Afternoon Breeze

Afternoon Breeze

Sandbar laid naked on his dorm bed. The summer afternoon breezes cause the thin white curtains to sway and ripple. It was one of those oppressively hot, late summer days, and just like clockwork the dormitory environmental control wards were on the fritz again. Thus the desperate measures to remain comfortable. 

     So after his swim team practice the earth ...

Pre-Flight Inspection

Pre-Flight Inspection

Any equipment malfunction while in flight can have grave consequences. So it's important to perform a thorough inspection before one goes aloft, and sometimes it doesn't hurt to have another pair of eyes along to confirm that nothing is missed during the inspection.

     Rainbow Dash appears to be performing a final check.

Centaur Station

Centaur Station

A patron reward. The character's name is Tchirajh and she's a cyborg. When I work on a piece like this I like to have an idea in my head what the character doing, and where exactly are they anyways?

    So as I was working up this piece I had an idea pop into my head. This place is called Centaur Station. It's part of a series of space stations/habita...

Out of the office

Out of the office

Mayor Mare slowly strolled up the mostly empty beach and out of the late afternoon surf. The sun was dipping toward horizon turning the sea the color of liquid gold while the sky was starting to glow with pinks and orange. 

    At the edge of the surf the earth pony sat down and admired the spectacle as the waves gently washed and splashed on and around her. It fe...

Good first impression

Good first impression

We had an electrician in today working in the kitchen which is next to the studio. So in the interest of social distancing I worked out in the living room on thumbnails, concept roughs, and little things I could easily on a drawing board. Also things I could put down quickly so I could answer questions from the electrician. Amongst various things I scratched this out.

After Hours in the Reference Section

This is a piece I finished a while ago but had to sit on releasing it until after someone's birthday which has now happened.

      A librarian's job can often start well before library opens and run quite some time after it closes for the day. Inventory that has wandered needs to be returned to its correct place. Transfers and returns need to be processed. An...

 Stone Mane laid on his back in bed and stared up at his bedroom ceiling in my Equestria dreamscape. It was after 10pm and he had school tomorrow but his heart was racing.

Do you need help?

A moment from my anthro MLP dreamscape. The brown bear slowly sauntered down the forest trail bringing its rider closer to you. Coming up to stop alongside you Fluttershy looks down from the back of Harry the Bear. She smiles at you and shifts slightly on the back of the bear.  Gently she digs her thigh-high, black leather into the bear's thick brown fur. After a second she speaks up. ...
