Hello! It's been a while since I've shown off my version of the turtles so I've got some April and Mikey for ya!

Notes Below if ya want to learn about these goobers:

Little weird to start with a middle child but Mikey is the second youngest of the brothers at 14. He is a southern painted turtle and the artistic generalist and social butterfly of the family.

Despite his sunshiney and dumb appearance, he is the most emotionally intelligent and observant of his siblings. Mikey uses this gift for both good and evil, encouraging his brothers to communicate openly and healthily as well as having an uncanny ability to read their enemies/ when they’re lying and who is and is not trustworthy. He has quite the silver tongue and gets away with a lot.

April is a 21 year old college student who lives in a very small apartment building in the suburbs surrounding CSU Los Reyes, the school she attends. The turtles see her as their 'cool' older sister who can do anything and go anywhere she wants. While working towards her Anthropology degree, she runs a blog on local legends and cryptids, believing them to be fun stories until she finds out just how true they are. Suffice it to say... she does not get much sleep.

April actually meets Mikey first, on a rare rainy night pulling a Pennywise, watching the world from inside a rain gutter with shiny pure white eyes. Since then, she's done as much as she can for these kids and their mom between buying fresh groceries, showing the turtles elements of human society, and spying on The Foot.

#lively's turtles #I should make a post about Los Reyes huh?#Surprise! The setting's not NYC #Prefer a Gotham or Metropolis over real world cities with real world maps and facts #Just more freedom for me that way #tmnt #tmnt au #tmnt april #tmnt mikey #main inspirations:#rottmnt #tmnt 2012 #tmnt 2003 #tmnt idw #at least a little bit

Deltarune: Process Of Assimilation Concept AU

Process Of Assimilation is a horror-centric, insert-friendly Deltarune AU that focuses on the residents of Cyber City, the protagonist, and Spamton G Spamton himself. CW // body horror, losing control of body, gunshot at end of song The protagonist is unrelated to Spamton in a familial sense / is an adult (so not Kris). They are open for oc inserts but canonly have history with Spamton of some sort. At the start of the AU, the protagonist is outside of Cyber City. Spamton was at his lowest; post downfall. He was prone to lash out, and desperate to make some sort of progress in his life. He harbored deep-seated resentment towards those who sat back and watched his descent; desperate to be the Big Guy of Cyber City again; or perhaps merely to secure a sale. Anything, just anything.

Given his obsession with his crash and burn; Spamton had found himself vulnerable to a phenomenon merely nicknamed "the anomaly". The nature of this enigma, whether it be a virus or a glitch (or something entirely incomphrensiable, remains shrouded in ambiguity as no explicit explanation provided. Nevertheless, it gradually engulfs Spamton, gradually usurping his body and mind. It slowly alters his very essence, driving him towards infecting the entire Cyber City. The process of his assimilation initially caused him distress as he fought against it; however, over time, this pain transformed into a sense of satisfaction, as he experienced a newfound level of power previously unknown to him. It was sweet as sugar to him, and the newfound power he felt in his non existent veins was something he couldn’t let go of. In the midst of his transformation, he became aware that he could subject the residents of Cyber City to this anomaly, thereby bending reality to his own perfect vision.

Spamton discreetly spread the anomaly among pedestrians strolling along the city's sidewalks or unsuspectingly traversing the alleyways. His careful approach is rooted in his limited understanding of the workings of this anomaly, as he strives to ascertain how it works.

A slow infection is much more merciful. The victim does not typically begin to exhibit a total alteration of their physical form until several days to weeks following assimilation. This variant causes the individual to experience a gradual shift in their personality over time; rendering them more apprehensive and inclined to emotional outbursts. Their mere presence in any given space emanates a pungent odor of contagion; however, with time, this scent becomes increasingly pleasant to their senses. The concept and AU itself draws inspiration from Kiss Me (Kill Me)

youtube

In stark contrast, a sudden infection evokes anything but mercy. It induces excruciating agony, subjecting the victim to an overwhelming influx of thoughts, leaving them trapped within their own mind as their corporeal form undergoes spontaneous and grotesque transformations. Their bodies become nothing more than mere puppets under the control of Spamton. Their actions are dictated solely by his will, despite their continued awareness of their surroundings.

