That evening while I was working to improve relations with a certain member of Scratch's troupe Peace talks in my Equestria dreamscape, Amethyst Dream Grace Under Pressure was looking to get better acquainted with Petina. However she didn't mean to get roped into some carnal team-building exercise with Scratch and other members o...

Sandbar laid naked on his dorm bed. The summer afternoon breezes cause the thin white curtains to sway and ripple. It was one of those oppressively hot, late summer days, and just like clockwork the dormitory environmental control wards were on the fritz again. Thus the desperate measures to remain comfortable.
So after his swim team practice the earth pony had showered and retreated back to his room. Later tonight he had a life drawing class that he would be modeling for. Initially Yona had been les...

Any equipment malfunction while in flight can have grave consequences. So it's important to perform a thorough inspection before one goes aloft, and sometimes it doesn't hurt to have another pair of eyes along to confirm that nothing is missed during the inspection.
Rainbow Dash appears to be performing a final check.

A patron reward. The character's name is Tchirajh and she's a cyborg. When I work on a piece like this I like to have an idea in my head what the character doing, and where exactly are they anyways?
So as I was working up this piece I had an idea pop into my head. This place is called Centaur Station. It's part of a series of space stations/habitats. All of them are named after mythical creatures with names that start with the letter C. So Centaur, Chimera, Cockatrice, and Cyclops would be exam...

Keyboard gave me a cold stare from across the table in my Equestria dreamscape. This little peace talk had been arranged by Scarlet Tips. Keyboard's marefriend and fellow member of Scratch's troupe.
It was after 10pm and we were sitting on cushions around a large, low table in one of the outlying cottages on the grounds of the Silver Mirror estate. The cottage had been converted into a small conference room. A small pitcher of iced tea along with cups, sugar cubes, lemon slices, and a tray of lemon c...

Mayor Mare slowly strolled up the mostly empty beach and out of the late afternoon surf. The sun was dipping toward horizon turning the sea the color of liquid gold while the sky was starting to glow with pinks and orange.
At the edge of the surf the earth pony sat down and admired the spectacle as the waves gently washed and splashed on and around her. It felt good to be out of the office. She was proud to be the mayor of Ponyville and every day she tried to do the best for her community.

Continuing my Bottled Six series of anthro MLP ponies/genies in bottle. Can I come out and play? This time it's Twilight Sparkle. Originally I'd envisioned the Princess of Friendship in a fairly traditional bottle, but considering her nerdy, scientific background I could see Twi preferring a Klein-style bottle instead.

We had an electrician in today working in the kitchen which is next to the studio. So in the interest of social distancing I worked out in the living room on thumbnails, concept roughs, and little things I could easily on a drawing board.

A librarian's job can often start well before library opens and run quite some time after it closes for the day. Inventory that has wandered needs to be returned to its correct place. Transfers and returns need to be processed. And sometimes inter-dimensional aberrations of chaos need to be dealt with.

This a piece I did for David Bliss. The character's name is Faun Miller. If this piece taught me anything it's that there's always something that you've never tackled before and there's always something new to learn how to do. In this case it was all the lace in that semi-translucent dress. I had to make numerous study/test pieces to finally get a good result. The piece was done in a mixed media of colored pencil, marker pen, technical pen, ...

A moment from my anthro MLP dreamscape. The brown bear slowly sauntered down the forest trail bringing its rider closer to you. Coming up to stop alongside you Fluttershy looks down from the back of Harry the Bear. She smiles at you and shifts slightly on the back of the bear. Gently she digs her thigh-high, black leather into the bear's thick brown fur. After a second she speaks up.
"Um, hello. Do you need help? My name is Fluttershy. You uh, may not realize it but I'm, um, good with ani...
