As sad as it is that's UD is discontinuing I can't wait for 55 Calibre to come out! I'm glad you took that opportunity!

Thank you so much for the support! The UD AU was so much fun while it lasted and I'm always going to think of it fondly. I'm also glad that someone other than me is looking forward to 55 Calibre

I'm gunna get straight to the point here...

I will not be continuing the rotTMNT Universal Divide AU 😢

Why?

I've landed a job working on a sponsored webcomic series. Working on my own original comic has been a dream and I can't let this opportunity pass me by so I really need to focus on this which means I can't continue the UD AU

What does this mean for the future?

I will still post about rottmnt and TMNT crossovers in general when I have the time, but most of my art and focus will be on this webcomic.

Couldn't you have said this earlier?

Yes, I could have. But I procrastinated because I didn't know how to go about saying all this.

Will the UD AU be coming back?

Unfortunately that is highly unlikely.

What's the name of the webcomic your working on?

I'm glad you asked! It's called 55 Calibre and it's a story about learning parenthood and empathy with a father and daughter as they survive in a dystopian world. The comic isn't out yet but as soon as I have the greenlight to start advertising and giving sneak peeks of it I will!

TOGETHER THEY WILL RULE THE TRISTATE AREA!!!!

(also this is just a quick drawing to get back into the groove doing art again because it's been so LONGGGG! I missed you guys and I'm working on making art to answer the asks I got while I was inactive)

Can I ask if you can put your Universal Divide AU on a master post?

You know what, it didn't even cross my mind that I should make a master post for it. But sure thing I can, I'll get right on that!

[muckumsing-art]

here's a silly comic to keep you fed while I work on the next big UD AU update

[muckumsing-art]

(Random headcannon) if the all of the ud!turtles were ever to meet and they find out each of the adopted turtles was one of the counterparts of them, I can totally see the Bayverse!turtles initially think Leon (or whatever they name him) is Mikey’s counterpart due to the two seeming close and other Leonisms, only to be totally floored that he is actually grumpy bossy Leo’s counterpart.

I also wanted to say that I love your art and this is one of my favorite tmnt aus ever! ☺️🥰

I love this hc SO MUCH!!!! Also I'm so honored that you enjoy my AU <3333

ALSO, I rlly liked doing this quick sketch for this ask; so if anyone has any headcannons, ideas of cute/fun interactions, requests or questions please tell me in an ask and if I can I'll draw a response!

[muckumsing-art]

PLEASE PLEASE put Universal Divide on AO3, it would be so much easier to read, please and thank you

a fanfic for it on AO3 is in the works! Idk when it'll be out but I know I want to post it when I have the ability to give you guys a regular update schedule which probably won't happen till I finish all of my classes for this semester. If I'm lucky I'll be able to finish all of my classes within the next week so, wish me luck!

Things have been resolved, thank you everyone who was looking out for me and informed me of this situation

Hey just letting you know tumblr user ‘odd-in-my-own-way” is reposting your art without credit. Figured you’d want to know.

Thank you (and everyone else who sent me similar messages) for letting me know!

TLDR: the user @/odd-in-my-own-way stole my art and the art of other talented creatives, please report them and the posts that they've stolen my art in

I checked out @/odd-in-my-own-way 's account and yes, they are stealing my art as well as the art of other talented creatives :/

I've sent them a DM (I'll show a screenshot below) warning them to remove the stolen art from their profile. They responded and changed their profile to give credit it so me but they are still posting my art without permission. I'll include a screenshot of what they say, but they claim to not have known I had a Tumblr account which like... Really? You couldn't come up with anything more creative or believable? My name is LITERALLY on every corner of the comic and those comics were ONLY posted in that quality to Tumblr and you're telling me that you got these files with the same pixel quality from somewhere else when they were exclusively posted here? Yea, sure pal, I believe you /s. Sooo yea, if you could take a moment to report them, that'd be great

(Incase they backtrack and change their profile, here's screenshots of how things looked before I confronted them)

Ty @muckumsing-art for the idea the Twitter concoctions are elite tonight

Casey and Raph are my favorite duo in all iterations but. The height difference between them in Rise is very silly to me. My personal hc is that WHILE ofc Casey is terrifying, Raph can’t help but occasionally find her cute simply because she’s looking up at him all the time. She could fold him at any moment obviously but that’s not relevant sometimes

[muckumsing-art]

So happy to see the 4th part go up of the au comic! (The Donnies interacting is precious and I love them). I think a fic would be great, but I do love the comic cause the babies are so dang cute, and seeing the interactions with the other turtles is adorable. I’m sure whatever you decide will be great, I’m just happy you are continuing the story. 😊

So it seems that the general consensus is to have a fic which focuses on the main plot of this AU while still having comic strips for cute/funny interactions, which I'm all for! That leaves the question of which set do I make a fic for first OR should the fic focus on a different set each chapter?

[muckumsing-art]

Seems like the general consensus for the continuation of the Universal Divide AU is to make it a fic with comic highlights (more updates and info on that soon). Anyways I put way too much effort into this comic 😅 I hope you enjoyed

[muckumsing-art]

FOURTH EDITION TO THE UNIVERSAL DIVIDE AU!

AND THERE IT IS! THE FINAL OF THE FIRST INTERACTIONS! I wanna continue the story of this AU but I'm on the fence of whether I should continue it as a comic series here or proceed by making it a fic on ao3 so please let me know what you'd prefer!

UNIVERSAL DIVIDE AU UPDATE AND SNEAK PEAK!!!

The comic is coming along great! At this rate it should be finished in a couple days! I've also finished a draft for when 2012!Leo discovers 2012!Raph brought a toddler mutant turtle home and it's pretty funny in my humble opinion.

Here's a quick drawing that I finished Wednesday
