Gilda tapped the edge of her knife on the bottom of her bill. Behind her was a large, open cardboard box that had been sent to the griffin by Ponyville's finest fashionista. Gilda was now wearing the contents of the package and was admiring herself in a full length mirror. Slowly she turns back and forth admiring how snug black leather outfit flattered her figure. After a couple of minute...

One of the drawings from my most recent Picarto streams. Theme that evening was the zodiac animals of the Lunar New Year. Well the goat is one those animals, and I've never drawn a picture of Grogar/Discord in disguise from Friendship is Magic. So I decided to fix that fact. Here he is with his much cov...

Baron's Art Tips. Don't mentally view an image from just one angle, consider your possibilities. With any picture there's almost more than one viewpoint that you can decide to go with.
Yesterday I posted some costume designs for a Celestia motorcycle piece.
Recently I posted some development drawings for an upcoming commission. Link The client was generally happy with the overall design but wanted me to lighten the area around the stallion's eyes. (Ah misunderstanding of instructions on my part.) So I did a quick head study to confirm t...

This was the first drawing I started during my most recent Picarto stream. The theme was the Lunar New Year and zodiac animals associated with it. 2022 is the year of the Tiger so I had to draw one, but I decided to take a stab at drawing a character who I haven't drawn in almost 30 years. Shere Khan from the...

At the main entrance of the Ponyville's historical Farmers Market there stands a statue that was created to honor one of the Mane Six, and one of the most important families in the history of Ponyville. The Apple family.
Applejack is in many way the iconic example of what makes earth ponies such an important part of Equestrian society. She radiated an a...

Often the mark of a true professional is not how well they perform when everything goes right, but how well they perform when everything goes wrong. Coco Pommel illustrated that fact a while ago in my Royal Equestria Security Force, RESF, dreamscape.

Still levitating Free n' Clear along with the basket of cookies the filly had brought with her; Celestia stepped back into the bungalow, and then quietly closed the front door in my Equestria dreamscape. Through all of this the filly remained motionless and silent. Upon securing the door the princess looked over at the unexpected guest. 2022-01-27 23:56:51 +0000 UTC View Post
I've got another Star Wars themed piece coming up. It's an anthro piece so I needed to come up with some stormtrooper armor for the piece. The patron has given me some wide latitude in the design, but I need to know where I'll be going with the piece. So I did these design sketches this afternoon.
Baron's Art Tips. Even if you are absolutely certain that the image in your head is the one you're going to use for a finished piece of art, it never hurts to consider other possible options.

A moment from my Anthro MLP dreamscape. Celestia's golden light spilled into the bedroom, heralding the arrival of another day. Discord stirred as he felt his wife awaking from her evening slumber. As was fairly typical Fluttershy was draped across the long torso of the draconequus.
The Lord of Chaos was most certainly not a morning person, but he enjoy...

It was a beautiful Sunday morning in my Equestria dreamscape. Free n' Clear's smiled as she clenched the handle of a cloth basket between her teeth and trotted to her destination. Until recently she rarely strayed over to this part of town, but since she'd met the mare Heartbreaker that had changed.
A tingling sensation in Celestia's horn roused the princess from her slumber in my Equestria dreamscape.
It was a feeling she was very familiar with; she'd felt it for over a thousand years. It was the magical connection to the celestial body that was the physical symbol of her office. It was reminding her that she needed to oversee the raising of the morning...
