#we never get out of style

[poorly-drawn-mdzs]

Thank you all for voting in the poll to decide who was going to be the leader of the band! It turned out to be such a close race!

#poorly drawn mdzs #better drawn mdzs #mdzs #madam lan #A-qing #Band AU #(Reminder that Madam Lan's design inspiration goes to Qourmet!) #Madam Lan may have been the winner per vote count but there were so many strong advocates for A-Qing! #I played around with a few versions of what the 'poll winner' art was going to be and ultimately decided I wanted them both. #As any good theater love knows though - The battle for leadership was a ruse. They *all* get a chance to be featured. #Cooperation was the real end goal! However I do think these two have the best frontman energy of the group. #Or at least 'crowd favourite' energy. I also really loved hearing what people thought their vocal styles would be like! #This was probably one of my favourite polls to do and I love drawing these characters a lot B*) #I'd love to spend a bit more time in this AU so count on me bringing it back. #One thing I keep feeling like I need to redeem myself on is Madam Lan's Translucent skirt. I have *not* done the concept justice yet. #It is such a crack-platonic ship but I want to think Madam Lan and A-Qing would enjoy each other's company. #Possibly also with JYL as well. They can be like mutually beneficial therapy dogs to each other. #Madam Lan never got to see her kids grow up into teenagers after all. She only had sons. Never daughters. #Even if she saw her kids once a month we do know she treated them with so much love and kindness. #She would bite the shit out of YZY for yelling at JYL. What a sight to see. A-Qing would also start biting (for fun).

I am once again reiterating that Leo could and should be a figure skater because what are ice skates if not twin blades? What is dual blade swordsmanship if not a dance-like performance? Using the skates as blades themselves could let Leo make portals be his ice rink no? I rest my case. ⛸️

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #rottmnt headcanons #rise leo #would also like to add that he loves glam rock and unicorns! and what’s something glam rock unicorns and figure skating share #that’s right ✨glitter baby✨ #(his glam rock look unironically fits right in with figure skater attire ngl) #I also mentioned his incredible ability to hold a pose before which helps him here #plus his fighting style in general can easilyyy incorporate figure skating elements #I am this 👌 close to animating a quick gif to show what I mean by those ice skate portals #and I do specify figure skating over hockey because 1) hockey is CASEY’S thing 😤 and 2) hockey just. doesn’t fit Leo? not enough ✨pizzazz✨ #episode where the A-plot is Casey Sr showing her love for hockey and ending up playing a life or death game against yokai #she brings Raph in for help (since I like Casey & Raph friendship) and he gets the rest of the fam to help fill out the team #Casey Jr is especially excited but he’s never actually played hockey before #Leo tries to join and immediately accidentally makes a portal with his skates when he tries twirling to show off #the gang wins the match and the ep ends with Leo finally making it back completely beat up from accidental portals #the gang: wow we won! haha let’s go get hot chocolate it’s cold in here #leo: *desperately twirling over an active volcano* THIS IS THE OPPOSITE PLACE TO BE RIGHT NOW #actually to extrapolate on this more I really adore the idea of the boys’ abilities needing to be retrained as they grow #because their powers have the opportunity to grow #Mikey just randomly floating off and needing to be tethered down until he gets the hang of it lol #and stuff like that

I'd probably have to read the printed version and web version back to back at some point to note all the differences but... ough

#sorry i'm going to be excited about this comic for the next month #nofna #okay having finished this now-- #and sorry if this doesn't make sense to anyone who's completely unfamiliar with this comic in advance- #the 'popcorn ending' (printed version) is nice to see but i think the web version hits harder. if that makes sense #so i'm kinda tied on which ending i 'prefer'- i think both are good though #also considering i've read the web version a good 4-5 times and the printed version only once- i probably can't make that judgement yet #easy answer- i do like Nutsedge :] so it's nice to see the ending where nothing bad happens to her #but also- NT suddenly becoming a greenie-esque villain out of nowhere felt a little jarring #as well as SV suddenly turning a corner and becoming a 'good guy' (arguable)- considering the first three books are about #/him being too stubborn to change or accept any outside worldviews . Him suddenly coming to his senses felt out of place #<- probably biased because i like characters being bitter to the end and ultimately destroyed by their own hubris #the web version is probably‚ objectively‚ a bit better #but - #(spoilers- if you're planning to drop ~70 bucks on getting these books) #the conceit of SV actually perfecting his style‚ using it once‚ and then immediately getting tooth-brained- was pretty cool #assuming it's meant to parallel him spending months tormented by trying to perfect it while something's still missing- #and then dying before he can narrate it to the audience‚ so that we never know what he figured out. #hard to articulate these thoughts but tl;dr- popcorn ending also had a lot to think about

Exciting update on the "Making the House Awesome" front:

(The cat has already tried to use the mock-stonework as a scratching post, but not the door, which actually looks like wood. Cat logic.)

