Mutant Mayhem (2023): Putting The TEEN in TMNT

a new take on my old interpretation of heaven ascension DIO! i like to imagine his weird split hairstyle was supposed to be wings 💛

The curse of modern fandom is that it has allowed fans to get even closer to artists, but they won't view the artists as people.

Human limits, human mistakes, human feelings, human needs, are never ascribed to artists, and when other fans rightfully point out, "hey, humans are making this, maybe don't harass them or demand they cater to your personal tastes," it gets shut down under, "uh, people who make popular mainstream things are automatically Public Figures who are also probably rich, so eat the rich and destroy artists over every perceived minor fault. <3"

Even though there's, y'know, a really big strike currently going on because those artists are very much not rich or influential or in control of the bullshit.

The more friends I make in the various facets of the entertainment industry, and the more widely my own art gets shared, the more I realize that a lot of y'all genuinely don't see artists as human beings if they meet some arbitrary standard of Being Known Online.

There is no amount of online fame that makes someone subhuman and a valid target for blatant disrespect and harassment.

Contrary to popular belief, you do not actually own and control a piece of art just because you like it a lot. The artists are not subject to your personal whims and tastes. They owe you nothing.

The many faces of April O’Neil

One thing that is exhausting about being a TMNT-fan is the backlash that comes with every new version, be it TV-shows or movies.

Personally, I grew up with the 2003-show, and learned my lesson after checking out 2012 after much coaxing from a good friend. I initially refused to watch it on the basis that it couldn’t possibly be as great as ‘my’ version, and that it was 3D-animated.

Yeehawgust 2023: Wide Open Spaces

Howdy, folks, I hope you’ll saddle up and join us for Yeehawgust’s 5th year this August!

Yeehawgust features daily art prompts as well as alternative weekly prompts, for those of us who are a bit slower on the draw. Don’t draw at all? No problem! Submit any art at all, be it illustration, comics, writing, fanfiction, photography, embroidery, sculpture, music, or whatever other creative endeavors you might enjoy. All skill levels are welcome, and this can be a great opportunity to experiment with new styles and techniques. 

Whether you love canonically western media like Red Dead Redemption and Fallout: New Vegas, or you’re looking for a chance to make a cowboy AU and put your blorbos in a Stetson and spurs, this is the month for you!

Tag your work with #Yeehawgust and follow along here on the Yeehawgust blog. If you include any external links or directly tag another Tumblr user in your post (which may impact search visibility), make sure to also tag this blog or contact the mod directly so your work will get reblogged! 

Check out the “Reblogging Policy and Q&A” linked on the blog for more info about Yeehawgust. The event is also Yeehawgust on Twitter and YeehawgustPrompts over on Instagram, but Tumblr is our first home. 

And remember, y’all: be rootin’, tootin’, shootin’, and most importantly, be kind.

If you’d appreciate a text-based version of the prompt list for any reason at all, or if you’d like a prompt list in an Instagram-friendly aspect ratio, check below the cut!

You, a supervillain, answer a knock at your door, only to find your superhero nemesis shivering, bleeding, scared, and slightly dazed (as if drugged). They appear to have been assaulted. The hero mumbles “…didn’t know where else to go…” before collapsing into your arms.

Little late but Happy 60th Birthday to Tom Kenny one of my most favorite voice actors! He's so iconic! :D

(Turn To Stone's Ability)

I tried to make a comic about Panini's ability and also Panini in battle/mission. He's much more sauve if he's alone. As soon as he's with someone - especially Farfalle - he's less smooth with things. Mainly because he's gotta keep track of Farfalle who doesn't communicate well and is impulsive. He's rarely used for kills, and is mainly the source of income for the assassins. Which he offered to do, partially to get on good sides. Also a bonus page of various doodles below the cut.

He's just a baby 🥺
