    Haven't drawn anything in a while, so I decided to practice drawing female ponies, since I tend to have trouble with them. Also tried a new technique featuring softer and colored lines. Came out meh. Still. Random unicorn design!

    Cosplay ahoy!

    From the album: OC Art

    Got in a discussion with someone the other day, about hats, Nightmare Night, and other things. It all culminated into a picture of Inkbrand dressed up as Snow Villiers, one of my favorite FF characters. This will probably be his Nightmare Night costume since he dressed up as a pirate last year - though, not sure what he'll call it IC. I guess a bandit outfit, maybe? Snow Villiers © Square Enix

    I am seriously digging the new shading techniques you're using, your pictures feel a lot more vibrant and expressive. Plus, first time for a griffon? Outstanding!

    The White Fox

    From the album: OC Art

    After a short hiatus away from ponies, I wanted to draw one to reacquaint myself with my drawing techniques and such. Decided to practice on Xiphos, my newest bat pony OC who only has a few art pieces done of him at the moment. The hair came out a little wonky, but overall I like it. I really need to get him into some threads, ideas for his character are liable to burst out of my head at any moment.
  7. Woah, sorry! Kind of dropped off the map for a while. My hiatus from Canterlot is going to continue for a while, please continue RPs without me!

      Durp! Glad I decided to check up on ya.

  8. And now, to drop Xiphos off somewhere. Or make a thread for him. Hmm.

      I was doing the same for my new areion. Is he CC, or WoE?

      Xiphos is an Aerion as well, so CC. Must put on my brainstorming hat!

    Inspired by Tacobob's recent post in the Spellbound RP, this is another simple animation. Click on the picture to get the animation started. I'm already in love with Dazzle Dawn, one of Rarity's OCs, and Nocturne Wisp's dynamic, and they've only had about two posts together. Nocturne is kind of a broody guy, and Dazzle's sunshine is a perfect compliment. Can't wait to RP more with this character! Dazzle Dawn © Rarity
  10. "Baby, why answer that when I can just show you?" Or, you could just…answer the question. "Well yeah, but that wouldn't be nearly as fun." Definitely not - he's had many flings and some intimate relationships throughout his life. He's usually pretty good about letting a mare know exactly what he is - and more importantly - what he isn't looking for before they end up together for a night, however. "Buck, 'ya got that right. Don't need the tears and drama and frying pans in my life, thanks." "Oh hay, that one's easy!" "Girl I used to know when I first moved into Ponyvile - up and coming model, and a coat as white as bucking new snow. Had to have her, but she was real uptight at first, wouldn't even give me the time of day! Didn't want a tat because it might ruin her 'prospects' and rot. But wouldn't 'ya know it, she fell for me within a couple of months. Talked her into getting something pretty extravagant for one of her 'edge shots', as she liked to call 'em. Heh, I can still picture the pattern too - gold, light-filled twines all over her flank, right out under her cutie mark. Bucking hot as. Hay yeah, she's definitely my crowning glory. Yeah…bet she's strutting her stuff in Cantelrot as we speak, my tats all over her body. What I wouldn't give to see that." "The buck? Wait one Celestia-cursed second - " I wouldn't call it a weakness - not every cute thing is going to make Inkbrand break out into squeals and giggles, as it were. It just depends on the circumstance, like most things. The recent arctic fox pet he required, for example, is very cute in Inkbrand's eyes. He shared an intimate moment with Radiant Star, when she was acting fairly cute and not at all like herself. He swooped in to play with a foal that was attempting to re-create one of his tattoo designs. So, no, he doesn't have a weakness - he's just not as invulnerable to cute things as he'd like to believe. "Tch. RS was pretty bucking cute, acting all shy and worried about my reaction. Heh, if we hadn't been fighting for our lives, we probably would have done more than just hug. And by more, I mean me doing something entirely appropriate for the situation and her trying to spear me with her horn. Hot." (By entirely appropriate, he means entirely inappropriate. Just in case anyone was wondering). A new 'Ask Inkbrand' blog, up and out! I'm having a lot more fun with this than I thought I would, so much so that I'm falling behind in RPs. Keep the questions coming, they're fun to answer!
  11. Great perspective as always McDerp. I really like the design of this pony too, and you made her eyes really pop!
  12. "Mind telling me why the buck I'm even doing this? I know the public can't get enough of me, but I've got more important things to do than sit around answering stupid questions. Eating, tattooing, mares. That stuff." Because I'm your writer and I'm making you do so. Your free will is a lie. "Free will my flank, I'll free will my hoof right up your - " "PWAHAHAHAHA!" "No." *twitch* "I don't know, why are you so - " *slaps* "Buck, that's a lot of ground to cover. Oi, writer, pick one." "What, that one? Sorry to disappoint you babe, but I don't do scared. Well, except for that one time when I snuck into Bright Light's apartment. For some reason, she didn't seem to think her brother being home for a visit was an important thing to tell me. Buck I nearly wet myself when he came barging into her room swinging around a sledgehammer. Bucking unicorn magic. Managed to escape with only a bruised shoulder, I'm glad to say. Don't know what he would have broken if he'd gotten his hooves on me. And afterwards…well." *snickers* Let's just say I became a master at finding small and easily hidden spots, just big enough for two ponies. Come find me in Manehatten if you want a personal tour, eh babe?" A great story, but entirely irrelevant, given the actual question. Inkbrand has probably felt the most fear and terror at the hands of Tirek - not of Tirek himself, but of what he did. Those first feelings of helplessness and physical vulnerability, where he couldn't even rely on something so basic as his physical body, was really the most fearful moment of Inkbrand's life. This was also the cause of his dislike - maybe even subconscious fear? - of unicorn magic, particularly because of Tirek's magic that directly manipulated the world in the way only unicorns can. "The buck? Am I the one answering this blog or you? Tirek was a hulking bulk of Tauratrus spawn and nothing more. I mean the guy shriveled into nothing from rainbows. Rainbows, man!" Well if you can't answer truthfully, I'll just have to answer everything for you. After all, I see and know everything about you. "Now that's just plain creepy, you stalking son of a - " Hope you enjoyed this first 'Ask Inkbrand' blog!'

