Jezendar‘s Nocturne Star, because Nocturne’s a cool guy and Jez is always drawing Dusky/Flusky. Nocturne is a train-maintenance pony and as this is my first time drawing him, I figured what better way to break in than to show him going off to do the thing he loves?
With the previous night’s aftermath largely behind them, Dusky, Ivory and Blaze plan their next move. But can they pull themselves together when their foe is already several steps ahead of them? Find out in the latest chapter of The Necromancer’s Ambition!
With the Lunar New Year coming up and the year flipping over to the year of the horse, there’s really no way I couldn’t do something for it. So I took a crack at coming up with another new design to adapt the traditional dress from human to pony. Though it may be a bit early, Dusky’s all enthused and ready to go, so why wait? Onward to horses!
Well, this is a little late, since I somehow missed that the counter ticked over a bit back. I got some Copics for Xmas, so as per tradition, I took them for a spin by drawing Twi. Unicorn!Twi because as a watcher celebration pic, I kind of wanted to take this back to its roots (plus dorking out!Twi is the only adequate portrayal of my enthusiasm).
Way back in season 1, the scene where she jumps around going “YESYESYESYESYES!” is part of the reason I even considered drawing ponies. I didn’t actually do a rendition of it until a bit later (after I’d gotten a bit of a handle on how equine anatomy works), but Cutie Mark Chronicles will always hold a special place in my heart. So I figured it was appropriate to come back and give it an updated go.
Anyway, thank you, everyone who watches me anywhere, for taking the time to look at my stuff! 🙂
With the bandit camp behind them, Dusky and Blaze head for the rendezvous point. Though safety is within reach, it is not the same as peace. What hidden trials await the young mares? Find out in the next chapter of The Necromancer’s Ambition!
Snowbutt loves snow! A goofy little picture featuring Invidlord‘s Night Flurry for his birthday.
So without spoiling much, I saw Frozen and after seeing enough of Elsa, I couldn’t get this out of my head.
After neglecting my Premier coloured pencils for a bit, I decided they needed more love, so I broke them out for this. It’s a bit hard to tell, because scanner, but the set has a lovely duo of sky and snow blues and I gave those a go for the air. Also, humans are hard. Especially ones posed to be partly crouching and partly leaning down while wearing a dress. It was really hard to not make her just look like a head and limbs attached to a blob of green. 
For those with extra interest in Ivory, her (ongoing) story can be found here.
I’ve been in so many tough situations, I think it would be hard to choose. Although, sometimes I get the impression that the most dangerous thing to myself is myself.

Another master sheet for the questions I’m answering on Ask Dusky Down. Come ask me questions!
Dusky has freed Blaze from the bandits’ prison, but was discovered in the process. Can the two mares find their way to safety? Find out in the latest chapter of The Necromancer’s Ambition!
This is a ink-only version of this older drawing. Unfortunately, my binary black and white skills don’t seem to be quite up to par with my greyscale. It’s partly for that reason that I didn’t ink over the original. I grabbed some tracing paper and basically redid it. Surprisingly enough, when I started inking the traced sketch, the ink didn’t bleed through, despite the tracing paper being very thin.
This version was done to be used for one of those custom wooden phone case things where the software apparently hates greyscale.
