#[ thank you for the ask!! ]

[mybutterflykindred]

Hi!! I love your Kazekage Temari and Sunan Shikadai!! I know you said you are not thinking about making it a fic and I totally respect that, I just wanted to know if you have thought of other headcanons for this universe 💕 like for example if shikamaru and temari ever see each other and how do those moments go, shikadai's relationship with his mom and dad, or his dad's friends and family, in which sense shikadai thinks they still like each other (does shikamaru ever send temari gifts? Is it about the way they speak about each other?), if shinki exists or not.

Sorry if it's a very loaded question, I am just soo caught up with the lore ahah you can also don't answer if you aren't that invested in this alternative universe, i don't mind - i am just going to take this little space to say that I love your artstyle!!

Kisses!!

Oh my gosh, ty for the lovely note! Not a loaded question at all-- I wanted to answer after I had somewhat finished the piece above. Here are some updates to the original headcanon with Shinki included: 

Following the events of Gaara Hiden, the Council are still disillusioned with Shikamaru and Temari being married, especially because Gaara and Kankuro do not have any kids or romantic prospects. 

Gaara takes in a young orphan boy named Shinki who demonstrates a great Iron Sand ability. The Council fears that Gaara is raising him to be the next heir, which is a problem because they don’t know who Shinki’s parents are.

Suna is very traditional and prefers that every leader have direct ancestry to the past Kazekages. 

The Council fears that Shinki is an omen to Suna’s future. 

(retcon) Shinki is a 2 years older than Shikadai, so he’s more adept at wielding chakra at this time.

The Council gives Gaara an ultimatum: (1) release Shinki from his care, get married, and produce a biological heir; or (2) step down from the Kazekage role. The Council gives Gaara three years to make a decision (I originally said five years, but I’m retconning it to three lol). Shikadai is 2 years old and Shinki is 4 years old at this time. 

Baki warns the siblings that the Council is planning a takeover, and to avoid this at all costs. 

Knowing Gaara will step down to protect Shinki, Temari returns to Sunagakure with Shikadai (5 years old) to prevent a takeover from the Council led by Ebizo and Tojuro. This appeases the Council and the public, because now they have a future biological heir living with them. 

Tired of the politics, Gaara eventually steps down. Temari assumes the Kazekage title with Kankuro as her second-in-command. 

Temari and Shikamaru divorce for the official record.

Shinki, Yodo, and Araya have their own team/clique. Shikadai joins them occasionally on missions, but he feels like an outsider. 

Do Temari and Shikamaru still like each other?

They do not talk at Kage Summits. It is a running joke that if they need to communicate on important matters, they will send notes through like twenty different people before it reaches the other. 

When they do talk about each other, they don’t say names. Instead, Shikamaru will say “How’s the tornado?” or “Did the cyclone die down, yet?” and Shikadai knows he is referring to his mother. Temari calls him “your idiot father.” 

On a few occasions, she’ll receive unmarked flowers, or a basket of chocolate and sweet chestnuts at her office. Shikadai suspects Shikamaru is sending her these items because few people know they are her favorite treats.

Shikamaru has an on-and-off again relationship with Shiho from the Cryptography unit. They go on a few dates but he’s not completely invested. 

People encourage Shira to ask out Temari; neither of them entertain this. 

On the surface, Shikadai pretends not to care. But the thought of his parents dating other people makes him viscerally sick.  

Shikadai’s relationship with Shikamaru (when he visits Konoha).

Thinks his dad is lazy, awkward and underwhelming.

Finds Shikamaru’s friends and neighbors annoying and overly-friendly, considering he didn’t grow up with them (e.g. Inojin, Chocho, Mirai, Boruto). 

He does like Yoshino as she coddles him in ways his mother doesn’t. Shikamaru complains that she is spoiling her grandson. 

Doesn’t know his father’s jutsus, but is very adept at planning strategies himself.

