Well, I've gone and made the leap. It's time to put my money where my mouth is. As of May 21st 2015 I will be quitting my job as Sales Supervisor at University Art and going full-time as a professional artist! This is one of the most exciting and anxious times in my life. From here on out I will be basing my financial livelihood on my ability to generate enough income through my artistic abilities...

Something I haven't posted in while, aviation concept art. Last weekend I official got onboard with mh47e to do artwork for an upcoming game he is developing called Roan. Since part of the work I will be doing will involve aircraft I decided to scratch out some designs yesterday while taking a break from other clients work and folding the laundry. This what I came up during that time. After some ...

This is a B/W commission I just finished today. The client wanted a black and white drawing of their character who appears in regularly in his gaming group. The character's name is Steel Heart and the client presented me with several interested challenges. The biggest was how to leave his hindquarters effectively exposed since his cutie mark had to be exposed to do some of his special abilities,...

A couple days ago I realized I had not done any mecha designs in ages. So yesterday I broke out my sketchbook and brainstormed up a couple of possible designs. I had no particular setting in mind I just wanted to play with a couple ideas. The top design I envisioned as something akin to a scout/ light attack helicopter that would recon the battlefield looking for enemy forces then it would bug ...

At the moment if someone was to come my Patreon site they might think I only worked in black or white or I was color-blinded since everything I have put up is just that. So I thought I would put up a view examples of my color to! This is Golden Bill from my Equestria dreamscape. She is the Scratch's lead bass player and long term romantic partner. The piece is done in my usual mixture of colored...

A major landmark around Ponyville is schoolhouse. Since I will be doing a picture soon involving this location I thought it would be wise to do at least one drawing of it. Also for all my patrons. I have been posting many of images at first in public view to help build a gallery of images for other potential patrons to view when they are deciding whether to sponsor me or not. However once I star...

These are some random sketches of Applebloom from my Equestria dreamscape. Two of them are of her sparring and studying on Zecora's guidance. The third one is based on a dream that plan to complete as a finished color piece. Hopefully this year if I'm lucky.

More images and thoughts from Andur. Keeping a city of over 120,000 running in the 14th Century takes work. One species that has had a special role in this city's history are the Water Buffalo. Having resided in originally Malakakar, Andur's original name, for over 600 years they have seen rulers come and go. While they work in wide range of professions there is one profession that they are best ...

More snippets from my Equestria dreamscape. Recently I met my first bat ponies, and this is one that made a particularly in big impression. Her name is Night Glade and she's a botanist and not too surprising she specializes in studying nighttime blooming plants and flowers. Overall she's a great pony although she plays up the whole "creature of the night" thing just to freak out other ponies.

Another piece of nautical art from my Andur dreamscape. The Bay of Andur see many ships from around Red Sea and the Indian Ocean, but perhaps the most exotic are the Viking Long Ships of Valhaulla. Valhaulla, is Viking merchant, mercenary, and moving company. They'll deliver to place they don't know about. Their long ships are some of brightest and most colorful vessels to drop anchor in the Sul...

This is image is based off a scene from my Equestria dreamscape and is the preliminary B/W study for a color piece hope to have completed by the end of th...

To those who already watch me on DA and FA, yes this is an older posting but I still think it is a neat drawing and a good place to start folks on the Andur dreamscape. Andur. This is the oldest of them and unfortunately I will not be able to give the day by day telling of events there like I have in Equestria. This is due to the fact that my first dream their occurred in September of 1995. The p...

This a study drawing I have done in preparation for an upcoming illustration. The illustration is going to have an Old School-style chopper with a Panhead engine, since I have never drawn a Panhead before I thought it wise to study the motor first before I tried to render it on the final working surface. When I do these studies I do not attempt to create a perfect representation of the object; ho...

One of the biggest, literally, players in my Equestria dreamscape. The Realm of Dragons is a collection of independent territories. Each of these territories is ruled over by a Great Dragon who has many lesser dragons and younger drakes living in its territory. These lesser dragon have sworn to serve and protect their Great Dragon's realm and hoard; in return for its protection the lesser dragon...
