    Ooh, nice design! Getting a laid-back surfer vibe from him. All he needs is a couple of tattoos to cement the look. *tosses Inkbrand into the fray*

    Really like the design of this pony - simple, yet striking!

    A Tale of Daw

    From the album: OC Art

    Full size is best size, and shoddy background work is shoddy, lulz. Been in another art slump recently, so random sketched out and ended up finishing a little snippet of Shogun-esque bonding between Ryuichi and his youngest sibling. I imagine he's patiently listening as she excitedly recounts a tale that includes whatever adventure she went on that day - a tale that is most undoubtedly filled to the brim with daaaaaaaaw.

    Was thinking to myself the other day, that the last handful of pictures I've uploaded to my gallery have all had white backgrounds. I try to make sure I draw some pictures with non-white backgrounds every once in a while, just so I don't get in the habit of not bothering with backgrounds, and also because it's nice to see something other than blinding white when I'm browsing the pictures I've uploaded. Which is when I decided to do another Okami picture, because I haven't done one in a while. And my new character helped with the inspiration, whaddya know! Considering the different layers Xiu's mane has, I'm fairly pleased with how this one turned out. The simplistic background, too, I thought melded well into the "Okami" style feel. So overall, I'm happy with the result!

    Dēnglong Xiu

    From the album: OC Art

    "But Zeig, I thought your Yokai was going to be your last OC for a long while to come?" AHAHAHAHA...you thought. Dēnglong Xiu is the Imperial Wood Synergist for the Imperial Palace of Huangjing - essentially, a fancy way of saying she's the head physician of the palace. She's also rather unique among my OCs in being something of a doormat. She's not quite shy, but she's definitely more awkward than pretty much all of my characters combined. I don't usually play meek or "weak-willed" sorts of characters, but Xiu is definitely on the milder end of the spectrum...even if she does have her moments.
  12. From the album: OC Art

    Normally I put the character log artwork of my characters into compilation posts every so often, rather than posting them all separately. But I decided to upload Kakushi's log/post banner by itself, because I really love how this one turned out. I even like it a lot better than the original art I drew of him - there's something about it that just looks both more wolfish and more ethereal/mystical to me.

    Ōkami

    From the album: OC Art

    Do the colors look familiar? They should! I had originally written Kamikakushi no Shinrin, my Yokai wolf pupper, to be more akin to an isolated spirit that random travelers met when passing through his forest. Originally, he was even too prideful to use a disguise and remained in his true form all the time. But as we all know, WoE is a social area, so unless I planned very specific threads with very specific characters, there really was no point in having an isolated character who always hid himself from others. So, I did some brainstorming and decided I needed to change some details, while Dio gave me an idea as to what those exact details might be. Thus came about this pony disguise of Kakushi's, an attractive stallion who's become so renowned in the modeling world that he can simply waltz into a studio and model for a bit then walk back out. No one knows how to get in contact with him, but he's always able to take whatever job he wants whenever he deigns to show up. Because of the wolf cutie mark the disguise has, said disguise has gotten himself known as... *drumroll* Ōkami. *regrets nothing!*

    Dat preview picture tho... Newest OC, an Okami Yokai by the name of Kamikakushi no Shinrin (who will probably start going by a nickname of some sort once he meets some ponies, but until then, Kamikakushi no Shinrin it is). Ever since the extended canon species thing started, I had the vague notion of apping a Kitsune. The idea died down quick enough, but randomly resurfaced with a vengeance the other day, and had morphed into an idea for an Okami. I like foxes, but wolves even more so, which is how I began a sketch that eventually morphed into this. I also wanted to give him a look that wasn't completely wolf, since Yokai are not really animals, so I ended up drawing some inspiration from the Pokemon Suicune and Okami (the video game) for his design. Also kinda realized late that Kamikakushi no Shinrin's tail colors are eerily reminiscent of Yin's, at least the highlighted sections...BUT by the time I realized, it was too late. Ah well, still happy with the way he turned out!
  16. From the album: Requests, Gifts, Commissions

    I've been in a kind of strange art mood lately, where I want to draw but don't really know what to draw...until I stumbled across an old RP and this adorable character, where I then proceeded to realize that said character has absolutely no art of him. Which is, just...awful. So I set out to rectify that very sad fact! Chipper Demise is a Necromancer who's based off of Henry from Fire Emblem:Awakening. Needless to say, he's very...chipper, despite his profession...or maybe because of it. The outfit was also inspired by the character Chipper's based off of, though I think he usually doesn't wear robes this fine. Maybe this is one of his dress robes?...

