Once again @tmaappreciationweek gets me to finish something I wanted to draw for a while now. In one of the Magnus Protocol streams (I think it was the Kickstarter pre-launch stream?) Jonny or Alex said something about a scrawny, beaten up street cat Admiral (and something about him being a ginger) and my mind immediately went to draw parallels to Jon getting beaten up all the time in S3. So Day 2: Animals of TMA - The Admiral. Again. Won't be able to get something done for every day cause it's con crunch season! But I can't just pass over an opportunity to draw The Admiral. I just love cats...

Drew the guys for day 4 of @tmaappreciationweek

Fellas is it gay to sit on the couch with your boyfriend while he stares into space and his speech bubbles are just a random screenshot of a wikipedia article

Day 4 of @tmaappreciationweek: Crossovers!

"Which is why you bring a homeless man covered in blood and lord knows what else into the Archives!?"

FINALLY have an excuse to draw these guys! Behold! A Malevolent and TMA crossover that EVERYONE asked for! Been writing this bad boy for a while (can be found here on AO3) and would highly recommend if you enjoy some goofy shit, Malevolent, and fix-it AU's ;)

Moth Jon!

I'm on a role with art this week lets see how long its lasts

Day 3 of @tmaappreciationweek = Alternate Universe

I was kind of stumped with this one so have a moth Jon AU! I've been working on this for a while so enjoy!

[ID: Digital drawings featuring Mori, who is a cat, and Oliver Banks drawn on a red background. Mori is a slim black cat with gigantic yellow eyes and small fangs poking out of his mouth. Oliver is a thin black man with dark skin, dimples, and piercings, and he is wearing a gray sweater. The drawing on the left is of Mori sitting with his tail out beside him, smiling, and on the right is a drawing of Oliver from the chest up with the upper half of his face out of frame, with Mori sprawled over his shoulder with his front legs sticking out. Mori is smiling and squinting, wall-eyed, with his cheek mushed against Oliver's face, and Oliver is smiling as well. end ID]

~~~~

using @tmaappreciationweek's "what if" and "original character" prompts for today as an excuse to draw Mori. oliver's black cat that i gave him when i thought "what if oliver had a kitty cat"

he's a silly little rescue and the light of oliver's life through all the death prophet junk. the more i draw him the more cartoony he becomes.

@tmaappreciationweek day 5: friendships

they're besties your honor

Day 1: Fave Main Character / Pre-Canon

@tmaappreciationweek

local man who is so traumatized but still acts silly to make his beloved friends laugh 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

@tmaappreciationweek Day 5: What If? What if they kissed after Jon went to America, huh?? What if?????

Martin first realized how desperately he wanted to kiss Jon in the aftermath of what was apparently his second kidnapping. He'd gingerly helped clean and rebandage Jon's wounds, touched Jon's skin as little as possible, and made them both tea as they sat in the quiet, dim break room. Looking over the brim of his mug, he'd been struck with the feeling, that he'd like to kiss it all better for Jon. He hadn't been unaware of his feelings before that, of course, but it was something akin to being hit by a truck, and he'd choked on his tea. Jon's subsequent frown and murmured, "Okay?" had done unfair things to Martin's heart. But Jon was thoroughly traumatized, couldn't handle skin contact at all—Martin had accidentally touched a finger when passing over tea, and he'd almost completely broken down. So Martin tied his feelings in a series of complicated knots and dropped them into the sea—they were far from relevant right now.  Then, the phone calls. So many phone calls while Jon was in America, nearly every night, and the intimacy had grown. What started as relatively stilted, mostly on-topic phone calls had given way to casual, friendly conversation, and then soft mutterings of, "I miss you." So Martin had made up his mind. He wouldn't push, of course, but with the potential end of the world from clowns and mannequins looming over their heads, he'd decided there was no point in holding back his feelings, in at least saying aloud the growing affection in his ribs—affection he had started to hope was returned. Looking at Jon now, Martin's holding onto every piece of remaining courage he has. Jon's smile is soft and a bit sleepy, but his eyes are shining as they sit down for tea, as though this is routine. Jon is telling a story about his flight back, something about a seat partner who didn't believe in sharing arm rests, and Martin is grinning. The words don't matter, not really, just that Jon is here, telling this story, and that Martin can see he's alive and whole and not kidnapped again. Christ, Martin loves him. Martin chokes on his tea, reminiscent of that night weeks ago, when the intensity of his desire to comfort Jon had lighted itself upon him. "Martin?" Jon asks, eyebrows furrowing and one hand reaching out for Martin. "Are you all right?" Still coughing a bit, Martin nods frantically, trying to clear his throat. He stumbles over his words a few times, but somehow manages to convince Jon that he's not dying from his own tea. (That would've been embarrassing.) Whatever else Jon was going to have said, his face curves into a fond smile, and the lines around his mouth crinkle as he says, "I missed you." Giving one more cough, this one mostly to cover his embarrassment, Martin repeats softly, "I missed you, too." "O-oh," Jon says, eyes widening in surprise a bit, but he looks delighted. "R-really?" Martin laughs, he can't help it. "Of course, Jon," Martin replies, still smiling. He could leave it here, let the moment pass, but Jon's eyes—happy, surprised, a little sad—spur him on, and Martin yanks on the bundle of courage he'd amassed. "I'm mad about you, you know." Jon seems to have no idea what to say to this, and Martin can feel himself getting redder and redder as the seconds tick by.  He's considering retracting his words—well, not exactly, but trying to smooth them over and then make as graceful an exit as possible—when Jon stands abruptly.  Martin realizes the enormity of his fuck-up and begins to apologize, but the words die on his tongue when Jon stops in front of Martin's chair. Jon places his hands atop Martin's shoulders and then he's kissing Martin, and Martin finds he doesn't care one wit about an apology.

Day 4 of @tmaappreciationweek: Crossovers! This bunch would be fun right? Something, something, eye monster tricks/possesses them to do irreversible damage. Bonus points for dying! (Does being turned to gold count as death?)

Btw I chose Ford over Dipper because I don't think his actions lead to Weirdmageddon per se. He wanted to shut down the portal for example and ultimately it was Mabel who gave Bill the rift. And Ford craved unending knowledge and let Bill help him to pursue it which led to the portal being built in the first place.

@tmaappreciationweek day 1: favorite main character!!

forgot it was starting today but heres the guy! i think hes also my favorite character to draw, hes just so silly

In honour of @tmaappreciationweek Day 2: Voice Actor Appreciation, because I can’t do fanart or anything fun like that, here’s a collage of me gushing over Ben Meredith:
