Let's start December with this nice illustration for the first chapter of my story. Buildings look strange, but they aren't the main point of the drawing.

And my pal Greenfinger's drawing me a free commission on his Twitch stream after 4 pm Central today. It'll be Gadget cosplaying as something... appropriate. Come and hang out... or just think of me and raise a toast with your afternoon/evening drink of choice. 🥂 Edit: Stream's over, but you can watch the recording!

Hi chaps.
As you know, the recurring and most dangerous villain in my fimfics is the mercenary leader, Cascadius. I have never, to this day, described his appearance in order to keep a sense of mystery about him.
I was preparing to finally describe him later in the fic when the Mane 6 first confront him in person but part of me's afraid the suspense is dragging on too long. Does anyone want him described sooner?
I have finished an illustration if you really can't wait.

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...?

I'm pretty satisfied with it.

Hello there! New drawing time. This is Snowball's OC, Snowball.

A few things. First, I will be posting a different version in the near future. This is a scan of the drawing. I will also be photographing it with my DSLR, as my scanner is having issues capturing all the subtleties of the colors. Hopefully I can address that When it is photographed I will post a compare and contrast.

Just what it says on the tin! If you missed the art stream where Greenfinger draws and I talk, then you're in luck! We have the video for it right here!

Waiting for the new MLP episode. Doodling in the meantime. Started a new Silver Spanner sketch. Trying to put more effort into it. Scared of screwing it up. Been a while since I've done something with so much in it. I'm aiming for a dystopian cyberpunk thing. Kinda.

In the last chapter of The Iron Horse, there’s a specific scene that a lot of you wanted to see illustrated. Specifically, the scene where Turing Test sees her siblings, including Georgia Peach, and Cobbler at the breakfast table. Well, a reader named Circuit Breaker went ahead and commissioned Greenfinger to draw it! Check it out below the break! (Spoilers

Hey it's in the wee hours of Friday right now, but this afternoon my illustrator Greenfinger and I will be doing a drawstream to finish the humanized Turing Test and 002 "Sister Hug" picture started on Wednesday, so come by and join us at 4 pm C on Green's Twitch Channel "GreenfingerDraws!" We always love the company, and we'll both be on hand to answer questions or just chat.

So in my continued efforts to get back into art, I drew this freehand and upside down from a photograph. It makes me think of Sassaflash from my new fic.

The photograph I used.

Hey, guys!

So if you haven't heard, Aquaman wants to open a bookstore at Bronycon next year as part of a FimFiction send-off to the convention. I think this is a badass idea and want everything to do with it.

So other than signalboosting the idea, what's the point of this blogpost?

My current story has less than ten chapters to publish. I only need to finish the last stage of pre-reading and chapters would be ready.

I would like to thank everyone who have sent me any feedback. It helps to improve the story and increases odds of creating another story in the same setting.

Next chapter is coming along slowly but surely, just putting some art work together. Here's a sneak peak

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!
