BB-8 is cute.
Haha, I’m not completely sure! If so I’d be surprised it took this long. But I checked the leak tag on derpibooru and can’t find anything else related to the new gen at a quick glance.
Does that mean I get to stake a claim?
Thank you so much! That means a lot to me. I’m really happy you like her!
Yeh I know, I mentioned that.

From the looks of it though the others won’t change save for their races. It’s like… why do the other fans get to keep their waifus? :/
Keep in mind this is still all very early concept art in super early stages of planning, nothing has been confirmed yet! Hell, I’m not even sure if it’s real. We haven’t even seen all the mane six yet. But from what I’ve read, the others will change too. I suspect they’re all going to be pretty much completely new characters with similarities to their old counterparts.
No reason to be unhappy about some distant possibility. Plus I rather embrace things that make me happy and bring me joy than to be sad or angry about something I have no influence over.
I thought the design is cute when I saw it, it reminded me of the AJ I love and I wanted to draw a cute picture that makes me happy.

That is one hell of an over-designed OC.
Word, lol. And that’s after I toned down her original manestyle a little bit!

You do realize she won’t be herself again, right? ;w;
Yeah, I do. And it’s very sad. I love AJ a lot and I’ll miss her. But I figured that’s what people felt when G4 happened. Suddenly Rainbow Dash is a competitive tomboy? A silly white pegasus named Surprise is suddenly a pink earth pony called Pinkie Pie? Applejack is a hardworking farmer and not a silly klutzy pony anymore?
So yeah, I’ll miss “our” AJ. So much. But I’m also ready to fall in love with completely new characters all over again. Even if they have the same name as some of my most favorite characters ever.
And hey, we’ll get at least 2 more seasons with the AJ we know and love, that’s nice, too!
The links in the post to my dropbox (to the ~5mb 4700px by 3630px files) are the highest resolution. I didn’t draw in any higher res than that.
Oh I like this idea a lot! Initially I planned on doing an edit where she’s using the crystal from the staff in the movie in some naughty way, but then I lost track of time!
I’ll see if I can do something like that, but I can’t promise anything, since I have lots of other pictures that need to be finished.
Thank you so much for your nice words, I’m really glad you like the picture!
Oh, I haven’t seen the episode yet, I’m just now catching up with the end of Season 6! I can’t believe how much good stuff I’ve missed thus far.
Just saw the episode with young AJ and young Big Mac yesterday. So cute.
But I’m pretty sure if I like Rarity’s new look I’ll probably draw her! I also really wanna draw AJ with the hairstyle (the two pigtails) she had in the episode I’ve seen yesterday. Or in a mechanics overall from the one CMC cart racing episode! The episodes are really giving me a lot of inspiration. I’m sad I’ve fallen that far behind with watching them.
I’ve always been into drawn porn of all kind! I remember when I was a kid, about 18 years ago or so, I looked up Pokemon porn, since I had a crush on Misty and I also liked seeing porn of the Pokemon themselves, always thought it was creative and intriguing. I was also massively into Maid Marian from the Disney Robin Hood. Or Lion King’s Nala. Or [insert any intriguing female character from the 90s] So seeing Rule 34 of media I liked wasn’t anything new to me. In fact I often ended up specifically looking for it.
The same thing happened after I started watching MLP in early 2011. I actively went out of my way to look for MLP porn. And since there wasn’t enough out there for my taste, I started drawing my own!
So for me personally it never was a huge abnormality to become acquainted with. I always liked drawn porn of fictional characters, for as far back as I can remember, and it never made a difference to me if the character was human, anthropomorphized animal, made-up creature or feral animal.

