Get well now

Baron's Art Tips. Always give your client more than one choice when proposing a composition to them. However don't flood them with choices. I find 3 is good starting number to work with.

 These are some compositional thumbnails for an upcoming commission for Hinoki who's recently had some medical adventures, but don't worry Nurse Petina is there to help him feel bett...

Passion

Continuing my series of anthro MLP statues that serve as monuments to  those who's efforts helped strengthen kingdom and made Equestria and the  world in general a better place to live in. Link, <...

Operator Fidget the Nimbat

Development art for an upcoming patron reward. One of the characters in the piece will be an anthropomorphic Fidget the Nimbat acting as an tactical operator. However before I start on the final piece I want to make sure that I understand what the patron wants for the character's design.

Down in the basement

A patron reward for SpiderWeber. When one goes up into the remote parts of the attic or down the darkest regions of the basement it's often wise to have a companion to go with you. Just in case something comes up and you need their help. However if both you and your companion end up needing assistance at the same time...well good luck.

Shivaree

Further development art for an upcoming patron reward piece. I recently posted some very preliminary drawings for an anaconda naga studies Link. However I felt that I needed to get better understanding of her body markings. 

    Her name Shivaree and here ...

Applebloom Night Court Dress

Some images from my Equestria dreamscape, and yes there will be new postings from it soon. These images are from much more recently but I wanted to get them down on paper so did forget and details.

Luna's Night Court is now firmly reestablished and has a very different and distinctive look and vibe from Celestia's Day Court. Not just in the types of cases and individuals that come to it s...

Spooky Tale

Petina slowly raised her hands as she finished her story.

    "And when the little mouse looked behind the spider was there with its front legs raised. Then it attacked!"

The Good Witch

Another of the drawings I started during my most recent Picarto stream. The theme that evening was Halloween and a while ago I did Princess Luna as a witch. Link So of course I had to eventually draw her b...

Weaving the spell

Another of the drawings I started during my most recent Picarto stream. The theme was Halloween and witches are a very popular topic during the holiday. So here's young witch Twilight Sparkle weaving a spell. 

Come Join Me!

One of the drawings I started during my Halloween Picarto stream.  Rosemary enjoys the holiday and loves dressing up for the occasion, and she really knows how to vamp it up.

After the battle

The shooting has subsided. The mayhem has ended. The operation is over.  Now Ayumi reflects on the events of the day. After so much violence butterflies remind her that life goes on. 

    This piece is why I recently did the tech study art for Link&nb...

Anaconda Naga study.

Some study sketches for an upcoming patron reward. Awhile back I posted some sketches of Green Anaconda snakes. Link This is the related to that. Her name is Shivaree. She's the patron's OC.

She had me, right where I wanted her.

A follow up piece to a recently finished patron reward piece. Link  Vipera Vixen knows the importance of staying tactically flexible and being able to reconsider what were valid victory conditions. This has caught Octavia off guard.

Getting it ready to go

A recently finished client commission for Bass Amperage.  This is OC of similar name the batpony is a very mechanical adept. Here he is servicing a steam tractor. Before there were internal combustion tractors there was steam powered ones. 2023-10-23 16:49:23 +0000 UTC View Post

That was probably the problem

So, along with getting the cold last week I've gotten a sinus infection.  Started an antibiotic treatment today.   

Well I think found the reason for the infection. A moment ago I blew my  my nose and felt something odd suddenly come out. Looking down at the  tissue I spied little dead spider. Petina has checked out for the weekend again.

Cold air, hot barrel

Continuing what's becoming a series of drawings with anthro MLP  characters test firing various late 19th and early 20th century pistols. However along with testing and adopting a new smokeless powder pistol, Equestria is looking into a new service rifle to fire this new smokeless powder. This is one of those cases. Although here the cursory test is being conducted outside Equestria's own ...

Pony goes for a ride

Recently a long time supporter of mine ReCoyote mentioned the idea of my OC Carousel driving a Jeep. So while still bouncing back from the crud today I drew this out. I settled on a 1980s CJ5 for the inspiration of the piece. I decided to have the vehicle in the motion to permit me to blur the wheels and hide parts of the suspension in shadow. 

Blade Mare

A patron reward for McClaw. He wanted Applebloom dressed in a Lolita Goth Link style while kicking back with loyal blade and servant.  In particular McClaw wanted her outfit to be st...

You did so well today!

Fluttershy carefully finished coiling up the leash then grasped it with both hands. With big smile and sparkle in her eyes she spoke. 

   "Um. There! You're all bathed, brushed, and given your uh, treats! You did so well today! I am very pleased with you. So, um your next lesson is in two days. See you then!"

    This is technically a followup...

Under The Weather

This morning I woke up with a sore throat and a lot of head congestion. Unfortunately as the day has progressed it's only gotten worse to the point where I can barely speak. Yes I tested and it came up negative.

       However this means that I'm cancelling my Pica...
