Regretevator Doodle Dump!!

Scag's the most recent I drew, Bive and DrRETRO were drawn weeks ago.

Also not in my regular style this time!

I (accidentally) developed this style from the DrRETRO doodles (who's also the first NPC I drew). I really like doodling this way and I wanna share these because whale🐳... I really love these! A lot!

💜 [ Reblogs help me a lot. Thank you! ] 💜

A lot of older TMNT fans dislike the ROTTMNT designs for making the brothers barely look like turtles but actually I enjoy them looking mostly humanoid

They resemble the person they were mutated with a lot, they look like new species entirely and they went into drastically different direction with sharp, pointy dynamic lines, rather than huge round blobified shapes the other series were going for

Plus the designs and thought process behind each of them are amazing

Like, I could rant about Donnie's design quirks for ages

#rottmnt #also i'm still emotional of them all looking like lou jitsu in a way and how they would most probably have human forms resembling him a lot #as for donnie you won't be seeing me shutting up about him being a softshell and actually using his tech to enhance his shell anytime soon #his eyebrows are also the staple of his personality #and how he has several sciency accessories all over him to make it clear what he does #and how different he looks without any of them #how much his design changes just without the goggles alone #or mask

I think its a rite of passage to make an au at least once, and ive been thinking super hard about how Sonic raised tails lately. So obviously an age swap au had to happen. Aka, the au in which they are both team turbo nerd and Tails needs a Vacation as a dire medical suggestion. (more rambling in tags)

#tails the fox #miles tails prower #sonic the hedgehog #sonic au #age swap au #I dont have that many strong emotions about this one! i just wanted to get it done i think #but ill definitely redo this at some point #Sonic at least had the most intense education possible and even though hes not a prodigy he can build with the best of them #the au where they both end up mega nerds #but sonic is a nerd who does olympic level sprints #i like to think he uses a lot of tech in battle but speed is still his strongest asset #he just uses tech to enhance that speed and better utilize it #tails is so so so so tired but he does his best to be a good brother #sonic wasnt there when he was a kid so he had to learn to survive being bullied and abandoned but he found sonic eventually #and was inspired by his resilliance #and sonic admires tails so much his big brother is so smart like whoa #even when he doesnt get it he pretends to to try to impress him #get my boy miles some r and r ASAP #sonic fanart #sonic the hedghog fanart #mogs art

something that really made me stop and interrogate my inherent knee jerk emotional reaction against ai art was asking myself if there really is a meaningful difference between someone cutting up images and pasting them together to make a collage without citing sources or getting permission for every image they used in the collage, and an ai generating a new image using models trained on existing images without citing courses or getting permission for every image used in the new image - if that's even possible, which i'm coming to understand isn't how the technology even works. like if your fundamental argument against ai is because it doesn't cite sources or ask for permission and change someone's art without their consent, there are a lot of non-ai art forms that involve that, and they've existed for a lot longer than ai has. when faced with this i don't think the answer is "well everyone who has ever made a collage or remixed a song is doing evil plagiarism too" so that leaves us at having to abandon this specific argument against ai for the same reasons.

and we have to ask ourselves, if we were to go after everyone who ever remixed a song or made a collage without permission, who would that benefit exactly? because the average person couldn't afford to sue someone for using their photo in a collage without consent, only corporations could. much like how copyright law has made music companies a tonne of money and serves to protect their interests, i don't think expanding copyright law is the answer here. which is why i don't think arguments against ai that focus on intellectual property are actually helpful, the problem isn't inherent to the technology but rather the economic system we live in.

#asking people to interrogate their gut emotional reaction to this and actually think it through makes them very upset though #and a lot of ppl dont want to do that but theres so much anxiety and stress in online spaces re ai art hurting artists #that i feel its really important that we recognize that the problem isnt generative art because weve already been doing that #the problem is that capitalists will take advantage of every development in tech to further exploit us #and that shouldnt make us anti tech but rather anti capitalist lol

resistance base floor plan/layout! i do not know what i'm doing nor am i shooting for total realism, but all of these ideas have been rotating in my head for ages and im having issues creating concept art for the setting without some kind of baseline to work off of so tada

#bad future #im not sure how much of the infrastructure was added on #also i use donnie tech to excuse a lot of things #i am aware #but once he dies he haunts it all. the walls. the food. the air #also i hope it works as a visual representation #of how far thin he stretches himself. he does it all baby!#anyway idk anything abt building construction im treating this shit like sims

Something tells me that Wrecker and Echo have an entire comm/text thread that is just devoted to Wrecker venting to Echo (and Echo providing counseling). The things Wrecker vents about include, but are not limited to:

Wrecker still feeling a lot of guilt about not getting Tech back up to the sky-car safely (being the Strong One didn’t save their brother), compounded with them losing Omega shortly thereafter and being betrayed by Cid.

