Queer Shakespeare

Call me Shakes! (Please not Willy I'm begging you 😂) 29, she/her, ace/pan-rom, Christian, artist and writer Fandoms: ROTTMNT, TMNT MM, Doctor Who (sort of), Arcane Main Account: @shakes-rambles Tcest pls DNI

[willy-shakesqueer]

Had a few new followers, so just to introduce myself:

I'm Willy-ShakesQueer, I go by Shakes, or anything else (except Willy 😅)

She/her, ace+pan-rom, 28 y/o, Christian, Neurodivergent (undiagnosed but something's wrong 🤣) from the UK.

I'm a Creative Writing and Film graduate who writes fanfic and draws/sketches characters from my favourite shows.

My Fandoms change frequently, at the moment it's TMNT or nothing 😅

You may get likes and asks from my main blog: @shakes-rambles (this blog can't do that 😭)

Important info: I don't follow minors, and my private messages are made private, because I am an adult and for the safety of both of us, if you're under 18, our conversations should be public. That's not because I don't want to talk to you - I'm trying to keep you safe!

(When I was a minor I put myself in a LOT of danger, and looking back at myself, the potential outcomes are very scary! Plus I work with children and youth in my day job so I'm naturally very aware of safeguarding lol)

[sevenfootstaff]

Thought I'd try out @willy-shakesqueer's DTIYS.

The turtles are fine I swear. I only put on 'Imaginary'. Also Donnie cannot be stopped simply because his phone was taken away >:)

[willy-shakesqueer]

Wowowow I love what you've done with this! They're so baby I love them, Raph and Leo hiding together 😭 and April patting Raph on the back too ugh

Thank you for joining in I love this so much

[con-the-kobold]

Ive been dealing with some pretty bad art block recently, so when I saw @willy-shakesqueer 's DTIYS i was like "Oh well thatll work."

It did work btw, yay me

Anyway here's the art :3 It was fun to draw, although I have NO idea why I did lighting I'm too tired for it to look good idk whatever...

[willy-shakesqueer]

Did... Did I already reblog this?

I don't think I did

I don't care anyway though because THIS IS SO FRIGGIN COOL! Thank you so much for joining in your art is just *chefs kiss* if my followers have to look at it twice I don't care it's beautiful

I'm so sorry I left you waiting so long without acknowledgement 😭

[willy-shakesqueer]

Hey guys sorry for the radio silence this week work has just been A Lot. I'll get those Twitch stream drawings up soon :P

[willy-shakesqueer]

Say Help - Part 20

Oh, sod it - update jumpscare! I was further ahead than I realised when I finished working on the comic yesterday, so you can have this today. And yes, I'm gonna fix all the links in previous parts and in the masterpost! I'm sorry I keep forgetting, but I can only do it on the computer as the post editor just crashes on Tumblr mobile.

Anyways - a wild Splinter appears! Guys I'm gonna be really real with you, I can't believe how much more confident I am now with drawing him. From the last time he appeared to the parts you haven't seen yet, it's like he's suddenly just clicked for me? IDK, I just love art, man. Can't wait for you to see more of him!

See you next time :P

First - Previous - Next Masterpost

[willy-shakesqueer]

I love them, your honour

Petition to give Raph like a thousand-ty-million hugs because he deserves it (my girl April gets it)

They make me so cuteness-aggression lemme just *rabid animal noises*

[sibillascribbles08]

Saw @willy-shakesqueer's DTIYS and it inspired me to draw this despite the amount of characters involved. It's the Bone Deep Color Stains squad specifically

Imagine Casey and Donnie are arguing about whatever you want.

ID in alt text

Also a bonus version under the cut that might explain all the negative space in there :3c

[willy-shakesqueer]

Waaaaaah this is so incredibly good!! I love love love people using their own AUs or stories as inspo!

I thought 5 was a lot of characters to draw but you've done soooo many 😂 and it's so good to see the human characters and your OCs too!

Thank you so much for joining in!!

[willy-shakesqueer]

Yo imagine you're a night-owl waking up every morning to that family. Bro's got it rough.

