Codex Starscream of Terror

Sun, 29 Jul 2012 13:38:38 PDT

After a discussion between the two, I decided to do a homage to the Codex: Eye of Terror cover art ( [link] ) in the form of Starscream, who always strikes me as the Abaddon to Megatron's Horus.

And with that, I'm back after my month long traveling. ^^

Terezi Eats A Tooney

Colorized a sketch done by . Was fun!

APBP Mashup 1: The Colour of the Rainbow Factory

Mon, 23 Apr 2012 22:28:22 PDT

The first of the As Present By Ponies Poster Mashups.

The first is Rainbow Factory, mixed with a certain story.

In about a day I'll edit and put the merged title of the story and clarify it in this blurb, but until then the first person to deduce the story this was merged with gets a request to make.

This should be one of the easier ones, good luck!

Edit: H.P. Lovecraft's the Colour out of Space.

Guess the next one will have to be easier! See you tomorrow night!

Changeling OCs

Sun, 22 Apr 2012 18:35:37 PDT

Some OCs turned to Changelings, because of a tweet that caused the idea to scream 'make this'.

Featuring

Queen Chrysalis - Changeling Queen

Sat, 21 Apr 2012 14:25:26 PDT

Upon seeing this character's design, had to do fanart for them. Right bucking now. So I did.

APBP 29: The Shining

Fri, 13 Apr 2012 16:35:25 PDT

While watching this scene of the Shining, all I could think of was this Nicolas Cage video ( [link] ) ... so this happened.

Side note, first use of the Cakes in my comics. Well, on screen anyways.

APBP 28: Santa Claus Conquers the Martians

Tue, 10 Apr 2012 20:23:18 PDT

Why does this movie exist? No really. It exists.

If you've heard of it, it's probably from Mystery Science Theater.

I still am not sure why I had it in my movie library. Yes. I own this movie for some reason.

APBP 27: American Psycho

Fri, 06 Apr 2012 18:15:15 PDT

Another darkish one. Hmmm.

This one took forever, just not feeling great today. =/ Ah well.

APBP 26: The Thing

Wed, 04 Apr 2012 19:07:22 PDT

*Very* different from previous comics. For one, this is the first that takes place on Earth instead of whatever ponified Hollywood Equestria the others exist in.

And two, technically has no real ponies. Go figure. Does that make this a misnomer? Ah well.

Could the Thing mimic a Pony? Well, it doesn't have to worry about being a perfect copy, so I don't see why not. It certainly seemed fine with guesswork and improvisation in dispatching Base 31.

If you've not seen the 1982 "The Thing", you need to. Do it now. Go!

And no, I will never be addressing the 2011 version. That's all there is to say about the matter.

Early Morning Frustration Sketches

Tue, 03 Apr 2012 07:31:21 PDT

The computer did finally stop acting strange. Still don't know what was up with that, Big MaCaligula sabotaging my computer seems as good a theory as any.

Maybe I can get some work done now.

APBP 25: Inception

Mon, 02 Apr 2012 20:09:01 PDT

Ok, this went waaaay off from the source material. Ah well, while it doesn't match my initial script at *all* it seemed to just end up this way. Go figure.

SANITY Poster Sketch

Sun, 01 Apr 2012 17:10:42 PDT

Caligula is here to make sure your vote counts.

He stands for:

1) Raising wages for the legions.
2) (censored)
3) Ruining the Senate's plans
4) (censored)
5) Killing all his allies
6) (censored)
7) (censored)
8) (censored)
9) (censored)
10) Anti-censorship.

AWAKEN Poster Sketch

Sun, 01 Apr 2012 17:07:17 PDT

Why waste your vote when the great Cthulhu could awaken at any time and consume the world in eternal darkness?

Vote Cthulhu - because if you don't, he'll rule anyways.

AWKWARD Poster Sketch

Sun, 01 Apr 2012 17:05:25 PDT

Speaking of favorite things, here's one of my favorite awkward roles - David Bowie's Thomas Jerome Newton from "The Man Who Fell To Earth".

Go watch it.

HERESY Poster Sketch

Sun, 01 Apr 2012 16:13:33 PDT

Been a while since I did any 40k art, and this ended up happening while sketching.

The Chaos Codex supposedly is coming out relatively soon. Wish it were sooner, so tired of the current rules for em. =/

APBP 24: Resident Evil/Biohazard

Sat, 31 Mar 2012 20:43:24 PDT

Another background ponies comic with the background character we don't give any thought to in the Resident Evil games: the guards who were supposed to be keeping those labs under control. I wonder if this ever crossed their minds. Ah well.

