Yes, I’ll stop drawing any pony whatsoever and cancel all open projects and commissions because I’m suddenly in love with another cartoon character besides Applejack! It’s all over, guys. Closing the gates of pony smut. I’m RatofJudy from now on!
Nah, of course not, don’t worry! <3 The pony posts weren’t halted when I liked Blue from Jurassic Park either. Or random fox OC early last year. Or feral rats from not too long ago. Or that weird phase where I was into dolphins…
Just means that I’ll probably doodle her once or twice while I find some free time to do so in between all the pony pics. Speaking of which, I’ll have a new pony pic ready to post tomorrow. Stay tuned!
I’m in love with Judy Hopps.
That is all.

I’d say not to look for love. Instead, look for friends.
If you go looking for love, every little relationship you enter will have that pressure of an end goal. So make friends instead! Not aloof perfect gorgeous beings you want to see yourself married to, but people who you like hanging out and playing video games with. People you can walk around with in Walmart for an hour and have a surprisingly great time. Work to make friends, not potential future lovers. Then later, maybe that friend you’ve had forever actually ends being the one you wanna be with.
So, yeah! Don’t start by flirting, don’t start by sorting by appearance. Start by finding people you just naturally like talking to, I think!
Can confirm. I found love when I stopped looking for it. Friends are also more valuable than potential romantic interests. And it’s definitely not too rare that love develops out of a close friendship. Just don’t go into a friendship hoping for it to develop into a romantic relationship.
As for the Walmart part, that’s what struck a chord with me and made me reblog this. I realized I found someone really special in the woman I ended up marrying when we were walking around in a Walmart at midnight and were having an amazing time. And to this day, every time we go grocery shopping or doing some other mundane everyday life stuff we’re still having a great time. Because I got married to one of my best friends. And seriously, when a friendship doesn’t end up turning into a romantic relationship, that’s no loss at all. You’ll have something invaluable and powerful, a real friendship.
I never quite understood the people who formed a romantic relationship with someone they wouldn’t want to be friends with in the first place. And sadly that’s awfully common.
Brae giving A1 life advice, as usual!
Both doodles took approximately the same amount of time. There’s no such thing as talent, it’s just about drawing as much as possible.
I kinda wish I would’ve listened to the people who said you have to draw every single day. I wonder where I would be now, I didn’t get serious about drawing a lot until 2014.
Anyways, I thought the parallels between those two pictures were interesting, I hope you guys think so too!
My best friend just sent me this. It’s a picture I drew on a post-it note and sent her on November 11, 2011. Back then we were sending each other silly emails (and sometimes drawings) to make the dull work days more bearable.
I almost died of cringe when I saw it, haha. And yes, all of my drawings back then looked like that, some are even worse and I pray the world shall never see them.
For reference, here’s one that she drew:
What a cute AJ (with awesome neck-legs), while my doodle looks like Twilight is pooping tail-shaped diarrhea.
Anyways, I’ve been drawing pony plots since 2011, apparently!
Had to do something very quick for you guys too! Inspired by the cat lingerie meme that’s floating around everywhere.
I’m sorry I didn’t have enough time to draw something proper (and that I was too lazy to draw the cutiemark), I hope you guys still enjoy it! Anyways, thanks for following me and for all the love and everything!
I’m taking the rest of the day off to spend it with my wife now! I hope all of you have a great day as well!
Oh yeh, I don’t know if any of you guys are actually interested, but I started using my twitter 2 days ago, after I left it unused for years.
I’m not completely sure what I’m going to do with it yet, but I figured I’ll just mostly use it to share random thoughts and personal life stuff that would be too insignificant and unrelated to post on my tumblr!
Anyways, give me a follow if you’d like to read my random ramblings and want to interact with me besides looking at my pony smut! I’d appreciate it!
I did something SFW (weird, I know) for Babscon to advertise their Valentine’s Day event!
Babscon is a really great and fun convention in the San Francisco Bay Area, the first two years were amazing and I’m really looking forward to going for the third time. I’ll be vending there and hitting up the room parties and everything again, as well. I hope to see and say hi to a lot of you guys again this year. Anyways, check out their website and stuff!
Watersports edit of this picture. Enjoy!
I wonder if the seats in the front row have a splash warning on them.
My patreon picture for January!
High res here. (Make sure to actually download the picture via the download button, Dropbox likes to mess up the resolution and/or colors in the preview window)
Each month, the people who support me on patreon provide a bunch of ideas and then vote on them to decide what kind of picture I draw for them that month. By popular vote in January, it was decided that I should draw Countess Coloratura from S05E24 The Mane Attraction. So I did! I had an absolute blast drawing her, I love drawing ponies I haven’t drawn before and playing around with the effects was so much fun. I hope you guys like it!
Some joking around in the stream while I drew this sparked the JJ Lensflare Edit. Her cutiemark is supposed to be glowing like in the episode.
If you want to help decide on what picture I draw in February for my patreons, please consider supporting my patreon.
So for the longest time I’ve wanted to make something for @ratofponi in return for being such a massive inspiration to me, but I wasn’t sure what to make; just drawing AJ felt too impersonal since it would just be another picture of AJ among many. BUT, seeing the pics from the most recent convention gave me this idea, and I suppose the rest is history.
Oh wow, that’s absolutely amazing! Teats, amazing applejack butt, and a dripping wet rat going to town on AJ, I don’t think it could be any more personal than that. It’s like you took a snapshot of my twisted mind and made a picture out of it, haha.
Thank you so much! It means a whole lot to me. <3
I got the OK to post the exclusive piece I did for The Pony Plot Book 2015 for you guys!
I drew it back in September 2015 and I’m pretty proud of it, since even tho it’s a standard plot shot, I tried something new with the perspective and drew something I haven’t really drawn before. So I’m super excited I can show you guys!
If you missed the whole Plot Book thing, you can read more about it (and still order it, there are still some in stock!) here:

Anyways, enjoy some AJ booty!

Oh yeh, I definitely want to redraw some of my older pictures! A full scale reimagination of some of my old pieces sounds fun. Edits not so much.
Sadly I’m quite busy with a lot of projects and commissions that are overdue and need to get done. But it would be cool to do a redraw in April, I drew my first pony picture in April 2011 (even tho I didn’t get serious about drawing until 2013). So it would be a nice anniversary thing. I’ll see what I can do!
I’d have trouble deciding which picture to redraw, though. There are so many that I like and would love to see done better!

Yeh, I noticed! It’s been a problem of mine for a long while now, it’s hard breaking out of my comfort zone, but I’m trying. It doesn’t help that there are only so many ways to show off genitals, haha, but yeah, I definitely need to push myself more. I’m working on a big comic and I’m trying lots of different angles and poses there!
I’ll try to draw more variation in the future!
Commission for Silvia! They paid me to draw a rubber ducky and I just decided to add a whole bunch of other stuff to keep the ducky company!
Seriously tho, I had lots of fun drawing this OC, I hope it shows! Thanks for the commission and for your patience, Silvia! <3
