BATDR when...? Nov 15th apparently

19 Year Old Artist...that's about it

[crisscross-inksauce]

Hey! It’s been a while...kinda, sorta...anywayyy

We actually reached the milestone months ago but I’ve been so busy I hadn’t had the time to acknowledge it properly. I hope to see more growth in the future as I plan to be more active (no promises though ( ﹁ ﹁ ))

Y’all have probably noticed there’s been some changes around here. Well, big news...I’m rebranding!!!! 

The reason why is because this blog has kinda become exclusively Babitim/Batim. If I want to share regular art or other fanart it would feel weird to post it here since that’s not what most of you followed me for. So a while ago I figured I would make another Tumblr for that stuff. I wanted the name of both blogs to be related to each other and to their individual purposes; the username I had been sporting for *checks notes* nearly 5 years now (I am so old (。_。)) doesn’t fit that criteria, ergo the change. I hope it was not too shocking (I am sure it wasn’t), but I just wanted to let ya’ll know :].

New blog is @crisscross-artsauce​

Besides all that, I really am thankful for your support, I’ve got plans for this blog that I can’t wait to get to :D (if I can keep consistence 😅)

P.S. My asks are open now :o

P.P.S Imma Post some Inky Mystery Art later today :OOOOOOOO

P.P.P.S. In regards to content, ya’ll won’t notice much change I just won’t post non Batim/Babitim content ( although I may reblog some stuff from my regular art account for traction reasons.)

QUICK ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

Just wanted to give a heads up. I've finally, FINALLY, finished IMtober 2023! The first few posts will be going up this week. I really tried to push outside of my comfort zone this time around and I think you'll be able to tell >:D So excited to finally be done! See you tomorrow :)

[crisscross-inksauce]

What if I told you I was still working on IMtober from 2023....? What if I told you I was not even halfway done even though it had been over a year...? What then...?

Yoooo!!! This is really good! Your art style is super unique; efficient and effective (I could take many pages out of your book haha). The characters look so cool when you draw them! Keep it up :D

I had a dream that Matthew Lillard was trying to murder me... honestly, it was rather frightening. This went on for a while before I got ahold of the forearm-length knife at some point. He then wants me to attempt to murder him. But when I try, he keeps giving me tips on how to murder him better. Like I'll have been trying to stab him, he'll dodge and then stop me and explain how I could've been scarier and more convincing. At this point, my dream self is confused as to whether we are only pretending to murder each other or not.

Attention! This is My Formal Petition to Change the Word "Control" to "Influence" on Cuphead's Talent Description on the IM Wiki!!!

I have made a comic to illustrate the difference.

VS

The difference is this: Control makes the animal do what you want. Influence makes the animal want to do what you want. A subtle yet ultimately important distinction.

[This post is partly for lols, but I do actually think the term "influence" suits his talent better. In fairness, maybe he really can control animals in every sense of the word and it's not been shown yet. I suppose he could also have both. But this is just based on what I know, so ...¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (I also think influence suits his tender-hearted nature toward animals better, but that's just my opinion.)]

First Mouse: Why did I do that?!?!? How did he make me do that?!?!?😰

Second Mouse: Why did he want me to do that? More importantly, why did I wanna do it? 😑

[pocotippy]

heyo! im poco, one of the IM wiki admins. your comic was extremely convincing and hilarious. as such, by the wiki powers invested in me, the word has been changed to influence. in the future, if you would like to see a change like this, you can make a fandom account and make the edit yourself. the wiki is open to anyone interested in adding to it :)

[crisscross-inksauce]

YESSSSSS!!!!!!

[crisscross-inksauce]

Hiatus is Over!!!

My hiatus is officially over! Please note that doesn't mean I'm going to start posting as much as I did back then again. It just means I'm not actively avoiding posting here any longer. I'm SO much busier these days, so I have to pick and choose what I spend my limited art time on and Inky Mystery isn't always at the top of that list anymore. Don't get me wrong, I still like IM a bunch. I just can't/don't focus on it as much as I used to. On that note, thanks for sticking around and entertaining my mindless rambling. I'll be sure to do it some more!...just not as much as I used to :) I hope that's okay <:)

This chapter ya'll

I'm screaming, frothing at the mouth, going insane, jumping for joy, drowning in sorrow, throwing myself to and fro

That was AMAZING! That had to be one of the most well-written chapters so far. TAP, you've done it again 👏😌. A million kudos.

That ending scene was everything for me...the emotions, the setting, his internal monologue, the "cheers". Fantastic! It was perfect.

I just...I just care about these guys so much.

(mighta gotten a little emotional near the end but you didn't hear that from me XD)

[crisscross-inksauce]

I saw Adrien’s post on Instagram and thought this was fitting. I couldn’t help myself, I had too.

[niyes-lahiffe]

Nino look out oh no Nino oh nO HE CANT HEAR US HE’S GOT AIRPODS IN NINO NO-

[shadykit]

Why is it that I saw these two in the same photo and before studying it or reading anything double-checked to make sure it wasn’t a @is-nino-actually-luka post first?

@lenoreofraven

I actually agree with you, haha. I remember thinking the same thing after I posted it. I don't remember exactly why it ended up that way. It was either the stock image I used cut off part of the knife, or there was a watermark in the way. So, I reshaped the knife around the problem. Looking back, I probably could've made it look better, but I think it's funny this way.

[noircartoons]

The amount of paper i've used for this animation and i'm not even done yet...

[crisscross-inksauce]

This looks really cool! I'll keep an eye out for when it's completed OoO

[ngwun]

Also some cuphead angst muahahaa
