Jenny's struggles of being viewed as an "other" have not changed over the years and has only festered as a result. Her ghostly friend and teammate comes in to remind the robot girl of her true humanity. Will this heartfelt (and angsty) conversation lead to the blossoming of a new relationship?
(post is subject to change)
weird question but I want to post more about my ocs on Tumblr, but I also want to turn their story into a proper comic one day once I'm skilled enough. Because of this I don't want to post too much information, since I want there to be some twists and surprises in the comic proper. How do you handle not revealing too much information for Idwtbamg, stuff that would be revealed in the hypothetical final show?
honestly i wouldn't worry about it much! i've talked about this a little bit before
💬 8 🔁 660 ❤️ 3056 · ive always had this hang up that i have to keep everything i want to turn into a commercial project super secret and p
i feel like people worry about this a lot which is fair but also when stuff like the manga -> anime pipeline exists, i think it's safe to assume that even though people might know a spoiler or what's going to happen, they'll still be excited just to see the product in a different way and care more about the execution.
but on my end, whenever i post art focusing on the cast, i keep it more to character interactions and small worldbuilding things that i think are interesting and fun for people to know without giving away the larger story. i've found solace in the fact that my audience on twitter/tumblr is a fraction of the people that go and watch the show! i've been super up front about Zira being Aika's love interest and that this is a yuri series (which could be considered a spoiler) but most users on youtube have absolutely no idea that that's the case hahaha
so truly, don't be afraid to spoil but if that's something you wanna keep close to your chest, just drawing the characters interacting in small vignettes is always a fun way to show the tone of your comic on top of familiarizing your audience with the characters.
Not perfect but beautiful.
My thoughts on the movie.
The World of Tak (Part 1)
The Nicktoons have given us worlds that will forever remain with us.
Some that were relatively grounded in our reality like Bluffington, Hillwood City, Royal Woods, and pretty much all the settings of the Klasky-Csupo Nicktoons.
Some that had more fantastical elements like Dimmsdale, Retroville, Amity Park, Tremorton, O-Town and whatever the name of the city Invader Zim takes place in is.
And some that just go full on fantastical like Bikini Bottom, The Four Nations, and Petropolis.
But one world that has always fascinated me because of its potential was that of Tak and the Power of Juju.
Tak's world stood out from the other Nicktoons for being a not only being a fantasy world, but a tribal fantasy world.
Which is something that's really seen in media.
Most fantasy worlds are usually European inspired.
But with that, it was really disappointing that we never really saw a truly fleshed-out vision of Tak's world.
The games never really went into depth on anything, despite throwing in some interesting concepts and revealing some interesting lore.
And the TV show didn't even fucking try.
Well, recently, I've been working on my Nicktoons Re-Unite series.
Which I initially gave up on but eventually decided to revamp it into Nicktoon Heroes.
A lot of the elements from Re-Unite will be carried over into Heroes, and among them (specifically on the planned side) was to give more of a focus on Tak.
Particular with a series-long character arc of finding his parents.
Funnily enough, he isn't the only member of the Nicktoons team that has gone through that.
Along with touching on his status as a half-human/half-Juju hybrid.
Which was introduced in the show, and this version of Tak is an amalgamation of the games and the show.
And on the topic of this post, fleshing out his world.
Particularly, I want to give Tak's world more of an identity.
So sit back, grab a snack, stop looking at your drawing tablet, and let's dive right in!
So perhaps the most interesting bit of lore we receive for the Tak world is from The Great Juju Challenge.
Here it's revealed that there are other tribes besides The Pupununu.
Those being The Jibba Jabbas, The Grammazons, and The Black Mist.
We also get two more additions in the Game Boy Advance version with The Mind Raiders and The Zoopians.
Speaking of which, in that version, we also get to see where each tribe lives.
My goal here is to give each of the tribes their own unique identities and more specifically, give them strong cultural inspirations.
Akin to The Four Nations, with how they're each based on a section of Asian and Indigenous culture.
Starting this off we have none than the tribe of Tak himself: The Pupununu.
