June Art Batch

All these birthdays these month, including mine.Didn't realize where in the month I was anymore, so the birthday arts ended up being the main finished pieces.

https://twitter.com/AssasinMonkey/status/1489358034325311489Please read the above tweet for full details.In short, I'm not doing good, my health and sanity has been suffering. It's just been hurting trying to make art.I will pause my Patreon for this month, you won't be charged March 1.Thank you everyone for all the support.

Personal Update

https://twitter.com/AssasinMonkey/status/1488301069633417219I'm sorry I've been very absent this month.There's a lot going on and it's been difficult to focus on art. There's some stuff that needs prep, but also just thoughts and life things. I had set some things in motion, good and bad. But at times it does become too much for my mind.I suppose these last years have been roug...

Earth, Orange, Ties

Time-Lapse: https://youtu.be/ZoTnD86a1s4Starting of the year with extra orange.Orange is good colour, and I'm not just saying that because I'm Dutch.

There are dreams lost in the stars

Cozy Hearth's Warming

She's technically correct, it's one way to warm your hearth.

Snow Sprout

GreyScale "Noirvember" Pack

Been a weird/different month, all greyscale. Here's all the HighRes and WIPs in one go.My personal favourite (besides the Applejacks) might be the 'Harbinger of Laments'. That depth of field was fun to do, I rarely have a good idea where I can push it as strong as that where it just feels like it works.Altho, 'Inward Depths' was fun too, making the half submerged camera worked ...

Hitch and his Cragadilady

Hitch gets all the critters, big and small. No matter what costume he wears.With his perfect mane...And his shredded abs...Don't even mention his mortgage!That cragadillady tho... I need to practice painting rocks as much as I do fabrics, because figuring out how her body was supposed to look like got tricky. And I had to figure out how I'd do it as well lol. Probably took me the longest t...

Witch of the Woods

I suppose it's fair enough to also give Izzy a costume.

Nightmare Nights at Home

I suppose my headcanon is that they'd "secretly" celebrate Nightmare Nights, keeping it alive in a tiny pocket. Assuming NMN isn't really maintained elsewhere all things considered.This painting, tho, trying to find that anatomical style balance slightly between the movie and my own.

Sunny Costumes

Quick little costume tries, before I commit one of them to a full painting.She gonna have Nightmare Nights at home!If there's any remnants of NMN left, it's probably at their place right?!

Purple Drape

Time-Lapse: https://youtu.be/QHiHu6FpvNsFabrics are maybe one of my longest fascinations of things to make in art. I latched onto it quite early on, but there's quite a lot to it so I'm still not quite there yet I think. I am finally feeling like I get the hang of making drapery from imagination (no references).Of course the material itself and its colours are a big part of it as well. Foc...

Little Izzy Raincoat

Finally, here she is! With some alternatives for y'all.Next step to prepare the commissions with these as reference point.

Old Memories

Time-Lapse: https://youtu.be/R8srbL7TpR8I often end up back at the more somber genre, but this one hopefully adds a bit of a different angle to it I haven't done before. At least... not exactly like this.This was quite an interesting project with several layers. I haven't made monotone paintings in years, mimicking an old photo in this detail I hadn't done yet (but wanted to), and it b...

Little Puddle

What if that puddle in "Little Raincoat" wasn't so little...

Little Tempest Raincoat

Y'all voted for her, now you gotta put up with this little angerhorse.

Launching the Discord server! + new Discord Tier

Yay! Let's start this new chapter. Different way of communicating a bit more direct now open. The basics should be there, but adjustment and additions can always be made!New tier "Small Banaan" available for basic Discord Access. The normal "Banaan" tier has extra channels for their extra exclusive benefits.If your pledge is tied to a tier with Discord benefits and you got your...

Next Little Raincoat Pony?!

Another taste of polls, with more choices now.

Big updates? Overhauling my Patreon, A Discord Server, general what's going on and plans.

Hey y'all!These last months have held a lot of different things on my mind, and I've been in need to re-organize and re-prioritize some of it. I've been getting overly occupied with administrative, legal, and bureaucracy situations that I'm breaking my head on and are just draining me. But I realized maybe I'm putting the carriage before the pony... timing wise at least. There&...

Little Raincoat

Have an exclusive early access one before I throw this one in public at an hour I think might be best for social media... or something lol.Little slice of life Applejack, one of those ideas that just pops up and... you gotta make it happen, see if it works. Quick little one, style throwing back to those few that gave 'Norman Rockwell' vibes last year. Such as the aptly called "Slice of...

Zipp n Pipp

So y'all did the vote to choose between these two, but the vote was so close I just made both of em...Did maintain my plan to apply their designs to one of my older existing styles, instead of mimicking G5's. I wanted to see how that'd turn out.For their face structures I specifically went for Rarity and Fluttershy. For the hair I took a lighter inspiration from my more recent Heart in...

Imalou Pre-Birthday Stream (June 25th 9PM UTC+2)

Yay folks, got another Pre-Birthday Stream with good friend coming up. Not for my birthday this time but instead for (and joined by!) @ImalouArtWe'll have some fun, art, talks, counting down to midnight celebration!Friday June 25th 9PM (UTC+2)https://picarto.tv/AssasinMonkey

Zipp Pipp [WIPP1]

Art has admittedly been a bit slow this month (Some stuff that kept me busy will need its own post soon). Here's a brief update on the current project based on the recent poll. Yes... their votes were close enough I simply decided to just put em together and make both. Because after all, they are sisters right?!I previously already made a WIP for just Pipp, but decided to start from scrap to i...

Mermay in the Apple's Fjord [RAW Timelapse]

Time lapse for this painting HighRes here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/mermay-in-apples-51727252Oof, I let this one on the back burner a bit too long, as I was considering finding some music and such for it (proper copyright, etc.). While I may still do that if I throw this one out to the public, here's at least the part that makes it a time-lapse in the first place. I do feel like my portra...

Pipp or Zipp

I've been scripting a Silent Auction Google Form

... yeah, what the title says, and I've been spending way too many hours already haha. Or maybe just enough, because it might just be useful?!Bit of technical talk below, but I would also be interested in hearing some feedback or ideas for info/questions Auctions typically have if anyone has done/filled in some before. I still gotta make myself a list of what to link or how/where (such as arti...
