[chickenhoops]

Hello!

Welcome to my ((work in progress)) blog! Here is my other art blog where I post non-kirby/ newer art. I hope you enjoy your time here.

Commissions are open! I currently am not doing art trades, however if you are interested in paying me to make stuff go ahead and contact me!

Finally using Linktree so here it is!!!

Caelan Pope | Instagram | Linktree

Comic, book, concept, and character artist - Illustrator pursuing a BFA.

If you are interested in a commission that does not fit the examples I have up, is a much bigger project, or have questions about what art I can do, DM me or email me at [email protected]!

🇵🇸🍉UPDATE REGARDING MY COMMISSIONS🍉🇵🇸

Starting now, it is possible to commission me without paying me! How so? Well by donating to a charity or providing money for any sort of verifiable (via @gazavetters, @90-ghost, or other accounts that help verify real Palestinian accounts) fundraiser that goes towards helping victims of the Gaza genocide. Then afterwards providing me with receipts via a screenshot or other ways showing info that tells me you recently donated.

I'll then draw anything you like!

This includes small amounts of money, I can sketch a picture for you for a simple $5-19! If you donate 20+ you can commission whatever is on my commission lists, if that makes sense.

A good 50% of my art commission funds are currently put towards donating to verified fundraisers (I've been so lucky to currently be basically having my college pay for me to go there with my scholarships and grants that I can use my commission money to donate to those in need) so I feel this is appropriate for me to try and see if I can maybe make a small change with this.

DM me on Discord (Itsquakey) or email me at my work email at [email protected] if interested or if you have questions!

Happy pride month everyone!! I decided to do a little pride hc lineup for the gang. Headcanon list below.

Kirby: Demiboy, Panromantic Asexual (Kirby is also a genderless being, who identities as a demiboy)

Meta knight: Demiaroace Homosexual

Bandana Waddle Dee: Bigender

King Dedede: Bisexual, plus I added the Bear flag because I thought it was funny + I view him as a bear

[itsquakey]

Are fanarts of your AU allowed?

Yes, fanart of any and all of my AUs and OCs are allowed! if you do fanart I also will always make sure to reblog it to my account :)

[itsquakey]

Every time I learn something new about DID/OSDD from my psychotherapist I look at her like this

Even $1 can ease a heavy burden.

Share + Donate = Hope for a family in need 🤍

[itsquakey]

Basing these extras off some asks I got/ideas I already had. Most of them are already based off of preexisting headcanons while others are brand new. Basically all you need to know is Kirby is a kinda of shapeshifter and Dedede is a werepenguin because I thought it was funny.

Summer plans for my internet presence

Hello! At the moment I'm battling some post-school burnout but I probably will return to posting soon. That being said, this summer is also dedicated to me editing and updating my internet presence (not just my presence on this account). This is both to edit and update my portfolio and website/work blogs for future work but also everything just needs to be dusted off and have one final nice update to look pretty. I'll be trying to do all this in the final part of May so I don't have to worry about it.

Updating for this blog: Large intro pinned post that serves as a guide to the art and aus in this account, with updated coms linked. Resuming of posts though at a slower pace.

Updating for my alt: Updated coms sheets, cleaning up of this account (removing older art I don't like anymore, text posts that don't need to stick around, etc) and starting to continue posting of my own personal projects and ocs.

Updating for my presence outside of Tumblr: I will be updating my portfolios/posts and tweaking my website to make it easier to access with newer art to find. Adding a commissions page to my website. Possibly making an Etsy page, which will only occur if people want one.

Would you be interested in an Etsy page?

Yes

No

Voting ended onMay 27

I'm still planning on doing Artfight this year, as well as art collaborations like Metadede week later this year as I still do want to interact with the fandom, I'll just be interacting publicly less than I used to.

Hello my friends,

My name is Rana, and I am from Gaza. I am a mother of four children. Due to the war in Gaza, I lost my job, my husband also lost his job, and we lost our home and our source of income.

Now that the war has stopped, everything has been destroyed, and we are left with nothing.

My children and I are trying to survive with very limited resources. I am hoping to rebuild our home, help my husband return to work, and start our lives again.

I kindly ask for your support and donations for me and my children, so we can live with dignity and rebuild our lives and our children’s future.

Please help my family🙏🙏🙏🙏

My first post of the summer and the unveiling of yet another AU! Yea it's a gijinka AU I'm sorry. Feels like I'm jumping on the bandwagon here but I really wanted to take what I've learned in school and start applying it to my styles and be able to exercise with more human designs. This is what I'll probably be posting about all summer so oops. Asks are also open for these guys too as I start emptying my ask box.

Tomodachi Mii face paint guide (????)

