Rat's Saucy Nest
Finished commission for the winner of my first YCH auction, SirHoli! It’s his OC, Ruby Rustfeather. She’s based upon the Avian species of Starbound.
High res here and here for the internal edit.
There’s also a naughty edit involving a penis of a different yet familiar shape, which tumblr probably doesn’t want me to post the image itself because reasons. But the link to it is here.
There’s also an awesome AJ edit, which I’ll post tomorrow. So stay tuned!
An older commission of Tracy Swift for Dasprid! I finally managed to finish it. Since I started it months ago, there’s still a bit of my older style visible. First time I’ve drawn a chastity belt! I hope you guys like it.

Enjoy!
Greetings from Eurofurence
Just a little something that came to my mind after a giant Toblerone was sold at the Eurofurence auction. I somehow remembered that you are Swiss (and as we all know, Swiss people love Toblerone!) and like rats, so in a spur of the moment kind of action I got a commission for a rat with a piece of Toblerone.
[If you are going to Further Confusion or BronyCon next year I could give you the original if you like]
Wow, that’s awesome and really cute. I do love Toblerone indeed! Do you have a link to the artist’s work, maybe? And I’ll definitely be at Further Confusion next year. Feel free to contact me (ratofdrawn@gmail.com) and we can meet up! I’ll draw you something awesome for it!
Thanks so much for sharing, it made my day!
Of course a rat would know cheese ��
ACTUALLY THAT’S A COMMON MISCONCEPTION AS WELL. Just like bunnies and carrots. They don’t really like it more than any other food. And mice actually kinda hate cheese even. Rats are more neutral towards it.
Sorry for being a buzzkill :P

Oh yeh, I know! There’s some pretty good cheese over here, but it will never come close to stuff from back home for me personally. I prefer italian Parmesan and Mozzarella, but the American brands are pretty good as well! Same for Brie, nothing beats the real deal, but some American brands are very good. I do like American Provolone a lot, though! And Colby-Jack is nice. Sadly not a big fan of Cheddar, and that stuff is everywhere. :( “Cheese flavor” seems to be synonymous with Cheddar, haha. I don’t think I’ve ever tried a high quality brand of Cheddar tho, so my perception is probably warped in that regard.
Fun fact, what you guys call “Swiss cheese” is actually only one (and in my eyes not even the best, by far) of several hugely popular varieties of cheeses from Switzerland. If you ever get the chance, try Gruyere! It’s my absolute favorite cheese from Switzerland. Safeway/Vons stocks real imported Gruyere, sadly it’s criminally expensive.
Also secret cheese pro tip lifehack: Try combining cheese with jam. It’s super tasty!
Anyways, time for sleep! Night guys, it was fun talking about random stuff with you. I hope I didn’t annoy anyone.

I don’t remember if I ever specifically had Hershey’s. I’m not supposed to eat sugar, so I try to stay away. I do remember having some Reese’s and other american chocolate products, tho!
They didn’t quite taste like what we had back home. But I see some imported Swiss and German (theirs is good too!) chocolate brands in grocery stores here in the US all the time! Lindt is pretty nice. Or Milka. In my opinion as someone who doesn’t really eat sweets!
Also the cheese here is mostly a sad excuse for fermented milk :( And real imported Swiss or Italian cheese costs an arm and a leg. But otherwise food is pretty amazing here in the US. Love the variety and all the different cuisines. So many options!
Edit: Love how fitting your username is!

So do you sound like Mercy or Torb? XD
Well they’re both Swedish and mercy primarily speaks german(from what people tell me). Did you happen to run into Riens VA? See who does a better impression xPMercy is Swiss. Switzerland and Sweden aren’t the same thing, even tho it seems to be a very common misconception for some reason!
Switzerland is small, located south of Germany, has a big white plus on a red square as a flag, is famous for their neutrality. For cheese, chocolate, clocks. Ricola and Toblerone. Also snow and the Alps and CERN. Also bank accounts. Swiss people speak either German, Italian, French or Retoromanic.
Sweden is big, north of Europe, has a yellow cross on a blue flag, famous for Ikea, ABBA, Volvo and socialist policies. Also hot blonde women. They speak Swedish.
The more you know!
Now I feel stupid =_=
Haha, don’t worry. Like I said, it’s a super common misconception sadly. The more people that are educated the better!
I would love to know where the misconception comes from, tho. I always wondered.