The Pupununu Tribe would be heavily inspired by the tribal cultures of The Amazon, Western Africa, and Southeast Asia.
The village is comprised of huts, stilt houses, vernacular houses and other types of structures made from wood, mud and clay with either thatched and wooden roofs akin to ones found in Western Africa and Southeast Asia.
The Chief and his family live in a omo sebua, a type of traditional house style of the Nias people from Nias Island, Indonesia
Going back to how they were described in the original games, The Pupununu people are peaceful, progressive and benevolent people.
They typically wear loinclothes, dresses, skirts, tunics and shúkàs of varying colors.
And adorn themselves with cool-colored tattoos, feathers and feathered headdresses, earrings, necklaces and bracelets made of colored beads, seeds, shells and animal teeth, beaded collars, brass neck rings, metal cuffs, ear weights, and headwraps.
As for their way of life.
The tribe practices in the ways of animism and shamanism.
They also perform ancestor worship, hold festivals to honor the jujus, and have community meetings and events in a maloca.
In their spare time, the tribe often make various crafts such as pottery, textiles, featherwork, jewelry, totems, masks, weave-work, metalwork, basketry, wood and stone carvings, and bead-woven accessories.
Although The Pupununu People are peaceful, they aren't afraid to step up and fight back against threats.
Among their weapons, they utilize blowguns and special types of darts with varying effects, swords like macanas and mandaus, spears like assegai, daggers like kpingas and krises.
When it comes to food, The Pupununu are primarily foragers, farmers and fishers.
They don't hunt very often.
The tribe forage and grow rice, plant roots and tubers like yams and cassava, corn, beans like soy, cacao and coffee, peas, grains, sugarcane, spices, and fruits like berries, citrus, coconuts and bananas.
Their livestock include cattle, pigs, goats, chicken, water buffaloes, and of course, sheep.
The Pupununu Tribe lives in The Great Jungle, a vast region of tropical forests, grasslands and wetlands.
The jungle is home to various animals including various types of macaws and parrots, howler monkeys, spider monkeys, poison dart frogs, toucans, tortoises, boas, anacondas, various types of butterflies, beetles and spiders, marmosets, iguanas, sloths, armadillos, anteaters, tapirs, river dolphins, crocodiles, caimans, piranhas, electric eels, lungfish, goliath catfish, arapaimas, capybaras, jaguars, harpy eagles, peccaries, river otters, elephants, gorillas, chimpanzees, baboons, mandrills, colobus monkeys, lemurs, lions, zebras, giraffes, rhinos, hippos, leopards, gazelles, wildebeests, cape buffaloes, kudus, warthogs, okapis, giant forest hogs, marabou storks, pythons, giant toads, ostriches, jackals, hyenas, vultures, fish eagles, falcons, hornbills, meerkats, bongos, manatees, hyraxes, clawed frogs, orangutans, pangolins, macaques, proboscis monkeys, tigers, bats, cobras, flying lizards, clouded leopards, sun bears, spotted deer, porcupines, turtles, monitor lizards, tarsiers, giant hornets, peacocks, mouse deer, gibbons, and palm civets.
The world of Tak is also home to animals of both the past and of legend & fantasy.
And here in The Great Jungle.
For the former, there's the likes of titanboas, giant snapping turtles (Carbonemys cofrinii), rhippos (toxodons), giant crocodiles (Acherontisuchus guajiraensis), giant river dolphins (Pebanista yacuruna), giant sloths, shovel-jawed elephants (Gomphotheres), terror birds, wild horses (Equus neogeus), glyptodons, mastodons, sabre-tooth tigers, short-faced bears, dire wolves, horse-apes (chalicotheres), long-nosed llamas (Macrauchenia), downward-tusked elephants (Chilgatherium), giant hyraxes (Megalohyrax), thunder rhinos (Arsinoitherium), hyaenodonts, pig hippos (Anthracotheriidae), four-tusked elephants (Tetralophodon), hipparions, giant boars (Nyanzachoerus), okapiraffes (Palaeotragus), short-necked giraffes (Sivatherium), spotted antelopes (Parmularius), giant otters (Enhydriodon), king elephants (Palaeoloxodon), giant buffaloes (Syncerus antiquus), giant warthogs (Metridiochoerus), giant lions, giant baboons (Dinopithecus), killer pigs (Entelodonts), orango-bins (Khoratpithecus), bear-dogs (Maemohcyon potisati), sabre-tooth leopards (Longchuansmilus), river pigs (Anthracotheriidae), jungle beavers (Steneofiber siamensis), six-teethed hippos (Hexaprotodon), giant tapirs, long-horned water buffaloes, orango-kongs (Gigantopithecus), giant pangolins and cave hyenas.
