The final drawing that started during my most recent Picarto stream. Another piece done to celebrate MerMay 2021. Octavia could be a classic siren if she was so inclined. Tempting ponies to their doom with music and songs. Fortunately she seems to use her talents in a more positive fashion.

She protects the reefs and coves. She watches for dangers emerging of darkest depths, and from perils above the waves. She lives to nurture and oceans around her.
One of drawings I started during last night's Picarto stream. It was an all mermaid stream in celebration of MerMay 2021. It was a request for Autumn Blaze as a mermaid. Since kirins have lion-like manes I imagined her as a lionfish.

"I just want to give you a big hug!" Continuing my series of anthro MLP mermaids in celebration of MerMay 2021 it's Tempest Shadow. With her tendency for arcing and sparking energy from her damaged horn it was easy for me to see her as a mermaid inspired by an electric eel.

Today I hit another milestone with my 8000th follower on Deviant Art. Back when I hit 7000 followers Petina recruited Carousel to help her with the celebration. At that time Petina promised to something special for her as a reward. Latex and buggy whips. Well has Petina kept her word with this piece.

The chiffon yellow mermaid comes to a stop about 15ft from you, for several seconds she just stares at you and smiles. Then she addresses you.
"Oh! Um, hello. Welcome to the cove. I haven't seen you here before! Um, what's your name?"

One of the drawing I started during my most recent Picarto stream. The theme of that stream was Star Wars. This was a request from the audience to draw my villainous space pirate Vipera Vixen as being in the Imperial Forces.
So the idea popped into my head to draw as a TIE fighter pilot. This Saturday 5/15/21 starting at 5:30pm Pacific I'll be streaming again on 2021-05-11 23:47:40 +0000 UTC View Post
A patron reward for Frank Oldread. He's rather fond of the girls from my all mouse girl band Move to the Music! And in particular the lead singer Melody Atherton. He's also kind of fond of genies and girls did have an album called A Little Bit of Magic. So it's kind of natural combination.

I've been meaning to do some more drawings of human Petina for awhile. Well this afternoon I finally got around to it. The pixie cut hair style enhances her rather impish nature.

A moment from my anthro MLP dreamscape. After a long, strenuous, hot summer day of teaching outdoor classes a sudden afternoon rain shower can be very enjoyable and soothing. That's exactly what Fluttershy is enjoying right now.
This drawing is based off a sketch I posted awhile ago. Fluttershy Thumbnails 01

I wanted to post this first on Patreon but it was having issues yesterday and it wouldn't let me upload the image? This is a patron reward for J. McDermott. The character's name is Tamirth and she's a Miqo'te red mage in Final Fantasy XIV. Each of the classes generally has very distinctive garb and gear.

"Oh! Who's been a good boy? It's you! Yes you are! Yes you are!"
One of the drawings I started during my recent Star Wars themed Picarto stream. I think Fluttershy would figure out how to keep a Rancor under control and she does look good in the Leia's Return of the Jedi slave outfit.

During one of my earliest Picarto streams I did a sketch of my main muse Petina as a Jedi. complete with light saber and everything.
Well since tonight's stream is going to Star Wars themed I figured I'd post that image on Twitter, etc. Much to my surprise I couldn't find any image files of the piece, and upon searching my physical archives I couldn't find it either. Oops!

One of the things that can be tricky when I'm taking requests during my Picarto streams is not finding a good idea to draw, but triaging the flood of ideas to find the ones I think I can get a drawing laid out adequately in one hour. So often many good ideas get left behind.
The theme of my most recent stream was Anime/ MLP/ Equestria Girls. One of the requests was to have Sunset Shimmer cosplaying. The idea sounde...

A patron reward for Ookami88. This is one of two pieces I'm doing for him. If you're curious about the narrow format of the piece, that's because there are plans to combine a digital color SFW version of this along with a similar SFW Fluttershy piece for a future project.

From a dream in one of my Anthro MLP dreamscape variants. In this variant Rarity along with her parents and sibling are a family of genies. Most genies in this setting are individuals with free will and agency; they will hire out their services and powers to individuals, companies, institutions, and national interests.
These beings will sign into contracts that define the duration of their service. What kind of services they will offer, and maybe even more important what the genie will not do. ...
