Hello you all, I finally decided to sit down and write the criteria’s for doing requests on this blog. Don’t worry it might be a wall of text, but hopefully it will help you and me to get everything done right and to prevent confusions.

I’ll do it like a FAQ, hopefully answering every question that you might have.

In which order do you do your requests?

I work in a complex mixture of FCFS, requests that peak my interest extraordinary and by workload.

I try to draw a picture after another in the order I receive them, but if something is spectacular interesting (or boring *cough) it can climb up or slide down the ladder. Also when the estimated time for a picture is more than 3h (pictures of 1 pony or “simple” drawings of 2 ponies are usually within 3h) I may put it back on the list to a day when I have more time.

You usually don’t need to ask “When is my picture done” If it isn’t done within 7 days after your request you should ask again, maybe it has slipped my mind or too many other super cool drawings I simply HAD to made :x

In general I do 1 picture per day. Sometimes more, sometimes less. It is common that I dish out several pictures on the weekend, when I was lazy from Monday till Friday.

When are your stream times?

I stream almost every day. In general you can say, if I draw, I also stream. From Monday till Friday it could be between 8am - 12am and between 4pm – 11pm GMT +1 (GMT +1 is equivalent to EST +6) It is more common that I start my streams in the afternoon rather than in the morning. On weekend I sometimes stream the whole day, but rather seldom before 1pm my time.

Also if you have requested a picture you’re more than welcome to join my stream. This way we could work together on it and you can tell me if something is off or you envisioned it differently. Also when your request is “overdue” I’m more likely to get to it, when the recipient is sitting in the chat talking to me :x

What things are you willing to draw?

Basically everything. It could be pony, anthro, furries, animals, robots, humans, landscapes everything. But some things interest me much more than others and I tend to produce lousy work if not interested in a picture ^^’ But that shouldn’t prevent you from asking, I need to divert in the things I draw to improve, you can even request a “style” maybe lineless, or with watercolours, whatever. Also I do have troubles to draw certain things and it might look odd :x

What are those things?

Basically things I’m not familiar with. When you look through my blog you easily see what I can and what I can’t draw very well. So I’m bad at drawing backgrounds and clothes basically and if I could do technical drawings (or at least accurate ones) of machines I do not know ^^’

Are there things you won’t draw?

Scat and most likely watersport. Almost everything else is fair game to me, be it SFW, fighting, cheesy, dress-ups, silly, NSFW vore (no cock-vore, that grosses me out :x), gore, unbirth, BDSM, tentacle, foalicon, F/F, F/M, M/M (although I may be bad at it since it’s not my particular taste :x ) If your request is by any means of that kind I won’t draw because it disgusts me or I simply don’t feel like I could produce a good result I will tell you. Openly of course when the request was send by an Anon, privately when send by a proper tumblr blog. Don’t worry I’m not one who easily judges other since I have weird kinks of my own :x

Also I may turn down OC’s that are simply a pain in the ass to draw :p Covered over and over in different colour patterns, having a shitload of accessories on them and stuff.

I requested to be drawn with a special OC, why didn’t you do it?

When you want to be drawn with another OC that isn’t your own I always need the permission of the other mod as well!

And before you ask, I don’t run after other blogs and ask them because you want a drawing of that OC :p

That also means you can’t ask as an Anon to draw something NSFW of an OC. Only exception is maybe when I know the mods of those blogs personally (or in that blog is a post saying “I want to see (NSFW) art of my OC!” ). You may still ask for it, but the chances are higher, that I turn it down when I don’t get a response from those blogs.

When you can show me RP of you and the other OC doing the things that is requested I see this as an agreement as well.

That means, if a picnic is requested and you show me a game with that OC having picnic or at least some kind of date I’ll approve of it. When you show me a NSFW RP and the request was NSFW I approve it as agreement as well. (also it spares you to describe the scene since I can read it in the RP)

Do you draw OC on Canon or Canon on Canon?

Barely. I feel more content in drawing OC’s exclusively. There are many reasons. One the canon ponies are already drawn by many (skilled) artists and I don’t want to compare/compete with them.

Secondly: Drawing an OC with a canon pony (even when background pony) feels somewhat odd for me. I personally don’t like it much seeing OC’s engaged in any closer form than just being acquainted or lose friends. Chances that I draw something like that will increase when the Canon pony is played by another mod and not just part of the OC’s background. You can still ask for it tough.

Thirdly: I like it much more to draw OC’s and make people happy that can’t draw on their own and want to have a nice picture of their OC’s ^^

What exactly is needed to make a request?

Permission of the mod (that mod need to send me his/hers okay), when you want to be drawn with another OC.

I also need the tumblrs (when they exist) of all participants in the requested drawing since I want to properly credit everyone who is featured and send them a link to the the finished work.

(Detailed) description of the scene you want to have. The more the better. I may change a few things, but when you explain it to me thoroughly I have a better image in my head and ask less silly questions :p When you have a RP going that explains the scene give me a link to it, that will suffice as description as well to me.

Need to know if pony, standing (half anthro like SadiSweetie does i.e.) pony, or anthro pony. For anthro ponies I need to know if they wear clothes (please very detailed description or links to pictures of the clothes) and if they have any body art like piercing, or tattoos (pictures of the tattoo please) Also I don’t draw Cutie Marks on Anthro ponies, call me odd :p

Of course I need a REFERENCE of your pony! If you want to have the first ever picture of your pony give a detailed description, or even better, be in my stream and create him/her together with me.

Patience of yourself. So far my workload say that I usually can do a request within a week after doing the ones that came first. But it will depend on my general mood and when I have to go to work. As stated above you may ask for a request again after the course of 1 week.

And of course basic courtesy. If I draw something for you, I expect the drawing to be reblogged from me :p I especially enjoy it when there is a response as well, maybe telling a little story to the picture if adequate, I’m a roleplayer after all and like that kind of stuff =:}

How many requests can I do?

Basically limitless. Since I have Anon activated I don’t know if somebody does multiple requests in the first place. But as a rule of thumb, 1 request per OC (or pair, triple, whatever the size of the requested group in the picture is)

So you may do several individual requests when you own several OC’s (or want several characters to be drawn). It’s only that I most likely won’t do all of them one after another but spread them out and do other requests in between to spread my love equally among my followers :p

Before you ask, Vexin is excluded of that rule, since she collects requests for me and is in return featured in most of those drawings and gets the odd “stand alone” picture as reward.

That may change in the future if I get much more requests than I can handle!

Is there even more to know? I’m flattened by your wall of text already!

Nope, there isn’t more, just be nice to me and I’m nice to you as Gollum would say ^.~

If there are still open questions feel free to ask away and I’ll include them in this post!

Sincerely

Ratnap