Torb is Swedish, completely different language and different part of the world. :P I guess I kinda sound like Mercy or Reinhardt just with a stronger accent?
Darn it… I wanted to go there… and meet Ashleigh… You have an accent?
Yeh, I’m from Switzerland! I kinda have an almost German accent!
Back home from my very first SDCC! It was absolutely amazing and super exhausting!
I met the mane six cast (minus Tabitha) and talked a tiny bit with Ashleigh. She didn’t remember me of course, but she commented on my accent and aaah, she’s awesome. <3
Also randomly ran into Robert Picardo and shook his hand! Loved the EMH in Voyager and he was super nice. Got a bunch of great merch, lots of free stuff and bought some nice art as well. A super gorgeous D.Va print was one of them and also an adorable Applejack. I’ll take some pic of my office soon, once I finish hanging up all the new art! I also attended some panels, I’m super excited for a lot of new shows and games now! And I met some of my favorite webcomic artists.
I don’t think I’ve ever walked that much (my phone says 50 miles) while simultaneously somehow spending most of my time in a line for something!
Anyways, I just wanted to give a quick update! If you follow me on Twitter, you saw all my fangasming over the con already. I’m back drawing again now, I’ll try to stream tomorrow at around noon as well as on Friday to catch up on missed time! As usual, I’m almost done with a bunch of art and can hopefully post some stuff very soon.
Also I didn’t log in to tumblr once during those past 7 days, if I missed something awesome, please let me know!
Aaaaah, someone auto-bought the piece. I’m completely overwhelmed by the support and how fast and big those bids came in. Thank you so much! I’m so humbled to see people think my art is worth spending money on. It means so much to me. Thank you!
If I have an idea for a hot picture like this again, I’ll probably make another YCH auction like this. After I’m done with my current workload and got all of my personal ideas out! And next time I’ll deactivate the autobuy, so it’s fairer for everyone. To be honest, I didn’t think anyone would autobuy that!
Anyways, thanks everyone for the interest, you’ll be able to see the finished piece soon! And sorry if you were interested but couldn’t get it.
I am going on a trip out of town this week and I could use some extra spending money. I had this unused concept from a commission that never went through lying around, so I cleaned it up a bit and tweaked it until I was happy with it. This is my very first YCH auction ever! So please be gentle.
Link to the auction here EDIT: Piece has been auto-bought! I’m super happy the picture is that popular! Sorry if you were interested but couldn’t get it. Since this was such a huge success, there will probably be another YCH auction in the next few months!
I had to decline a lot of commission requests lately since I’ve been so busy, so here’s your chance to get some of my art! The starting bid is $35! The picture will be fully inked, colored and shaded in the same quality and style of my other pictures! It will be finished before the month is over.
Changeable features include: Hairstyle, tailstyle, race (Pegasus, Unicorn, Earth, Alicorn) and the expression. If your pony has a certain affinity to objects (like a mechanic or a bookworm, for example) I can change the pillow in the top right to an object of your choice (like a wrench or a book, for example)
For more details and milestones check the link above! The auction will run for 3 days!
Thanks so much for your interest! I really like the sketch, I hope you guys too.
Oh yeh, and a little extra rule:
If you choose Applejack as the character, you’ll get $25 off on your bid!
Thanks a lot for your interest!
Aaaah this is incredibly adorable! Thank you so very muchHappy birthday @ratofdrawn :)
Hi! So, I know this is not the greatest gift ever but I drew you something at work today! I was gonna draw a cake with candles on it but I realized AJ isn’t the kind of pony to bake a cake… so have some apple pie :P
Aaaah, omg! That’s super cute. Thank you so much, starguzzler! Apple pie is the best birthday cake, too.