I think maybe part of why I wasn't feeling very happy with my art was because I wasn't warming up before I worked?? And just working on stuff that I'd already sketched, so I wasn't using my sketching-it-out muscles. So here, have a warm-up sketch.

Doodle for @willy-shakesqueer DTIYS! :D

It’s like the ‘seventy alternate accounts’ meme, but he has seventy phones stashed in the couch cushions.

Wanted to draw them all, but up to my ears in studying so just the left side of the couch for now >:].

Congrats on 1500!!!

[willy-shakesqueer]

Oh yeah, this is perfect 😂 I literally just saw the TikTok someone made using the "I have 70 alternative accounts" with Donnie and Leo ahaaaa

Donnie being like Olivia from GOAT is a mental image I adore 🤣

Thank you for joining in even though you're super busy! I love your art! His big oversized space t-shirt I lovveee him and April looking so sure she's gottim ugh

[chickenkoop]

First post? Yeah, buttt I decided to participate in @willy-shakesqueer's DTIYS! I'm not the best at drawing the Rise bros so why not use this as an opportunity to draw them? Thanks for the awesome opportunity, it was totes fun!

[willy-shakesqueer]

Ohmigosh that's amaaaazing!! Love how in character they all are and the shading and the colouring wowowow! They're incredible.

Thanks for joining in!!! 😁

[willy-shakesqueer]

Silly request drawing from my stream last week - "PB&J causing chaos". And I thought, well, I can't think of a single experiment Mikey would say no to, if it meant helping out his most science-est brother.

Raph, on the other hand, has just the smallest shred of a sense of self-preservation.

[willy-shakesqueer]

Shakes' 15k DTIYS! - Movie Night!

To celebrate hitting 1500 followers, I challenge YOU to draw this in your style!

(Yeah I know, it took me two weeks, and yeah, now it's technically 16k - but I did it!)

I'm literally so honoured to be followed by so many lovely people, you've encouraged me and loved me through one of the hardest times in my life - so now it's your time to shine! I wanna see what you can do with this :D

Rules (and colouring page!) below the cut:

You CAN:

change up the pose, lighting, colours, or use this as inspiration for something else!

leave out or add in characters

do whatever you like, as long as it's your own!

Please DON'T:

Trace the image - I want to see your own art skills!

Share or repost my art without credit, or remove the signature

Look at it and say "I can't do it, I'm not good enough" - yes you are! Who said it had to be perfect?

Have fun and PLEASE tag me so I can see and share what you do! (if you don't want your art shared to my blog, please say so in the image caption and I won't!)

...

Okay, okay, so I hear you. Some of you want to join in but don't feel up to doing the linework. Well, lucky for you, I've made you a colour-less version which you can colour in for funsies! Same rules as above, but again, just tag/credit me and don't erase the signatures. Print on paper or remove the background in your favourite art programme.

Can't wait to see what you guys come up with!

As always, love ya,

Shakes 💚

[willy-shakesqueer]

Day after reblog 💚

[ieatwormys]

Here is mine, I’m still working on my drawing mostly digitally so please give me feedback back if you don’t mind!

[willy-shakesqueer]

OH THANK GOODNESS I FOUND YOU--

I left this when I first found it because I wanted to give a decent response and then I lost you in my notifications pffffff

This is soooo cute I love the colours you've chosen!! And the tails, and the way they're draped over each other aaaa cuties. And their expressions awwwww you've done amazing!

For feedback... What art programme and equipment are you using?? It could be fun to experiment with different brushes for your lineart, especially if you're using a graphics tablet/pen surface with varying pen pressure - although I'm well aware that many people, myself included, don't have the money to put into that kinda stuff 😅 - But there's something about varying line weight that really elevates the look of your lines.

Pls keep uploading things I'd love to see more!

Meltdown Imminent

Throws my 'Donnie goes to Raph if he can't control his meltdown' headcannon at you with extreme aggression

(This autism thing is kicking my ass right now, my body feels weird, nothing I draw looks right, I want to throw up, throw something, or throw myself out of a window - and he's my comfort character for a reason. Allow me to vent, if you will~)
