Chaos Mage Istovan Xerxes

memories:

If there’s one thing I learned since I signed up on 04/17/2013 4:24:54 PM, it’s that #my litte pony friendship is magic takes up too much of my time.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who enjoys timestamps with precision down to the second (and beyond).

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!

After another half year of inactivity, I have returned once again to upload something.  I wanted to go all out in order to get back into art after nearly 6 months of not drawing.  I’ve also been wanting to draw something creepy looking for Halloween for quite a while now, so I decided to pick the first creepy looking OC I could think of, FNGR:

The style I used for the eyes was inspired by @mylittlechangeling, as I really like how they draw changeling eyes.

I also felt like drawing his OC as an Incubus, a member the Cubi race of one of my favorite web-comics, DMFA, which belongs to:

For those not familiar with DMFA, just like the Changeling race from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, Cubi can shapeshift and feed on emotions, though they aren’t limited to love.  Most have an affinity towards a particular emotion or two, usually in line with the common emotional affinity of the clan they belong to.  I think FNGR would have an affinity towards the emotions typically associated with drama.  More info can be found here:

Overall, I would have to say it came out pretty well, given that this is only my third attempt at shading something I’ve drawn, though I would appreciate criticism so I can continue to improve.

Please Commission Me

Well, the day has finally arrived, the day I begin offering commissions to people, despite my lack of an extensive portfolio of art.

Unfortunately, I’m doing this mainly out of desperation, because, well, basically, I need money for food and other life expenses, and just about all my other sources of cash have run dry.  So before my food supply does as well, I need to sell some commissions…fast!  I am quite literally about to become a starving artist.

So, above are my commission prices and examples as of May 2018, and I really hope I’m not overcharging for the kind of quality I can currently offer.

If you would like to commission me for this price, please do one of the following:

Wow, it has been a while since I posted anything on Tumblr, let alone art. Over three years, in fact!

Wow, it has been a while since I posted anything on Tumblr, let alone art.  Over three years, in fact!

Anyway, this is my reference for my main pony OC, Istovan Xerxes, which serves as my ponysona.  He is a sleipnir, an eight-legged horse from Norse mythology.  There is no cutie mark yet because I haven’t designed one yet, so for now he shall remain a blank flank.  Now, onto the important part…

ANATOMY:
+ Front legs are stacked, with two collar bones, the second further down the rib cage.
+ Rear legs are all side-by-side, emanating from a single pelvic bone that branches into two sub-pelvises.
+ The torso is slightly wider than normal to accommodate the four side-by-side rear legs.
+ The head is slightly larger than normal due to the wider torso.
+ Optionally, there can be two additional sub-tails between the outer legs.
+ These sub-tails would be smaller than the main tail, because they don’t have spinal support.

I designed this anatomy to function well in both feral and anthro form.

Wow, I sent that ask ages ago…and it’s been featured in an update! :D Thanks for using my ask.

Requests Part 2 from the livestream 20/03/2015. Thank you very much for watching, I really enjoyed to draw your requests!

Thanks again for drawing my kelpie OC.  He looks great!  This is also one of the few instances where he’s drawn with his cutie mark.  I’m still undecided as to whether he should even have a cutie mark, as well as the design of his cutie mark if he does have one.  However, I do like how satine-pony was able to draw the current design at that flank angle.

Headcanon voice search #2

cactuspimp:

Since I have little to none voice options for Richard, I decided to ask my followers:

Maybe you have some ideas? Any options?

Hmmm, well, if you’re looking for a voice to imagine him having, Liam Neeson comes to mind.  He’s a well known actor in the action movie genre.  If you’ve watched the Lego Movie (in English), in which he voices the police officer, you’d know that he actually has a surprising vocal range and isn’t limited to the gravelly voice he’s doing in most other movies, which would be great for Richard’s different states of mind.

Now, if you’re actually looking for someone who could do voice work for an audio project, I don’t really know many voice actors.  There is one who might fit:

http://curezen.tumblr.com/

He’s part of an audio project that I’m also a part of, and you can listen to a sample of his work here, though the character he’s voicing has a bit of a southern drawl:

EDIT: Whoops, looks like you already found some other candidates, but I’ll still leave this post up as a way of promoting CureZen’s work and the Desert Willow Bounty Hunter audio project.

Yep, I’m going to stream attempting to draw a fully colored and shaded picture of the character Seti from the blog askdeserteagle.

Yep, I’m going to stream attempting to draw a fully colored and shaded picture of the character Seti from the blog askdeserteagle.

Above are preliminary sketches that are the result of me brushing up on my equine anatomy by performing quick warm up sketches of the aforementioned character.  Hopefully my drawings in this stream will surpass the ones above in quality and accuracy to the character.  Either way, it will be an experience you won’t want to miss.  Click the link below to watch my drawing hand flail about:

Simply beautiful. Definitely worth every penny and more. askdeserteagle really outdid themselves on this commission. This is by far the best picture of my kleptomaniacal kelpicorn yet.

Doodles from the stream! Thanks for watching!

Yep, the third picture is my kelpie OC, Kraken Vaults.  I forgot to reblog this back when it was posted.  Thanks again for drawing him, WishDream.