Hunter being Not Okay while they were searching for Omega, and Wrecker doing his best to hold it together

Hunter running into situations half-cocked and without a plan, and Wrecker is extra worried about his brother because of this.

Omega’s safe and home! And she brought a puppy. This isn’t so much a rant as it is a gleeful declaration, followed by a flurry of pics for proof.

Wrecker needing a friendly ear to talk through how he had been worried it’d be a trap/not Omega when they got her message, and now he’s feeling guilty for feeling that way.

Crosshair’s return and all of Wrecker’s complicated feelings about that.

Hunter and Crosshair being at each other’s throats and sniping at one another. Wrecker is getting tired of breaking up their very loud disagreements. (“Mom! I need help!”)

#our emotionally intelligent wrecking ball needed to vent to momma echo #he’s dealing with a lot okay?#handling a Not Okay Hunter solo was a lot #and there’s so much stuff from getting Omega and Crosshair back that he needed to talk about and unpack #this whole family needs therapy #star wars #the bad batch #tbb crosshair #tbb wrecker #tbb echo #tbb omega #tbb hunter #tbb batcher #tbb tech #the bad batch season 3 #the bad batch spoilers

On CX-2 Being Tech

Don't get me wrong, I am still on the "CX-2 is Tech" delulu train but we only have 4 episodes left and if it is him, how are we supposed to tackle all of that in a short amount of time?

We're talking a revelation that it is Tech, the Batch coming to terms with that, whatever brainwashing he will have had to go through (is that gonna be reversed, is he left like that?), having him come back to the squad, or maybe even accepting that he is just gone now etc. etc.

That's a hell of a lot to fit in and I'm not totally convinced they can do it 😬

#like 'domicile'?#are you kidding me?#that can't be a coincidence #but there's so much to unpack there #and not a lot of time to do it #especially on top of everything else #star wars #the bad batch #the bad batch spoilers #tbb spoilers #tbb tech

Do we think Seven can feel all of her face and body?

The Borg know when things happen in the collective and can arguably feel them, but when an individual is severed from the Borg, that expansive collective consciousness is violently narrowed down to a pinpoint. We know Seven has pretty good proprioception because she agrees that her shoulder hurts when the EMH finds that her biradial clamp is off by 0.3 microns. Because of this, she arguably has a very good understanding of how things in her body feel. That said, she doesn't really complain about physical pains, and we really only see her struggle when things are emotionally difficult.

Since she had been in the collective since she was 6, she wouldn't necessarily know that certain sensations are not normal. If there were any issues that happened as a result of her assimilation, she wouldn't necessarily know they are unusual after she was severed because that's what she has always known.

So back to my original question: can she feel all of her face? Looking at the placement of her facial implants, they are both on the trigeminal nerve. The cheekbone implant is right around the root of the nerve, and the eyebrow piece sits right over another branch. Trigeminal neuralgia is crazy painful, but she could have trigeminal neuropathy and think it's completely normal because she doesn't have a typical baseline to compare it to. I imagine the Borg implants must interrupt some nerve functioning to ensure that the drones move as they are supposed to, and the nano probes would repair any damage that would affect their functioning. But the Borg would consider physical discomfort irrelevant, so relatively minor issues like neuralgia, pins and needles, or any other unusual sensations would not be considered an issue.

#bodily autonomy in a collective existence #strange territory to be sure #but like how much do the Borg fuck with nerves #I would bet she has trigeminal neuropathy just because of the placement of her implants #like maybe the emh would find the issues but Borg tech is still new to Starfleet medicine and he would be in largely uncharted territory #I have more thoughts but they are still nebulous #I don't fully remember where her arm implant is placed but it's not on the exposed elbow nerve #I spend a lot of time thinking about fictional future medicine don't mind me #and the trigeminal nerves are sensitive little sunflowers #have you ever had a conduction test on your Trigeminal nerve? ask your emh today #meta #not like polished meta just a burst of wtf about the Borg #start actually writing my thoughts down again #not even going on main tags with my crack analysis idk #clearly I miss boyager #melts into oblivion

Hey guys just another drawing of the thr- wait what happened to them.

(bonuses + notes under cut)

i've actually been sitting on these designs since september - october/november. The color are... subjective to change. I chose Mac and Winn's colors today. I think Winn's is fine but Mac's keeps throwing me off. Here's the first drawings I did for Mac and Winn.

I like to imagine they're in their own little department. Something to do with tech like an IT department (also to kind of play off of how they're not in the game but run a lot of important events outside of it). So they're not any cog type in specific (like boss, board, law, etc..etc).

