I drew something… it ended up as this.

This is basically how I go about designing my characters. The image shows what factors feed directly into other factors… and why I work in that order.

The idea is that a normal unicorn living in show-style canterlot will have very different interests, personality and talents to a Fallout Equestria Pegasus- the environments are so totally different along with the thigs they have the chance to be good at.

Some factors just don’t matter in determining others… I also kinda think that Name and Cutie Mark don’t have to match, but they’ll correlate due to the same deciding factors.

THEME refers to an overarching idea- Rainbow Dash is all about speed, which is affected by her personality, where she lives and her race. A Unicorn in Canterlot would likely be much less interested i becoming the fastest Pony in Equestria. Her theme is a little more than just her talent though… it’s speed AND colour AND flashiness!

from that we get her talent, colours, name and cutie mark… though each is also fed into by other things.

Silly Noble doesn’t know her mutants, clearly.

Commissioned OC piece.

Today has been a constructive day, art-wise.

Aaand the same image but with a hoodie ~~and horn removed (for reasons)~~

EDIT: Changed for version with horn here too.

5 new shirts on my RedBubble store:

Altered colours somewhat from the previous version from some time ago.. which was also just altered colours from THIS piece… which was a redrawn version of THIS piece.

Lots of Lacunae.

Updated an old piece.

Making a shirt of her, so needed a much larger file - original is less than 600x600, new is over 2500x2500 - so I cleaned her up and made minor changes as I went.

I made Berry Punch out of snow while at my friend’s in Czech! Better details visable in the videos- them and more photos can be found here.

Would have taken a picture in the light but the dog (seen in the videos) peed on her :C

Also i’m back home now.

Piggy.

TWO THINGS:

Opening two more slots for commissions due to pretty dire need of money ASAP. Normally I’d only have at most 3 open, but hey! Again these will be slow, done mid Jan/Feb, but they will be done!
Will be doing a stream tonight (about 8PM 10PM UTC) to work on the two I already have somewhat.

Remaining slots:

[Click here for comm page]

Edit: Friend decided to come over, delaying stream 2 hours. Still one comm slot available.

EDIT: Slots taken, thanks guys!

~~EDIT: Stream moved to Monday due to lag and impossibly distracting friend.~~

EDIT: Stream cancelled, feel ill. Sorry.

Commission of the ever popular Air Raid from Outlaw.

Had some fun playing with lighting this one. Trying to do something new with every commission of late. In this case I upped the detail and did a three-point lighting attempt.

Commission changes.
Okay, so for now I’m just gonna post this up practically empty and update/reblog when I finish detailing it out. Anything posted here is subject to change and likely will before I finally open them again.
The reason i’m changing them is because right now they simply don’t pay enough for the time put in and I just get frustrated if one takes longer than I’d like, which happens way more often than not.
Here’s the three tiers I (currently) have in mind
First thing of note is that I’ll be doing unrefined, quick sketches (such as these) for £3.50. Maybe a bit more if i think it’ll take me more than half an hour to do.
the higher and highest tiers will be merged and start at £25 (which assumes about 3 and half hours’ work minimum due to refining for a cleaner lineart.
The current rough tier will likely be £10+ and essentially be a coloured, more refined version of the sketch tier.
Bear in mind this is all more or less based on aiming for £7 per hour spent drawing…. which is what I’d be looking for were i to do weekend job instead. If I’m not at least coming CLOSE to that it’s not worth my time… spending 5+ hours on £15 is NOT very pleasant when £6.50 is minimum hourly wage here (balanced to cost of living, of course).
Will be reflected in the commission page before I open them again

Going to finalise these now. Once done, I’ll open a few slots to be done SLOWLY… as in across the next month or two because I have a lot of catchup to do at uni (also I’ll be in Czech Republic a week).

Finally able to post this.

Had some problems with SAI, but they appear to be sorted.