As for the latter; there's Woodies (returning from the games), giant carnivorous plants, Mapinguaris (massive hairy, sasquatch-like creatures with one eye and a massive mouth on their stomachs), elemental serpents (massive snakes that can control the elements; coming in water, earth and fire variants), Iaras (wicked mermaids who use their beautiful voices to lure wary travelers, particularly men, to a watery grave), Yacurunas (a race of fish-like humanoids who protect the rivers and sources of water of The Great Jungle), Curupiras (a race of dwarfs who possess backward feet), swamp dragons (aquatic dragons that reside in the wetlands that possess venomous saliva), Jengus (benevol mermaids who possess the power to use water to heal and serve as protectors along the river), Adzes (a race of vampires with insect-like wings that often disguise themselves as fireflies), Asimen (another race of vampires, that can transform into a ball of light and fly through the night sky to hunt for human prey) The Mat Swindler (a malevolent trickster gnome who always carries around a mat and will grant who's ever willing to snatch his mat rich. If they don't, they'll be cursed with bad luck), Mmoatias (fairies that aid humans, particularly shamans, with finding herbs), Leyaks (shape-shifting practitioners of black magic who roams at night as a floating head with a protruding tongue and fangs, seeking to consume human flesh), Nagas (powerful multi-headed serpents that serve as protectors to the lost and weak), Garudas (a race of half-human, half-bird creatures that possess divine wisdom and intelligence), Tikbalangs (A race of towering, horse-headed humanoid creatures that protect the jungle and its inhabitants), Belus (a race of giant, cannibalistic orges), and Ngepets (a group of boar-headed humanoids who steal from humans and animals alike).
Well that's all for now.
Hoped you guys liked it.
As I said before, I really wanted to give the world of Tak a much more fleshed-out identity, since it clearly had a lot of potential to do so.
Let me know what you guys think about this, and I'd to hear some ideas on what the cultural inspirations for the other tribes should be.
I like this! Take and the Power of Juju had so much potential when it came to world building.
going to see the final in the movie theatre tomorrow!
This show had quickly rose to being in my top 5 favorite cartoons of all time. I have fallen in love with these characters, the world and its message of finding meaning in a stagnate life. The creativity, the passion and effort can be felt in every episode and I couldn't be happier to witness this whole thing since the pilot premiered.
Thank you @gooseworx and the team at Glitch Productions for all that you have done.
DannyMay day 31: free day
Date night on the moon with robot GF sketch!
I forgot DannyMay was a thing and wanted to do my part.
This would make a cute ruined prom night story where everything has gone wrong, and the two have to fight a villain in Space. Since they wouldn't get back in time for last dance, they just dance on the moon, under the stars. Then sit and talk about their loved ones as the earth glows like a marble disco ball below.
I feel like someone has to spread the word of Spookymetal lol
In all seriousness, Thank you so much @gollageek your enthusiasm for my silly sketches is infectious. It helps more than you know.

I normally don't do this, but TADC has been invading every waking thought I've had since episode 8. So why the hell not.
Meet Count Von Cassle, the "Family-Friendly Vampire"

Beautifully made!
God, I am going to miss this show when it ends
Visiting the Bat-cave
This is so fucking cool!
You know how people like to put Danny Phantom in the DC universe. Well that got me thinking, What if we expanded it to the other nicktoons heroes. I can see Superman palling around with XJ9. Acting as a mentor figure for Jenny on being a better hero.
Rediscovering an old sketch I made years ago. I just wanted to share it.
On Writing Action/Adventure!!
