This Saturday 12/26/20 starting at 5:30pm Pacific I'll be streaming on Picarto. This will be my final stream for 2020.
Also due to do the ongoing health crisis I will be streaming again from own studio. Not Caerdwyn's studio setup. So this stream will be an all digital art. So join me for an evening of art, stories, and D&D report as we show 2020 the door and ask it to not come back! See you there.

Sandbar stared at nopony in particular as he sat still under the studio lights of the life drawing class. He'd been modeling for the art class several times a semester, and he appreciated the bits he got as tips for doing it.
Actually sitting perfectly still for an extended period of time was harder than most ponies thought. Even if a pony intended to be still they would involuntarily shift, move, change, and shift their weight as they sat there. So one had to be constantly aware of this fact as they held their ...

Patron reward for Richard Westberry. Now Richard is a huge fan of blackpowder so I've drawn his European badger OC as a musketeer from the time of the English Civil War.
Compared to modern firearms the matchlock musket that the badger is holding is a rather primitive affair. However the manual of arms required to keep it operating in the field was complex. The weapon is a muzzleloader meaning that powder...

Something that I've dealt with for years is migraine headaches. Often I've been able to dull the worst of their effects, but early Wednesday afternoon I was hit with one of the most horrific migraines I've ever had. The next 12+ hours we're agony and got almost no sleep. It subsided the next day but I was utterly drained physically and mentally.
Applebloom's possession by Deception is a perfect visual description of the pain from a migraine headache. The sheer pain, dizziness, nausea, blurred vision, and the roaring h...

From the same anthro MLP dreamscape dream that Her last resort is from.
Octavia took a sip of her sparkling mineral water while her gaze continuously sweep the ballroom. The string quartet was taking a break between sets.
A few minutes ago her RESF superior officer had left the ballroom and begun her part of tonight's operation. Octavia's job was to keep watch ...

Cheeshee the kobold trotted over to Cedric who is now lying face down motionless in the road. The cerva had recently taken a large rock thrown by a hill giant in the face. The blow had set him sliding face first along dirt road. Digging a burrow with his face. Taking the end of her walking stick/arcane focus the divine soul sorcerer pokes Cedric.
"Hey! Hey! You okay?"
A moment from the 5th Edition D&D I'm playing in. Cedric is my Horizon Walker/Warlock and Chesshee is an NPC in ...

This is the final drawing I started during my most recent Picarto stream. It's also a patron reward for Octavia Melody.
It's the Holiday season, and a common question on many minds is what to get for friends, families, and loved ones. Octavia is one of those individuals, and she's asked Petina for advice on what kind of gift she should get for Vinyl S...

One of the drawings I started during last night's Picarto stream. It's Michiru from the animated series Brand New Animal. This is the first time I've drawn the character. So it was an interesting challenge. Especially tackling it live during a stream.

Another dream from an alternate universe in my anthro MLP dreamscape. It was set after the war against the Realm of Shadows, but it still dealt with the activities of the Royal Equestria Security Forces. Commonly referred to as the RESF.
"I hate to break the news to you darling, but that dress isn't avant-garde. It's avant-gross!"
The crowd of ponies gathered around Rarity laughed as the unicorn delivered the punchline of her story. The fashionista smiled and took a sip ...

Development artwork for an upcoming commission. It's going to be a Kung Fu Panda piece. Now I haven't really done much art related to this property, and the client wanted Master Tigress to be a bit more anthro in nature. So I did these sketches to get myself up to speed with the characters that will appear in the piece.

Patron reward for Nicole Sunstone. The character's is Nicole's OC and her name is Sapphire Crystal or Sapphi. This character was an interesting challenge for me because the character reference I had was done in style very different than mine. Very cartoony. It looked great, but I did have to stare at it for awhile until I felt I could extract the important visual features that made the character identifiable.

I recently came across some photos of a lady wearing a very elaborate pleated and padded leather jacket, bikini bottom, and leather garter belt. The moment I saw them I imagined a grownup, anthro Scootaloo from Flying Fingers wearing it. It wouldn't be something she'd wear everyday, but I thought she might wear to some music award festival or similar type of event.

A recently completed commission. This is a dragon inspired variant of Angela from the video game Trials of Mana. It is interesting how video games, especially Japanese video games, have their own design aesthetics when it comes to fashion.

The 1st drawing I started during my 2020 Holiday Picarto Fundraiser Stream. It's not the Holidays unless I do a Rosemary piece. She's one of my muses, and when winter comes she doesn't mind the cooler temperatures. Having a nice, thick coat can be an advantage at times.

Note. To the best of my knowledge this is not based on any existing Fallout Equestria storyline, nor does it follow any particular plot in Fallout 4. This is just the narrative that popped into my head as I worked on this piece.

Another moment from the anthro, MLP, sword and sorcery fantasy dream I had earlier in the year. Also before anyone asks this piece is claimed.
The clock in the marketplace chimed 2am although most of the town's inhabitants didn't hear it. Still the great chimes and bells did their duty as they rang and droned. Their sounds drowned out the sharp click that came from one of the palazzo's clerestory windows. A couple seconds later it swung into the unlit room. The silhouette of a head peered in. A fe...