Anyways, this is looking great, and we're very excited.

#a tree; an enchanted doorway/portal (LOTR style); and a castle door #previously known as an unassuming wall; a closet door; and the door to the garage #the stonework turned out great #it didn't fight us nearly as much as the door decal did #and we had lots leftover so that's going in the kitchen too #our house has been declared 'nerd goals' by friends #which is the highest of praise #this is the kind of thing we wanted to do years ago when we first moved in #but never got around to #eternal thanks to the friend who's helping me make it happen now #we will all get to play D&D in a properly atmospheric room now #Making the House Awesome #may you all get to make your homes similarly cool #in the way that sparks the most joy

boss lady doodle that i started during cringetober but didnt finish (i rewatched way of the househusband yet again.) nya

#way of the househusband my beloved comfort show way of the househusband #i highly recommend it! its on netflix. selling points: #its hilarious. you’d think they would run out of jokes but they never do #it has a cool style where its basically a very elaborate comic dub of the manga so the episodes are compilations of skits. ideal for adhders #gender roles ehe #it has kitty cats #it has a kickass metal intro #yeah. #its sooooo funny #the plot is about a yakuza who left to become a househusband #and as the show goes on we see more ex yakuza working at the grocery store and walking their dogs and being absolute losers #also the women characters are written like people so its a good anime 👍 #tatsus autistic swag is unmatched #me and the bad bitch i pulled by being covered in blood #the rewatch triggered a bigger project that ill post soon #get hyped i guess #YIPPEE YAY HIBARI TORII I LOVE YOU i can be your sleepy loser husband if you want #art #my art #gokushufudou #way of the house husband #way of the househusband

the tarron siblings, plus a wild Zadra!! i think she should have gotten her own human design in the show

#tales of arcadia #3 below #3below #krel tarron #aja tarron #zadra 3below #i don't think she has a last name? #trollhunters #trying out a new kind of style thing here! i think it looks pretty good #its been a minute since i've done stuff that was more simple and shape-y #i especially like how zadra turned out #i think she'd have a cool undercut and some piercings. she has that kind of vibe #and i always thought it was a shame we never got to see her humansona in the show #like i get it. i wouldn't want to make a whole new model for her either #but still. i think it would have been cool #art #my art #weaverofink

Whelp, it's been 1 year since I've posted my first fanart on this blog. In turn, I decided to do a 1 year redraw of it, so cool to see my progress but I've still got a lot more I want to work on. Onto the next year 😤.

(Original below the cut)

#infinite the jackal #gadget the wolf #infidget #sth #sonic #sonic the hedgehog #but fr tho before last year i had NEVER drawn anything close to anthro and the sonic style is SO different than my usual art #been interesting trying to find a nice balance betwwen the sonic style and mine #anyway this year had a lot of ups and downs both in and out of the fandom but we keep on truckin #nothing else you can do but keep moving forward #i dont wanna get sappy on you all but yeah its mostly been fun- wouldnt still be here if it was otherwise #soup art

[artystaroc]

Could you perhaps draw Pomni pls she’s a little scrunkly

She's like a sad puppy, poor confused lil thing

#ask #anonymous #tadc #tadc pomni #arty draws #i Hate drawing only 3 fingers on the hands but i felt like i had to here #and i think they turned out shocklingly Not bad #ive never felt so compelled to completely break my artstyle before but here we are #i wanna just be able to do the most cartoony style imaginable but im too stuck in habit for that #ill get there eventually

