Yep, finally got a chance to start work on some Discorded Dr. Whooves fanart, inspired by a scene in a recent post of the Tumblr account at http://askdiscordwhooves.tumblr.com/.

And yep, I have plans to take this to finished inks and colors before AnimeNEXT 2013.

And the initial rough sketch for Edward of his pony OC, dinidea. Inks and marker painting to come soon.

Been wanting to draw the pony mascots for Big Apple Ponycon ever since I first saw them. But nope, I’m NOT drawing them in their regular pony forms. Not happening! NOPITY NOPE!I don’t know why, but I can just see Cabbie as a big and built Percheron, like a big, hard working, slightly intimidating looking pony who is really just a big sweetheart of a teddy bear. I may have to hold back on the feathering around his hooves, though, if that’s the case. Besides, he’s a New York City cabbie, he’s GOTTA be tough!Liberty comes across as a super bubbly, caffeine induced kinda gal who would be the one to drag Cabbie and Bowtie into problematic situations. I’d imagine her personality is kinda like that of Amelia Wil Tesla Seyruun from Slayers. Bowtie, VERY classy, hoity toity-ish, LOVES glam and glitz ( oh goodness, you know I’m going to have fun drawing future pictures of this boy. X3 ).Everything has been done in ArtRage Studio, up to this point. I WILL be inking and coloring this the good old fashioned way, with ink and brush, and then colored with markers or dyes. We’ll see how much time I have.I’ll post a link to the Livestream session for this once I can get it uploaded ( yeah, it didn’t record to the Livestream servers yet AGAIN, but I saved it on my hard drive while streaming. Take that, network! HAH! ).

Art Livestreaming within the hour!

Heya all!


Livestreaming within the hour today ( it is now 1:13pm EST ).


Will be working on adding the clothing to sexy anthro BAP mascots, Liberty, Cabbie, and Bowtie, in ArtRage Studio. Will be saving the recording to my hard drive as well, so I can upload it to my YouTube and Facebook accounts later on. No hearing my voice this time, though, as we have more construction work going on here at the house and it’s noooooisy. So you get to hear my Winamp playlist.


Pop on in if you have some time!
