A commission that I got the sign off on late last night. The pegasus mare is Ice Shiver and the unicorn mare is Candle Flare.
An important thing to remember when doing art is that every piece is a series of decisions and choices where certain aspects are given priority, and other elements are compromised to achieve specific goals. While working on th...

This happened last night in my Equestria dreamscape and it was a rather amusing moment so I decided to draw it today so I didn't forget some detail from it. Besides I figured folks would get a chuckle.
The barrier separating the Dream Realm from the lower Dark Realms tore open as the eldritch monstrosity threw itself into the realm of dreams. It's ...

Study sketches for a commission. I have only drawn Nightmare Moon a couple of times and since this will be a color piece I want to be certain myself and the client are on the same page of the book. Also for this commission Nightmare Moon will not be grumpy, angry, angsty self. Instead she's suppose to have a more calm, relaxed demeanor to her so I want to make s...

Another scene moment from the anthro MLP/dream that Petina and I watched in the Staging Area of my dreamscape one night. To defeat the invaders from the Realm of Shadows most ponies did something to help drive back the enemy. This help to many forms. Sometimes it meant hunting down ponies who were willing to betray their own to the enemy.
Red Tail watched...
The final drawing from last night's Picarto stream was a B/W request. Someone proposed Octavia as hula dancer and I had this image pop into my head. So that's what I went with.

Princess Celestia smiled as she laid out the paperwork in front of her in my Equestria dreamscape. Even reading the Annual Canterlot City Public Works Audit couldn't dampen the smile on her face. Today was a beautiful day and since she had no court or formal meetings scheduled she had decided to work out in the main garden. So with that plan she'd set out on her expedition.

Bloodfeather finished preening the primary feathers in her right wing in my Equestria dreamscape. She paused to admire how her crimson feathers shimmered in the light. They glistened like beautifully lacquered wood.
Turning her head she looked at herself in the large mirror attached to her vanity table she was sitting in front of. Slipping a brush onto a front hoof she sta...
