Hey I just wanted to tell you that I’m really uncomfortable with the fact you draw nsfw of duck and fakir, I really wish you wouldn’t cause even though their aged up in the drawings it’s still very icky to think to draw nsfw of those characters when they are minors in the show :( I don’t want to unfollow because your honestly such a huge inspiration to me as an artist so I just hope you’ll take this into consideration

Some things to consider:

It is perfectly understandable, and 100% okay, to be uncomfortable, with ANYTHING I create. How you feel about my art is valid and you should only ever follow me if you are comfortable interacting with what you see on this blog.

To follow up on number 1, I have no problems with you unfollowing my account for ANY reason. This is the internet. You set your boundaries. I would never want you to compromise your personal safety over my blog.

NSFW art will ONLY ever be shared on this account as a link to a locked twitter account that is NOT safe for minors. If the age of an account is not shared, I will assume you are a minor and block you. Any images shared are cropped and safe to share on this blog. I will also always tag these pieces with NSFT (Not Safe For Tumblr) so you can block the tags on these posts and avoid them.

It is also perfectly understandable, and 100% okay, for me to post whatever content I like about whatever I am interested in, regardless of how that makes YOU feel. Number 1 and number 4 CAN and DO coexist and both have validity.

Yes, they are minors in the show. No, the pieces I make are NOT of them during the canon timeline of the show.

"Aging up" a character happens in real life - its called "aging", alternatively, "time passing" which happens, to all of us, regardless of our current age. This is also a show about talking animals. We don't HAVE to obey reality and law, but I choose to in this context.

That out of the way, some personal thoughts:

The way I engage with these two characters, in particular, is very, very personal. I often inject what I did not get (a loving relationship with someone I can trust, the freedom to explore the relationship both romantically and sexually and be safe, fundamental milestones and experiences for first-time relationships) into their dynamics because that's how art works. We put ourselves into everything, stories do not happen in a vacuum. As a queer writer with a difficult-to-admit, traumatic experience with sexuality and romance, I think it would be incredibly cruel to ban both myself, and artists like me, from exploring what was denied us through characters that make us feel safe. Not to mention, for me at least, the media we consume grows WITH us. I was a minor when the show aired, and when I consumed it. They were minors with me. Now, they are consenting adults with me.

I do not share this with you, or anyone else, for pity reasons, but for context. I take character exploration very seriously, and try to help characters grow while honoring where they came from in canon. But even if I didn't, that would not stop me, nor anyone else, from having access to a basic right as an artist.

Tl;Dr -- I want you to feel safe, and I will install measures to make things that make you feel unsafe as optional as possible, above hiding what makes me feel safe. If that results in an unfollow, please honor both our boundaries.

EDIT: I will not answer any more asks expanding on this topic, as I think it’s redundant and I’m not interested in discussing the topic further - I appreciate your thoughts and concerns regardless 🙏🏻

Idk if making art memes is considered lame now but idc, I rarely find ones I want to do so I made my own lol. I'll be reblogging it to my own art blogs for requests, but feel free to save & use if you wanna!

id fumble him so bad

she was like an angel to me

Holy shit I've finally got it.

Came home early from the Great Outback trip of '23. It's been waiting at the post office since the 12th.

I am legitimately so happy with it. Going forward I am gonna make tweaks to future volumes cause they're gone be chunky Bois but for this one Im happy to post the files now.

So I give you, a physical copy of Ep 1-3 of @somerandomdudelmao series. (Featuring a cover by @melancholic-rowen )

If any one has a recommendation on how to make the files available please let me know, would rather not go google docs. As soon as I have a good way I will post em up. Now to get back to working on Vol 2.

Also massive thanks to Cass and Rowen for allowing me to do this with thier amazing works.

here's an update for all the "tOuRiSm iS fOr ThE pEoPlE" fucks. always remember that the second anyone steps foot on that land in the name of "tourism" or any other haole institution, that is colonizing&that person is a fucking explicit modern colonizer who made the conscious decision to be one and has spent a lot of fucking money on that trip to get their title. only that kine want more of their kin there-- don't pretend that shit is for anyone else.

drop dead of spontaneous combustion specifically, not even the sharks would want that pīlau fucking meat.

Akihiko becoming a cop is something that simply doesn’t happen in the coma route cuz Shinji would see that shit and be like Aki what the actual hell is wrong with you

Hawkfrost and Brambleclaw dynamic to me

in which family is complicated

experimentin w shit heehee

one piece scribbles i did to loosen up a little bit

its so hard to watch time pass when things like careers and assignments exist. what do you mean im supposed to take that seriously

Soooo, funny story. @heckitall started a very cool crossover between the Rise and 03 TMNT and I. May have. Immediately became invested.

Like. I was worried for days about one of the characters. Soooo I made some fanart. And then couldn't decide which version I liked best, so I dunno. Here's three! With bonus detail shots under the cut.

It's called 'Same as it Never Will Be' and is linked in their pinned post!

Images 1-3: rendered illustrations of (on the left) the cast of TMNT 03, and toddler versions of Rise Leo and Donnie. 03 Raph and Leo are in the foreground, holding injured Rise Leo and Donnie. R!Donnie is biting 03 Leo, while squirming and reaching to the right, and holding R!Leo's hands. R!Leo is being held by an angry 03 Raph. In the background, in the TMNT 03 lair, 03's Splinter, Casey, April, Leatherhead, and an injured Mikey are looking on in various stages of amusement or resignation.

On the right is an illustrated render of the Rise cast meeting up after the events of the movie. R!Raph and Mikey are in the foreground, with Raph holding a toddler version of 03!Donnie, who is upset and reaching toward the left. Mikey is also upset, and gesturing at Raph. They are both visibly injured and battle damaged. In the background of a destroyed New York, scuffed up R! April, Splinter, and Casey Jr are running and swinging their way towards Mikey and Raph, all looking visibly distressed.

Both illustrations are framed and bordered by white-gray mist, with ripple patterns overlaying parts of the whole image. The title of the work and authors name ( 'Same as it Never Will Be' and Heckitall) are written on the bottom border in purple text with blue spray paint effect behind them. Between the two illustrations is a representation of a portal with the the abbreviation of the title (SAINWB) in white over top of it.

There are small differences between images 1-3 in terms of lighting and coloring effects.

Images 4-7 are detail shots of the two illustrations with some lighting effects removed.

holy shit Scuffed atlas art? real???? you cant even See the top of the hat but Once i make a finalised Design itll look Kinda like the ones in the Images :3
