Commission Status: Open! (Post/Price Sheet)
Help support my art with a Ko-Fi tip!
Welcome! I go by Ninj and this is my main blog. And however you found me I am happy you are here! Below the cut is a list of tags and links to help you navigate this blog and my other content. It will be updated regularly and have important notes on current/updating projects.
For information on commissions, see this post.
PLEASE NOTE, before going any further, this blog may contain 18+ content occasionally (within Tumblr's guidelines), and there will be links to 18+ content that is hosted on other sites. Please do not engage if you are a minor. There is other content for you, there are ways for you to block tags, etc. If I find you interacting with such content while knowing you are underage, I will have to block you (but I am also not going to go through everyone's blog to figure that out). Otherwise enjoy your time here and thank you for understanding!
Important Links
AO3
Spotify
Bluesky
Twitch - I stream both art and games and would love to interact with you live there! And again, note there will probably be swearing/mature content, especially depending on the game.
Discord - Read ALL information carefully when joining. This is primarily for my streaming, and is rather inactive while I am between living spaces.
The social media I am most active on is Tumblr. And be prepared and aware I do create for many fandoms as the mood strikes.
Important Tags
I will tag all media type, franchise, warnings, and shipping content the same across my blogs. If I miss something just let me know!
#my art - if it isn't tagged with this, I did not make it.
#my writing - this is mostly for posting links to AO3; but will also be on my ficlet writings and exclusive Tumblr ramblings.
#my comic - any single post comics will be tagged like this. Multi-part comics will be tagged specifically with a project tag to keep parts organized.
#ask questions - any questions I have had before, like a FAQ section.
#screaming frog - my ramblings or off topics. Generally if it's me chatting up a storm, I have become a screaming frog and will tag as such.
#commission artwork - to filter work and see what types of commissions I have specifically done, then use this tag. Everything posted is with the client's permission.
My Blogs
@ninjthescreamingfrog - a more personal sideblog where I shuffle everything and anything.
@sangheiliscribbles - my current self imposed art challenge, where I create one sketch every day for a year around the prompt content of Sangheili from Halo.
@obiscribbles - a now inactive blog for the completed challenge of one piece of artwork a week depicting Obi-Wan Kenobi from Star Wars for a full year.
@quinscribbles - a now inactive blog for the completed challenge of one piece of artwork a week depicting Obi-Wan Kenobi from Star Wars for a full year.
If you have any questions my ask box is always open.
This piece absolutely tested me but it was worth it. Not only because I'm pretty pleased with how it came out, but also because it was nice to do something for my OC's (in universe) birthday.
Happy birthday Nat, they'd be 34 as of 2560 (...if the timeline could move past June 12, 2560 anyway).
Also, bonus silly doodle of them and their team I originally sketched to keep myself motivated through this under the cut:
Took longer than I hoped but so worth it. About 8 hours all in, and I am especially happy with how Ripley turned out. Lot I can nitpick on for the Xeno (did not have a solid reference and scrapped it twice). But I am still having a lot of fun, so we continue forward.
Enjoy!
Reference and some progress this time, under the cut
halo reach did immeasurable damage to halo as a story because reach's inconsistencies with ghosts of onyx are not easy to reconcile, and reach has become a sacred cow.
this weakens nylund's trilogy because the final piece, where nylund nails home the themes he was scraping together despite the insane conditions he was in to write these books, is kinda awkwardly shuffled around with lots of hemming and hawing because it doesn't line up with reach. this, even though ghosts of onyx is a significantly better story than reach that was told first and delivers some incredible hammer blows because it's backed up by the two prior books.
...and the second most immeasurable damage was done by a combination of glasslands and last light completely kneecapping the momentum coming out of that book.
it cannot be repaired. there is, i think, no way to do it and that's one of the little tragedies you can know if you birdwatch halo for long enough.