Sudden assimilation profoundly impacts the victim's physical state, resulting in a warped semblance of their former selves. Their mouths often become grotesquely elongated, their limbs drag on indefinitely, and similar abnormalities manifest. Moreover, once assimilated, they are rendered incapable of speaking in their own will. Any attempt to speak culminates in a spewing of unintelligible and distorted sound. During the process assimilation, if they attempt to speak, their customary voice alteres into something resembling garbled text-to-speech. Upon full assimilation, they are entirely deprived of speech unless Spamton is puppetting them. Should they make effort to speak post assimilation, their mouths emit static, spilling over with the “flesh” of the anomaly.

The worst kind of assimilation, however, lies in groups. During excessively violent assimilations, a possibility arises wherein victims may conjoin and form what is commonly referred to as "amalgamations". They are rendered permanently fused and any attempts to disentangle them are excruciatingly painful for the amalgamation's entire corporeal form.

Upon assimilation, they are unable to die; instead in a state of limbo between life and profound darkness. They are spectators, helpless witnesses to the complete takeover of their being.

Despite the abhorrent nature of what he’s doing, Spamton fails to realize himself that he is the villain of the story. His own perception of reality has been warped by this anomaly, endowing him with a rosier perspective while reality contradicts his delusion. As the city itself falls dim; every advertisement around the city is unceremoniously supplanted by Spamton's own face, reminiscent of his bigshot days. Swatch, Blue, a select number of other individuals, alongside the protagonist, stand as the sole people who evaded assimilation (at least to start). Yellow, Orange, and Pink had succumbed to assimilation; while a significant number of other addisons have become amalgamated.

The protagonist, upon returning to Cyber City, bears witness to the dire state of affairs, as most of the city has fallen under the influence of Spamton’s hivemind. The city now lacks its once vibrant essence, with the sole remnants of color emanating from the advertisements.

The protagonist managed to capture the attention of one of the assimilated citizens, whose eyes had become consumed by a static; just like the others. Spamton can see through them; and as mentioned prior; there is pre-existing history between the protagonist and Spamton. The only way they managed to escape was through Blue and Swatch. Out of the survivors, Swatch had become the core leader during the take over (Queen having been assimilated herself and trapped away). Blue, the protagonist, and Swatch are all individuals that Spamton held genuine care for, albeit it all but the protagonist inevitably fall victim to assimilation. Swatch in an act of noble self-sacrifice allowed themself to be assimilated in order to protect the other two. Conversely, the circumstances surrounding Blue's assimilation remain enigmatic, posing an unresolved question. The AU is designed to be driven by mystery, and for things to be more open for the audience.

Spamton’s official design is also shrouded in mystery; the protagonist’s first altercation with him is while he’s in his final “Queen Bee” sort of form. He resides in the Mansion, his hivemind connected from the basement specifically. As of now, the visualization of many of the characters (aside from Pink, whose design is in the works) is up to people’s imaginations. There are canon design aspects of Spamton however, consisting of; Long fingers that are sharp at the ends but still puppet-like Neo-like attributes; at least one pair of big wings Glasses act like a searchlight beam Saliva and tongue are made out of pure static, and eyes are complete static underneath the glasses Has two to three pairs of arms Heart is exposed, tainted with the goop of the anomaly Chest is open, showing the heart He has fangs (either vampire or curved) Jaw can unhinge and unlock Very Very Large Neck can elongate outward almost endlessly

Drew a bunch of Marinettes in a bunch of different artists styles it was a lot of fun!!

Artists who's styles I mimicked: @buggachat @hamsternamedmarinette @ladybeug @sabertoothwalrus and @anna-scribbles all epic artists 🤟😎

#my art #marinette dupain cheng #miraculous ladybug #miraculous fanart #style mimic #sorry for the @s btw #yall should go follow those artists if you dont already also #this was sort of inspired by a post the three artists on the top row made #i think they all got together and drew with one another #which is really cool #but i was genuinely confused because i mimic styles a lot #and ive seen others do it too so i was just like #wow they really know each others styles really well #until i thought about it and read their posts some more #style mimicking is really freaking fun and i think its really good practice #and a good way to explore other ways of doing things #like you really have to learn new techniques and get out of your comfort zone #also anna scribbles i could not find a recent pic of marinette in her main outfit #so thats the only marinette i drew in different clothes cuz i couldnt find a more recent ref of you drawing it #anna scribble marinette has privileges thats the others dont #but ye #i also threw my own style in there as a frame of reference to what me draw like #ive drawn marinette before just not in a loooong while #sabertooth walrus was the hardest for me to mimic cuz they have a broad range in their style #so its like which sabertooth do i wanna be in this pic #Buggachat has such a distinct style thats very clean and consistent which is amazing so they were easy #being easy or hard arent bad things either it also has to do with like styles meeting up with one another #buggachats and mine arent too too different in some shapes and aspects #so yeah itd be easier plus they drew marinette like 3 sec ago so i have more recent of a ref #as opposed to sabertooth who i have a recent ref of ladybug but not marinette so we got two diff styles in one

