonshine

Since I will be doing 4th of July things tomorrow I figured I'd post

it now. This is Moonshine and she's friends with another batpony from my

Equestria dreamscape

Night Glade

While Night Glade is a botanist, Moonshine is a bartender at club in...

Celestia's mane

After much trial and error I have come to a realization. Do not attempt to rationalize Celestia's mane into some category, style, distribution. I now work under a simple principle. If her and her mane looks good in that pose then leave it be. Anything more and it's time to bang your head on the drawing table!

I-lim-ka study sketches

These are development sketches I have done for :iconEarlMcClaw:

commission. Now McClaw want the griffin in the MLP-FIM style and I

proposed a rather Celtic-style female bard for the project and he is was

cool with.

The interesting thing about this commission is that I

am doing the work on the cover of sketchbook that McClaw will have

artis...

Nice Apples

I know that there are many of my watchers who wish I would make more frequent postings of my Equestria dreamscape. Well at least I am now keeping to once a week minimum for new material. However it is not only my watchers who wish I could speed up the postings.

Last night Petina got a bit grumpy with me when we were alone in our cottage outside of Ponyville. She understands that I ha...

Off to the banquet

After a wonderful dinner at Verdant Fields we had gone out and enjoyed the nights festivities before retiring in my Equestria dreamscape.

The next morning the mares were up bright and early, they wanted to go into town and do some shopping while we were in Canterlot. It had been posted all over town and in the papers that most shops would be closing early today, and tonight was the R...

Applebloom uses presence attack

It's super effective! One of the things Applebloom is going to pick up in Equestria dreamscape from Luna is the importance of presence and how it can be used in different ways for a variety results. Especially in the Dream Realm. Here we see Luna's pupil putting her new found skills to use!

Pile of planes

Hit a bit of artist block today while working a client's project so I started farting around and began sketching out random aircraft ideas that popped into my head. About an hour and half later I had these and the solution to my client's project.

Verdant Fields is still great

It was dinnertime in my Equestria dreamscape. Since we were once again staying at the Black Stallion Hotel for Service to the Crown Day there was no way I was going to pass up another opportunity to dine at main hotel restaurant Verdant Fields. The last meal I’d eaten there had ended up being one of the high points of our visit to Canterlot for the Canterlot Music Festival. The moment we found o...
