Rat's Saucy Nest

Because I enjoy it! Simple as that, haha. I draw what I like and I started drawing clop because I wanted to create things that don’t exist yet but that I’d like seeing. I remember that I wanted more AJ porn, but there wasn’t enough out there, so I just slowly started to draw my own!

And I think it’s the other way around, I didn’t start to draw clop with my ability, I gained my ability by starting to draw clop!

Oh yeh! I’m the same! And I’m so excited I found someone who agrees with me, haha. I always used the fork right-handed, even as a small kid, for exactly that reason. And my parents would always make fun of me for it while I was a kid. Switching the fork from left to right is the first thing I do if I sit down at a set table.

I’m pretty much self-taught. I, especially when I started out, watched a lot of art streams and read and watched a lot of tutorials. I tried to copy things other artists do and slowly adapted those methods into my own work flow. I used brush settings I saw online, but found out they don’t work that well for me, so I played around and switched things around until I was happy. I still change my brush settings and methods today on a regular basis. It’s always about adapting and finding new things that work better and that are more comfortable.

I also look at a lot of pictures in an active way, meaning when I see a picture (or even a photograph) I always identify what exactly I like about it, I look at shadows and shapes and try to recreate certain things in my mind. “How would I do this shading? How would I do this pose? How would I create this feeling? What colors do I like and what colors work here?” are things that go through my head. And if I really like something specific, like the way the head is done or the way they did the shading or something, I’ll try to incorporate that into my drawings and kinda put my own spin on it? A lot in art is about inspiration and finding your own style, find what you like and get inspiration from that, try to incorporate things you like into your art, sooner or later you’ll figure out what works for you and what doesn’t.

And most importantly: Draw. Draw a shit ton of stuff. It’s easy to read tutorials, watch some livestream and research things. But those things alone don’t make you a better artist. A lot of drawing will make you a better artist. I think it was Lauren Faust who said that everybody has 1,000 bad drawings in them, and they need to get them out before the good stuff starts to slowly emerge. Doodle whenever you can, draw whenever you have free time. And if you have some artist friends, ask them to redline and critique some of your drawings. That’s what helped me most out of all the things. Friends being honest and critiquing my stuff when I asked them and good artist friends redlining my sketches so I had a visual aid to what I could do better.

I want to take some art classes sooner or later, and I’m sure having some educational background about art is helpful, but no matter if you’re self-taught or not, you’ll always have to do your own research and figure some things out yourself, I think. But there definitely have been times where I wished that I was taught stuff like color theory or proper technique by someone without having to figure out things slowly by myself.

I’m not sure if I always used the left hand. But I know for sure, that when I was younger, I masturbated to a lot of stuff on the computer. And I was unable to handle the mouse with my left hand, so I remember that I thought it was pretty convenient that I masturbate with left. It leaves my right hand to browse the computer and stuff. So I suspect I just kinda taught myself to masturbate left-handed? To a point where I literally can’t masturbate with my right, because it just feels so off. The time I broke my left hand 3 years ago was a very frustrating time because of that.

How do you right-handed masturbators read porn or click through a gallery? All with hotkey use of the left hand? Left handed mouse use? What if you’re on a cellphone? I couldn’t use a cellphone with my left hand. I just don’t understand!

Sorry for tmi, but I got a lot of curios asks about the topic! I assumed it’s more common than it appears to be!

Left for masturbating, right for virtually everything else like drawing, writing, etc!

The way I see it, you found something you love so much that you want to live for it, in this case MLP. Now try to imagine how many things are out there, how many things that you will never, ever know even exist. There are countless pieces of art, books, movies, tv shows, songs, landscapes, animals, plants, activities and interests out there. For example, you could literally spend the rest of your life reading books and do nothing else and you still wouldn’t have read every book in existence. How many of those books that you’re gonna read do you think will touch you? With how many of those books will you fall in love? I’m pretty sure the odds are huge that there are hundreds, if not thousands of things out there that you want to live for. You just have to go find them.

If a certain aspect of a thing make you depressed, I’d try to ignore that part (in this case the fandom) as much as possible. I stopped reading certain forums or comments, because I just started to hate the community, for example. I’d try to fill the void that this leaves with something positive and new. Try out a whole bunch of new things, go read a book or start a new tv show, or go take up some classes at a community college or find a crazy hobby you might like. Chances are it won’t be long until you’ve found something else that makes you want to live. So you’ll have MLP plus this new thing, and can start to ignore the toxic and negative parts of MLP, since you’ll have something else that catches your attention.

I’m not sure if that made too much sense, I hope it did!

I feel honored that you decided to reach out to me and I’m really happy that you like my art. I love drawing for you guys, and I’m looking forward to draw a lot of art for a long time to come. 

Could you do me a favor and check out the following resources and talk to someone, please? https://www.tumblr.com/docs/en/counseling_prevention_resources

The world is your oyster right now! Go do something awesome, have fun and enjoy life. If you think life is not worth living anymore, that means there’s nothing holding you back anymore, do something you always wanted to do or just something crazy. Move across the country, go skydiving, drive to Vegas and bet everything you have on black, take out a loan and travel to the first country you see on a map, do some crazy shit and explore the world. 

The world is beautiful, it’s hard to see sometimes, I know, I’ve been there. But keep in mind, that no matter how dark it is right now, if you keep going one day you will look back at today and be thankful that you kept going. In ten years, today will just be a distant memory and you’ll be in a better place.

I turned 30 in July. So old :(

I think for me nothing comes even close to the warmth of an actual vagina. Not even considering all the other things that are going on in real sex. But everybody has different tastes and opinions, as long as you find something that you enjoy!