Lan Wangji Goes To Lotus Pier AU: Part 3: Enveloping Feelings.

(Part 1, Part 2, Part 4 (soon))

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #lan wangji #Yungmeng Jiang training arc AU #I wanted to try out a different paneling style for this one - sorry I'm a day late! (there will still be a post tomorrow to keep on track)#The original 3 panel comic idea was fine but the point of this new schedule was to take time to push myself a bit more.#I was taking a look back through some comic artists I felt inspired by #and I really loved how Lynda Barry fills her gutters with patterns and doodles!#Obviously I'm not going as absolutely wild with it as she does but it was a great exercise!#I truly think the gutters are the most important and most overlooked part of any comic. There's lots going on in that space.#It's the same with timeskips. The implied movement between moments that we don't see changes depending on how wide that gap is #You're here for the funny tags so here's some that ties this time talk together:#I think LWJ was thinking about that second note from day 2 but it took him 7 days of hazing to commit it to paper.#I think he sends it a day later and immediately regrets it. Chasing down the messenger and everything.#You know if something actually happened to his brother he would never ever forgive himself for putting the bad vibes out there.#Third time skip was the hardest because there was so many possible flavours of jokes here. Day 8/9 was a personal favourite.#day 14 was also funny (week by week). I think the debate on 'how long does lwj take to catch feelings' is more or less:#'how long does it take for him to arrive at a particular stage of grief and yearning (and awareness of it all)#This is a symphony. There is an act by act structure. Every day he is fighting to keep his old sensibilities. He is losing so badly.#(I'll be returning to the main comic soon but there is more of this AU to come!)

AHEM!

Calling to any and all Mew/Two creators!

Sidia would like to make something called a "Holiday Card" and requests that you Mewtwos and Mews strike a pose for the camera!

Basically I was thinking like, one of those crappy family holiday photo cards, in reblog-chain form.

The only rule is your Mew/Two sona looks as cheesy holiday-esque as possible! No limits! Ugly sweaters, ornaments, those silly reindeer horn headbands, Santa hats, elf shoes, Hanukkah sweaters, whatever screams "holidays!" to you! Everything is welcome no matter what you celebrate, it all goes on the card! Reblog with your sona and pass it on!

The blank set is below to get you started, and have fun with it! Happy Holidays and enjoy!

#i was bored and wanted to do something for the creators who inspire me and hundreds of others to make mew/twos #pokemon #mewtwo #mew #shoutout to my best friend/brother Justice for being my main inspiration- Love you bro 💖#the obsidian mew au #<- thats my personal tag for sidia!

HEY! YOU!

You've probably heard by now, but from March 4th to 10th 2024, Help Gaza Children will be sending all their donations to families in northern Gaza, where food prices have skyrocketed even more than in the south. Their goal is $25K by the end of the week; at the time of writing this post, it's about halfway a quarter way there! (OG post about it) [EDIT: my mistake, I misinterpreted the numbers in the original post; evidently I cannot do arithmetic anymore]

This is their notion site, which has their donation link as well as additional info, their FAQ, important updates, and proof of purchases from donations they’ve gotten in the past. You can also donate directly to their paypal here.

As such, I'll be open for sketch commissions up from now (March 7th, 2024 ~02:20 PST) through March 10th in exchange for proof of donation to Help Gaza Children!

BASIC OVERVIEW:

Tier 1 - Basic head/bust sketch for $1-5 USD, +50% for basic color. Up to 3 characters.

Tier 2 - Basic screencap resketch for $5-15 USD, +50% for basic color.

Tier 3 - Posed sketch for $15-25 USD, 1-2 characters ONLY.

