Big Mac, John Canter of Mares 01
More development art for the series of pictures I want to do that I will label under the "John Canter of Mares" series. The first piece I want to do feature Big Macintosh as the reluctant earthpony barbarian warrior and Miss Cheerilee battling diamond dogs. Classic loincloth barbarian stuff....

Big Spike!
If I am about to start on a finished color piece and if it involves a character, location, critter, effect, or piece of technology I've not drawn before I consider it prudent to do a few study sketches/drawings first. This is an example of some of those drawings. A stalled project that I want to...
Snow Muffin
I want to thank everyone of tuned into Dusty's Christmas Eve stream last night! I also want to thank everyone who donated to Second Harvest Food Bank last night. Dusty was able to raise way more than the target goal for the evening. Dusty and I will be doing a New Years Eve stream Dec 31st on my...
They grind more than flour at the mill
The knock on the front door of our cottage repeated itself in my Equestria dreamscape. For an instant I considered ignoring it but decided it would better if I got it before any of the mares woke Full House from it. Reluctantly I opened the door. I found Cogs standing there on threshold stone of ou...
Antagonist
Before I go any further I want to thank everyone who tuned in for last night's stream. We had our largest audience yet! Next one will be January 3rd!. This is a study sketch from my Equestria dreamscape,and it is for a dream arc that is coming up really soon. Without giving away too much of t...
Winter Apples
I did this piece a while ago but since it was a gift for someone I have waited until the client gave me the green light to post it. It also seems very appropriate since I will be doing a colored pencil demo tonight on Picarto!
Colored Pencil demo 5:30pm PST
Today, starting at 5:30pm PST I will be streaming again on Picarto if you've ever wondered how I create such pieces as Commission. My Former Home or Reaperbloom color or even Lionel Christmas tune it find out as I do my first ever colored pencil demonstration stream. I will be working final vers...
Full House
I awoke, very groggy in my Equestria dreamscape. Within a few seconds I started to regret having drunk so much the night before. I’ve had worse hangovers but this was very unpleasant. I was lying in bed on my left side. By how bright it was in the room it must have been about eight in the morning...
Suppressed mouse firearm
Geez! I thought I had posted this years ago! Mice and rats present some really neat, and at the same time maddening, bits of world building and tech design for my Andur and variants of my Angel and Knight dreamscapes. Having sentient, bipedal individuals who range in size from 7.5" to 12.5...
Queen Chrysalis color study
Testing out possible methods for doing some of the interior illustrations for the Roan RPG. One idea was to use colored paper as the working surface and doing my colored pencil technique on top of that. This was part of the for doing the Sombra 6hr color posted a few days ago. So Sunday I gave it an...
With the ones we care about
Okay so I've done something in the Holiday theme that was a bit racy Special little gift so now let's have something a bit more sweet with a high Awwww! rating to it. I also did this piece to test whether the paper I have been using for most of my graphite pencil work was also suitable for ...
Special little gift
This time of the year can be rather hectic, and sometimes it is nice to get a little something to take your mind off the frantic pace of the Holiday season. Well don't fear Petina is here to help with that problem.
Sombra
This is a 6 hour experimental piece that I did today. The media is my usual colored pencil, however the piece was done on black paper which gives it a different feel and required me to tackle the piece differently. I worked very loosely and quickly. I only worried about blocking in broad areas of co...
Previews
It was another fine evening in my Equestria dreamscape, and as usual Petina and Carousel were at the Bucking Mare tavern doing their weekly performance. Along with myself the regular crowd of was gathered to whoop it up and enjoy the evening. Although the Best Young Fliers Competition was only a fe...
Back home for a bit
So after four amazing days in Canterlot my household boarded the train back to Ponyville in my Equestria dreamscape. Service to the Crown Day had been an amazing experience but now our focus was on another important upcoming event, the Best Young Fliers Competition. The competition was less than a w...
A meeting of the minds
The crowd of ponies who had gathered at Promontory Park to see Celestia and Luna perform their vows of office was beginning to disperse in my Equestria dreamscape. Couples, families and groups of friends began to leave the park and either to go home or head off to parties or other gatherings happeni...
November 2015 patron supported
Thank you so much for the support this month!
She sang to the Moon
Service to the Crown Day was drawing to a close in my Equestria dreamscape. The day had been filled with memorable moments and amazing stories. We had reservations for dinner later in the evening, but there was one more event that we had been told we had to attend. The Royal Sisters connection t...
One last thing to attend
Captain Solid Shot story of that fateful night at Fort Shield had come to a close in my Equestria dreamscape. Many a pony hung around to thank the Captain and all the soldiers present for what they had done in the defense of the realm. As I turned to try and find out where Carousel and Petina had wa...
Work and Play
So for one of my patrons Sonny Starbrite I did a sketch of Derpy pulling a toboggan full of Holiday mail and gifts for his November reward. One my other patrons R.W. Barton saw the sketch and asked if I'd do another sketch of Derpy with same toboggan but this time she's riding it down a hill...
Was there ever any doubt?
Was there? Really? Earlier today I hit a bit of a mental brick wall while working on tech design for the Roan RPG. Well instead of beating my head senselessly against it I decided to shift gears and do a bit more anthro MLP character studies. As I expected Petina was more and happy to show me again ...
Streaming this Sunday November 22nd.
Once again I will be streaming this Sunday November 22nd starting 5:30pm PST. Picarto The bar will open for Daiquiris soon after. So get yourself a cold one, or maybe a warm one considering the time of year, and join us for an evening of art, stories and friendly discussion. Last time we had our lar...
Experimental Dreyse M1855 Cavalry rifle
Doing more research into making firearms for ponies. Particularly for the Roan RPG. Beyond my General Education in college, history was not required for my degree. However since I was studying illustration and was hoping to do historical illustration I took far more history classes than were require...
RMB-93 12ga shotgun
As part of my research related to my concept art for the Roan RPG, I have been exploring various firearm designs from our world looking for interesting designs that will give the Roan universe its own signature look and feel. One thing that Robert wants for the world is a feeling that the ponies hav...
Big shoes for Big Mac!
Some study sketches I did for an upcoming commission involving an anthro Big Mac. The client had questions about how boots would work with hoofs, and since I plan on doing some anthro work in the future that involves folks with hoofs I decided to give it a bit more thought and consideration.
The Crystal Empire
I once heard someone say that Canterlot was made of nothing but Penrose Triangles link and wishful thinking. That maybe true but it at least stays more on model! I have a commission working its way through my queue and the most important architectural element in the picture will be the palace of the...
Stream this Sunday Nov 8th 5:30pm PST
I have held off making this announcement until I was certain I had beaten this cold/flu/crud into submission. Well this morning I felt more or less human again so its time to move on. This Sunday at 5:30pm PST I'll be streaming commercial-free from Picarto again! link I hope you can join me thi...
I has been sick
Tuesday morning I woke to discover I had a sore throat. Usually this means I had been snoring in my sleep, which I will sometimes do. So I didn't worry about much and went about my business in the studio. However as the day wore on I found that my sore throat was getting worse and worse and in s...
Medieval helmets
I have an upcoming Equestria dreamscape posting that has some ponies wearing some rather sinister looking sets of armor. To get myself in the mood for doing the art for that posting I decided to do some rather quick sketches this afternoon of various Medieval European helmets. In particular I was in...
