Sonnet For Xiao
Winter steals each breath leaving you with grief
Thou miss thy kin, yet never fail to live
Till spring, heart aches and yearns without relief
At war, blood spilled that thou wouldn't forgive
Time seems to stop as earth unburies jade
Come close and let me hold you, shed no tear
I stay alone, unable to dissuade
Corruption, thy close friend, leaves me with fear
Yet I love and wait, one day, I've believed
Blood shan't besmirch thy hands nor gentle soul
Flute sounds upon the wind, thy pain's relieved
My wish for thee, thy's chance to laugh, to stroll
See the peaceful harbor, what thou'st fought for
Lay down the spear, for war is now no more

My page for @kairizine. It was such a huge honor to be part of this wonderful book with everyone, I had so much fun!
[id in alt!]
#kingdom hearts#kh#kh kairi#kh xion#kh namine#i don't really feel proud of my own stuff usually but#i really think this is the drawing i'm most proud of from this past year!! it made me think 'oh maybe i can draw' haha#i'm still kinda bad with colors but something clicked with this one. and i feel like i got the sentimental feeling i wanted!#ooh but this project's about flower symbolism so ramble incoming:#protea symbolizes resilience transformation and diversity; hollyhock means 'please remember me.'#so my general theme was finding a sense of self.#these 3 have struggled with finding their own identity; they tend to get left behind both in-universe and in general plotwise#and naminé and xion both resemble kairi and were overshadowed by her memory. but i feel like all 3 have transformed into their own people#xion and naminé have their faces covered partially by hollyhock to show their wish to be remembered for who they are-#instead of the parts that they share with someone else#and the protea bouquets show how they each held on and resiliently grew into their own person despite it all#i put a little swervy path on the hill behind kairi to give that hopeful sense of growth and moving forward. it's a little hard to see#hopefully that makes sense! i really love symbolism but i think in visuals so i'm really bad with words#but gosh working with everyone on this project was so fun. it was like impossible not to get swept up by the team's hype for this zine#i need to hunt down everybody's work and rb it#ohh and everybody's flowers are so crisply drawn it's insane!! i think if i lined all these flowers and leaves i'd die haha#fan art#my art#project stuff

redraw of one of my very first tmnt drawings!!
had meant to do it exactly the one year later mark, but i blinked and suddenly april was may was june -- so ended up being more like a year and 1.5 months lol
May 11th, 2024 vs. April 6th, 2023

its so funny seeing them nest to each other now, but i remember when i finished the first version last year, i was so proud to have finally made a proper 'finished' piece.
like, yall, i struggled for years to every be able to create a piece i would ever call close to 'done'. part of that is me being a very knit-picky kinda person, and wanted to continue to tweak everything all of the time forever, but on top of that i also do work slow af, and before last year i didnt really have access to any digital media. and i love traditional mediums, but im defintiely not practiced enough to be able to get the results i was looking for with any sort of speed. like im genuinely not sure i created a single 'finished' work in my life -- not in school, not in work, not even in the free space of silly fandom doodles.
and then this piece happened!
and i knew even then that it was messy and rough af, but it had a background!! and color!! sure, the linework wasnt polished at all but still, for a silly little fanart? it was defined enough to distinguish the separate characters, and read expressions! there was even a little tiny bit of lighting!! i hate lighting!!
seeing the two versions side by side honestly i kinda have to laugh at how Rough the first version looks now. but you know what. im still so so proud of it. the colors are muddy, theres no shift in value; their clothing designs arent at all defined, leos teeth look weird af and theres lines on caseys face that are definitely from me accidentally dragging my fingers across the tablet when i didnt mean to but like. its there! its finished! i did it!
idk. ive never had a piece ive ever wanted to hang on my own fridge before. :)
#disappears off tumblr for like two months#im alive i swear#my art#human tmnt#rottmnt#redraw#did the old one in early April of 2023 and this new version May 11th 2024#(and then promptly forgot to post it for like a month)#i genuinely didnt think my art had changed that much this past year#besides just getting more comfortable with the digital media#but im actually really really pleased and kinda proud with the improvements!#understanding values and composition esp#always struggled with having characters feel like they actually existed in the same space#and werent just stiff seperate drawings that happened to be next to each other#and color and lighting have always been enemy number one#still definitely cannot begin to say i 'understand' them#but im starting to be able to fake it better#:)

A redraw of this post I made a couple months after Bloodmoon had first died lol
Fun fact!! The flowers shown here—Lycoris Radiata, Higabana, Hurricane Lily, Spider Lily, etc etc—are associated with death, grief, painful memories, and sometimes reincarnation! They're my favorites <3
#xero creations#I RLLY RLLY WISH I HAD A SPEEDPAINT FOR THIS DRAWING TOO BUT I MADE A BLUNDER AND JUST. AUGH#i now know to just. trust the CSP timelapse feature and not like.#try to make the 'cool guy speedpaint' and record my screen for over 3 hours n fill up my storage 😭#ALAS. ALAS!!!! it leaves a deep agony in my soul but OH WELL i'm still wildly proud of this LMAO#sun and moon show#the sun and moon show#tsams#sams bloodmoon#bloodmoon sams#tsams bloodmoon#bloodmoon tsams#fnaf bloodmoon#bloodmoon fnaf#dcamv#< its. technically tsams? but BM has kinda breached containment so i feel like its fair 2 tag it as such ahsjahdj

