Canterlot WIP · 9:12am Jul 3rd, 2013

Today I started an illustration for the upcoming interlude chapter, of Canterlot. Partly also because I just wanted to paint it.

People never make it look enough like an actual city, if you ask me. Which is natural, I suppose, because in the show it's stylized as basically the castle and nothing else. But I wanted to make Canterlot look big enough to actually contain things like a hedge maze or parade grounds.

A New Chapter Sunday · 3:39am Jun 30th, 2013

With an illustration included from the beginning this time! I just finished it. It's not much, but it's cute enough and I've somehow committed myself to including one each time.

I'm not entirely sure yet how the rest of this scene is going to play out, but in any case after this chapter there's going to be another little detour back to Equestria, to catch up with what's going on there.

Saw Equestria Girls · 12:29am Jun 25th, 2013

It was... Alright. There were some good jokes/callbacks, and the songs were nice but forgettable, in that I only saw it about half an hour ago but can't remember how any of them go - They were perfectly serviceable but instantly dissolved into that sea of girly dance-pop that alternates with bootylicious party rap at literally any night club. The choreography took pretty good advantage of the calf-heavy character designs, though.

Completion · 2:58am Jun 19th, 2013

I didn't get a chance to add any illustrations to the last chapter of P-Theory before I published it, but I finally had time to sit down and do one, then did another because it took so long.
Check 'em out!

Or if you don't feel like going back to the story, here they are anyway!

Countdown · 8:03pm Jun 3rd, 2013

I finished that big animation project and only have two other things I need to work on this week, so I'm going to try to switch back into writing mode and get the next chapter of P-Theory done before Friday, when I go out of town for the weekend for a friend's bachelor party - Interestingly the same group of friends I was partying with last summer when I imagined the opening to this story (they're not in it, though).

At least I can do it in my pajamas... · 6:41am May 13th, 2013

One of my illustration clients is wanting to start speeding things along (me too; it's been taking forever), so the next chapter might be delayed a bit.

A Preview Approaches! · 1:00pm Mar 11th, 2013

This scene is a lo-o-o-o-ng way off in the story, but I drew it yesterday and thought it was super cute and want to share it with all y'all, and reclaim a little Pony Legitimacy with a show style illustration since most of the ones in the story are more realistic. I'm not calling it a spoiler because A) it's a note every story like this has to hit and B) you will have forgotten about it by then:

Flap Them Crazy Wings · 9:36pm Feb 17th, 2013

So, Twilicorn happened. I should probably speak up or be further buried in the lower layers of the Ponisphere.

I enjoyed the episode - The songs were catchy and fun, everypony was in top form, and there was lots of creative imagery, but the whole thing just made me sad. It felt really elegiac, like it was an official final episode, which in a way I suppose it was - Bidding farewell to that "arc" of the show and moving into a new one.

Bombs Away! · 2:53pm Feb 3rd, 2013

I just hit "submit" for my first story on this site, a stab at the Optimalverse. It's only part one of two, but I realized holding onto these stories until they're polished and tightened as much as possible is completely bananas.
