Rat's Saucy Nest
Month
Aaaaah. Gonna get married in less than 7 hours, there’s still so much to do and there probably won’t be any sleep for me and aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. So excited! And tired! And just a little bit nervous and oh my god. It’s gonna be so awesome and beautiful. Can’t wait! <3
But I’d give everything if we just had one more day time…
My wedding is in two days! I still can’t quite believe how lucky I am. But there’s still way too much to do, aaaaah.
I would’ve never thought I’ll ever get stressed out over a wedding!
I tried to finish an Appledash picture before the date to celebrate it, but I doubt I’ll have enough time, so there won’t be another picture from me until after I’m a married man.
You’ll probably hear from me a day after the wedding or so, I’m gonna have some nice photos of the pony influenced decorations and the Appledash cake topper for y'all!
Oh sorry for the confusion! Donate link is here. Thank you very much, it’s greatly appreciated!
It’s an amazing game. Gameplay and gunplay is rather standard but story is amazing. I already own it but I just got a key since I preordered the new X-COM, and I thought maybe one of you would appreciate it. I’d hate if it goes to waste though, so please only redeem it if you know you’d play through the game. It’s a third person shooter with a hard to stomach story where, for once, you’re not a hero. Definitely my game of the year 2012.
CLAIMED. SORRY GUYS! (Also wow, that was fast.)
First come first serve! Enjoy.
Please leave a short message if you claimed it, so I can remove it! Thanks!
I got two asks about this, and they were both nice and non-demanding, so I feel caught in the middle. Because I really don’t want to edit the picture any further, for me it’s already special to make an edit of a picture in the first place.
When I start drawing something, I have a mental image of the picture in my head. I have an idea that I want to bring to life. That mental image sometimes changes while I draw the picture. In my mind Vinyl here had the piercing from the very beginning. It started out even as a pure futa idea, but I later decided to make the futa only an edit.
I do understand that tastes differ, and that especially a piercing can make someone dislike a picture they would otherwise like. I sometimes feel the same, I’m not a fan of piercings, at all. And if I’d see a piercing like that on a real picture I’d probably squirm in phantom pain. But somehow my mind decided that Vinyl needs to have that piercing in that picture, that it fits. And that’s why I don’t want to do this edit.
And that makes me kinda feel bad, because it would be a very quick edit and because the people who asked for it were decent and friendly. (Unlike other, self-entitled, messages I sometimes get when I draw crotchboobs or futa.) And because it would make them happy.
I dunno, I think I’m just being a crazy artist right now and I usually try to make people happy with my art. But I don’t like the idea of removing the piercing. Sorry! And it’s completely okay to not like the picture because of that! I’m sure I’ll draw some other non-pierced horsecock another time.
Sorry for the ramblings.
tl;dr: I’m a silly artist who gets a little too attached to pictures.
And in other news, why the fuck has my 2 minute drawing 143 notes.
I’m on the lookout for some cute pins/buttons and I wondered if someone knows someone who has some leftovers from Bronycon, maybe? I’m basically looking for the following:
Lemme know if you know someone or if you yourself have some leftovers! I’m obviously gonna pay for shipping + the merch and if you like my artwork I’ll gladly do a little sketch for you, too!
Thanks so much!

Thank you guys for all the nice birthday wishes and heartfelt messages/asks. It means a whole lot! I’m gonna try to answer all of them privately, but there are a lot of them, so maybe some will fall through the cracks.
Had a great day thus far! Callisto took me out to play minigolf and game in an arcade this morning, and later we’re going out to eat and watch Pacific Rim (or World War Z or Olympus Has Fallen, not sure yet!) Most fun birthday in years.
We reached an overwhelming total of $3,090! I’m amazed. That covers the complete cost of me moving here and leaves around $600 that go towards paying the wedding. That’s such an incredibly big help. I’m overly emotional at the moment and very happy. Thank you, everyone. For donating, spreading the word and liking my artwork. It all means so much to me.
So, the stretch goal for $3k is definitely happening, no idea on the timetable yet, though! Need to figure out how to draw on skin first and do a couple of testruns.
Some interesting stats for the raffle:
Those are all the tickets that were in play. 144 people got 897 tickets in total, meaning the chance that one ticket in particular gets drawn is about 0.11%, so there’s a chance of about 0.80% to win one of the 7 prizes with only one ticket. (I think? I was never good at math.)
I’ve used a RNG to select the 7 winners and will email them shortly. Everyone who participated will also receive an email soon, confirming that they’re on the mailing list to receive the exclusive picture set later this month. So if you haven’t gotten an email by tomorrow, please let me know at ratofdrawn@gmail.com, so we can sort it out!
I’m from Bern as well, lived in a small suburb next to the city. :D
Now I also live in a suburb, near San Francisco.
