It links to various places you can find me across the net:
Twitter, Bluesky, here[Tumblr] , Newgrounds, and even my Youtube!
Eventually I'll make a discord
I'm always working on something fun and I love interacting with folks...
So if you didn't check out the link above I'm just going to put this riiiight here 🃏✧。٩(ˊᗜˋ )و✧*。
If you're primarily a follower or just passerby on here I love reading your tags, they're so motivational!
🎶Just like Heaven (The Cure) 🎶 The first of many watermech arts with full illustration (sans the overlay) below the cut!
Soooo of course I'm going to ramble a lil. This turned out super cute, I had this idea of it being a Polaroid that Herman kept instead of it being a cellphone pic since a lot of fanon seems to make him enjoy analog and retro media. Also Herman liking the most colorful drinks at the bar will have my heart !
Robert with way more scars you'll forever be canon to me...I should make a scar chart with how my brain works for all of the scars I draw. I didn't know if anyone would be interested but i think it would be neat.
I still have the rest of those watermech week lines to finish but like half of them will be posted this week. I have other OC stuff I've been posting here n there, these guys just whisper to me like the green goblin mask.
Thank you to the five folks who enjoy my stuff n read this—
“The five times Robert tried to keep it platonic and the One time he didn’t”
Of course there's more rambling under the cut about these for any unfortunate soul that actually reads more.
Woaw, I forgot to cross post here but I spent all of Saturday just trying to get these out of my head and on a timely manner on twitter. So i was working on all of these and posting them ASAP - it went from just two parts to three because I was being ambitious even if i was just doing lineart. No screentones, no coloured lines, just og lineart.
There are personal details missing but I also really wanted to tell a slowburn fanfic kinda story ...to a point. I had ruminated over how to tell this story with no dialogue just vingettes like the trope used to start it "5+1". So dear ghost-reader my brain started with simple little things I liked in the fiction I read.
Basics like Waterboy slowly gaining confidence, Robert's seemingly natural comfort around Herman, and them just casually hanging out because they're in the same place at the same time. I like Robert realizing his feelings first and just being awkward about it, give or take my own headcanons to add to his struggles. I also wanted to show the passage of time with Herman's hair growing as well as him being drier unless there's nervousness. He'll always be a bit of a soggy froggy to me even if it goes down to a moist towlette.
Moving from left to right in the first image...of course there's Waterboy and Robert at work, i thought up WB gathering the stones to talk to Robert during a particularly rough day and cheering him up like Robert did for him. The middle image is Robert and Herm talking during a BBQ/kick back I konda imagined at...whereever that one official pool image takes place. Maybe they're having a slightly quiet moment inside out of the sun ,i just wanted that sweet connection. The final lineart is them early morning post a Friday shift, just running into eachother somewhere and getting breakfast to go, thought it looks like Herm had a later night, he's happy to talk to Robert about going to that show he was looking forward to.
The second part, with Herm dripping water onto Robert? Me mostly putting the tall man into situations that stress him out. Like I do think that Herm can gain confidence but he's not used to his own body in his 25(?) years of life. He knows how to make himself smaller and is trying to learn how to just be more himself outwardly. Which will still lead to tripping over your own chunky boots from time to time aaand into your boss.
[[Heh rock on Herman, your metalhead fandom iterations will live deeply in my heart.]]
As for Robert, man knows what he wants over all as time goes on and he's not going to be quiet about it. Dont remove him from the situations , he's right where he wants to be.
Thats about it for this part. I'll eventually post the previews for the NSFW part buuut it's easier to just see on bluesky or twitter. And of course the reminder I'm a whole ass adult who does post nsfw on a whim.
Thank you ghost-reader for making it this far- watermech week may be done but I wont be done with them for a long time(just like my jayviks)💜✨🤘🏽
So I realized after I posted I didn't draw thier goggles... that's okay. Cause I finished everything else on time. I like to think Herman and Bob-bob are talking silly alternate universe stuff.
Buuut as per the previous post- I love Trans! Robert and in addition gender non-conforming Waterboy. (Avoiding the loud genderfluid trope for him) Still, this was fun none the less and I'm still working on more with them!! Even after watermech week is over in going to draw more of my fun ships and interests. Okay now i sleep ..
@watermechweek Day 5 - PETPLAY [a rare censored for reasons entry]
I have a more censored image I can upload later but last time I did Tumblr removed it despite the censoring sooo... here we go.
More Yapping below the cut
So things that aren't shown but I will talk about here for like the five people who do read - thank you as always!!
Trans Robert truther here, but also don't care who bottoms, as long as it's SSC[ Safe, Sane, and Consensual] . Healthy kink is important to me and I like portraying it as best as I can. You know what else - I always end up putting a ton of details into something in anything i draw. This time it was the head gear and Robert's jump suit but it's not like I can post the full thing but ... (¬⤙¬ ) I do have a twitter and a bluesky in my carrd above for a reason.
I might take a break tomorrow but there's like two more days ...hnng.
