Okay, so I'm a cis-identifing male and I thinking about getting a penatrative toy from Bad dragon when I have the money (Anthro-husky to be percise) but I'm also looking for a relationship. And my problem boils down to, if I somehow become part of a romantic relationship how should I tell my partner about the fact that I own a self-pleasuring sex toy modeled on a anthropomorphised dog breed. Given that you admited having/had a similar product, I was wondering if I could get your take on this?
ratofponi ratofponi Said:

Interesting question, and I gladly talk about stuff like that and give advice or anything, if you ask something like that non-anon I’ll answer privately and don’t have to spam my followers dashboard with a wall of text, if you’re comfortable talking to me non-anon!

Answer after the cut for everyone who’s interested!

Since 'Saddle Up!' specialised in dicks, do you think there will be a pack like this for crotchboobs or something like that?
ratofponi ratofponi Said:

I hope there will be something like that, and I hope I’ll be part of it! Sounds like fun. 

But yeah, most artpacks focus pretty much on females, so I think Saddle Up is a nice variation, because it’s not as if there aren’t a ton of great art packs about mares!

But yeah, somebody definitely should organize a teats artpack!

Are you possibly going to animate some of your artwork in the future and/or make some interactive peices?
ratofponi ratofponi Said:

I experiment with animation every now and then, so I’m sure I’ll draw something animated sooner or later again! I’m not sure about interactive pieces, though. It sounds like a lot of fun, but also a lot of work. But I’ll see what I can do!

So what is on your commission list? Projects and who is commissioning them. (As long as they're public I mean.)
ratofponi ratofponi Said:

Maybe making the list public will motivate me to work harder on them, so here we go:

  • SFW TwiJack for Anon
  • NSFW TwiJack for Sora Harmony
  • Rainbow Dash x Canadian Flag for Anon
  • Tracy for /mlp/
  • Two Spitfire Pinups for LotsofCaps
  • Closeup cunnilingus between two OCs for Anon
  • Pay What You Want clopcomic for all of you
  • Several pictures for Playpony 3
  • SFW Comic for Rated Ponystar
  • About five hundred AppleDash pictures for Tchernobog

I think that’s about it. And I’m trying to get half of it done by the end of the week!

Eeeeee! I'm the anon that sent that message in! I was starting to think it just never made it, but I'm glad you like the idea! I'm also glad that it turned out so well, and as hot as it did!
ratofponi ratofponi Said:

Aw, thank you so much! I was afraid you’ll never see the picture since it took me about two months from getting your message until I actually finished it. I’m glad you like it! Thank you again for the nice idea, I think I’ll definitely do the other three of the mane six sooner or later. I already have some ideas for their jewelry!

Hey, I was wondering this for a while and I'm sorry if this is a bad time but what do you use to draw with ( tablet/program?) and how do you do shading. Even if you could just point to a few videos/tutorials or other sites I would appreciate it very much. Thanks
ratofponi ratofponi Said:

I use a Intuos5 to draw and usually draw completely in SAI, for some effects or sometimes for coloring I use Photoshop, though! I usually shade on a Layer Mask (Clipping Group in SAI) over the whole image in a nice color on multiply. Warm colors for warm feelings, cooler colors for cold feelings, usually I decide on a nice purple, for AJ a subtle red goes really well, tho! I’m not that good at explaining things, so have some pictures that explain how Masks and Multiply work:

The drawing with outlines and flats.

Shading layer above the whole drawing group. To prevent me from coloring over the area and into the background, I use the mask feature, which does that:

Shading confined in the right area. I do the same for highlights and everything else that isn’t an outline or a flat color.

image

If we set the shading layer to multiply, we turn that huge purple blob into a more purplish version of the color underlying it:

image

And voila, shading complete!

Sometimes I use different shading colors for different areas of the picture, but I think for most situations this method is easy and fast while still producing good results. I then smooth the shading out where it needs to be smoother, hard edges where something is casting a hard shadow, secondary light sources, reflections, etc. But that’s the basic method I start with.

I hope that was helpful!

Important: If you shade try to avoid any color involving grey (or even straight black). For highlights also try to avoid straight white. Be creative with your colors! Be bold! I’m nowhere near as bold with my colors as I should be, I’m trying, tho!

I hate to be "that guy" but where did Luna's ears go? In that one with her and Celestia she has no ears. Or are they just folded back?
ratofponi ratofponi Said:

Yeah, they’re supposed to be folded back, in hindsight that wasn’t such a great idea on my part, because it does look rather off when they’re hidden by the tail!

And don’t worry about being “that guy” or anything! Stuff like that is actually very helpful to me, since I myself often don’t see things that look off or that are just plain wrong, because I got accustomed to them when spending hours on a drawing.

So mentioning that helps me be mindful of things like that in the future and I can learn from it.

Just wondering does that last Sister piece count as the Princess Luna form that one poll. (I think it was a poll. Something similar? I remember that AJ, Derpy and Vinyl were the other winners). I only really ask because there is a depressing lack of good Luna teats on the internet.
ratofponi ratofponi Said:

Nope, it doesn’t! I finished the sketch for the Luna teats piece a while ago, but sadly I haven’t had the chance to clean it up and color it yet, will do so after I’m done with my current commissions. So you can look forward to some Luna teats in the next few weeks!

Different person who is hiding behind anon. While you're making minor edits, could you do one with a softer expressions on best sisters but still have them using the toys on each other?
ratofponi ratofponi Said:

Argh, I’m sorry! I sadly have to say no, I hope I’ll be able to explain myself why, though:

I usually don’t do small edits for a picture after I’m done with it, because there will always be someone else who would love to also see another version of it and then I’m feeling bad (and the requester probably too) for declining.

Changing the expressions would take more time than swapping the colors, especially because expressions are hard to do for me. And sadly I don’t have any more time to spend on this picture. It sucks and I’m sorry that I was able to do previous anon’s request but not yours. 

It’s not because I dislike the request or anything, I think it would actually work really well and I like the idea! It’s just that I need to make myself stop working on a picture at one point, otherwise I’ll never stop. Because there’s always one more thing to fix or to change, one more edit that would look great, etc. So I try to learn from the mistakes and from the experience and try to apply that in future projects instead!

At least that’s how I feel, for another artist that may be completely different!

I would also really love to do a teats edit, or different toys, but there are other pictures I have to draw. 

Sorry for the rant! I realize replying to that took a lot of time that could’ve been spent doing the request, but I didn’t want to just ignore the ask.

So are those suppose to simulate anal? How do they make toys feel different to be a pussy or an ass? Sorry, I'm very ignorant with toys
ratofponi ratofponi Said:

I don’t think they’re supposed to simulate real sex, but yeh, they’re supposed to be a butthole, I assume the difference is the tightness and the texture/softness inside. The Mary I own has a very specific and detailed texture inside, so I assume this toy feels different because it has a different inside.

I am curious what tablet do you typically draw on that you find most comfortable. Sorry if you have stated it before I must have missed it then.
ratofponi ratofponi Said:

I use an Intuos 5 touch medium! The touch features rarely get used, and if then mostly just because my cat walked over it and accidentally activated them. But penhandling is amazing and very smooth.

Which of the two of you loves Apple pone more?
ratofponi ratofponi Said:

She’d say definitely herself, but I’m pretty sure it’s me!

I am the one who owns an orange Mary, after all.

Love the New Year's Applejack picture, but it looks like Tumblr converted the full size image to JPEG. Is there a PNG version available?

Argh, sorry about that. Silly tumblr.