  17. Soooo... This is a thing I did for a short while, and then something happened and it kind of fell off the wagon. But, I always felt kind of bad for not answering the last few people and never giving any indication if I was continuing the blog or not. Most of them are probably not active on the site anymore, but, in any case, I decided to go ahead and finish off a few of their questions anyways, just because. And because I got a few more expressions done. Heeeeeeere we go! "Well...I mean..." *cue fantasy montage* Unrealistic daydreams aside...Inkbrand likes mares, so stallions would be right out. But as far as a realistic choice for a lifelong wife, he'd want someone who'll let him do his own thing and be himself, and basically be the most chillax mare in existence. What he needs though, is a mare that would like him for who he is, but still challenge him to become better. Not demand that he change himself to fit what she wants, of course, but not be so complacent that no change occurs at all. Inkbrand is completely fine with himself as he is, but that doesn't make him the best that he can be. And that doesn't mean that he needs to turn into sunshine and rainbows and puppy dogs, but that's also not to say that he is perfect as is and that he doesn't need to make improvements. "Uh...." "I mean yeah, sure, suppose I might. Way off in the future...like, way off, right. Little mini-me running around? Heh, that'd be pretty sweet as. But uh, I dunno. Not really a life goal of mine, 'ya know? If I end up with a foal of my own, I'd...that'd be alright. But if I don't, whelp. S'alright with me." Basically, Inkbrand's not adverse to the idea of having foals of his own...but that's not something he's actively looking for, either. At least right now. "You better bucking believe it! I'm in the prime of my life, baby, don't have time to be babysitting foals." Didn't really have a problem with it not that long ago - "YEAH well, I mean. Buck, those were special circumstances, and only a couple 'o months. Big difference between a few months and a bucking lifetime." "Didn't you ask me a question about my love life earlier? You seem pretty interested in it..." Naw, that was someone else. "Oh! Well...the flirt still works, buck it." Funnily enough, most of the mares who chase or swoon over Inkbrand do so in completely roundabout ways. They seem more interested in getting Inkbrand interested in them rather than showing their interest themselves...which makes their interest all the more obvious. More mares (and the RPers who play them) seem to think that having a pretty character, or a mare covered in tattoos, or a mare with a white coat, is enough to catch Inkbrand's attention and make him fall madly in love with the character. And what they'll do is just place their character in his vicinity, thinking that Inkbrand will come bounding over to drool all over them. So to answer the question more concisely...yes, it is obvious when most mares swoon over Inkbrand. However, they rarely do any chasing themselves, but instead embark on elaborate song and dance steps meant to entice Inkbrand while pretending they aren't interested at all. Which, again, makes their interest all the more blatant. "They all just wanna play Innocent Schoolfilly to the Big Bad Punk Stallion. Which, 'ya know...I'm okay with." "Heh-heh. Hopes and dreams, huh?" "I'll let 'ya in on a little secret, buddy. I'm a simple kind of stallion. I mean sure, I might wanna become the only tattoo artist worth visiting in Equestria and brand a tat onto a royal flank featuring a sun or moon design, but hey. I'm already the Best Bucking Tattoo Artist in Equestria already, so those dreams aren't too far off, right? And, well... ...yeah." He's got his hopes and dreams like pretty much everyone else, even if some of them he'd rather not share. Thanks for reading! Because I made some new expressions I might continue this blog if there is enough of a response for it, but for the most part, I wanted to wrap up some of the questions that people took the time to ask and I never got around to answer. If any of you are still around, hope you enjoyed the Q&A!

    Chibisplosion

    From the album: OC Art

    People who frequent the Discord server have more than likely already seen these, but I decided to compress all the hooman chibi drawings I've done into a single pic and upload into my gallery. Mostly because they've been fun little quick sketches to do of my characters and others' characters. So...yeah. Chibi hoomans. Is there anything better? Of course not.