Finished this in time for @watermechweek (SFW) Day 4- Confessions with a cute drunken kiss
More rambling of course below the cut
Back at it late and again with fan art??? Yes, yes I am. it's another ship that gives me joy and I'll eventually colour this in cause there's just a lot I want to add. But for now it's my headcanons and coloured lines. It's konda weird seeing WB without the yellow but...that will be fixed. Eventually.
I super think they turned out really cute and I'm already planning for day 5!!
He puts the mecha in the man, And the man in the Mecha ⚙
Yapping below cause it's a lil long
This is also known as "local gay barely survives drawing white man" by one of my friends [lol] I honestly drew him three times before I could really throw myself into it and it still took a lot of time.
I genuinely like Bob Bob but like man need a hug and therapy...among many other things.
I thought about posting a lil more about what i've added since working on these as my lil headcanons, it'll be some common place stuff and some not so much, and if anyone reads this my other images will be edited with more too!
So off the rip: scars, yes they're recognizeable but you're telling me that this man, who is a hero, gets into scraps with metas, gets tortured , and seems to minimally care for himself doesn't have them especially around his hands that he works with? Hmm.... 'Sure,Jan." So He's got things like scarring on his knuckles and fingers from reaching into the mech bare handed not just from fighting. Yes he has scars on his wrist from struggling against restraints he probably has more on his body about it, he's also got lil scars from IVs. I genuinely headcanon this man has left hospitals over and over again, his focus is the mission and not his personal health. Robert has probably signed more AMAs before joining SDN with thier probably good health insurance.
He has a cane for chronic pain, ambulatory aid use is a thing for him and you can't take that from me as someone of the same vein.
He's got a lot of greys and faded hair cause stress, stress, and more stress. I think he shaves the underside because it was probably thinning out at one point.
A close up detail is that he has a developing cataract from repeated blows to the head. Since he's human he's squishy like that but again the medical system is pretty good in the dispatch...verse??? Honestly I can believe for a lot of universes the medical system is better then 'here' but like it's not perfect.
I don't see a lot of fan art of Robert in his jacket too, its usually his hoodie , i like to think it's his father's sometimes
wow, this went on for too long and I still have a whole Saturday ahead of me
Reference and Yapping in the read more below!

✎﹏Maybe I'm old [I am believe me] But i grew up reading this book by Kevin McCloud and I still really want to make comics among other things.
Sometimes I find myself drawing less Hiro the dullahan and more so 'me', but that mostly happens when I'm posting WIPS on bluesky lol and even then they're not as detailed as this version.
A small animation to just practice movement, kinda had some anime ED vibes imho

Jester ramblings below in a new format.✦ ݁˖
I keep reminding myself to just put what I've made out there in the world . Even if I think it's cringe, stupid, or just not good enough I'm doing it scared, anxious...full of love for the things I do. A friend mentioned that it looks like I'm starting to get more confident in my art but, the reality is I don't really see it? Maybe I'll look back in a few years and se the growth but for now we're chugging along. To the few to five who actually read this Thanks. And to anyone who manages to find this thanks for reading! Now onto the next one [[soon ish ]]
And after redrawing him three times I finally settled on a pose I actually like. I'm honestly working on this with a pulled muscle in my shoulder of my drawing hand but I can't stop yet.
Something that I know I'm including: Robert being beat tf up, I severely understand overworking yourself and the effects it has on your body. I realized I never uploaded my edit/draw over of him anywhere ...
oops
Anyway silly gif below because it encapsulates just me drawing more of these characters in my headcanons and style
The Crispy Fries on the Side, The Fire AND Flame 🔥✨ 🍟
A lil extra under the cut
I loved putting my little twist on him cause all five of you know how much i love my details. I was super conflicted for his hair but i really wanted it to have lil blonde bits in it cause he waaas originally supposed to be "Blonde Blazer" but also just glorious hair. He's got his charm points too- the antenna and bent button piercing is important, just like the sparkles.
Why the planets and stars? Asked no one- cause he's the center of the universe!! ... And i got tired of drawing flames (wheezelaugh)
Addition as of [4/4/2026] I posted in my Robert Robertson the 3rd post that I'd be secretly editing these to include details and headcanon I have. Sooo here we go with Flambae!
I love when fanon gives him not straight hair. A few friends thoguth I was giving him frizzy hair? Wrong...ish I wanted it to look more like smoke and fuses even his lil exposed nerves antennae. I mentioned i wanted some blonde in there since he was the original Blonse Blazer but I also thought it would look nice instead of him just going grey/silver.
He's got a lil gold eyeshadow and cause he would def pull it off * sharp red eyeliner*. This is very important [jk I just like Shadow the edge hedge]. He's also got a few piercings [his ear, the fandom fave of his nipples, and his bellybutton], how they don't melt off I still don't know but I think they're neat and I bet he thinks they're neat too.
