Rat's Saucy Nest
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
I realized my ask box was deactivated, oops, sorry about that! It’s open again! I hope nobody tried to send me an ask in the past few days.
Some of the swag I got during the con! I got lucky and was able to commission one of my favorite artists to draw a feral rat for me, I just love how it turned out. It’s kinda become a tradition of mine to get a feral rat commissioned at every furry con I’m at, here’s hoping I can keep it going!
The print with the dogs on it says “Branch Manager” for the left one, and the right one wears a collar that says “Assistant Branch Manager”. I love puns too much, so I had to get it. The matted picture on the top with the foxes was a piece from the art show that I was able to get the winning bid on!
But yeh, it was such a fun con, I saw a couple of great Undertale cosplayers, hugged a nice Asgore fursuit, took a silly picture with an amazing Sans and there was a very fun Papyrus running around the con, just being cool and flexing for everyone. I was kinda surprised nobody was carrying around a potted plant. I really want to replay Undertale now.
The room parties were amazing, the Klingons were super fun and full of yelling as usual (I hope they’ll return for Babscon this year) and there was a great Fallout themed room party, old music playing, old nuclear instruction videos running on the TV, all kind of Fallout related posters and decorations and the bartender was dressed like he jumped straight out of the 50s. It was amazing. I got the nuclear bomb shaped shot glass from there.
I also went to a couple of really interesting panels (I saw a real Fennec!), did a lot of drawing and met a lot of really cool people, which was amazing. Thanks so much to everyone who hung out with me or said hi and talked to me, I can’t express enough times how much I appreciate it.
Anyways, enough blabbering on, I’m gonna go do some drawing now. I’ll be streaming tomorrow at noon PST!
Some of the sketches I did at FurCon! I gave them away to wonderful people I met at the con. Sorry for the very similar poses and everything, traditional media is way out of my comfort zone and I’m slowly trying to produce acceptable results with pen and paper. I miss undo and ctrl+t so much when I’m not sketching at the computer, haha.
Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy them! I had a surprising amount of fun drawing traditionally.
Thanks again to everyone who talked to me at the con and said hi, I really appreciate it and you guys are all absolutely awesome. Also all my art in the art show was sold, and I’m so happy about that, it’s still hard to believe that people actually appreciate my art and I’m super thankful.
Anyways, there will be some new digital art very soon, I’m in the process of finishing up multiple projects, so stay tuned!
Hopefully I’ll see some of you at Babscon and BLFC!
I might have been to one room party too many. Hlp.
My art show panel at FC! Lots of exclusive one of a kind prints that will never be reprinted again! Also the last of the 5 exclusive butt posters, the other 4 found a new home already in the past. So last chance to grab this poster and some of the other limited prints.
The con is super fun thus far, I did a lot of traditional drawing and met some very nice and awesome people! Big thanks to everyone who said hi and everything! I really appreciate it!
I’m going to be attending Further Confusion in San Jose this weekend, so I drew a simple badge for myself to wear. Come say hi if you see me!
I won’t be vending this year, but I’ll have a bunch of cool limited prints (some framed, some on a canvas) in the adult section of the art show! Go check it out if you’re at the con, I’d really appreciate it!
Anyways, I’ll be gone from now till Monday, so sadly no stream tomorrow. But I hope you guys understand and will have a great weekend!

It was a joke, because arguably porn of anthropomorphized colorful ponies is pretty furry!
oh jeeze. are people still trying to say ponies aren’t anthropomorphic cartoon animals
It’s funny, because I’ve seen both hardcore bronies and hardcore furries using the exact same argument, because they don’t like the other group, haha.
And I’m just like here fapping to fictional, colorful animal-like creatures with human characteristics, enjoying myself. Totally not furry, I swear.

I do think furry and pony are a subset of the same general idea and very much alike, even tho a lot of furries (and bronies alike) will have an aneurism when I say that, haha. But yes, people have argued in circles about this since the beginning of time.
Anyways, I also think Anon was talking about the Anthro comic! I’m not too much of a fan of Anthro myself, preferring feral/clop stuff. But I know there are a lot of people who like it, and really, only one out of seven comics is Anthro, if someone really doesn’t like it, it’s not too difficult to just not look at that one comic. I mean ignoring 80% of content that absolutely caters to someone’s taste because the other 20% doesn’t sounds like an overreaction.
But I do understand not wanting to support something that contains things you don’t agree with. After all, voting with our wallets is something very important that everyone can (and absolutely should!) do. But the message felt a bit self-entitled. Like, it’s okay to not support something, but why send a message about it, it’s not like the maker of the pack is going to censor the pack just to pander to one person. That would be silly. Anon just wanted to be a dick.
Thanks so much for liking the pack, it means a lot <3
