For those who only follow it here on Tumblr: Magnet chapter 5 is now finished and can be viewed on my Inbunny account. (and as usual, you don't need to be logged in to read it, just click the "changing the allowed ratings" link that pops up and then check of all the little boxes)

... Did you hear about the a/i shit on Bs? https://fedoraspooky.tumblr[.com]/post/814606475019288576/

I actually hadn't seen that, but that explains why Bluesky is so laggy and down now and then, if they vibe code the site with Claude... It sucks, since BS is a pretty chill site for artists (despite the kinda crap image quality) and the users in general seem pretty anti-AI. Man, seems like any social media type site that allows nsfw art has it's drawbacks.

I haven't been keeping up with Tumblr lately, seems like Bluesky has taken over as my preferred social media type site for turtle posting, less censoring over there. Anyways, I've done several more spicy pics I haven't bothered posting previews of here, so I'd recommend following me on Inkbunny or Bluesky if you wanna see that. Can highly recommend the latter site for tcest enjoyers, great little community over there. Still also post (spicy pics only) to Inbunny. So yeah... that's basically all I wanted to say, heh.

Sleepy Raph drawn as a request for @mishajeans Misha did a wonderful lineart and coloring of it that can be found here!

Hiii! Im a new follower, i love so much the comic between Leo and Raph and i want to ask how many chapter you are going to do?

P.S. the art is amazing❤️

Hi! Thank you, I'm glad you're enjoying it. Sorry about the hiatus just now, but will pick it up again very soon. We (me and Kibble) don't have a set plan for chapters just yet, but I do plan on not letting it drag on for ever. We'll see how things goes.

Hello I am curious do you have a Twitter or blue sky account?

Not Twitter, but I have a Bluesky account! Enjoying that platform quite a bit, nice little tcest community over there. Bluesky has very much started feeling like the new Tumblr for me. The image display feature leaves something to be desired on PC (it blows images up too fill the screen regardless of actual size) and it doesn't support GIF's, but hopefully those things will be fixed at some point.

Hi! I've been a long time follower of your blog and love your art style! I wanted to ask, how do you draw their scales? It's always been the hard part for me when I draw the Bayverse turtles ><

Have a great day!

Hi, and thank you! These days, I most often just use a ready made texture. It's just this png I tiled together from a small sample, made transparent and slap over their skin on a layer with very low opacity (7-10%) and then I just use a soft eraser to remove it where I don't want it.

Happy-super-late-birthday to @kibblethesatyr !

Dusted off a sketch and finally did something with it.

[baraturts]

Aw, thank you, I'm really happy to hear you're enjoying it <3 Sorry that it ended up a bit on the backburner again just now, but it will return soon, I promise.

[baraturts]

Hi! Sorry I went "poof" again. Have been having it a bit rough lately, but working on getting stuff under control. Miss drawing and chatting with you guys in this space, hope I'll be able to get back to it soon <3