I'm still impressed that flambae canonically designed/made his suit so I think he'd have fun little embellishments and details like the rings on his gloves and the star bursts to allude to becoming one of the greats [ yes, it's to emulate blazer and phenomaman and other TOP Heros] I like to think that Flambae despite being obnoxious and an asshole, he's trying to prove he's the best , and does want to be the best. Plus branding does seem to matter so become recognizable by the masses?
Other things I thought about while drawing him: He does have a replacement tooth buut I like to think he doesn't keep it cause despite his ego it's you that needs to accept him- missing parts and all. I added some darkening of his fingertips and of course his missing fingers also have scarring too. Of course I made him tan, even if he's 'light skinned' I don't think he burns and could use more colour period.

finally made some fanart I really like and maaan I loved doing little things to make it my own. [yap mode engaged]
From the boots , which I see a lot of folks make the tall man taller with the chunkiest boots buut personally I really wanted to give him heavy shoes with a little flaire. I really wanted his suit to look a bit more neoprene then latex. And I really liked the idea of his hair being fluffy with him running around in the LA weather so much but still wet like lightly so. Plus, the piercings- I am still unsure where I sit on heavily pierced Waterboy but I like juuuuust enough cause Alt/MetalHead Waterboy will forever live rent-free in my head.
A lil more as of 4/4/2026:Since i mentioned I'd add more to these from my man mecha post... Some more ramblings for those who read more !!
I'll elaborate a lil from the above paragraph about Alternative! Waterboy. I love that the fandom makes him a metalhead cause of those posters in his room. As an alternative person myself I always appreciate when I see a character like this! I also like to think his pads are also worn into a pit to safely thrash oor cause he's a whole slippery noodle and may elbow someone in the face and it will hurt more.
I also love seeing him with a crazy amount of piercings but I do like to think he'd take some out for work,or they'd heal over easy cause of his eater which makes it a but complicated to get new ones...buuut he seems to try hard to fit in at his job so maybe he has those special studs that he can wear at work so they won't close up BUT he can wear them whole out and about.
I've seen a few folks give him the tallest chunkiest boots and it's one of the few things I thought about but I honestly wanted to just give him heavy shitkickers with a few extra details but nothing super tall. A good boot mean you can do a lot in them.
I didn't change too much about his suit but I made it closer to a neoprene wet suit...and trust i looked up wet suits , dry suits, and latex suits to understand the difference. I also thougth of those ribbon eels while colouring him in wwwwwsomething about those slightly darker ridges add to the patterning and let my eyes follow lines better, maybe it's just me.
Lastly, His waves and curls- I love seeing him have this texture. The waterlogged straight hair is fine. it's cute but this is nicer. and he too gets a little exposed nerve antennae.
A Flambae headcanon edit-warm up I did forever ago cause I think he and a few others from the Dispatch game are really neat.
I genuinely like that the fandom as a collective made very fun choices for him which I'm always wanting to draw but I'm never sure on how I'd like to do that in my style. I know I'll upload Waterboy at some point and I'll finish Robert cause they're all just fun.
sometimes you try to do two things at once and forget there's copious amounts of ass...I know what I signed up for.
I'll admit the show was pretty interesting especially as a hyper casual hockey fan due to my consumption of Letterkenny. And I really liked the music...

Joon Kim groaned internally as he rummaged through his lunch, it was and off week for Sky- she'd be going to her mom's for a while. Two weeks in fact for a vacation with Terra's side of the family as promised. It wasn't a bad thing to have time to himself but he hated not having his lil munkey around to keep him on his toes. The days felt longer already and it stirred up residual anxiety in the pit of his stomach.
But two weeks of vacation meant he could get out and have some 'me time' ? The partially metal man let out a breath he didn't realize he was holding into the chicken salad on wilty greens he'd been working on . "Who am I kidding- I don't exactly go out enough to *make* plans." he muttered to himself and just thought about maybe ordering out and binging some show he heard title dropped around the office. A form taking a seat at his table and putting down a paper bag jostled him from the clouded thoughts.
His coworker and dispatchee, Dissonance [just Dis was easier on the tongue] , took a seat across from the other. The crust punk's delighted little smile made JK raise an eyebrow," You're looking like you heard something interesting?" The rumble that could have been a chuckle bubbled up in the other's chest before they spoke.
" *I heard a few folks are going to be crashing karaoke night at some bar.* " The other tore into the bag of chilli cheese fries with ...pickles? JK screwed up his nose at the sound hero's eating habits yet again.
"Okay...why do I need to know? Are you going to crash it along with who ever else?"
"*I mean, yeah... why not?*"
"Dis- if it's a competition , you're literally cheating with your powers."
The gutter punk let out a comical groan, leaning back and throwing his hands up,"*UGH- Joon, c'mooon I'm feeling stir crazy! I need to go do something *- WE *should go do something fun. *"
"of course we should do- wait how and why did I get dragged into this. What if I have plans?"
JK raised a scar brow and eyes met a twinkle of mischief,"*you had me watch Sky for a bit and-*"
"She made you my babysitter while she's gone."
Joon Kim now groaned again outwardly,"Disssss....no"
"**DIS YESSSSSS**"
