If you've tried to get in touch with me recently

Hello there. You may have noticed that I haven't posted much over the last few days. This due to several reasons:

1. For folks outside the United States taxes are due this week and we've been getting those finalized on our end.

2. I have been finishing final commissions that I will be delivering at BABSCon this we...

Reviewing the Routine

A patron reward for Dusty_Katt. He'll be taking this to BABSCon this week to have Ashleigh Ball autograph it. The one thing that was nice see to happen was Rainbow Dash becoming a Wonderbolt and the maturity she had to do develop to be...

Horseshoes

A patron reward for ColdSilverD. He'll be getting it autographed by Ashleigh Ball at BABSCon next week. He wanted both RD and AJ in the picture, so I thought it would be fun to harkening back to them throwing horseshoes at the beginning ...

Old Black Willow study

Huh. I just realized I never posted this even though I drew awhile ago. Well I figured I'd post this before I turned in for the night. This is from my Equestria dreamscape. The creature is called Old Black Willow, and in the future Applebloom will have to deal with in the Dream Realm. That's all. Good night.

Make Over

When Two Tone was later asked what she thought of her spa day with Chrysalis/Glimmering Gems in my Royal Equestria Security Forces (RESF) dreamscape she described it as being a whirlwind of activity.

True to her word her majesty sent a driver over to pick the zebra up at 9am. Not 8:55 or 9:02. Nope at exactly 9am the do...

School Project

Sweetie Belle carefully levitated more charcoal into hearth and positioned on the already burning fire. The filly smiled as the new fuel ignited. The unicorn didn't know why but a crackling fire always made her happy.

    Scootaloo watched as the distillates collected. The fillies had experienced so...

Here's looking at you kid

Another of the drawings I started during my most recent Picarto stream. The theme was Noir/Hard-Boiled. I was introduced to the concept as a kid watching films like the Maltese Falcon, Casablanca, and the Big Sleep. The leading actor in all these films...

Ivy Pepper

The first drawing I started and more or less finished during recent Picarto stream. The theme was Noir/Hard-Boiled, and nothing embraces that genre like the Prohibition Era of the US, and that's exactly the era that Lackadaisy takes place. One of the c...

Rat-tat-tat!

Out of the corner of her eye Octavia spied in the darkness a fedora adorned shadow slowly rise up from behind the Pierce-Arrow. As the threatening silhouette brought a shotgun shaped shadow to its shoulder the mare swung her submachine gun around and fired a quick burst.

     Rat-tat-tat!

Sea Turtles and Pancakes

For the rest of their REM sleep Princess Luna made sure the foals had a safe but fun experience in my Equestria dreamscape. Therefore the princess made sure the foals encountered the more benign inhabitants of the Sea of Dreams.

     This didn't mean that foals experience was boring. Far from it...

Nimbat study sketches

I have a patron reward piece coming up for Skyline that's going to have a Nimbat in it, but the character has been very uncooperative in my head, so to help me better understand the character I did these sketches of them. They're ju...

Afternoon Break

Fluttershy sat up and then slowly stretched both her arms above her head while spreading her wings. It was a beautiful early summer day and the mare was between classes, and after a light lunch she'd decided to enjoy the sun. So after a quick change into a bikini the chiffon yellow mare had grabbed a towel and gone out and la...

Tonight's Entertainment

The final piece from my recent Old West themed Picarto stream. I could see my muse, in any of her forms, as one of those Old West saloon girls.

BABSCon 2025 Vendor Hall Map

For everyone who might be attending BABSCon 2025 they've posted the Vendor Map. I will be at Table H12. So if you're going drop by and say hi!

Take Out

The old zebra stallion pulled the sandwich off the grill and in one quick motion placed it on a sheet of white paper. In my Royal Equestria Security Forces (RESF) dreamscape. Then in a blur of speed that came from doing this task thousands of times he wrapped it up. Picking up a knife he sliced the paper and sandwich diagonal...

It gits hot in Apploosa

"Well golly! I don't know if y'all know it, but it gits hot in Apploosa. So don't ferget ta dress fer it!"

    Another of the drawings I started during my Old West themed Picarto stream. During the stream there had been discu...

You have a choice

Boom! chichak. Boom! chichak. Two of the assailants who had attempted to waylay Tempest Shadow slowly collapsed to the ground. Their drawn weapons tumbling from their now lifeless hands.

     The unicorn looked at third member who stood there frozen in place. His weapon still in his holster as h...

2025 Thumbnail sketch dump 01

It's been a few months since I've posted a collection of assorted thumbnail sketches. These are critical in my creation process since they help me sort out various design elements before starting on a finished piece.

      Some of these I've already done as finished pieces. Others are for p...

Cheese Sandwich

Another piece that I started during my recent Old West themed Picarto stream. Because my , and many of my followers, interest in MLP-FiM I couldn't do the stream without drawing Cheese Sandwich at least once. 2025-03-25 19:29:27 +0000 UTC View Post

Spaghetti Western

There was 4 individuals in the hotel dining room. One was a seated griffin and the other 3 were pegasus stallions who were standing a few feet away in front of the griffin who was in the process of tucking a napkin into the collar of their white linen shirt. The hotel wait staff had retreated back into the kitchen. Somewhere ...

The Creator reference sketches

A patron reward for Meganought. This is their naga-like character that goes by the name of The Creator. You'll be seeing more of them in the future.

Riding off into the sunset

The first drawing I started during my recent Wild West themed Picarto stream. Now I don't consider myself a very good portrait artist. In fact I think I'm quite poor at it, but I believe it's good to push yourself outside your comfort zone once an...

Shooter and Spotter

Fluttershy closed her eyes and took a slow deep breath. She held it for a second then slowly let it out. Opening her eyes she smiled and took in the beautiful forest valley before her. It was a glorious springtime day and the weather was perfect. Crystal clear and just a bit on the cool side with a slight, steady breeze blowi...
