Greenfinger did an art stream today and spontaneously decided to draw Gadget in his typical style. That is, as a young child. (Outside of his pony work, most of his characters are children, as one of his ambitions in life is to be a children's book author.) Even I didn't know he was going to do this and I just caught the tail end of his stream, but I thought I'd share some adorableness with you guys. Check below the break for it!
That Rarity art I did the other day? I started coloring it. I did base colors, lighting, and shadows for Rares. I haven't decided on her background yet (whether I'll actually draw a scene or just do something simple/abstract). I could use some feedback though... (image after the jump)
It was a bit delayed, but, courtesty of my pal and illustrator Greenfinger, "The Hearth's Warming Filly" now has a cover! It's Shining Armor walking Misty Blue home!
As the title says, this post will be about the art of “The Iron Horse: Human After All” done by Greenfinger, my illustrator. Take a look!
Did a new story cover by mouse of all things. Since I couldn't find my tablet pen, I just got stubborn and took a photograph to trace. I only used it for the body pose and the clothing lines, then I started to deviate. The hair, the shirt design, the accessories, and the face are original. Drawing with mouse is FREAKING HARD. My cover looks janky up close, but at least it looks somewhat all right as a thumbnail!
whew. okay, so a couple days away from the issue has left me feeling a lot better. tomorrow I might even start writing again! or at least, thinking about it.
in the meantime, I finished up a minor project that is somewhat related to the story. remember the picture I drew of cadence in her tantabus armor? I put that image into the GIMP editor and re-traced the lines, then filled it in with new colors, and it looks awesome! here, see:
Yes, I'm slowly still gathering art for a future print edition of Looking Glass. This endeavor has gone on much longer than expected due to limited funds and picking up an expensive hobby along the way, but it's still happening. I actually just got a new job which is actually for once going well for me, so maybe I can pick up the pace soon. But anyway, today we have five-year-old Sunset with Rose Petal, courtesy of Coiris!
Worked more on the sketch from this morning. Hate the colors. Screwed up inking some of the lines. Overall, kinda bummed...
So, more illustration stuff here! Green did a redesign on Gadget as she appeared back in Chapter 2, this time in full color. As he's gotten better at drawing ponies and Gadget in particular, he's been taking a look at some of the earlier illustrations and offered up a more detailed picture of her. Without further ado, here it is!
Hey folks, just letting you know that Greenfinger has completed another illustration from an earlier chapter, this one from Part 2 the Pinkie Pie arc! Here we see Pinkie teaching Turing Test about the fine art of the pratfall... specifically, how to slip on a banana peel.
As usual, Turing's not getting it.
New chapter is coming in a few days. See you soon!
Greetings! The Tumblr has update!

Go check it out. It's just a single image, but it's cool.
In addition to that, we have some news!
Time for another music blog! Yet another new wave revival/futuresynth/etc. group. Like the previous group, this one has a year in their name. A year from the 1980's. So, without further ado, Timecop1983!
Hey folks! So, Greenfinger and I are doing something special: we're making Turing Test-based coffee mugs! We already have a design for one of Turing as a pony, so today he's doing one in her human form! (Note: I'm not planning to make money on it... Green's got my permission to sell 'em because he's your classic starving artist and needs cash to buy food and pencils.)
I got some more illustrations for the chapters 2 and 3 of my story.
You also can have a look at the illustration for the first chapter here.
The illustrations can possibly spoil some plot elements, so you may want to read the story first.
Well, here we go. This is a project I've been meaning to work on for a while. Titled "Hidden Worlds", it will consist of a series of images (and more) that loosely deal with themes of hidden spaces, alternate realities, ancient ruins, underground civilizations, primeval architecture, neolithic societies, bronze age civilization, and quite a few other things. Visuals and more take cues from architectural drawings and retro gaming.
Anyway, here is the first image in the series.
Heya guys! It's been a bit of a long while since I've shown myself. What with an extreme crunch at work which I can only aptly describe as a "Death March" like how the Japanese do, and the holidays around the corner plus a seasonal manuscript I had to do, I had just about no air to breath these last few days. For now, I have a few days to relax, but I'll likely return to that crunch until the mid-January. I'll do my darndest to get a chapter out by Christmas though, energy and soul willing. And
Bought a new Wacom Intuos Draw tablet. Even got the wireless kit with it. After trying to get used to using a drawing tablet again, I finally managed to draw EqG Rarity. Just line art for now. Will color it later. Time invested so far: 3 1/2 hours. Used Art Rage. Usually I draw on Photoshop, but I can't get the tablet buttons to work optimally on there... plus I kinda like how easy the "traditional art" emulation is on Art Rage.
