Are you still working on I'd Give You My Lungs?

Hi!

Thanks for asking! I'd Give You My Lungs is very special to me and it has not been abandoned!! I dont like to talk about my personal life online but I will give a little context as to why the last update has been SO. LONG.

In the last year I have had some health problems. And then we had multiple deaths in our family. One of which was my dog who was also a service animal and helped me with everyday life things. I miss her and am having a hard time trying to do things without her. But I had 15 wonderful years with her.

I also just moved into a new place which has been a long process and am still in the process of unpacking and settling in.

I dont like to promise time frames of when updates may happen but I am genuinely hoping to have a new chapter out sometime in the next few months. Which feels like a long time but I want to be realistic.

The story is written. It just needs a little more polish and editing.

I am sorry to all who have been waiting, and thanks to everyone who has been patiently waiting.

Why do Leo and Jacksepticeye both pose the same way when searching for hidden passages?

After a great number of requests I finally made Replica Donnie's "EPF Tears" mug from the comic. I was worried though it might be too simple, so I ended up having all the boys doodle on the back of the mug as an added bonus, haha! If you feel like sticking it to the man maybe consider getting one!

Awwwieee, MM! Leo subtly stopping Raph from stealing Mikey's pizza slice when the latter was distracted, he a mother hen fr

Bonus Raph's glare/pout directed at big brother:

I like that Leo and Mikey both kept their promise. 

BEGINNING || PREVIOUS || NEXT (SOON) MASTER POST

Whew we're finally done with our emotional chats on top of Lady Liberty. Just one more update and then we will be moving onto the next arc which I'm quite excited for!

In the meantime, I think it's time for another little TED Talk below the cut:

One of my favorite things from the opening of the Rise movie (and something that was missing from the cut movie opening) was the interaction between Leo and Mikey.  A majority of the communication that goes on between these two is actually silent, through glances and inferred statements as they're having a conversation that Casey can barely understand. Working backwards to find the meaning in that communication has been interesting and fun but also left me a little barren emotionally as I've been dealing with death and my own mortality this year with loss of family friends and personal health issues.  

One detail I wanted to point out: when I first saw Mikey's death sequence I had assumed Mikey was winking primarily at Casey, if only because Casey was the one to step into the previous shot and call out to draw Mikey’s attention. However, I found it interesting how the perspective of this shot is obviously a first-person view.  He’s looking directly at the camera and the only other first person POV we have in this whole sequence is primarily from Leo’s perspective.  

Because of that I strongly feel that the wink was at least intended not just for Casey, but for Leo as well. To Casey the message was clear: “Don’t be scared.  You got this, kid.”  The same message he gave in the cut version.  But to Leo, it’s something deeper as he gives him that assurance while reminding him of their promise.  They both kept smiling to the end and would see each other again soon.

Even though Mikey isn't used to being older than his brothers, I still think he'd be great at pep talks because of his emotional intelligence.

Botany in the Apocalypse...

Omega actually loves botany, much like his creator... sadly they do not have a lot of healthy soil/water to spare for such frivolities (most of their food is now lab grown). I imagine Donnie created something akin to the Global Seed Vault in the arctic, but every now and then he would plant one tiny seed to confirm that the they are still viable. Omega would continue the tradition... for science of course.

Anyways, sorry for my absence! I had oral surgery a few weeks back and am about half way through the healing process. But I had enough energy to throw together this little piece for the Botany theme for @tmnt-multiverse-election

Vote for Omega.... or don't, he's pretty good at growing plants but I doubt the same skills completely apply to a running a nation.

my tortle cutouts came in!!!

omg they are so perfect I can't believe it.

pardon the quality and terrible lighting but really, they are ✨ AMAZING ✨

I really feel like I underpaid for the quality too :3 they're just so dang magical to touch and are ORIGINAL WORKS OF ART too. Super special and one of a kind. Aaaaaaaa

The whole family, even mom who doesn't really knows much about TMNT, said they are beautiful and loves them!

Thanks again @trilobitepunch

[trilobitepunch]

EEE I'm so glad they made it in one piece! So to speak. I love where you put them! XD

Now you have an infestation problem.

TMNTember DAY 13/19: Scars, Favorite Friendship

Are you kidding, these two would totally brag about battle scars (ft. Raph’s brain worm scar teehee)

“Yeah this’ll be a super quick sketch no problem I can get it done super fast—“

*TAKES THE LONGEST OUT OF ALL MY SKETCHES I HAVE DONE THIS MONTH*

Damn you, Jones. Love you, but drawing human men is NOT my strong suit quite yet.