Tier 4 - Colored clean sketch: $25+ USD, 1-2 characters ONLY.

RULES:

Please provide a visual reference or detailed description of the character(s) you want drawn (and depending on the tier, a screencap or pose/expression you want to go with it)

DO'S: OCs, humans and human-like creatures, other creatures that don't have a lot of mechanical or anatomical detail (as in, I can TRY to do mecha stuff, but I think you and I will both be better of if I don't lol; can ask for further details)

DON'T'S: any NSFW stuff, real people currently alive (as in, historical figures in the setting of historical fiction may be okay, but other things may not be; can ask for further details)

If you've made your donation in a currency that is not USD, I'll give you something of equivalent value according to the tier based on whatever the conversion is at the time that I look it up. If one or both of our economies crashes spectacularly in between the time you send it and the time I look it up, I'm very sorry in advance

DISCLAIMER 1: I reserve the right to decline a commission for any reason; however, if this ends up being the case, I may reach out to you to see if we can come up with a middle ground that suits us both.

DISCLAIMER 2: I don't anticipate being able to do a lot of these, as I've got a full-time job that's in the ballpark ~80+ hours a week with really weird hours. That being said, depending on how far this goes, turnaround time will probably be ~2-3 months, give or take...something. I'll update you monthly until it's done.

FOR PERSONAL, NON-COMMERCIAL USE ONLY!

If you're interested in nabbing a sketch from me in exchange for your donation, email a screenshot (devoid of any personal info please) of your donation receipt and details of your sketch request (e.g. reference, tier, etc.) to [email protected]. For your donation to count for a sketch, it must be made after I wrote this post! (March 7, 2024 ~02:20 A.M. PST)

If you are NOT interested in nabbing a sketch from me, feel free to donate anyway!!

(And if you've got any questions about anything feel free to email, DM, or send an ask!)

#palestine #gaza #helpgazachildren #orv #undertale #commissions #donations #if this inspires even one extra person to donate that wouldn't otherwise have known about it I'll consider that a win #anyways I don't really expect this to go very far outside my circle if at all #so I'd appreciate some help in spreading the word #especially about the main fundraiser #these drawings are really secondary to the whole thing #but if you want to donate AND help a sad partially-art-blocked artist get unblocked! here is your opportunity!#if this goes somewhere I might do it again with other links #otherwise I'll just keep donating privately

Character Agency

Your characters should have agency. That means they have the power to influence what’s happening around them. We talked a bit about agency last time, revolving around how many female characters get agency stripped away from them. But overall, agency is important for any character to make them active participants in their own stories and feel necessary to the plot.

So here’s how you enable your characters agency:

1. They make active decisions

Okay this is the obvious one in theory, but still manages to sneak by in stories undetected. An active character with agency makes things happen through their decisions, instead of just their reactions. Take these two examples of a scene plan:

John is walking home when he is caught by a sudden storm. Looking to hide from the rain, he ducks under the cover of a bus shelter. Inside is Mya, and they strike up a conversation about their shared sucky situation.

Vs.

John is walking home when he is caught by a sudden storm. Luckily he brought an umbrella in his bag, and draws it out. Then, he sees Mya getting drenched by the rain ahead of him. He jogs to her, offering to share the umbrella. They strike up a conversation.

In the second example John isn’t just reacting but making a choice that’s changed something in the world. He may just happen to run into Mya, but it was his decision to run up to her, to offer her his umbrella. This action is a great indicator of his personality—he’s kind, trusting, and thoughtful even towards strangers.

That’s the most important part. A character who just reacts to everything doesn’t show off any personality, whereas action lets you demonstrate who your character is at their core (especially in difficult situations that call for difficult decisions).

2. Their actions have consequences

Similarly, the decisions your active character makes aren’t really decisions if they don’t impact any part of their world. For good or for bad, every decision your character makes should have a consequence. This could be shown through their relationships with others, their environment, or even their own mental, physical, or spiritual state.

If we’re going from the example above, John sharing his umbrella with Mya maybe starts their friendship, but her jealous, toxic boyfriend sees them through his window, making her and now his life difficult.

It’s a decision that has multiple consequences throughout his life—a new friendship, and also a new enemy. And Mya is also facing consequences—from her decision to walk with him, and his decision to offer her the umbrella.

Make sense? How do you ensure your character has agency?
