Melted Dog

When it comes to her hug someone is normal, but when someone hugs her, she acts like a angry cat xD

This one's for you, Lightwing

dA link if you want it

I claim Treble c:

For Sleepy Hollow, her reference picture is in my signature.

Well, this seems good!

I'll send it Sleepy Hollow. She's in my signature.

When I was younger I had a sentient dog hanging around in my mind.

Hey! I would love to grab a slot. Its so great you are doing these for free! They are very cute.

 

I have never actually requested anything before, so I dont have any OC refs. I sketched this one up really quick, but my phone is broken and I have to use my tablet, so it is very low quality. Colors are included on side. I hope it is still feasible.

The cutie mark is a sakura flower. Sorry for my bad drawing.

 

Since the tail is not included, feel free to do whatever you want. The scarf is not needed, but if you want to do it, a seafoam green color would be nice. (socks would also be really cool, but I feel like that's asking too much.)

 

Here is the doggo picture:

thanks a ton in advance! I really like your art.

Here it is! Sorry for the extremely long wait, hope ya don't mind!

@Melted Dog, here is your story.

 

 

 

 

The One That Got Away

by Randimaxis

 

The stallion and I stood there in the circle of light cast by the lamp above us.

 

The street was deserted, thanks to the rain, and I’d managed to arrange a meeting here. It had been quite a feat, bringing the pieces of this particular case together like they had – I’d even had my life put in jeopardy – but nothing escaped my inquisitive gaze, and the light of evidence shone brightly on this one individual.

 

When he stepped into the circle, I’d already figured out what was going on. It had taken a week of diligent effort; I’d barely slept a wink during the whole of it, and was doing my utmost best to make certain I was wide awake for this. I’d need ALL my faculties straight to deal with this.

 

He stepped in closely, a look of simple interest on his muzzle.

 

“And so, we meet all the way out here?  Seriously, Miss Hollow, we could have met somewhere a little less… wet? But you said you had figured out where the portrait was – and here I am, ready to retrieve it. So please, by all means… let’s have it.”

 

I smiled; this was going to be interesting.

 

“Well, according to the facts you’d sent me, the portrait of Luna was nearly a thousand years old, commissioned by Celestia to help ease the burden of having to send her sister off into exile. It’s worth a solid fortune in bits, and there are a number of thieves who have attempted to pinch it over the years. However, not a one has ever been successful until now.”

 

The stallion sighed and rolled his eyes. “Yes, yes… do go on.”

 

I’d been expecting more of a reaction; the curator, Shelf Display, had been supposedly here for over a decade, though he had rarely been seen in public. He was known for making certain that every priceless artifact in his care was completely secure – it was certain that he’d wanted to maintain that reputation, which was why he’d hired me in the first place.

 

“When you contacted me, you’d said that you suspected somepony had already gotten it out of the gallery by now. You stated that you’d searched everywhere you could reach for it, correct?”

 

He cocked an eyebrow in question.

 

“Well, normally one would assume that would mean you also got some help to search where you couldn’t reach as well… but I assume NOTHING, Mr. Display. I searched the area as well… despite the guards’ insistence that I stay away from it. And I have to admit, the thief was quite clever; nopony else would have even noticed that the new light setup had an extra wall panel where the fusebox was… since that was where the portrait was hiding.”

 

He looked surprised; of course he did – they ALWAYS did.

 

“The thief had made a slipcover for the painting that made the backside of it appear to be just another fusebox door – and it blended in perfectly with the other two in that same spot. The thief was simply going to wait for the investigation to grow cold, then he’d just pose as a repair pony and ‘fix’ the problem, leaving two fuseboxes, and no portrait.”

 

He looked at me with surprise, and more than a little respect.

 

“Why that’s… that’s brilliant, madam! He was simply going to wait until a more opportune time to filch it… and we’d have never been the wiser, eh? Well, done and done, then. Since the painting has been located, I shall be more than happy to have it retrieved and returned to its’ proper display case. As for the culprit-”

 

I cut him off there.

 

“Yes, the culprit. That was the thing that stumped me – I interviewed everypony else at the museum, and there wasn’t a single one of them who had even the slightest of designs on that portrait. Especially with the top-notch, state-of-the-art magical security system in place. Nopone wanted to even TOUCH it, let alone steal it. That was why the thief hid it within the museum itself – according to the files, if anything enchanted leaves the museum without permission, the stolen work emits a piercing shriek until it is returned.”

 

There was a bit of a spark in his eyes as he listened; he was really getting into the explanation.

 

Good.

 

“But like I said, I interviewed everypony else… except for YOU, Mr. Display.”

 

His eyes widened a bit – and I was glad to see it.

 

“You see, I also took enough time to look over the outgoing paperwork on your desk…”

 

That was a half-truth; I’d gone through the paperwork, yes… but only because I’d fallen out while I was in his office. I’d been lucky that nopony had found me there asleep, yet I’d had ample time to peruse the in and out boxes accordingly.

 

“… and YOU had recently put in the papers necessary to allow for something to leave the museum grounds – an old Trojan statuette, so it says – so you’d be the one who would get the special spell needed to nullify the security magic around the place.”

 

The stallion tried to back off, but I kept on the offense.

 

“This was going to be your plan to smuggle the painting out of the museum, wasn’t it? You were perfectly poised to be able to get the portrait, sneak it out of here, and then?”

 

I had him dead to rights; no turning back now. I went for the reveal.

 

”Well, what WAS your plan, Mr. Display... or should I say, Harcourt Blackwater?”

 

A slow smile began to spread across the stallion’s face, and he made a grand, sweeping bow as he stared me right in the eyes.

 

“Excellent job, Miss Hollow! I dare say that I am MOST impressed with your work; nopony else even came CLOSE to figuring me out. Might I inquire as to what tipped you off?”

 

I gave a grin of my own as I moved in nice and close, making sure that he couldn’t ditch me.

 

“First, NOPONY had ever laid eyes on Shelf Display before; that automatically placed you on the ‘suspicious list’.”

 

That had been the easy part, of course… except when I nearly fell asleep listening to ‘Mr. Display’ drone on; that had been a close one.

 

“Second, you seemed to have a bit of trouble with some of the particulars in your office when we first met; it occurred to me later that the specific troubles you were having were because you were in an office filled with right-hoofed items… and you are most certainly LEFT-hoofed – hence all the trouble.”

 

Also true – I had even done my research into Harcourt, and he most decidedly WAS left-hoofed.

 

“And third, I saw the copy of the security plans on your desk the other day, regardless of how you tried to hide them. If you had indeed been Shelf Display, then you would have already memorized the museum’s layout… especially seeing as Mr. Display has been working here for twenty years, one would think the security system would be one of the things a museum curator would have ALREADY memorized.”

 

Harcourt sighed as he closed his eyes.

 

“Well, I admit I honestly believed I’d had you stumped; far be it for me to have fooled such an intellectual equal… never mind her exquisite beauty.”

 

Celestia help me - was he HONESTLY going to attempt to charm me? He may have been a handsome stallion, but I was strictly single… and I have EVERY INTENTION of staying that way.

 

I raised a hoof before he could attempt to schmooze any further.

 

“Enough. Where is the REAL Shelf Display?”

 

I wasn’t too worried; according to this thief’s record, he wasn’t prone to hurting anypony, so I rationalized that he’d probably sent him elsewhere.

 

“Oh, Mr. Display received a very TIMELY sweepstakes win, and is currently soaking up the local culture in Canterlot – all expenses paid, you know. VERY nice thing for a hard-working curator to receive.”

 

He reached forward for my hoof, took it, and planted a kiss on it. I rolled my eyes.

 

“So this is where you arrest me, and I fall upon the tender mercies of the court, correct? Or perhaps I might possibly provide YOU with something delightful and worthwhile, madam?”

 

My smile returned as I slung the hoofcuff over the hoof he was using to hold my own.

 

“You already have… Harcourt Blackwater, you are under arrest for the theft of Princess Luna’s Royal Portrait!”

He stared at the contraption locked to his hoof, then simply put on a look that spoke volumes about how much of a care he didn’t give… which, knowing the criminal mind, meant he was probably terrified.

 

“Isn’t this lovely… I assume you mean to take me in yourself?”

 

“You bet your flank.”

 

He suddenly swept me up in an embrace, and dipped me rather low – if he thought he was gonna KISS me, he had another thing-

 

“My dear, you have LOVELY eyes.”

 

I was about to smash him in the muzzle, when he suddenly pirouetted hard, spinning rapidly, and stood me back on unsteady hooves.

 

“And I do hope they’ll be watching me for quite some time yet.”

 

I shook my head, doing my best to reorient myself… and, of course, by the time the world stopped spinning, I had an empty cuff hanging from my hoof.

 

“… crud.”

 

Well, the painting was located, the mystery solved, the culprit captured… eh, two out of three ain’t bad. Besides, it’d just get added to the thief’s already lengthy rap sheet; he’d slip up at some point, and the law would be all over him.

 

I hope I could be there to see the look on his face.

