Rat's Saucy Nest

All characters drawn and posted here are of fictional nature and are depicted as consenting adults over the age of 21.

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!

What? Based on the preview images most of it is pony, not furry.

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.

Well i think furry and pony is something very different Maybe that last anon means the anthro one wich is also not my favourite (its not really the original characters and well...less interesting as its like human and not clop) but AMAZING pack and work of you and the others anyway! :D
ratofponi ratofponi Said:

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

Check it out guys, I was a part of a super fun and exciting project! Sadly because of time restrains the comic I provided is very short, only 2 pages (AJ getting spanked), out of a whopping 72 pages of amazing content included in this pack. But yeh, the whole pack is super cute and hot and @fearingfun did an amazing job putting it all together. The whole pack is tied together by Lyra and Bonbon lovingly announcing each comic and commenting on them, it’s super adorable.

Also if you like fluids as much as I do, you’ll absolutely love Fearing’s threesome comic!

I've noticed a lot of artists nowadays are using Paint Tool Sai, including you. What's your opinion on it compared to other graphics programs? Also merry (late) Christmas!
ratofponi ratofponi Said:

I really like the stabilizer feature in sai, plus it has most of the useful tools other programs have. I wish I could type in it tho, and I miss some filters and everything from photoshop, so I switch back between sai and Photoshop if I need to do something that Sai can’t handle.

I tried Manga Studio, too, and I liked it, it has some very interesting features but in the end I was too comfortable with sai to change. I personalized my sai a lot, pretty much all the brushes are individualized, I put a lot of time into arranging hotkeys, settings and everything. I’m very comfortable using sai, and I think that’s the most important thing about choosing the tool of your trade.

It doesn’t matter too much which program you chose, what matters is that you can make yourself feel comfortable using it. And I’m sure a lot is just getting accustomed to the program. I don’t think any program is inherently better than another. But it helps that sai has the great stabilizer and a lot of convenient features and is relatively cheap. I think that’s what makes it popular. While photoshop is amazing and does great things, most of its features won’t be needed on a daily basis by the average artist.

I hope I could help!