[rassicas]

hi guys i had the scariest interaction of my life yesterday idk how else to put it but in greentext format >through weird series of events (long story) meet guy from my hometown whos also studying abroad in the same city as me >only know each other through irl connections, only message each other on LINE >my icon on LINE is an inkling >guy notices icon >brings up that he has never played splatoon but is very interested in getting the game >unprompted "is the lore as deep as i hear it is" >try to act normal >haha splatoon lore is wild >next day >meet irl for the first time, get lunch together >start talking about story mode since he saw spoilers/a play thru online >tell him that i thought that the thing with mr grizz being a bear was too predictable and that i thought there was a lot of holes in the plot, but i like picking apart what i love and that there was other stuff i liked >"your opinions remind me of this one youtuber i saw who didnt want mr. grizz to be a bear" >heart attack >shows video thumbnail >its my mr grizz theory video >"do you know this video?" >um yeah haha ive seen it >wonder if hes trolling and if he figured out i made it because of my voice or something >i say something like 'do you think i know the person who made it or' >"what?" >nvm >goes on to say he only watched the part about mr grizz being a bear >haha! >heart attack >HE REALLY DOESNT KNOW >I DONT TELL HIM

im still not going to say anything and see if he figures it out eventually because it will be. funny

#i literally never meet splatoon fans or potential splatoon fans irl so #i am not going to pass up this opportunity to a little harmless trolling hannah montana style #but yeah if/when he gets the game and if he finds my content again #especially if he finds my twitter im sure he will figure it out #or if we become friends on the switch

some of you guys think queerbaiting is just when your favorite queer ship isnt made canon and not a literal marketing tactic used to manipulate queer people into consuming their media

#and dont get me started on people saying a real human being is queerbait oh my god #‘harry styles is queerbaitng!!’ HOW?? BECAUSE HES NOT HOMOPHOBIC AND SHOWS HIS SUPPORT FOR THE COMMUNITY AT EVERY SHOW??? #THATS JUST CALLED BEING A DECENT HUMAN BEING #and if he is queer HE DOES NOT OWE YOU A COMING OUT!!!!!!!!! #think about the fucking word for a second #queer. bait. #BAIT. #the media is a fishing line the bait is the implication of a queer love story and we are the sad fish swimming up to reach it #but then the line is yanked out of the water #the bait has to be in the fucking water to be queerbait #some of you fishies are hallucinating #ill never forget that post that said steddie was queerbait like oh my fucking god #byler

[izzystizzys]

steddyhands soulmates brainworm where in some magical post-canon (maybe s1? s2?) timeline the revenge is boarded by (gasp) actual capable pirates

izzy isn‘t up on deck when it happens, which is how it happens in the first place, and quite frankly he had a bad feeling about dropping anchor this close to port (insert past blackbeard shenanigans that turned him grey a good decade before anyone else) but when does anyone ever listen to his years of experience and expertise on this clown boat anyways

and. ok interlude. obviously they’re soulmates. obviously izzy has said nothing about it. he’s a fucked up little man with the selfesteem of a wet limpet this is selfexplanatory. obviously ed and stede are Eyeing him, but stede’s too repressed to say anything about it and ed’s too unwilling to admit he’s a very similar brand of fucked up to do much about it.

so. back to the program. even izzy cannot fight a whole entire crew - given that it is both the size it should be for a ship twice as large as the revenge and actually trained, go figure. does he still try? absolutely. everything comes screeching to a halt when someone gets a gun aimed at black pete’s head though, and they’re all rounded up on deck. there is no getting out of this one, izzy knows - he’s been on the other end of this too often not to. he wonders which one they’ll kill first, maybe fang or ivan to make a point, they’re on the stronger end of the crew -

“well well, what have we here?” the captain says, stopping in front of izzy with a leer that would usually see him relieved of one of his hands. he lifts the sharp edge of his sword to izzy’s neck, tracing the edges of the swallow izzy is cursing himself for putting in such a visible spot. “the polite thing to do here seems to inform you for the sizeable bounty on your head, hands.”

izzy sneers out a get fucked, and realizes several things at once: 1, edward cut off his beard just a week ago last, and is currently lounging in the last silk robe onboard. 2, bonnet has not a single frippery left in his closet, and has been forced into the man’s equivalent of torture (sensible clothes). 3, there’s no way charlie vane, who’s currently backhanding him to the ground, didn’t recognize at least edward.

and, 4: it may have been a mistake leaving the man to die of starvation and also marooning three years ago. obviously he can hold a grudge. should’ve shot him and be done with it.

this, izzy thinks as he’s manhandled over to where they’ve set up a plank to cross to vane’s ship, is where on the queen anne, the crew would’ve jumped into one of blackbeards ingenius rescue plans. scratch that, on the queen this would’ve never happened because the people are competent. the revenge’s crew is just shouting a lot and- whoa, he’s upright again.