They don’t come close. I don’t see them as being a replacement or imitation of the real thing, but rather an addition to masturbation. They’re there to change up masturbation and make masturbating more interesting and diverse. They’re not there to replace real vaginas. A real vagina is very warm, contracts and tightens (you can kinda imitate that effect by squeezing down on the toys, but it’s not really comparable) is very slippery and just in general feels very different. Sorry, I’m sure that’s not what you wanted to hear but the toys are all pretty fun to masturbate with, but I can’t even start to compare them to the real deal. So it doesn’t matter too much which one you get, just get one that you think you’ll enjoy!

Damn, I forgot! Lemme change it, I’ll take the post down till it’s fixed.

Don’t worry, that’s a good question! I’m not really capable of drawing people yet. I tried a few times in the past, but in general I prefer feral things, because those are inside my comfort zone. But I do wanna expand to human/anthro slowly in the future!

Here’s an anthro OC of mine
Here’s Snow, from The Wolf Among Us
Here’s Elsa

And I think those are all the humans I’ve drawn in the last year and a half. I really should try more.

I stream pretty much ever Friday at noon PST on picarto! I also try to stream at random times during the week. This is my picarto channel: https://picarto.tv/RatofPoni

If you follow me on there, you’ll automatically get email notifications whenever I go online!

I’d assume pretty much the same as I feel about her owning toys of her own? She seemed intrigued when I showed her the Sugar Star. Plus I mean it’s nothing new for her, I’ve owned the Mary for years. And it’s not like you have to use sex toys all alone… :p

Afaik we’ll have multiple options available!

I’m out of town till Monday evening, so probably on Tuesday!

Oh, sure! I’ll do them as soon as I’m back home tomorrow!

Why do so many people think drawing porn is something shameful and something people break friendships (or even family relationships) up over it? Pretty much all of my real life friends know that I draw porn in some way or form, sure most don’t know details and I wouldn’t show them my stuff, but normal people usually don’t really care about something like that and aren’t judgemental assholes about it.

I’m not worried about someone I know finding my porn, because if someone really has issues with it (besides some light hearted teasing) they wouldn’t be someone I want to be friends with anyways. I don’t have room for toxic people in my life. 

People I know in real life have stumbled upon my porn blog before. Besides a bit of awkward smiling immediately after they asked me if it’s really me, absolutely nothing changed. After all, if you really find my porn that means you’re looking for it. And especially if you make the connection that I am the artist. That means that you read enough of my random posts about my personal life to make the connection to my real life persona and were a little bit more invested into it than just a random glance on a random website. And if that’s the case you have no justification for being judgemental anyways.

And if my future kids really find my porn and disown me over that, then I did a horrible job raising them.

Edit, courtesy of LIMW:
Does not apply to workplace/professional situations, obviously! Also not if you live with your parents and they would have massive issues with it.

Definitely! It’s just a question of time. I think I’ll do a pee edit for my next patreon picture, so there should be some pee very soon!

Which one? :D

But in general I’m not too invested in my OCs, they kinda bore me. I’m always drawn towards already existing and established characters!

Deal!

That’d be amazing. I wish they’d modeled the new bad dragon MLP themed toy more after Brae’s awesome art that they used!

I do! Hopefully sooner rather than later! I wish I were a faster artist. And I’m glad to hear I’m not alone!

Oh I forgot, I’m sorry! I’ll try to get it done soon! Feel free to remind me again in a week or so in case I forget again!

I think she likes cock too!

I know, right! The nerves!

To be honest, it wasn’t a conscious choice, I didn’t realize male horses don’t have a perineum like we do, I’ve just drawn what looked appealing to me and what I’ve seen other smut artists draw! I like how soft the perineum looks like, and since my interest is more with females I didn’t really bother to do any research about it. I’m sorry for triggering folks!

But yes, artistic freedom and stuff is important! People getting mad over artists drawing cartoon genitals one way and not another are silly. I mean, I have preferences myself, I like art that’s inspired by real life genitals, like what Carrot draws. But I also enjoy artists that draw human or completely made up genitals on non-human creatures, especially when they’re fictional like Pokémon or MLP!

That’s a really good idea. I’ve been struggling with my schedule a bit, and I wanted to rework it. Making a progress tracker on trello or something publicly available sounds like a win/win situation for me and for you guys who’re interested in knowing what pictures are upcoming! I’ll try to set something up in the next few days!

You make it sound like I’m sitting on this huge pile of unreleased art and I’m not releasing it because I’m a big meaniehead.

I answered a while back that I like the idea of POV human/pony and that I’m probably gonna draw some sooner or later. But I don’t have too much time to draw stuff for myself these days. I have work, commissions and other projects that have priority.

There was a POV human/pony picture on this month’s patreon poll. It didn’t win. Maybe one will win next month!

Usually I wouldn’t read too much into an ask like this, but you’ve been demanding those kind of pictures for a while now, getting more and more entitled and demanding with each anonymous ask, and I felt like I had to adress it. Pro tip: Being demanding about something (if you’re not a commissioner and expect me to draw something in my free time) makes it way less fun for me to draw this particular idea and it makes it more likely I’ll draw something else that’s fun for me in my free time.

Please keep in mind that I can’t just fart out art without any effort on command. I wish I could, but it takes me about 10 to 20 hours of work to finish a picture. And that doesn’t include downtime and time for research or communication with people. I’m not keeping you from fapping to human on pony porn because I personally hate you, I just didn’t have time to draw it during my own personal free time yet.