Hi everyone!
I hope you guys are doing well. I’m sorry for disappearing off the face of the world.
I’ve physically felt unwell for the last few months now. It has gotten massively worse the past few weeks. To the point where it became crippling 2 weeks ago and I couldn’t find the energy to get anything done anymore. If you follow my twitter (@RatofDrawn) you might have noticed.
So I went to see my doctor when it got really bad and after a few tests they found out what’s wrong with me. I’m on medication now and everything but the doctor said it could take up to 6 weeks to feel better again. To be honest, it’s been pretty terrible and I’m really happy it’s gonna be better. I just want to feel healthy again and be able to work on things.
I don’t know how long I’ll be out of it. Hopefully not too long. But for for now there won’t be any real updates until at least next month. I still barely have any energy. I’m terribly sorry for this. I have some sketches I did during BLFC that I haven’t posted yet, I’ll do that over the next few days. So there’s at least some “new” art for you guys soon.
Anyways, I hope you understand. And I’m really sorry for not communicating with you guys.
I’ll keep you updated. Thank you for listening.
Best regards,
Rat

I wish! Maybe she listens to you instead? She always had a writers crush on you, right @callistoponi? :P
“Online.” lol. At least when strangers ask!
All of my close friends do know about my art in some way or another, tho. So it wasn’t an issue telling them. For friends who are less close or for family we just tell them we met because we were both in the same fandom, most of the time we also say it’s because of ponies, just no details, haha. Our wedding also had some subtle pony references (Appledash cake topper, our friend who was the officiant made some references in his speech, each table was the colors of one of the mane six, etc).
So yeh, in general people know we met because we’re both into art or ponies and that’s how we started talking on Skype and then met up in real life for the first time at a convention in New York! (Bronycon ‘12)
Oh and that reminds me of something! One of my wife’s friends apparently was aware of my blog, so after we started dating and it turned serious and she told her friend about me, the friend was all like “wait a second, are you talking about Rat?” The world is small.
I showed her your ask and she started smiling like crazy!
Thank you so much! I know I’m incredibly lucky to have her.
Also, I think she feels the same about me liking her work, haha.
We started talking 5 years ago because I drew fanart for one of her clopfics about Appledash. And now we’re married. So, she approves! :D
Also, I’m sorry for the onslaught of advertising posts lately! I feel bad about not having new art ready.
It’s my wife’s birthday tomorrow, so we’re going on a day trip to celebrate. But as soon as I’m back I’ll be back at drawing full time again and can hopefully finally start posting those half-finished pictures I’m working on! If you’ve been in my streams lately, you probably saw me working on four or five of them, haha.
Thank you so much! I love working with all kinds of different artists, too. Because I always discover someone new whose art I can admire.
Also that reminds me that I should be drawing more Applejack! One of the pictures I’m working on right now is a Rarijack piece, I hope I can post it soon!
Aw, thank you so much! I’m really glad to hear that you liked it.
Y'know, you said the exact same thing about the Plotbook 2 back in the day. And I was very patient with you then, telling you it’s not a scam, sending you photos and providing preview images. I will tell you the same thing about the Plotbook 3 now.
If you did end up checking out the Plotbook 2, 3 is the same deal, just new pictures and slightly different artists than last time. All pictures are 100% female and feral. Each of the six artists has a few exclusive, completely new pictures in it for a total of 10 new and exclusive pictures. Plus 30 pictures that are already part of the artists’ portfolios, but weren’t part of the Plotbook 1 or 2.
The Clopbook is only tangentially related to the Plotbook series and is a completely different project with a wholly different premise.
There’s a lot of info about the new and past Plotbooks out there. They are not “100% confirmed scam” and we never falsely advertised anything, as far as I know.
If you think those books/digital folios are scam, don’t buy them. I remember you take issue with virtually every existing folio or book project out there as well as with artists who run patreons. So I really don’t know what to tell you. Because I’m sure I’ll get the same message from you again the next time I’m part of a project. As will everyone else involved.
It’s totally fine if you don’t want to spend money on these things. I understand. There are a lot of very valid reasons why someone doesn’t want to support these kind of projects. That’s why I try to provide most of my content for free. Even the exclusive pictures of certain projects I’m part of, at least as soon as I’m allowed to. But just because you don’t like them, doesn’t mean they’re automatically a scam. Plus I’m sure you can find the exclusive content out there anyways if you’re interested in checking out the quality.
Thanks for listening.
Hopefully next week! Still tweaking the background and then as soon as I get approval from the commissioner!
Wow I just now saw how the photo looks like on the post. I’m so sorry for my potato camera.
Haha, exactly! <3
When I wrote the title of the last post it reminded me of the same thing and I almost rephrased it. Glad I didn’t, and I’m glad my brain isn’t the only one that works that way!