Still, loved the initial games, the voice acting was so hilarious it warranted playing.

APBP 23: The Blues Brothers

Thu, 29 Mar 2012 20:37:06 PDT

So many good quotes from this movie, so many.

Challenge: Can you find a use for one each day for a week?

>.>

<.<

Side note: 200k profile page views! (Give or take)

Thanks so much for reading so far!

APBP 22: Zombieland

Tue, 27 Mar 2012 20:50:06 PDT

Another comic that requires no costumes as it's not so much characters playing the roles as zombies in equestria.

And more of a 'ponies being awesome' comic than usual. >.>

Zombies are gray, because reasons!

30 Minute OC Sketch Break

Mon, 26 Mar 2012 16:09:40 PDT

Took a quick break from planning out comics and sketched out some OCs while looking at twitter and wishing I was eating dinner. lol

Sorry for the questionable proportions.

Featuring:

Thinking this will be a regular exercise when I'm running out of steam.

Back to work.

APBP 21: Alien

Sun, 25 Mar 2012 19:21:16 PDT

Background ponies edition!

Yeah, dark one here (visually anyways). Intentional.

Guess I should change the Poll on the profile page now... lol

APBP 20: Return of the Jedi

Sat, 24 Mar 2012 00:08:53 PDT

At some point during the silly Endor celebration, someone must have brought this up.

Fortunately, we have Super Kami Guru to tell them what for:

"Every party needs a pooper, that's why they invited you."

Note: It's late as I'm uploading this, and there's probably something I've forgotten.... ah well, I'll deal with it when I wake up.

Ponyville Ghostbusters Poster

Thu, 22 Mar 2012 22:45:14 PDT

Done by request for using these references: [link] and [link]

I don't own the OCs, nor am I terribly sure who they are (and admittedly the colors I used are guesswork from looking at the papercraft).

More cartoony than previous posters, I really should purchase Sai so I can get it working again...

APBP 19: The Dunwich Horror

Fri, 16 Mar 2012 16:18:18 PDT

This was meant to go up yesterday, but I ended up not being home! Makes it hard to work on it. So here it is today.

For more H.P. Hoofcraft goodness, go here: [link]

Ask this mare questions!

Good Morning Cake - Happy Birthday to John Joseco

Wed, 14 Mar 2012 22:49:14 PDT

Made for John Joseco's birthday. Because reasons! And because I thought this idea was somewhat amusing.

Oh yeah! Not that you need me to point you to him, but here:

APBP 18: Halloween III - Season of the Witch

Wed, 14 Mar 2012 13:12:05 PDT

I was tempted to save this for a Halloween special... but there's tons of other options and I've wanted to do this comic since I made the poster for Season of the Pinkie ( [link] ).

Le gasp! They are not wearing clothes. I didn't feel it was necessary to costume the character this time. They fit their roles well without.

APBP 17: Dragon Ball Z: Broly the Alicorn

Tue, 13 Mar 2012 09:41:59 PDT

That was pretty much my reaction when I realized Broly wasn't some stupid fanfic character. The whole movie plays like a poorly written fanfic though. How appropriate.

I've nothing against the new Princess Cadence character, but who else could play someone as detrimental to the (already fragile and hard to take) importance of Super Saiyens than Princess "The Third Alicorn" Cadence?

APBP 16: Dark Star

Mon, 12 Mar 2012 14:09:30 PDT

Oh hoho.... getting pretty damn obscure here. Was watching the movie and had the need to make a comic on it. Like.. right the **** now. So I did.

Also, reorganized the strips in the gallery, splitting stand alones and storyline.

Delayed Due to Ork Genocide

Wed, 29 Feb 2012 13:37:46 PST

Quick explanation for a quick picture: So I was recently gifted with Warhammer 40k Space Marine. It's not a great game, but the Exterminatus mode (survival Co-op, which I love) is addictive as hell if you have a good group of friends to do it with.

And because I'm the crazy kind of person who did things like play Dead Rising 2 to kill 72,000 zombies, I'm of course going for killing 40,000 enemies in this. It's even better when counting it like a certain vampiric count. AH! AH! AH! AH!

If you would like to pester me to get back to work when you catch me slacking (or join me), feel free to poke my steam account Big MaCaligula. >.>

Vector Experiment 1: OC Shiki

Thu, 23 Feb 2012 16:18:38 PST

While taking a break from other projects, made a simple vector for my OC. It makes me kind of sad how bad I am at it. -_- Practice makes perfect, and I've almost no practice with this style.

Ah well! Back to work.