    Ask Inkbrand

    So you know those "Ask ____" Tumblr accounts, where an artist draws pictures to answer questions from the general public? This is a lazier and less picture-y version. I joined Canterlot.com and apped Inkbrand just a few months ago. I've been pretty flattered with the response I've gotten for both him and my RPing, but I've noticed that quite a few people seem to be interested in learning more about Inkbrand. I've been asked numerous things - his likes and dislikes, the direction I want to take his character, his detailed history, his preference in partners, why he dislikes unicorn magic, romantic patterns, how I developed the character…you name it. The number of questions I've gotten about him finally inspired me to start an "Ask Inkbrand" blog, where users can ask any burning questions they've had on their minds about the character, or even about my writing and RPing. Most of the answers will just be written, though I may throw a few pictures in from time to time. You can ask anything you want, from serious questions about the character and his development (these types of questions I'd probably dedicate a full blog post to) to funny, non-serious ones (I'll probably answer a couple of these per blog). You can even feel free to message me questions if posting them in public makes you uncomfortable. Answers will be a mix of IC and OOC answers, depending on the question. So, ask away if you'd like, and I'll do my best to answer any questions Canterlot throws at me.
  14. Sure, feel free. Goodness knows I've used countless victims for various shipping pictures, myself. And thanks McDerp, Rackenhammer! I had a lot of fun drawing this, mostly because it's the first time I've tried drawing a lot of light sources and reflecting the different colors off the person/pony.

    Inkbrand HD

    From the album: OC Art

    A lot of people have probably already seen this picture, I'm using it in Inkbrand's current posting layout. But I wanted to uploaded it anyways, because I was/am really proud of it. Used the base of a previous pic and re-did the mane, facial features, and part of the skin from scratch.

    A scene from the Bohemian Club, featuring Inkbrand and Zelda engaged in a friendly dance. This turned out a lot more romantic than I intended because of the soft lights everywhere, but the actual background I attempted was just. Horrible. So, lights. Zelda's a pretty cool character, and so far she's getting along fabulously well with Inkbrand - it's not everyday he meets a girl that doesn't want to punch him in the face. Who knows where this is going? Zelda © Tacobob

    Heart Healer

    I just downloaded a crystal pony pattern, then applied it to the layer at a lowered opacity. Think I changed it to a multiply layer as well, but I can't remember. Google, "MLP Crystal Pony texture", you'll see a lot of different textures to use.
  18. I know a few threads I need to respond to, but I feel like I'm missing some. Lemme know if you're waiting on a RP response from me.

    Full size is best size! Another "let's design Inkbrand a new outfit", though with a bit more purpose, as Inkbrand's taking part in a RP that takes place in the desert. If you can't tell, I got real lazy with the background, couldn't be bothered trying to shade the sand any nicer. But I like how his outfit came out. Next outfit will probably be one for extreme snow and ice, and will also probably have a balaclava, because I love those things.
  20. "Inkbrand's quality and quantity is above and beyond any OC in our history." Oh shucks. *Scuffs the floorboards* Thanks CaptainMcDerp, and thanks SteelEagle for including me in the rankings. Now I'm doubly glad I tried a second time to get Inkbrand approved for WoE - way more posts and RP shenanigans to be had!

    Heart Healer

    From the album: Requests, Gifts, Commissions

    Inspired by CaptainMcDerp's work, I decided to try my hand at drawing a crystal pony today. Chose a model I've been pretty interested in, as I've seen her being RPed around the forums a few times. Heart Healer belongs to Scootalux, a Crystal Pony psychologist with a gift for empathy. Not much description was given for mane and tail style, so I kind of went with my idea of a young therapist - too busy to comb out her hair, so tie it up in a quick ponytail and never mind the stray waves that fall loose. This was very fun to draw, and one of the easiest drawings I've done in a while (in terms of getting the sketch decent enough to lineart it). Heart Healer kind of drew herself onto my tablet. I might have to do more random gift pics, if this is the result. Heart Healer © Scootalux

    This looks really awesome! Great perspective as always, and I like how the crystallization came out. Makes me want to try drawing a Crystal Pony now.
  23. From the album: OC Art

    Felt like drawing my Aerion OC again, this time with Dio volunteering his lovely Pegasus Meadowhawk. Just a quick sketch and color styled after this picture, because no matter how much I try, this Aerion guy is just coming out to be mischievous and sly and full of it. Same picture flipped over, just 'cause. Meadowhawk © Dio
  24. From the album: OC Art

    I should really stop designing OCs to the extent where I want to put up an application for them. Random drawing of a Bat Pony I did the other day, with a bonus picture of his mane out of its ponytail. I think adding an Aerion to my small roster would be really cool - but he'd need some major tweaking. At the moment, he's basically writing out as a carbon copy of Inkbrand. Though, according to some people, multiple Inkbrands running around wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing. Also couldn't help the somewhat cliched 'black coat white mane' trope. I'm an absolute sucker for lighter hair colors paired with darker skin/fur colors.
