Intruder in Cargo Bay 6

Applebloom slid up the vent cover and peers into the ventilation control unit. The interior of the unit was drenched with a clear, thick, viscous mucus. The earth pony's face expressed her digust.

     "Did one of the heat exchangers have seal fail and it leaks its coolant all over it...

2024 Thumbnail Sketch Dump 01

Since folks seem to enjoy looking at these. Here is a selection of thumbnail sketches from late 2023 and 2024. This is not every thumbnail I've done recently. In fact it's a fraction of them.

The gramophone record came to an end. Applebloom finished her dance routine and then slowly sauntered over and laid down and rested her head on a large pillow/cushion. She then smiled at her sole audience.

Fluttershy pushed aside part of her soggy mane as she looked the Dianoga in the eye. At the same time she nonchalantly slapped away one of its tentacles that was being just a bit too feelie. With that accomplished she spoke to the ce...
