When I was growing up the Labor Day Weekend was viewed by myself and my classmates as the end of summer because school started after it. Never mind what the calendar the said. If we had to be back in school summer was over for us.
Tomorrow is considered the start of Labor Day Weekend here in the US. So Friday 8/31/18 starting at 5:30...

My reward for getting my chores done. Recently I as result of some anthro MLP dreams I've had the concept of doing anime/manga themed pony art popping into my head. Well here's one of the results I quickly scratched out late this afternoon.
In a way I could see Rarity finding cosplaying to be an interesting pastime and possibly a profitable one as well. And i...

Note. I had this dream back in Season Two or Three before the custom of Hearth's Warming Eve Dolls had been established in the show.
Applebloom trotted toward Carousel Boutique in my Equestria dreamscape. Strapped to her back was a flat parcel wrapped in cloth. She'd just picked up the photograph of her from the studio and wanted to show Ponyvi...
I posted some sketches of roosters today, In that posting I had commented that these studies were an upcoming piece. Well here are some more development sketches for it.
The Cockatrice like many mythical beings has a somewhat convoluted history to it. Sometimes it's referred to as a Basilisk, or is claimed to be related to it. A Cockatrice is supposedly ...

Although my family at one point kept a flock of chickens I have only drawn a handful of them over the years. At the time we had them I was more interested in drawing aircraft and cars. However I have an upcoming piece that requires me to be a bit more familiar with them. In particular the rooster as its often referred to in the in US. Everywhere else in the world they ...

The third patron reward from my last Picarto stream. This is for RebelSqurl. The characters are his OC's. The one in the mask is Jennifer Sherwood and the seated wolf is Natalya. She's not villain so much as an antagonist with her own agenda. Sometimes they are same as Jennifer's. Other times...

An image from a recent dream of anthro Fluttershy spendin time with her animal friends in the meadow nearby her cottage. In the dream Harry the Bear offered her a ride so the mare sat on his back as he ambled around the woods. Also it appears that my subconscious has decided that the bullwhip is a regular part of Flutters gear now. 2018-08-22 18:23:12 +0000 UTC View Post
The next couple of hours were a blur for Applebloom in my Equestria dreamscape as the filly tried on one fashion ensemble after another until she finally finding the dress she liked. Simple, but with some style to it. The perfect dress for a farm filly to get herself photographed in. Look my best 2018-08-21 01:34:14 +0000 UTC View Post

Applebloom's clenched her eyes closed as front of her skull split open just above her eyes. It made a sound like snapping watermelon rind. Stone Mane stepped back in horror and Luna winced at the sound. Blood began to pour down the filly's face; from under her deep rose bangs a long black tendril began to twist and extend from her forehead. The earth pony's skul...

The imagination can work in amusing ways. When I posted Combined Bunny Octavia's image yesterday one of my watchers on DA commented that Octavia was "an absolute bombshell." My reply was that I suddenly imagined Vinyl Scratch wearing t-shirt that said Bomb Squad.

It's time for a little celebration! This morning I got my 6000th watcher on Deviant Art. As is typical of such milestones Petina has arranged a little celebration by bringing back a veteran many such milestones Fluttershy, and bringing on a new member onboard. Applejack.

A leftover Bronycon commission I finished yesterday. As I was composing the piece this little story popped into my head.
Rarity patiently sat in her chair and waited for her partner to come in the room. A minute or so later she heard sound of approaching hoof steps on the hardwood floor. They stopped just short of the doorway. After a f...

Another patron reward this time Sura-Resch. Continuing his series of ladies trying to stay cool in the summer heat. This time it's my OC Jessica Knight from the Angel and Knight dreamscapes. Unlike many parts of the US, California rarely gets rain in the coastal regions. So when it happens it's an unusual event. Jessica seems to be enjoying it at the moment.