For those who were having a hard time with the face paint stuff like I did, I figured out a way to help by creating your own reference so it would be wayyy easier to format your oc onto the mii face grid (this guide is probably for hardcore Tomodachi life players but if you’re insane like me it might help you out). You’ll need a drawing software of some kind for this, doesn’t matter which one.

Put your Mii’s facial features together that don’t require the face paint feature. Once you’ve moved to that part, take a picture of the face with your grid type of choice. (This is the part I’m talking about! ⬇️)

2. Take the photo you have (doesn’t need to be perfect and you don’t need a capture card, a photo from a phone works too) and input into your drawing software of choice. If you can, trace the grid on a new layer with a different color so you can overlay the grid with your new reference. Make sure there’s some amount of space because you’re gonna want to place your oc’s face somewhere.

3. Find a front facing image of your oc and trace it so you can play with the lineart and color layer separately, or make a new front facing image (like I did). Copy the layer of the lineart and use that copied layer to format your oc’s face over the mii face. Let it be known that you will have to likely edit the lineart to have it fit well on the mii face.

4. When things look good, you can then create a color layer and experiment with what colors you want to use and what kinds of light and shadow you think will look best. I created an entirely new reference next to my lineart reference so I could see them both at the same time.

(One thing I would like to note is that the image you use on face paint DOES distort a bit as it kinda wraps around the face! Make sure to check the mii’s face and edit anything to fix any kind of distortion!)

5. Use your new reference to put together your oc in Tomodachi life! Let it be known that it won’t be perfect, but it might be an upgrade to your previous attempts like me. When I did this I saw a massive change in quality so maybe some people will find this helpful.

This also helps for planning out more complicated designs or designs that might be hard to fit on the face grid. Note that this does take a lot of time, so if you’re willing to pour hours into this stuff this guide might work.

[itsquakey]

Here's the post in question! I've been playing with the demo for a little and found a way to make the face paint stuff leagues easier so...maybe someone will find this helpful.

[itsquakey]

Sorry for going dead I've been having to worry about finals month and graduating and getting health tests done and the tomodachi life demo so here's some older Nextgen/hc stuff I never posted. Some of this stuff (like the voices hcs) might be subject to chance in the future. Also rare marstella return no one expected.

🎉🎂🎈 Happy 33rd Birthday Meta!! 🎉🎂🎈

That’s right, yentlemen, the Great EMatooney has decided to create a Kirby AU! I call it the Ballad of Meta Knight: The Impossible Dream, or BOMK for short! It features Meta Knight, obviously, the Meta-Knights, and some very strange new characters! 👀

I wanna give a huge shoutout to @itsquakey because I was really inspired by the way she shades the characters and I wanted to try my hand out on it too! Hope that’s okay!

Imma be real, I really wasn’t intending to make a Meta Knight AU at all. To be honest, it actually just started out as a joke. Like, you got this big, serious, stoic character all of a sudden giving you the most loving and heartfelt life advice. The kind of softness you wouldn’t expect from a guy like him? That sort of thing. But over time it stopped feeling like just a joke. So, wallah! I made a AU!

This won’t be a comic series but it’ll actually be my first fanfic! I’m really excited and nervous because I haven’t wrote anything on the internet and I hope people will like it. This AU won’t take place in the anime continuity. I’m planning to base it more on the games and light novels, but with my own twists. Though don’t worry — I’ll still sprinkle in bits of the anime here and there. ;)

The biggest thing I want to address, though, is the inspiration behind this AU. There was a creator who went by Celestia-Knight on Deviantart (I’m pretty sure they go by @time-eatingnoodle now?) who wrote some of the most captivating and emotionally charged Kirby fan stories I’ve ever read. Their artwork was breathtaking, and the lore they built was so mysterious. I really really loved their portrayal of Meta Knight.

But they made the decision to stop creating Kirby content. And they erased everything. They erased their art. They stopped working on their stories. Everything just stopped. I’ll never know how their story ended. I’ll never know if Kirby defeated Zero, if Galacta regained his former self, or if Meta Knight ever found peace. But I hope — I sincerely hope — that in some small way, I can carry on their legacy for a while.

Just like Meta, I want these stories to live on. I want to carry pieces of that inspiration with me and weave them into my own work. That’s how deeply their stories resonated with me. And I hope mine will resonate with you, too.

I’m not sure if I should post it on AO3 or fanfiction.net. Any suggestions? Never done this before so I’d appreciate the help! I’ll let you guys know when I add a new chapter. Oh, and while you’re here i made an epic cool playlist of the AU so if you want vibes you got vibes! Definitely check it out!!

Anyways, Happy Birthday Meta!! ❤️ Thank you for being my hero.

[itsquakey]

Was told Meta Knight's birthday was today and I honestly don't know if that's true but here's a sketchy minicomic because I'm legit fighting for my life in school and have no time to do anything right before I graduate in like a month.

