#gene art and #gene ocs are my art and oc tag respectively! Main story I'm working on is #loatm , but I tend to jump between smaller projects too.

fandom sideblogs where I primarily post fandom stuff:

My Brother's Keeper

something about brothers, and what could have been

The rest of the pages are under the cut! It gets a bit angsty.

This was a really fun exercise in comic-making too. I really enjoyed the process even though I might. be. exaggerating it in the writing department. LOL. well I wanted to see gru a little more wretched. Certainly not deserved, but he's got shit to go through.

Also I will say, this was partly inspired by a scrapped storyboarded scene for DM3 by Cinzia Angelini called Leaving Freedonia. One of Gru's lines really hit me hard, and I was like damn I gotta make them argue about something.

butch transfem gru is my everything now actually, 'tis canon to me

@icecreampizzer thank you for making the wonderous butch gru doodles that enlightened me to this concept

guess who's been playing beastieball. I've been meaning to do some fanart so. Here's my two favorite ranked coaches so far (by design. haven't decided if they're also my favorite by story but celia's Definitely up there, and callisto i just haven't hung out much with yet <3)

Looking through some old art of my ocs and decided to redraw one of them for fun. They've certainly changed a bit all these years! 2026 and 2015, oh how I love em. They still care for each other, it's so important that they'd risk their asses for each other.

Redesigning thoughts compilation. If you remember these guys, yeah they're filipino now. I mean they've always BEEN filipino since the first proper ref sheet I made for them but I figured I'd try to make them wear something else than the usual suit-and-tie, for one. If you notice the two-year difference between one of these doodles, well. no you dont <3

I just got inspired out of nowhere. have at thee, my scattered thoughts. Colors are a bit inconsistent right now because im actually still deciding on things. YAY

The main reason why I kinda stopped talking about this project in particular is because I wanted to take it to a different direction plot-wise...I do have something in mind but I know progress will take... a Very Long While for this one. so don't be super surprised if I suddenly just stopped talking about it again, I promise I still love this story and it means a whooole lot to me.

package deal do NOT!! separate.

I've been thinking about it a lot. Here's my personal hc's for the gorls because I wanna like. Do something with them. Please.

My general direction for these headcanon designs is basically to give them Something to make them stand out and be "outcasted" from the majority group. I kinda wanted to focus more on how important the found family is for all characters...They found each other in the orphanage and decided to never leave each other's sides, basically. Individually, they've had a lot of trouble getting adopted before, and now they're adamant about being adopted all together? Aint that a challenge. Additionally I also wanted to make them more visually distinct from one another.

Then moving on to building their personalities, I mostly used Gru as a general point of inspo—I wanted them to mirror a specific aspect of Gru's personality because Iiii want them to bond over Something at least LMAO!! Plus foils are always fun I love foils so bad.

Beautiful spread with this handsome girlthing's mug plastered everywhere. Wonderful.

Sketched and inked traditionally, colored digitally. A more relaxing experience than I expected since I treated it like a coloring book type thing. It's so fun 🥺