Is disappointed that Shikamaru allowed their family to be separated. Thinks his dad didn’t fight for them. But the truth is more complicated :(

They manage to bond over Shogi. But it always ends in a stalemate. 

This moment is captured in the illustration above, with Shikamaru apologizing for his mistakes as a father and husband.

crazy question but have u ever drawn yaoi where one is a girl? i forget what's it called tho

HETEROSEXUALITY?

[spicy-apple-pie]

Hi spicy! This is my first time doing an ask for you!

What do you think of the hc that kryptonians can purr?

Idk if this is an ask on what you think or a drawing request but you could pick either one (it would be cool if you did both!)

I read this fic a while ago that had this hc, and it has had a claim on my mind ever since

I think this would look really cute in your art style or I just would really love to know what you think of it, if you don't wanna draw that

(The fics name is cat tactic of healing by CarrionCarnival if you want to read it :D)

Btw I love your Damijon art and I absolutely die every time I see it. They're just so cute!

I hope you have a good day/night!

First of all, thank you so very much!! It means a lot to me!

Second of all, I LOVE that headcanon. I had to doodle something real quick lol. Cat’s bones vibrate at a frequency that helps bones heal, so Damian gets some prescription cuddles!!

Sorry that it’s so mess, I might do a cleaner version later and tag you in it.

[spro-o]

this is so stupid but

Hannibal and house meeting

they'd absolutely be worst enemies or besties

I think Hannibal would judge the shit outta Hoise for his (lack of) grooming habits, and House would want to out Hannibal in a Petri dish and analyse him 🫶 they’d be such worsties

also I apologise for taking absolute ages to get through requests - I’m going them chronologically so bare with me yall 😭

[yellowflowrs]

i cant help but imagine swapped narinder's reaction to the carillonneur pre-insanity arc.

"there's no way this is the same motherfucker"

yeah

bonus little lazy comic

[chocostrwberry]

Yo! I wanna see how would Chloé and Zoé interact in your AU. (Also, I freakin' adore your art style XD)

(TYSM for the compliment!! 🌈🌈🩷🥹🤲)

I HAVE A WHOLE THING AB THAT- 🫵

Quick chocoau! Zoe backstory: She’s an influencer from Los Angeles who came to Paris for an abroad trip vlog (funded by Audrey, ofc). So she’s basically a social media nepo baby. So there’s also that contrast with how she portrays herself in a “shallow” personality and who she really is, which is reserved and shy and insecure.

I was thinking that when Zoe showed up to stay with them, Chloe got like, a whiplash of trauma of how Audrey basically hates her and loves Zoe more (sending her gifts and funding her trips) so whenever she’s around her she’s more hostile and cruel, but also anxious and always on edge.

Zoe is gonna be the final part of Chloe’s redemption arc, because by the time Zoe is in the picture, she’s still Queen Bee. Some trauma bonding later and Chloe is actually the one to give her bee miraculous to Zoe, because she realizes that she’s not a good miraculous holder bc of her own baggage and Zoe would be the best fit and deserves it, solidifying Chloe’s redemption arc!!

TLDR; it started out being a one-sided hatred, but then they become literal sisters!! 🩷🩵🐝

*Shaking you* your art is so good!

sorry i saw the tag that you've been a fan a submas for a long time and i got excited

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! 🧡

I don't have any old old art of them, but here! I redrew an older piece of them hard at work at their minimum wage jobs!!!

