Having a lot of fun doing pride art for my characters. Here’s a gender queer Usagi 💜🤍💚

I haven’t really drawn flowers before but I’d been wanting to do something that incorporated flower symbolism, so I chose flowers that felt significant to his character in my itteration.

Rhododendron: elegance and grace

Wax Flower: lasting love and patience

Orchids: beauty and strength

Wild Rose: pleasure and pain

Lily of the Valley: sensitiveness; return of happiness

Have I mentioned my Mona Lisa does Ice Skating? And is increadibly graceful? And poor Raph just melts watching her every time?

Redraw of a piece I did two years ago

I had just started with digital art and had no idea what I was doing, but I’d also just lost my religion and everything I thought I knew about myself, so I stayed up all night every night drawing. The night I drew this one I cried and smiled for the first time in weeks. I couldn’t really put it into words, but it felt like I’d finally discovered something beautiful and worth living long enough to find.

I still love this piece, glaring artistic and anotomical errors and all, it’s still my screensaver these years later and I still look at it and feal that golden warmth. Call me cringe for having ninja turtle fan art be my polyamorous awakening, but my little ex evangelical ass needed something to live for, and this drawing was how I discovered that.

Anyways, I love you polyamory

I love you queer platonic

I love you queersexuality

I love you queer romantic

I love you fan art

I love you fandom

I love you the bravery to try new things

And I love you, all the past versions of me who one way or another found hope and strength and beauty in the dark

Responding to my absolutely awesome friend @iobsesswaytoomuch’s tags he left my In This Together: Episode 1 post, cuz I cannot express enough how much I love the tags they leave, litterally my favorite thing about sharing my art.

First off, I am so glad at least some of Raph’s dialogue in those first couple pages was legible. Whatever the hell was happening with the luminosity there is so fucking painful to look at 😭

My little brother and I used to play Mario Cart on the wii all the time as kids so there is so much fucking nostalgia tied to that game

🥹 2012 is litterally my favorite itteration, so imma take that as a huge fucking complement.

Not at this point in the story, but just you wait imma get REAL funky with it 😉 (you can refer to them as whatever you like. All the turtles are gonna be ‘he/him’ing eachother for now though)

I was really inspired by Rise Mikey’s Dr Delicate Touch persona, the way he can be happy go lucky most of the time and then switch to an absolute fucking menace on the turn of a dime. My Angelo can be goofy too, and you’ll see more of that if I’m able to continue the story, but it’s usually more of a front for the absolute shit show he’s got going on behind the scenes. Kiddo is not well. None of them are. All of my characters are traumatized and fucked up, but I do promise I have really interresting and beautiful things planned for them.

Angelo in particular tends to be the most verbally vicious, oddly enough, because he’s the most empathetic and perceptive. He really really understands his siblings, often more than they understand themselves. He notices all the little things that bug them, catches all the slight shifts in tone, and figures out what kind of things really get to them. Sometimes he can use this knowledge to be incredibly kind. He knows exactly what to say to make them feel better about something they haven’t even been able to talk about yet. But on the other hand, he also knows exactly what to say to attack their most painful insecurities and shatter them to pieces.

Hehehehe, I’m so glad somebody caught the blood and tears thing. (I felt very pretentious and clever adding that little detail in on the last panel and doubted anybody would even notice or get what it was)

(Also, if I had a tail, you bet your ass I would be curling up in that thing every time I had a scary social interaction. Melting into the floor? Nahhh, hide behind tail. You can’t see me if I can’t see you. I am in the impermeable tail ball 😆)

Have I mentioned I love pastel goth?

[theartofeverything]

I’ve been wanting to do a close up of Angelo’s mask for a while. He doodles everything on there, the things he loves, the things that haunt her, the secrets only xe knows. It’s all right there in the open if anyone’s willing to look close enough.