Evernight over Everfree

Wed, 15 Feb 2012 15:34:15 PST

Nothing to do with movies. Or games. Or books. Nothing. At all. WAT?!?!

Ever get an itch that you need to scratch or you go mad? Okay.

That itch was making a picture of Nightmare Moon. You don't get those? Oh... well then.

*goes to corner*

APBP 15: Hearts and Hooves Caligula Special

Sun, 12 Feb 2012 17:59:45 PST

Caligula briefly revisted for the holiday. And I've started one of those Ask tumblrs, for more MaCaligula joy. Maybe.

[link]

Go ask stuff, for one panel comicy goodness.

A Nightmare on Stirrup Street Poster

Fri, 10 Feb 2012 15:59:29 PST

Hatcha! Thank you Ticket Master for mentioning a street in Ponyville. You didn't *show* it, but I'll take what I can get!

Based on the poster for A Nightmare on Elm Street.

Edit: Initially way too dark. Fixed!

20 Percent More Die Hard Poster

Fri, 10 Feb 2012 10:54:00 PST

Dashie is here giving you your impetus for more Bruce Willis.

Based on the poster for Die Hard.

Only one poster left to do. Here we go!

The Sweetie Bot Poster

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 16:05:29 PST

Ok, this one was going to be a Friendship is Witchcraft reference. There's no two ways around it. It totally was. The whole time.

More free advertising for them: [link]

Based on the movie poster for The Terminator!

The Blank Dead Poster

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 14:02:56 PST

Ah Story of the Blanks. You make this possible.

Based on the poster for Sam Raimi's "The Evil Dead".

Though Luna is playing Ash in APBP, Lyra would be my first choice for an actual ponification of the Evil Dead movies.

Star Trot II: The Wrath of Trixie Poster

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 00:51:53 PST

Took quite a few liberties on the title presentation here. I just couldn't stand the way the title reads on the actual poster. Personal taste, but hey, who's the artist here? Uhh...

Anyways, based on the poster for Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.

Did this, start to finish, watching ToxicMario's livestream. [link]

Edit: Added the tagline. Because at 3 am, you forget things like that.

Full Metal Dress Jackets Poster

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 20:12:02 PST

Simple poster, this. But so was the original, and I didn't want to explode it with a lot of extra. Then it would be less an homage.

Based on the movie poster for Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket.

Some references to Friendship is Witchcraft return, so go watch them if you get the chance and haven't already: [link]

The Parasprite Poster

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 17:56:20 PST

Based on the poster for the movie "The Fly".

Jeff Goldblum at his best. Seriously, while he usually plays the same role over and over, when it works it works. And here, it's magic.

The Fly, along with Night of the Living Dead (the 1990 version) is a great example of when a remake can be as good, if not better, than the original.

H.P. Lovecolt's Luna - Animator Poster

Fri, 03 Feb 2012 20:38:38 PST

I enjoyed making Luna into a life bending mad scientist way more than I should. First Oogiemare Moon and now this?

Based on the film poster for Re-Animator

Lyrical excerpt from "Nightmare Night" by WoodenToaster and Mic the Microphone. [link]

Ghostbusters: Friendship is Supernatural Poster

Thu, 02 Feb 2012 21:57:43 PST

Not content with how this turned out, but if I don't move on I won't do anything else. >< Onwards!

Based on the poster for Ghostbusters!

Nightmare Night III: Season of the Pinky

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 17:28:12 PST

Ok. You ever make a picture and think "Hmm... you know... this has the horrific potential to lead to Cupcakesesque fanfiction"?

Had one of those moments.

Nevertheless! Was fun!

Based on the poster for Halloween III: Season of the Witch

Raiders of the Lost Elements Movie Poster

Mon, 30 Jan 2012 15:42:51 PST

The first movie poster entry I've finished for Everfree Radio's 80s event. We'll see how many I can get done before the 12th.

Based on the movie poster for Raiders of the Lost Ark!

Edit: This was made before the teaser for Read it and Weep was released (and by extension the episode)... so yeah, I now wish I'd made Dashie as Indy. Ah well.

Shiki OC Pony

Thu, 26 Jan 2012 23:07:49 PST

Quick OC for my representation in the court of pony law. And to give Big Macaligula a rest. Not meant to look so much big as lanky, ah well.

Mark is paint brush crossed with a tablet stylus.

Spike Dragon: Chiller Album Cover

Thu, 26 Jan 2012 20:42:48 PST

Okay, this one was pretty obvious. But it was pretty obvious it had to happen as well. Using the 'teenaged' Spike from Secret of My Excess, as well as the awesome hat he got from Cheerilee.

Based on the Album Cover for Michael Jackson's "Thriller".

CMC: BUCK Album Cover

Wed, 25 Jan 2012 21:31:31 PST

The CMC were gonna be this or Kiss... and I've always been more an INXS fan than Kiss so here we go.

Based on INXS's album cover for "KICK".

Lavendar Fritter and the News Reel: Strike! Cover

Wed, 25 Jan 2012 15:58:34 PST

The 80s Album covers continue, this time with background ponies you've probably never given a second thought to. Appropriate I think for Huey Lewis and the News.

Based on Huey Lewis and the News's album "Fore!" cover art.

Lyra Heartstrings: Let's Stand Album Cover

Fri, 20 Jan 2012 23:13:26 PST

My fourth in one night, halfway through my initial ideas for my submissions. And Lyra returns once more as David Bowie.

Based on the David Bowie Album "Let's Dance" cover art.

Iron Pony: Nightmare of the Moon Album Cover

Fri, 20 Jan 2012 20:56:02 PST

I'm not sure why I went for this style for this. But for some reason I didn't feel like the almost colored pencil style used in actual Iron Maiden album covers.

Can't say I don't like how it turned out, though.

Based on the album cover of Iron Maiden's "Number of the Beast"

Trixie: No Cape Required Album Cover

Fri, 20 Jan 2012 17:34:56 PST

The second album cover for Everfree Radio's 80s themed event.

Based on Phil Collin's Album Cover Art for "No Jacket Required".

You should go watch American Psycho now.

Derp N Roses: Appetite For Muffins Album Cover

Fri, 20 Jan 2012 15:25:47 PST

My first Album Cover made for Everfree Radio's 80s theme event.

Based off Guns N Roses' "Appetite for Destruction" Album cover.

The Mare Who Fell To Equestria Poster

Thu, 19 Jan 2012 20:27:53 PST

This... this was fun. I finished this in abouut the amount of time it took to watch The Man Who Fell to Earth.

So in a similar vein to how Big Macintosh is used as all Malcolm Macdowell rolls, I think Lyra is getting all the David Bowie ones. Because.

Luna Poster

Thu, 19 Jan 2012 10:05:38 PST

I decided to actually make this into a small poster. It is also my experimenting with more brush types. Enjoy!

APBP: Saving Marshal Apple Daniels part 7

Sun, 15 Jan 2012 14:46:57 PST

So, I think the six panel format works better. It takes a lot less time to make an update. But what have we learned from this? That Celestia doesn't take no **** from robots.

Putting an appearance is the Trixie from fanfiction as opposed to the show, who probably would be running away from the robots.

Edit: Accidentally made the Hair stars/sparkles in the Princesses' hair invisible! Fixed.

APBP One Panel: Same Voice Actress Shipping

Wed, 11 Jan 2012 23:53:39 PST

The 20th comic is taking quite a bit longer than anticipated (owing to length), so to tide off until I finish it later today (after I get some sleep) here's a panel with different text boxes to take the whole thing out of context. Because I can.

APBP: Saving Marshal Apple Daniels part 6

Sat, 07 Jan 2012 20:53:14 PST

What, you expected Discord to explain the villain? That'd be too soon. And be even more exposition. Pass. Though you can probably figure out the obstacles to come now, if not the solutions.

This took waaaay longer than it should have, thanks to the joys that is 'new tablet giving me fits'. Oh well, 20th comic (well... technically maybe 22nd?) is next, and it's a long one. See you then!

Seattle Sketch: The Mare Who Fell To Equestria

Sun, 01 Jan 2012 20:21:24 PST

Lyra Heartstrings stars as an extra terrestrial out to save her planet from a horrible drought, but will she succumb to vice, fame, and hedonism in this new land? Find out, in THE MARE WHO FELL TO EQUESTRIA!

Definitely gotta do this poster when I'm back in town.

Seattle Sketch: Luna Poster Concept

Sun, 01 Jan 2012 20:18:08 PST

Another poster concept done while I'm sketching. Luna in a more complicated outfit than normal (probably a Rarity work).

Seattle Sketch: Celestia Poster Cencept

Sun, 01 Jan 2012 20:15:56 PST

Seattle trip is nearly over, but I still put some time to practice.

This, the Luna Poster, and the Mare Who Fell To Equestria will probably be worked on more when I return to Houston. Until then, the concepts go up!

Seattle Sketch: John Egbert

Sat, 31 Dec 2011 12:52:13 PST

John Egbert in his god tier outfit. From Homestuck.