Mac's a Macintosh 128k and Winn is just a computer mouse (the tail is supposed to be a little mouse pointer and those are wires in the back. Technically speaking, wires for mice are in the front by the scroll but we can get inaccurate here). Mac's screen can change colors and display options. Together they make the Matrix Team

Here's some Brian's that I did during class last semester. He was originally a mouse, but I found trying to design him was much more annoying than I thought. Then one day during class I had a beam of light hit into my head and made him a big. He's not specific or anything, I tried to do just a stereotypical bug (like how all dogs/cats in game are the same type). He has a triangular head to match his faceplate though :-] you could maybe imagine an ant if you'd like. I figure ants work like cogs in a machine.

The desk jockeys are there too! I haven't really drawn them, but they remain somewhat the same. Instead of being made by toons to look like cogs, they're now made by cogs to look like toons. They also can't teleport so it takes Brian 3x longer to get places, but do they act as multitoons kind of.

This is the only drawing I really have to show my design basis. And YES they are still taller than him because its funny. Ok I think that's all

#clemart #ttcc #toontown corporate clash #mac opsys #winn dos #brian ttcc #prethinker #a lot of my notes are in the bonus so i dont really have much to add #technically digerati works better via definition than matrix team but i like the word matrix better.#I think Mac's suit name could be alpha geek (singular individual who is most competent in tech) . becuase its funny and tech related #Idk about Winn's. I thought Mouse Potato because of the entire mouse theme but its not really fitting definition wise. will keep searching #Also Brian clicks/taps his mandibles when he talks or is thinking really hard OR feels an emotion very strongly #I have a sc of some notes on my twt if I missed any on here

oh my god i love your art so much! what are some of your biggest inspirations?

Hi! Thank you so much :D It makes me so soooo happy to hear that!

I have a few inspirations for different things. In regards to backgrounds, my 3 big ones are all artists who worked on Hanna-Barbera cartoons (examples shown below, respectively in each row): Bob Gentle, Art Lozzi, and Monte (Fernando Montealegre)

I also really like Samurai Jack backgrounds, I am unsure of who all the artists that worked on the show art, but I can identify Scott Wills' works (he has a site btw)

Also the bg art style of My Life as a Teenage Robot (I don't know who the artists are for these though)

Character designs, I am heavily inspired by various character designs of Stephen Silver (mainly Clerks & Kim Possible)

Also My Life as a Teenage Robot, Clone High, Total Drama, Dexter's Lab, & Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy are some big ones for character design inspiration as well. (Also Hanna-Barbera designs)

My biggest inspiration in regards to my art as a whole and my principle on making art is pretty much just mid-century art (approx. 40s - 70s), which if you google, there is no single main style. There's similar style trends (simple, abstract, geometric shapes) but every artist is just experimenting with different tools and techniques which makes it really fun for me, with not having to worry about having a "consistent style" or whatever. Animation wise, I also like UPA's style but my pet peeve is everyone grouping mid-century styles as "UPA". School House Rock is another good one. Also various Soviet cartoons too.

I really like the works of mid century illustrators/graphic designers: Bernice Myers, Aurelius Battaglia, Jim Flora, Mary Blair, and Lou Peters among others.

Also love the works of Saul Bass, Alvin Lustig, and Paul Rand.

There's also these 2 illustrations in particular that I'm a huge fan of but am unsure who made it (unfortunately a lot of graphic artists during this time are uncredited or I can hardly find anything about them/other examples of their works):

I also like travel posters (David Klein in particular) and National Park posters made by the WPA

Thanks for asking! I always love to share my inspirations.

#asks #i love 20th century art and design so much ive taken so many courses in it and its history hehehehe........#context is that the way people drew this way was partly due to tech limitations of the time but also embracing machines and the future #which is why a lot of it is geometric shapes

I feel like there is a strong correlation to Frank Hubert’s initial subtext with Dune (its islamic religious themes, a premise setting an empire against local populaces, the attention towards ecological developments in desert environments with a bias towards temperate zones from outsiders wanting to “enrich” the land), and all of the recent developments in Gaza and its history, both with the original influences to Hubert’s novel and the timing of a blockbuster adaptation happening while international focus grows towards Palestine, that is going unmentioned outside of the usual jokes and memes

#dune #palestine #gaza #free gaza #science fiction #media #Like yes the popcorn bucket is dumb and tone deaf marketing #but like you have a lot of connections #lot of it was very much allegorical to the real like events that took place during the time of the books conception #Including the good guy faction still imposing their own idea of correct environment by introducing a bunch of their own agriculture #When natives to the region do have their own tech and plants to live from #because they know their land and how to live in it #Oh and also spice being a resource being plundered for great profit that a imperial society is reliant on and will kill for
