Rat's Saucy Nest
Month
Holy fuck so many people thinking the gif is real. It probably doesn’t help that people are reblogging it without my comment that identifies it as a photoshop.
Tumblr users are gullible as hell.
I already saw the first “fuck you ubisoft, pandering to Bronies” comment.
And someone claimed they found the same thing ingame. I can’t.PC! It’s the Digital Deluxe. You can add me on Steam or uplay if you wanna play together, maybe. My nick is RatofDeath.
Also if someone who follows me by any chance ends up invading me, please lemme know afterwards!
I use a Intuos5 to draw and usually draw completely in SAI, for some effects or sometimes for coloring I use Photoshop, though! I usually shade on a Layer Mask (Clipping Group in SAI) over the whole image in a nice color on multiply. Warm colors for warm feelings, cooler colors for cold feelings, usually I decide on a nice purple, for AJ a subtle red goes really well, tho! I’m not that good at explaining things, so have some pictures that explain how Masks and Multiply work:
The drawing with outlines and flats.
Shading layer above the whole drawing group. To prevent me from coloring over the area and into the background, I use the mask feature, which does that:
Shading confined in the right area. I do the same for highlights and everything else that isn’t an outline or a flat color.
If we set the shading layer to multiply, we turn that huge purple blob into a more purplish version of the color underlying it:
And voila, shading complete!
Sometimes I use different shading colors for different areas of the picture, but I think for most situations this method is easy and fast while still producing good results. I then smooth the shading out where it needs to be smoother, hard edges where something is casting a hard shadow, secondary light sources, reflections, etc. But that’s the basic method I start with.
I hope that was helpful!
Important: If you shade try to avoid any color involving grey (or even straight black). For highlights also try to avoid straight white. Be creative with your colors! Be bold! I’m nowhere near as bold with my colors as I should be, I’m trying, tho!
That feel when you really, really, really wanna draw some porn but you can’t because you need to finish convention prints.
It’s incredibly frustrating, I tell you! Maybe I can sneak in something little tomorrow, hopefully!
Sorry for not posting anything in the past few days! I’m insanely busy drawing prints for Babscon. I’m going to past some previews as soon as I’m done with them!
Yeah, they’re supposed to be folded back, in hindsight that wasn’t such a great idea on my part, because it does look rather off when they’re hidden by the tail!
And don’t worry about being “that guy” or anything! Stuff like that is actually very helpful to me, since I myself often don’t see things that look off or that are just plain wrong, because I got accustomed to them when spending hours on a drawing.
So mentioning that helps me be mindful of things like that in the future and I can learn from it.
I’ll have a table at Babscon where I’m gonna sell some prints! And since it’s less than a month away, I figured I should better start working on those prints soon.
So I made this small poll to get a better idea about the demand.
I’m almost definitely certain that I’m going to do a Applejack/Rainbow Dash print (for Ashleigh Ball’s signature) and a Pinkie Pie/Fluttershy (for Andrea Libman) one. But otherwise I’m undecided and open for suggestions! If you maybe could fill out this form, it would be a great help.
Also if you have any ideas or suggestions, please let me know!
Thank you so much for your time. Your input is appreciated!
“I’m sorry for dipping my finger into your marinara sauce” sounds like a naughty euphemism rather than a literal event.
So I accidentally dipped my finger into my wife’s marinara sauce and a second after I apologized like quoted above we both started to giggle because I realized it could be taken as an euphemism.
Finally saw the episode and I really loved Maud!
Didn’t quite get her personality right with my picture, but I was positively surprised at how her character was written, I really like that she wasn’t a generic grumpy pants!
The ending was so cute. That was a fun episode!
Nope, it doesn’t! I finished the sketch for the Luna teats piece a while ago, but sadly I haven’t had the chance to clean it up and color it yet, will do so after I’m done with my current commissions. So you can look forward to some Luna teats in the next few weeks!
Argh, I’m sorry! I sadly have to say no, I hope I’ll be able to explain myself why, though:
I usually don’t do small edits for a picture after I’m done with it, because there will always be someone else who would love to also see another version of it and then I’m feeling bad (and the requester probably too) for declining.
Changing the expressions would take more time than swapping the colors, especially because expressions are hard to do for me. And sadly I don’t have any more time to spend on this picture. It sucks and I’m sorry that I was able to do previous anon’s request but not yours.
It’s not because I dislike the request or anything, I think it would actually work really well and I like the idea! It’s just that I need to make myself stop working on a picture at one point, otherwise I’ll never stop. Because there’s always one more thing to fix or to change, one more edit that would look great, etc. So I try to learn from the mistakes and from the experience and try to apply that in future projects instead!
At least that’s how I feel, for another artist that may be completely different!
I would also really love to do a teats edit, or different toys, but there are other pictures I have to draw.
Sorry for the rant! I realize replying to that took a lot of time that could’ve been spent doing the request, but I didn’t want to just ignore the ask.
I do! My account is RatofDeath, but I’m not really communicative over Steam.
Yes, she also writes clop.
Anyways! Gonna answers questions privately from now on again, don’t wanna clutter my blog too much, sorry for all the text posts today, I’ll be able to post some drawings soon!
Got a couple of asks like that, so I’ll answer it publicly. way too much information masturbation toy talk below the cut.
I don’t think they’re supposed to simulate real sex, but yeh, they’re supposed to be a butthole, I assume the difference is the tightness and the texture/softness inside. The Mary I own has a very specific and detailed texture inside, so I assume this toy feels different because it has a different inside.
From the BD site:
Rumptoy: 
Mary:
Because she’s a sex positive person and enjoys having sex, of course!
Or because I’m infatuated with her and I like drawing her enjoying lots of sex!
But I’m not sure where that “having sex with so many ponies” comes from, actually! I’m not really drawing AJ having sex with so many different ponies. And in my head she’s also not constantly in a monogamous relationship with Rainbow Dash, while it’s true that I ship her with RD, I also ship her with Rarity and I can see a lot of other ships involving her being cute or hot and sometimes I even really like the idea of the characters being poly.
I just draw what I’m in the mood for and what I think is fun, my drawings aren’t supposed to be all part of one big interconnected overall story or universe.
Sometimes I just like drawing AJ (or any other pony) being sexy or having a good fuck and I make up a small scene/background story for it in my head, but it’s almost never related to any of my other drawings.
You could say all of my drawings are separate little what-if scenarios.
Contraception.
It’s okay to post it now, thank you so much for asking before just reposting it, that means a lot!