vane is still smiling, the unsettling fucker, when he circles izzy’s gloved wrist with iron pressure. “you know”, he says, conversationally, “i’ve always wondered, about your mark.” cold fingers slide the glove off his hand, roll up his sleeve. izzy tries to squirm away from it, tries to throw his head back and break someone’s nose, but this is not pirate playgroup - this is a group of actual competents, a fact he curses silently as the mark is exposed to open air, a perfect match for his captains’. there’s a sharp chorus of gasps and then horrible silence that izzy cannot face, closing his eyes instead.

“hm”, vane says, “thought so.” and then pain explodes at the back of izzy’s head, and the world really does fade away.

#steddyhands #ofmd fic idea #charlie saw izzy washing years ago and instantly decided to hold on to Sensitive Information #the prick (justified??) #i lovr izzynapping fics and i think he should get to damsel a bit (he will rescue himself while the revenge is still figuring out rigging) #izzy hands exists at the crossroads of pathetic little meow meow and only competent person for miles to me #ed and stede staring at each other: what the fuck #stede: did you know??? how did you not know??? you were married for twenty years!!! #ed: we were MARRIED??? #that bit will never stop being funny #having to contend with the fact that you’re head over heels for your best friend/worst enemy #oh no he’s hot! (true love edition) #oh no he’s also kidnapped and about to be hanged! (no clickbait) #they try to pull off a daring rescue only to find izzy lounging by the revenge holding charlie vane at gunpoint back on deck #he is after all the only competent person for miles #do they get their shit together or does izzy lalalala i cant hear what youre saying hands refuse to accept their love right away? #who knows all i know is i want them to schlonk it silly style after cringefailing out of rescuing izzy #increasingly unhinged tags warning

got a new sketchbook. one that is small and can be carried around in a bag easily while also havin the paper to support my more involved drawings. first page filled with doodles of my oc kandy. we are so so fuckin back

(and no marker bleeds on the back!! this is gonna be so fun. its a rendr sketchbook… a hardcover version was so scarce but i finally nabbed one. gonna cherish this lots)

#mayor doidles #mayors ocs #kandy #traditional art #been a while since i’ve used that tag eh #well i have a lot of ideas that will involve digital art but again we will be so back #uhhh what were my traditional art style tags again…….. #marker drawing #also i just had to show off the no bleed paper cuz it excites me so much #but i do feel like a douchebag. like an Influencer #still i am excited to get silly with this thing #i had a larger version of this sketchbook w the fancy paper w a softcover #but ugggh it was so big and i don’t like getting silly on a large scale. the pressure was immense #and i thought the small hardcover ones would never go in stock again so i just got a close enough one #hhh i’m a bad noodle… but i’ll try to make use of the other one i have #i will NOT be running out of this paper type any time soon

My ex bleached his hair and I was joking with my friend about him morphing into me post-breakup but he just posted a selfie and I kid you not I own (and have worn) every item he is wearing in the photo down to the exact sunglasses. He looks exactly like I did 2 years ago. This is a New Emotion

#something very poetic and full circle about it #because my 'romantic feelings' for him on my end turned out to mostly be gender envy #and then i slowly started to get my own style #but now he is stealing it #what if we never speak again but just keep stealing each others gender in perpetuity until we die

[canonkiller]

sometimes I feel like the things that impacted my art style are obvious and then I think about it and some of them probably Really Aren't

#obvious: hellboy (only read somewhat recently). httyd and mlp (inevitable by exposure time). dnd dragon art and neondragon how to books #also obvious: graffiti and comic art in general #less well known: ghostopolis. bone comics. dragon booster. #getting niche-r: everybody needs a rock and other books illustrated by Peter Parnall. kirikou and the sorceress. beatles yellow submarine #mega bloks dragons movies and McFarlane dragon figures back before they did game of thrones #out of left field well known but unexpected contender for art style development: hot wheels world race dvd #and of course belated well known additions: lion king spirit stallion of the cimmaron howls moving castle treasure planet atlantis #i could go on listing forever. we are all the culmination of our experiences and our art shapes one another in ways #we could never expect or quantify. this isnt even TOUCHING on the number of online art pieces ive seen and dont remember the artist names on #not art