 

 

 

 

I do hope you like it.  

Wow, you're a good writer! I can only hope my art skills can compensate.

I haven't forgotten about this thread; I've simply been tending to other gardens.

 

(But this is STILL open!)

 

And @Melted Dog, I'm still working on a decent story idea... but I think I've got one, so I should be starting on it tonight.

I'm just finishing off the portrait!

MediBang Paint/FireAlpaca is good.

Hello! Seeing as your requests are open again, could I ask you to do Cyan Flare? There are more pictures on my profile! Thank you in advance, I love your work!image.gifimage.png

Edit: Sorry! I was in a rush for a second and forgot to add the dog picture. Here's a pic... of my own dog... image.jpeg

OP delivers.

(I'm practicing drawing front sided ponies, hope ya don't mind!)

That's pretty cool looking for her. But where's her other leg?

Behind her front hindleg XD

Now that requests are open again, are you able to do this OC for me? http://imgur.com/a/FJfRE

 

Here's a picture a dog that looks similar to the one that likes me. 

10/10 would hug dog

10/10 would draw again

@Melted Dog, I'll be happy to do so; allow me six to eight weeks, or a couple of days - whichever comes first.

All right, expect the portrait to come in around 2 weeks.

Hey! I would love to grab a slot. Its so great you are doing these for free! They are very cute.

thanks a ton in advance! I really like your art.

A notice that I might have to wing it with the tail, except if you could give me a quick sketch of her tail

Awwww!  @Melted Dog, Sleepy Hollow is adorable!   

 

I could do a short story for you starring her... and if you like, I'll even throw in a quarry character or two - just name who you'd like, if you're interested.

 

Otherwise, do you have any idea what you might want the general theme of the story to be?  Comedy?  Drama?  Horror?  Sci-Fi?  Infomercial?  The choice is yours!

Since she's a detective, maybe a noir-ish story?

The character can be whatever you like!

Well, there are two things I know:

1. I love your writing.
2. I love your Blackwater Quarry universe though I'm too intimidated to ever join the RP

​Having said that, I was thinking I could do a family portrait-like thing of the Blackwaters in exchange for a small story involving Sleepy Hollow (my OC who is in my signature).

I hope my offer can be considered!

Hmm think you could hit up my Rune?   Any pose is fine,  she tends to be a bit rough around the edges and has a few scars from fighting.

Dog:

This was a fun one to do bleh i hope you like the tail braid

Oooooh me pls.

 

Can ya draw my oc, Sweet Pen?

The pose can be her sleeping.

 

 

 

 

 

And a dog of course!

Finally got to yours. I hope she doesn't look too OOC. 

Hello! I am asking for someone to do my OC Damien Bolt like Sans from Undertale on the genocide run, with one eye glowing. If someone could work this I would greatly appreciate it.

Might do this if I have time and my other requests are done.

May I ask, though, what color would his eye be glowing?

 

Okay, this is adorable - why not?

 

 

 

 

 

The first one is for his expression; the second one has his cutie mark.

 

And, of course, here is your payment.

Thank you for your time, and I hope my payment is acceptable.  *bows*

 

 

Payment accepted. I hope this is suitable for you; I've never drawn a pickax before

.

Yes! I finally got a slot!

 

So here's my dog! (Well, not my dog but the same breed.)

 

And could I get this pony drawn?

Your request is done!

Just a heads up:

Due to some stuff, the requests will be delayed by 1 or 2 days. I don't want to rush this in what little free time I have because the drawings will look bad.

Hope you understand and forgive

Can you draw my OC, Dynamo Pad? 

I'm done!

I can't draw controllers or magic

@@Melted Dog,

 

Hast thou abandoned me?

 

Eh, just kidding, take your time.

 

Not sure how to continue this, though. Do I fix the door or what?

Hiya!

 

Is this open now >.>

'Cause I'm still slightly confused as to how you're doing this.

 

If it is open! Great! I shall find some doge memes to give you. But first, do you do multi-character drawings?

1. Yes, it's open! 

2. On multi-char drawings: maybe in a future batch. For now request them separately, I guess?

Hey there! Could I request a drawing of my OC please?

 

http://m.imgur.com/a/4S5Z9

(first image is just the color reference, please draw the OC as a MALE)

 

I'm not that great at R63ing ponies, but here it is!

I share with you my parents' rescue, Rio.

 

 

And request art of my OC, Blossom Heart. But I'd also like to draw one of your OCs! Art trade? (:

 

I finally fixed my brushes!

PS. You can't really see her coat gradients because of my shading style XD