Ummm!! So i went on a little trip with my family to some mountains nearby, this June,,, and i took some pictures of the scenery i felt that were very aesthetic ! (Atleast to me, because i LOVE taking pictures of a beautiful sky) So, i felt it would be a waste to NOT share some of my favourites with you guys :D
Heres some of the scenery from Pakistan , brought to you by your very own Mun! :-



(This one is my ABSOLUTE favourite ajsnfikridhj because there was a sudden blackout when i snapped this, which makes it look like this came straight out of a horror movie! Haha)

(Mid-Drive smudge but atleast we captured the sunset!)

(and idk but i felt like having just the moon shining your path at night has a vibe of its own. I like that vibe, it's very nostalgic for me)
(Tumblr is making them look grainier ;_; oh)
#photography#Pakistan#Mountains#Aesthetic#photos#ooc#i was feeling very proud of these that my dad suggested i share these on the internet#therefore i am!#funfact on this trip i nearly lost my thumb#because it got struck by the spinning blades of a drone while i was trying to help land it xD haha#suffice to say some of my blood is splattered onna wooden bridge somewhere in the mountains of Pakistan because my finger was FRCKED#but luckily i pressed on it hard immediately so it recovered eventually#i think by sharing this i share a bit of myself with you guys which kinda feels really nice and i know im not the best photographer out-#-there but yeah its still special to me because i captured them :) and i lived them!#by the way i have received a rather long but SUCH. a. NICE. ask on here that i want to answer immediately but I can't :'(#i want to draw Umer thanking the asker but I can't draw it roght now as I'm busy#but if the sender is reading this please know your words have reached me and i will respond to you soon enough hopefully!! much love to u#bye bye for now~

HELLO MA'AM I HAVE TO BOTHER YOU BUT I HAVE ANOTHER REQUEST. CAN WE MAYBE GET BUSINESS AU KITTY, JANE AND CATHY?



honestly not sure how active Z still is, but business au credit goes to @you-need-a-jello-shot!
#six the musical#ask me stuff???#this ask is from 2020. so somewhere in the archives is the companion piece probably.#if my memory serves right kitty was intern jane was ceo and cathy some technical specialist#art style here has kinda morphed to the og because the art was literally such an inspiration when i was a baby artist on this site#it's what i recall learning from you-need-a-jello-shot's art at the time drawn from memory. oddly nostalgic and also proud at my improvemen#ngl idk if anon will see it even! but clearing out inbox. it's going to feel really awkward answering the non-anon asks i think#but there's still 30+ asks so. anyways i shall leave it here for now! bye y'all

wait idk anything about the tevis’— why would tommy tevis call dick his son? would you be willing to give a quick rundown
After Dick failed to get himself incarcerated, he became an enforcer for a mob boss named Tommy Tevis. Tommy took Dick in and made him part of his family. Tommy considered him an honorary son and thought very highly of him.

Nightwing (Vol. 2) #107
He even told Dick that everything he had (his home, his reputation, his family, etc.) was Dick's as well. Lynette, Tommy's wife, told Dick that Tommy would let Dick do anything. The whole family loved Dick, including Tommy's 15 year old daughter, Sophia. Sophia actually had a crush on Dick, but Dick acted like an older brother to her, helping her with her homework and such.
While Dick was away from the family for a few days, the cops busted into the Tevis's home. Lynette got killed in the gunfire, Tommy got taken to jail, and Sophia got taken in by the state.
Dick, while mentoring Rose, broke Sophia out of the state home. He got Sophia to help him with the mob. Then, when Chemo fell on Bludhaven, Dick saved Sophia and left her with Amy. When they reunited at the hospital, Dick asked Sophia to leave the mob behind and join a boarding school.
So, yeah, that's Dick's relationship with the Tevis family.
#no but i love when tommy tells dick that bruce must be proud of him--and dick gets this shameful look on his face and stays quiet#and then tommy playfully pinches dick's cheek and tells him not to worry bc he thinks dick is great/he thinks highly of dick#i mean say what you want about tommy being in the mob and all--but he does seem to be tuned in to dick's emotions#and when the other mobster was kinda grilling dick about being bruce's heir--tommy was frowning real hard on dick's behalf#and he later checked in with dick and was like hey that was kind of shitty and i don't want you feeling like your back's against the wall#like idk it just shows that tommy does care about dick--and he knows bruce is a sore spot for dick#dick--on the other hand--is a bit more emotionally distant from the family#he's just gone through some very traumatizing events and now he's doing some morally questionable things#so there's no way he can be truly authentic with the family when his whole lifestyle is now inauthentic to who he really is#and we see that when dick goes on a job that has a kid involved--and he didn't know there would be a kid there#and he gets very upset about a gun being involved and having a kid watch her dad get beat#so even though he might care about the tevis family--i don't think he could ever feel Truly part of the family#honestly wish a writer would bring back sophia though. would be nice to see dick still in contact with her#Dick Grayson#Tommy Tevis#anon
