It has been a long-standing practice of mine to provide illustrations for my stories, since long before I started writing pony fanfic. I often get compliments on them, and I'm particularly grateful to have a regular artist whose style suits my vision of the pony stories. However, it does not come cheaply, and I'm far from a rich person. I'd actually like to get more art, but I can't afford it. To be truthful, I am overdoing it already,

Volume 16 - Chapter 9

The server which hosts the art that illustrates my stories will be getting a big upgrade on August 24th. That means that images will fail to load during this time. If all goes well, then this outage will only last a few hours. If not so well – perhaps a day. Cross your hooves that it's a fast transition.

I had my artist touch up the original picture associated with Volume 1 - Chapter 1.

Thought some of you might be interested in seeing this shaded sketch / drawing type thing of Sunburst!

I've been thinking about writing a story about an event from an earlier time in her life, before Seashell. While I was considering it, I drew this. It came out pretty good. Maybe it's a sign?

Well, I don't know about that, but I like the picture, so that's something, at least.

When it comes to drawing humans, one of the most common issues people have is drawing hands. Hands are possibly the most complex arrangement on the human body, with more varying contours and individual anatomical parts than others, such as the limbs, face, etc. It's easy to get in to the habit of not drawing hands, and simply hiding them. Whether beyond the boundaries of the drawing, or in pockets, or whatever.

Volume 11 - Chapter 1 - Human Dinky

Dinky sitting on Arc's couch as he rummages in the attic looking for some clothes that will fit her. She's still rather nervous on what he'll say when he comes down, as she specifically disobeyed her mother when she followed Arc through the portal. Drawn by my daughter on her new drawing tablet.

Wanted to do a bit of a mini-adventure with her. It was originally going to span several volumes, but I decided to cut it down to half of one.

Volume 1 - Chapter 12 - Barnyard Bargains and Ponyville Writ Board

Hello! So, for my main fic, I have a few goals for it in mind, that being to have a reading of it, to reach 1m words, and to have 1k upvotes. All of which I am fairly confident I can reach at some point if I keep writing the way I am. I also currently have three dedicated prereaders/editors who have done invaluable help and work in making the fic what it is. One of the last things I'd like for this fic is a dedicated illustrator. To elaborate on what that is, someone who draws one scene per

It is not often that I post something here completely UNRELATED to fanficiton, but I'm a little desperate right now.

I am working with a team of dedicated individuals to develop a video game. The general theme is sci-fi open-world.

We've hit a snag in terms of the sense that we do not have several key components required to continue with the pursuit of this game. Mainly, we need people to be able to do the following:

The man pictured below is Will Lee. He was better known to my generation as Mr. Hooper, the owner of Hooper's General Store on Sesame Street. I referenced a line he made during the TV special "Christmas Eve on Sesame Street" briefly at the end of the Christmas Special - VOLUME 14 FINALE - Chapter 22 - Christmas Miracles in the Author's Notes. It was a very touching scene to me. Sadly, this chapter's reference is not so happy.

Volume 20 - Chapter 15, The Cutie Mark Crusaders.

More art! But not from me (as the lower right corner clearly shows.) Won an art raffle, and IJAB was awesome enough to draw some Sassaflash for me (plus her possible-EqG version!) Sassy just doesn't get enough love. Heaven knows why Caramel gets so much attention.

Thanks IJAB!

Image is big, so... Page break!

Still practicing Silver Spanner (and really, pony art) in general...

Just drawn today. Worried the neck is too long. Also, I seem to have a thing for pouty lower lips. What comic artist did I rip that off of...?
