[tmnt-ocxcanon-comp]

Do you think you will ever do another one of these? Preferably exclusively for smaller artists?

I really think it’s a massive flaw in a lot of these competitions that put big artists up against smaller ones since it’s obvious people aren’t voting for which oc x canon ship they like more from the infomation provided, they are voting for whose more popular, of course someone who has more followers is going to win every single time.

I think all types of artist should get to participate in these, don’t get me wrong, but it would be nice if there were competitions like this that’s exclusively for smaller-lesser-known artists to give them a chance to shine.

Yes I will be running this competition again!

No I won’t be setting a maximum number of followers for it! These "big artists" aren't just getting votes because they're "popular". They're getting votes because people like their oc x canon ships.

While I won't be catering to your ideal image of what this comp should be (or running 2 comps at once), I understand your frustration and I want to give you an alternative.

At the end of August, a friend made a post that sounded something like "someone should make a competition for OC canon ships that'd be cool" and I thought to myself "hey I'm someone" and you know what? You're someone to! Just remember that whenever you think "It would be nice if this existed"

Now running one of these comps is a little time-consuming but not to difficult. If you ever need any advice feel free to come off anon and ask. Good luck!

Hi!! I'm a big fan of your work and I was just wondering how you plan out compositions?

for me, the story/concept/feeling u wanna convey is the basis for all composition! technical components like line weight, posing, coloring, etc. are all in service to "what is the image supposed to say?"

example: wanted to draw valentines-themed saiou, so i drew them in a chocolate box! ...but it was kind of unsatisfying, so i re-drew ouma and moved some bg elements to try to make a more balanced and interesting composition.

posing reflects a lot of a personality, so "how does the pose express the character's own personality/feelings towards the other?" prompts ideas for how to arrange the composition. like in this case... western valentine's theme -> if ouma had cupid''s arrow? -> needs more distance to nock and draw -> ouma perching on/pinning saihara down. that's the flavor -> then, rearrange the ribbons and treats to follow the flow...

i'll also check layout and values throughout: for example, after finishing fontaine's aq, i wanted to draw smth about furina & focalor's partnership, and focalor controlling her from the shadows... so the concept was "a dance where you can't relax from your partner's lead."

the lineart's a hot mess, but the spotlight helps divide the image, direct the focal point and ties into the aq story.

tl;dr: pose, sightline and visibility are the key traits i focus on in a draw, but the bottom line is always "story" first. hope this helps... even a little bit (':

You lost to Ana, You ugly faggot

I was wondering when you'd show up.

To set a few things straight, I am... so hot. Not to be vain and vapid, but I am not the one to sit around and take the word ugly to heart. Ugly? Ugly??? Wash your mouth, I'm a smoke show, and I'd never hide this face.

Second... how presumptuous. I'm not saying we're going to win. Certainly, it looks like we are not. And if we do not (and I hate to break this to you), life will go on. I'm not sitting here worried about winning or losing. We joined this comp for fun. On a whim. It's really just not something I'm worried about, one way or the other. Feel free to interpret that as you like.

And lastly, when I said I was wondering when you'd show up, I meant that. I expected it. Why expect less, honestly? It's sort of your MO, right? I say something radical, like- I support lgbtq+, and you show up with all the bells and whistles. You're very predictable.

It does make me wonder… does my competitor share this sentiment? That's where you've come from, right? Certainly she wouldn't condone this sort of talk. I wonder if she appreciates having fans like you? Throwing around slurs, being openly homophobic- well, not openly. You are on anon, aren't you?

At any rate, the next time you want my attention, come off anon. I know you won't, you have the spine of a worm. It's easy to be ugly and hide (I wouldn't know). But if you want to engage, you'll need to show me that face.

Does a canon count if it's a fan iteration? I have a raph ship, he's very much a raph, he just kinda looks different

It does! There's no problem with that at all. Just credit the creator of the fan iteration they belong to unless you made it yourself.

doodle sketch for a purely self-indulgent roleswap au ive been mulling over. and by that i mean the only roleswap that happens is togami-fujisaki, mostly bc i think the gender implications would be fascinating

notes n stuff:

polaris, disowning herself from her family, is the ultimate programmer

she has something of a cult following in computer science circles. so she still has a bit of an ego

is mildly paranoid about being found out by one of her former siblings for vengeance reasons. because of that she doesn't like getting close to people

^^ isn't necessarily 'friendly' because of this but still likes showing off

chihiro's father is a major software developer, but chihiro was the one who helped him maintain his company and grow it into a super big tech giant. is expected by everyone around him to inherit it and grow it even more

he acts more friendly compared to canon byakuya, mostly because he knows how to use his appearance to manipulate people

is also used to being manipulated in turn, so any attempts to get close to him get totally shut down

i think they'd see themselves in each other and not know how to deal with that
