Monty WIP
him smol
The Power Of God And Anime
edit: added smoky's extremely professional reaction"Alright, agent, have it your way. No more fun and games."Monty is PISSEDafter a few people politely pushed to see that "buff manly-manly" Montezuma I'd previously considered drawing, I decided to cave, because y'all know i love drawing muscles(best believe i referenced from DBZ)Monty likes to think of himself as being ...
NEW: IAD! Draft Pages 3-8
mo pages! included the pages i already posted for ease of readingskyla likes to dig herself into a hole, then grab a shovel and keep digging
IAD! Draft Pages 3-4
Some all y'all have been asking to see sketch preview pages, and I know Loryska does so for patrons of her comic. I was hesitant to do so myself, but I see now that (hopefully), it'll be a good way to get feedback from you guys so I can iron out bugs before drawing the actual pages, and a nice way to provide y'all with steady story content throughout the (slow) comic-making process. Th...
'Nother Comic Style Test
minimal shading, simple background, easier to finish quickly....i'm getting closerrrhave some gross ladies flirting, not especially related to the IAD storyline. I mentioned before that unicorns (especially those of nobility) find rivalry really, really, reallyyyy romantic, like the pinnacle of courtship. Thus Luna was smitten with Tempest the moment Tempest dropped her ass like a sack of pota...
IAD! Page 2: Opportunity Knocks
A swing and a miss~Previous PageWell this only took a goddamn millennium. This page definitely got away from me. I think y'all are gonna see a steady style shift in the comic as I learn how to draw it more simply and efficiently. Anyway I can't believe Skyla fucking died
Talk Nerdy To Me
"Ah, yer Highness, but you've left out a key piece of Frost's intention in 'Dust of Snow' -- the ending reconciliation with the narrator's understanding of life and death," Trouble pointed out, almost off-handedly. "The snow an' the hemlock tree are meant to be 'bout death, sure, but that some part of the rued day bein' saved by th' beauty of nature,...
Pretty Boy Self-Care
"And then she had the audacity to call me a petty bitch! Me! So then I said, would a petty bitch push you off the side of this mountain? Anyway, uh......that's how the Canterlot Cat Burglar ended up in prison with two busted legs, just in case your agency was wondering what happened."got a couple mild complaints about montezuma's design being too feminine, or that he should just be...
The Day Is Saved
colored that one doodlei imagine Montezuma got all fancy to attend a posh gallery opening (to scout for stuff to steal). Smokescreen is covertly tailing him when a random new villain crashes the party, seizing a relic so that he may use it as a doomsday device. Smoky and Monty are forced to team up to evacuate the frightened party attendees, take down the cultist, and blow up the relic moments bef...
Wrong Choice
edit: made some art tweaks~So this would be how Smokescreen and Montezuma first met.Monte stole the Sapphire Stone from Daring Do's private collection (along with a number of other priceless relics.....and he might've also burned down his childhood home), and special agent Smokescreen was tasked with retrieving the plundered treasures and bringing Montezuma to justice. Smokescreen easily p...
Love Bites (WIP)
what's a little nibble between best buddies
Lecture
half of Smokescreen's brain: first of all how dare u you're not my mother i am a professionally trained agent of the government i am a honed blade gripped by the hand of my nation i don't need food or sleep this is belittling NO i should break your smug pretty faceother half: nap sound gud
Sleepy Cozy
i see y'all requested monster cuddlesthe bois after a long day. possibly related to my last doodle of them teaming up to save the world.....after all that terror, both (mostly Monty) are maybe a little reluctant to sleep alone.
Boyfrenemies (WIPs)
sketechesssfirst 3 are of a scenario where i imagine smokescreen and montezuma had to team up to stop a cult leader from using an ancient relic as a doomsday device. Montezuma fully expected to be able to resolve the situation peacefully, but the cultist was unshakable in his belief that he'd been chosen to bring about the end of the world. Ultimately, Smoky and Monty were only just able to ta...
Hey Stupid, It's Cold Outside
i'm still working on IAD!, promise (in fact i've just begun my spring break, so i'll finally have more time for comic-making), buuuut currently my brain is saying draw some idiot boisMontezuma gets cold pretty easily, but he's not gonna let something like frostbite get in the way of wearing crop tops. Ahuizotl has gotten him many a sweater.....and Monty grabs scissors and crops the...
Monty Mom and Pop
hooomansahuizotl's big dumb weird head presented an interesting challenge to translate into a human designwhen i posted the montezuma voice test on deviantart i got a small handful of people suggesting alternative voice actors....some of which, perplexingly, were Spaniard men, or white British dudes. But Montezuma is a pretty strongly racially-coded character, it's baked into his whole bac...
Montezuma Voice Test
well hey uh here's something i've never done beforeenough people asked about montezuma's "deep voice" and what voice actor i had in mind for him that i got curious myself! I have zero experience putting drawn frames to sound but i just HAD to try. Pretty excited about the end result, and the potential to do future voice tests! In the meantime, enjoy monty being a melodramatic b...
Villainous Monologue
montezuma note to self: always remember to use a gag when your nemesis has goddamn acid spit
Go Away Pandora
was practicing sillier expressions....here's one i liked~

Redo: Gonna Marry That Mare

Preview: You Are Filled With Determination
i'm sorry y'all had to find out this way that skyla is actually fucking insane
Preview: Just Knock
skyla wouldn't be part of the sparkle family if she wasn't prone to paralyzing anxiety
Pick Yo Peachy
Playing around with how Peachy's mane will look in the comic. Which way do you like best?
IAD: Love Is In The Air (Sketch Preview)
Me, drawing page 1: ho ho comic making is so fun! i love this!! why did i ever bother writing stories when i could've been drawing comics???Me, realizing page 2 requires bird's eye perspective, something i've never fucking drawn before: what. the fuck. comic making is oppressing me and i am going to SUE(in all seriousness, comic making is still pretty fun~)

IAD! Preview 2-Floriography
pffft y'all gonna get this comic panel by panel at the rate i'm goin(jk, only page 1 is drawn this detailed, just cuz it's the first page and i couldn't resist drawing pretty ponies for the official debut)Besides hairdressing, Magnolia May moonlights as a florist. A somewhat nosy, love advice-dispensing florist. I imagine when Skyla asked which flowers were best for a casual date i...

Talk Nerdy To Me (WIP)
drawing polyshipping because i have no impulse controlthe punchline here is that Troubleshoes is dropping some profound literary hot take that Twilight didn't at all expect from a....humble fellow like himself. Buuut I'm having trouble thinking of Trouble's oh-so-clever literary analysis, because it's hard to write clever characters when my college degree came from a box of cracker...
Just Your Luck
I've been working out a lot this week, and I like to have netflix on in the background while i build mah buns. Yesterday I happened across the MLP episode with the Appleloosa character Troubleshoes Clyde, who is such an absolute delight I wondered why I'd never drawn him before. Coincidentally, someone pointed out that in my Twicord stuff, I named a few characters that Twilight dates outsi...