NEW! NextGeneration AU- Introductions (Group 2/3)

After battling on-and-off burnout for these few months, part two of the introductions are complete! That only leaves one more group left which will take some time I imagine.

What is NEXTGEN?

NEXTGEN- or The Next Generation AU, is an AU that takes place is the near distant future of the Kirby universe and follows the new lives of the character's the series is familiar with. This AU is very headcanon-heavy, and mixes both the games and anime into one single plot. This AU is also quite ask-heavy as well, meaning people sending asks gives more story and answers to the AU, so ask away!

Links to other introductions:

Introduction Group 1 (Kirby, Pike, Meta, Dedede, Ribbon, Gooey, Magolor, and Marx: LINK HERE

Introduction Group 2 (Morpho, Papi, Elflin, Taranza, Susie, Fluff, Daroach, Adeleline, Skirby): YOU ARE HERE

Introduction Group 3 (The Animal Friends, The Mages, The Meta-Knights, Arthur and the GSA): LINK HERE (To be posted)

Found out that my Dad (who I already knew was a huge Star Wars nerd) was technically a part of the early Star Wars fandom and was- I shit you not- a fanfic writer. A 1980's Star Wars fanfic writer. Forty years ago he wrote fanfics and he didn't even tell me until recently.

He apparently lost those fics and we are both equally frustrated about it. I am starting to believe that fandom creation is a genetic thing.

Reblogs in a chain now get their own notes

The reblog chain is one of the things that makes Tumblr unlike anywhere else. All the notes on reblogs are attributed to the original post, no matter which branch people actually liked or reblogged. We want to keep encouraging conversations, and give contributors the recognition they deserve. 

Soon, you'll be able to like, reblog, or reply to any part of a reblog chain, and that note will go to that reblog's author. Each reblog will have its own counts, instead of one aggregated number from every version of the post. And yes, you’ll be able to like multiple posts in one chain.

If a reblog doesn't add anything, the love flows up to the last person in the chain who did. Your post doesn't lose notes just because people spread it quietly.

Past notes will stay on the original post — we're only changing what happens from here on out. Retroactively re-attributing all of them would be... a lot.

This is just the beginning. More changes are coming as we keep building this out – stay tuned!

[changes]

It’s very clear that you all have strong feelings about Tumblr and about this change. We hear you. The passion people have for how Tumblr works is one of the things that makes this place special.

As this rolls out over the next few days and you explore it, we’ll keep reading your replies and reblogs, so please keep sharing your questions, concerns, and ideas.

Your creativity has always been the heart of Tumblr, whether you’re the original poster or adding something brilliant in the reblogs, and nothing about this change is meant to limit that.

If you’d like to talk directly beyond the comments, leave a reply and we’ll follow up with as many of you as we can. We want to work with you to make Tumblr better.

[itsquakey]

@tumblr @changes I was recommended to reblog this in order to continue making a lot a noise about this, but the reason I'm so against this is that it basically takes away attention from the original poster. If the op is an artist then they are massively effected and are left with a 1/4 of what the original notes should suggest. Not only does this very likely count as art theft, this also prevents people from being able to make as much in commission money and support themselves. Please undo this, don't try and carry it out it's only going to get you in hotter water.

For any of my followers who do see this, please comment and reblog leaving your harsh opinion about it tagging both accounts, send a report here and talk about why this is harmful.

[inkskinned]

you may be thinking that some of the reactions to the tumblr update are unfounded or panicky. but i meant what i said: this will fucking destroy any artist on this site.

for your reference, i tracked down one of my original posts; which had a notes section that looked like this:

and here is what it looks like now:

holy shit. by my math, that is not even two percent of the amount of aggregate notes my writing actually has. i am not able to see any of the literal hundreds of replies, comments, or tags.

maybe this is a bit presumptuous but i consider myself to be fairly popular on this site. i still remember the first time a large blog "picked up" my work - how quickly all of a sudden i was getting seen. notes on my poetry jumped from like 10 to 300 to 3k. overnight. that was the magic of tumblr, and the incredible writing community i found here.

but now if i answer any of my fellow writers, if i say please go check this out or even if i add additional context to my own work - the artist is removed completely from their own content.

do you want to reply to an "ask game"? do you want to reply to a story prompt? do you want to just make a funny joke with your friends? well, that sucks - you might be depriving them of literally 98% of their notes.

it isn't about clout chasing. it is about giving creators control over their own materials. even a silly post deserves to be connected directly with the person that thought it up.

the tumblr feedback form is currently crashed for me, but when it's up, everyone please go (politely! calmly! like you're walking in a burning building!) tell them what you think. in the meantime: @staff @changes like... i am begging you. literally just set up a suggestion box for ideas on how to monetize tumblr, surely one of us can help you.