[itsonlypolite]

I just noticed. Your cheated design has clipped wings, or what looks like it. Did he just happen to be like that or was it from his fight with the Razor

Yes!! I'm so glad someone noticed!! So if anyone's keeping track, my Cheated can't fly because his wings are clipped, one of them has been cut off, AND he's afraid of heights :)

[martineisling]

I just binged all of Dungeons and Daddies and I loved going through your art as a post-dndads decompression/digestion method

yeaaa man reading this just made me think of how heart-breaking these guys were (are). a podcast to be digested for sure

[poindexters-labratory]

idk what character but can you draw someone dabbing

ask and ye shall receive

Can you do the scientist tower celebrating Christmas:3? Hopefully Phobos is nice Enough to I've his employees presents

He's nice enough to let them celebrate

[datcravat]

HI HELLO I love your art So much,,, do you have any tutorials on how you render your stuff? For example, the colors you use & how you pick them, how you get that pink tone around the Lineart (I think) (it's just rly cool). I would love to see stuff like that, cuz your art is Such visual candy (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)

Hey! Thank you so much, I'm glad you like my art, I worked hard to make it what it is!! Means a lot you appreciate it!!!!!!

I've had no professional art training, I seriously don't know what I'm doing and struggle making tutorials. But will try here!!

For me the colour work is really situational on the drawing! I find myself experimentally attempting to weaponize colour theory and there's a lot of instinct involved that I can't figure out how to verbalise yet. Here's an example of some thought process I have:

My main advice is to play with sliders a lot and really experiment (that's what I do for every drawing)!

To get the pink glow around your lineart, copy your lineart layer, fill the copy in with a pink of your choice (sometimes I do a gradient), blur the layer (experiment with how much blur you'd like), put it directly below the lineart layer, and set the layer to multiply (or any mode you think looks pretty)!

You may want to adjust your piece's brightness/colours after applying it and sharpen the image after exporting.

A lot of colour gradients are involved and on their own they can eventually compromise the gritty/punchy style, especially the ones that are between extreme and subtle. A good way to combat this is with screentones/haftones!! You can use them to diversify colours and imply shading/texture.

I recommend going nuts and having a lot of fun with it to find what works for you!

I often add a lot of small lens flares as they satisfyingly cut through the piece, imply flash photography (which goes well with the strong black shading), add visual noise to areas you don't want to be your main point of focus, are a great way to show speculars, and idk man sparkles are just pretty haha.

Go nuts with them and have fun!! When you get them to look good, think to yourself why that is.

I made a tutorial ~1 year ago on how I shade with black. This simple trick will really help it look good, 3D and rendered - it just requires a lot of knowledge about shadows to start with. I have a lot of experience rendering "normally" which helped me learn how to use black in an experimental way.

Minor correction that the shadows labelled "ambient occlusion" in the tutorial are actually just normal shadows, ambient occlusion is total lack of light.

I hope this is useful to you!! You have a knack for art, your work is very inspired. Please keep drawing!! I am still learning too, let's keep going baby.

ok before i lose my nerve

if i may ask

some aymaxo? (pierre/max)

they're so doomed old men yaoi it's so miserable and cursed but actually Pierre really loves him and Maxo only ever planned on using Pierre and i hate how much i actually got invested in this ship and i see hardly any content that doesnt just make it a meme (distant echoey wails)

(((ps its absolutely fine if not dwwwww hope you have good mornight <3))

[spicy-apple-pie]

Next time it will be a cat, cow,

Damian waking Bruce up: “Father, I need help.”

Bruce, panicking because Damian never asks for help: “What? What’s wrong? What happened?”

Damian, clutching his face: “Alfred accidentally stepped on my eye, and now I can’t see.”

Bruce, not catching on that Damian means the cat not the butler: “????”

[spro-o]

this may be a strange request but could you draw the Ducklings (+ House?) in animal onesies, with their reactions to being forced to wear such ensembles (my guess is some form of bet). i think it would be hilarious to see foreman very upset about a dinosaur onesie and chase just rolling with it

House has opinions he wants to share,,,

I’d imagine this was Cameron’s birthday wish and the other two felt obliged to comply

[yellowflowrs]

i think the funniest thing would be if only The Carillonneur has the ability to break the fourth wall, even between OG Narinder and Warweaver Shamura (they both think they're just extra crazy)

TRULY hit the nail with this one bwhhehegah