    Human!Ryuichi

    From the album: OC Art

    Full size is best size! Been a while since I tried a human!pony, and the previous one doesn't really count since that was more an RP idea. This is more focused on "what does pony look like as human," and I think I pretty much like the end result! Now that only leaves...sixteen hundred other OCs to humanfy? ...Yeah...yeah, that sounds about right~
  20. From the album: OC Art

    "...From this hour henceforth I pledge to revere all petals, bask in fragrance, bask in beauty, and serve forever the Empire of Flowers." Thus ends the epic ballad of Limi and Mei, who were brought together by sheer happenstance and stayed together through sheer stubbornness, force of will, and mutual acknowledgement of mistakes and faults. The Empire of Flowers will forever stand as a proof of their struggles, their heartaches, and their inevitable journey towards each other. (And then there's ten years down the road where their trials pale in comparison to the journey of marriage, but no one wants to read about the happily ever after, it's all about the drama of breakups and forgiveness leading up to reconciliation and eventually ending up together. That's what sells them novels and gets movie rights, yo.) Limi (c) Bellosh
  21. From the album: OC Art

    "...and as the cycle falls, once every one hundred years does the Shogun participate in The Hunt, offering himself as prey for the restless spirits that have made way through the cracks. Hide yourselves as the Shogun flees, wary the sound of the oni approaching from behind. Bare witness to the bell sound of the Shogun's return, in victory or defeat, and prepare the next one hundred years of bountiful harvest, or barren misery." Very rough and unpolished art, I know, but I just wanted to get this little idea out of my head and onto a picture after watching an episode of Natsume Yuujincho (which is also where the mask design comes from). Japanese legend and myth seems to place the importance of masks concerning yokai or spirits, i.e. you can blend in with spirits by hiding your human face. I like the idea of Neighpon having some sort of huge, nation-wide festival every so often, where maybe the barrier between Neighpon and The Door gets blurred, so old, highly superstitious Neighpon used to see everyone walk around with a mask for a whole week, and it just grew into a custom or tradition. Or it's customary for the Shogun to participate in some sort of elaborate song and dance where s/he's dressed up like a powerful yokai of legend, and essentially offers himself up as bait for the lesser oni that have slipped through The Door. Whether he manages to remain at large for the entire night or gets captured by an oni determines the overall success of Neighpon for the next hundred years until the Door cracks open again (at least according to legend). ...Also haven't drawn a human in a while, so decided to practice that. I actually have a sketch WIP of a picture similar to this with actual pony Ryuichi, but decided to switch over to a human!Ryuichi at some point. The mask actually worked fairly well over a snout, surprisingly - I might go back and try to finish that at some point.
  22. Happy Easter to all, and to all a...well. A happy Easter!

    Corva Pardus

    From the album: Requests, Gifts, Commissions

    Another request this time for Pyro's Triad character Corva. A lazy griffon with a perchance for settling all of her problems with some strongly worded letters - aka fists - Corva's going to eventually be running around with the other Triad members as they plod along Long Kong, causing mayhem and trouble when she isn't being lazy. Fun fact: When I read Corva's physical description, I was a bit worried that she'd end up looking like Zelda, one of tacobob's characters. Luckily, Corva's got some very distinctive design choices. I mean, red and orange?! Zelda wouldn't be caught dead in red and orange tattoos. Inkbrand would make sure of that. Corva (c) Pyroblaze

    "...and I break your face." Nah, she's just kidding. Probably. ... Request to draw Bellosh's newest character, a Qilin by the name of Aunt Ci...aka, the "Wrathful Guardian of Fortune." I wasn't feeling up to a full body though, so I settled for a bust shot type deal. Chances are, you're going to be CIing this Qilin around the Triad members that have cropped up recently, because she's...well. Let's just say she's got an understanding going on with the Triads.

    Time Out

    From the album: OC Art

    Brother and sister take some time to just relax under the sun...because all work and no play is really kirin them. *regrets nothing* Just a quick little doodle/color. I need more practice drawing foals so that they look foal-aged...and more stubby looking. Stubby-features are key to all foals! Fēng (c) PrinceBlueblood
