The next Falconry Chronicles page is coming, but it's gonna be a few days late. I'm still readjusting to schedules, and I have to be a bit more cautious than usual because my wrist has started hurting.

In the meantime, have this messy sketch:

The Princess of Decay

An MLP OC I came up with last month: the alicorn in charge of maintaining the cycle of death and regrowth in the face of a society that not only controls its entire ecosystem, but also possesses magic powerful enough to manipulate time. 

She isn't part of the governmental structure of Equestria, although she is an ally to the royal family, and prefers to work in solitude much of the time. Her duties include insuring that wildfires happen often enough to maintain a healthy ecosystem, making sure things grow back properly after natural disasters, keeping ponies from figuring out immortality spells, and repeatedly explaining that yes, carnivores are necessary.

She doesn't have a name yet because there are no synonyms for "decay" with positive connotations. I'd like to have her show up in Falchron at some point.

A sketch of Hela, the Norse goddess of death, and all the canines associated with her: Garmr, her guard dog; Fenrisulfr, her brother; and Narfi, her half-brother. Wow, it's been a while since I drew Norse myth characters, hasn't it?

(I've always pictured Garmr as a Rottweiler for some reason. Don't ask why.)



In other news: we are done with moving out now, which means I'll have time to draw Falchron again! I'll try to get a page out next Friday, although no promises--I haven't even figured out sleeping at a consistent time yet, so it's possible I won't be able to get into the swing of doing scheduled, non-packing things right away. And I still need to do layouts for the next few pages, and probably re-familiarize myself with the style after not drawing ponies for a few weeks.

(Seriously on the sleep thing. Since we left I've gone to bed at 1pm (after packing all night and driving all morning), 6pm,  and now it's looking like it's gonna be 4am. I think I drove myself to exhaustion so many days in a row that my body hardly even registers regular everyday tiredness anymore.)

One last Falchron filler sketch--this time the Falconress as a more realistically proportioned pony. (I hesitate to say she's wholly realistic, as she is still bright red with wings.)

Happy Friday! Have some more Falconry Chronicles filler content. Specifically a rough sketch of the Falconress doing some falconry.

Prince Albatross

An Albatross design--for the Operastalker universe, technically, but it works as a general-purpose one too.

The Falconress and her TARDIS

Since I posted that last page and my brain immediately went, "What? No, you're not allowed to stop drawing these characters." Which is probably a good sign for this project's long-term success.

Bonus: a sketch of a very wet Fleck

For those of you who don't know, since I think I have some siblings who are less familiar with Doctor Who lore than I am, Gallifrey's sky is orange. (Or it is when the writers aren't cowards)

IMPORTANT SCHEDULE-RELATED UPDATE: I'm moving, apparently! Which is great news, but it means that for the rest of the month I'm not going to have a lot of time for drawing, and especially not for the long, focused drawing sessions that these comic pages require. And since I never did manage to rebuild my backlog, that means I won't be able to update for the rest of the month. Probably don't expect a new page until July 7th, at the earliest.

EDIT: July 10th, actually. The 7th is a Tuesday and I have no idea why I picked that date.

Wings of Fire/The Phantom of the Opera?

Specifically, a crossover AU where the characters from Phantom are fused with the characters from Legends: Darkstalker, because my brain operates on a constant wavelength of "crossover fanfiction" and also there are some very nice character parallels.

Or: Darkstalker AU where Darkstalker hatched with a deformed face and all the magic is replaced with music and also everyone is French for some reason.

Please do click on the image to view it larger. I can't make it display any bigger without it bleeding out into the sidebar.

Before you ask, no, Fathom and Clearsight are not in love in this universe, and yes, this does give the Phantom a sister, and no, I don't know where Indigo is.

(Me: Ooh, I could make a comic out of this!
The sane half of me: You want to draw a comic set in the Paris Opera House? Have you seen that building?
Me: ...Okay, nevermind.)
