#cw heart

[kathaynesart]

Took a bit of time to myself to finally sketch out my vision for Frida based off Andy Suriano’s Farewell. More design thoughts under the cut.

I know some were wary of her appearing too feminine, but honestly I enjoyed the challenge of finding a way to feminize the base turtle model and stay true to Andy’s wonderful design. I don’t want her to just look like her brothers in a show that embraces their differences.

The biggest thing I added to her design was an exposed heart. My own little twist inspired by a real life issue some turtles deal with as well as a fitting ode to the artist she is named after, Frida Kahlo, who often drew herself with her heart floating outside of her body. (And yes I made the creative decision to keep her heart at her center as with many turtles.)

This deformity occurred during her mutation where the sudden growth spurt tore open a hole at the seam of her plastron. She has survived as long as she has because of Big Mama who uses mystic wards to keep her heart physically safe and emotionally numb. If you look closely to her plastron in the show it’s not actually a natural body part but rather seems to be an attachment of her trench coat. Likely a false cover to hide her obvious weak spot (or at least that is my head canon!)

I love the idea of her and Donnie having something they can relate to and I’m sure he’ll be happy to design chest armor for her down the line once she’s free of Big Mama. Maybe someday I’ll figure out her full Mad Dogs outfit, but for now this is just her base and bandana.

As each of the boys embodies a shape, I found it all too fitting to have Frida’s be a heart. It’s honestly a cool shape that uses both rounded forms and sharp points, which I think would encapsulate her character well. Prickly on the surface but a softy deep down. I tried to find less typical ways of feminizing her. Sharpening her beak and digits while retaining the style of feminine eyes present in most of the female cast but matching it more closely to the unsettling shape of the eyes on her assistant’s mask.

Her markings are a color flip of Mikey’s, where as his are yellow spots with orange outlines hers are orange with yellow outlines. Coupled with her yellow eyes to match Donnie and Raph, it gives her this fiery vibe that I think still sets her far apart from Mikey.

The mask was honestly the hardest part. I love that it further accentuates her heart motif and made her more expressive, but just giving her the obvious bow and calling it a day did not sit well with me. I decided to try more of a high ponytail look, but I think it still needs some work. I’m pretty sure I like her with yellow though, both as a nod to Jennika and the idea of April giving her something of her own to help form the bond between the two.

Would love to flesh her out further but back to my usual stuff first.

Today I offer @naometry and I's BM Joker. He's a teeny tiny bit murdery, but that's okay.

He can have some murder, as a treat <3

[arttsuka]

Alastor would kiss him and he would fucking die.

Slight tw/cw for a heart (basically I edited a 'real' heart I found online because I couldn't draw it). It's not that bad I promise, but just in case I'm putting it under the cut.

whenever killer is in stage 4, I think his soul should beat and pulse exactly like a human heart

Old sketch I did for the @greedislandchallenge server, as usual.

It's a scene from the HisoIllu fic An Open Secret by Kurenai_Tenka on Ao3. Very dark, but very beautiful. Please read the tags carefully if you check it out.

Hi! I have no idea if your okay with random requests but I just have some Sanders Sides ideas that I think would look adorable in art form. The ships are Prinxiety, Mociet and Intrulogical.

Prinxiety: bat Virgil. This has two different flavours; Virgil having bat wings he likes to wrap around Roman during cuddle sessions all protective like or Virgil in a tiny bat form just hiding in Roman's shirt, just his head poking out looking at Roman as the prince just stares in absolute awe.

Mociet: Patton and Janus just making breakfast together, no huss no fuss, one's cooking eggs and bacon while the other makes sets out the drinks or makes some toast or something. Basically just domestic Mociet. Either that or Janus being a flirty little mischif while dressed like a goth Lady Dimitrescu (with the hight to match) and Patton being flustard as hell, you choose.

Intrulogical: I love the idea of Remus making Logan gifts hidden inside organs Logan can dissect. Like Remus just gives Logan a deer heart to dissect and when Logan does he finds a book shaped locket with both their pictures or some heartfelt message. Feel free to draw the aftermath if your not comfortable drawing a dissected heart.

It's fine if you don't wanna do this, I just feel like it's be adorable and your art is great!

okay i absolutely love all of these but oh my STARS THE INTRULOGICAL ONE

(btw the note says “you have my heart <3 have fun with your nerd shit. -R”)

A bleeding heart of a man.

did a redraw of a past piece from about a month ago, mostly because I’m rewatching Dresrossa and Cora deserved to be taller than I drew him before. Also I’ve been working on heart anatomy and wanted to fix up on it. Anyway, the other piece is here for those who want to see :)

I decided to do a three-minute challenge: use a wheel, pick a sans, look up their design, look at it for a few seconds, and try to draw them in that time. Here's how it went!

Round 1

Round 2

It actually wasn't so bad; I may do it where I have to look at the design for a few seconds and cannot look back at it again till I'm done. dunno. It was fun! (edit: oh also not all of the designs are canon compliant. For example, i gave outer sans star freckles and a swirly skull cause i thought it fit lol)

(edit 2: oh my god i forgot the credits! whoops!!

(demi sans by crudaka, nightmare & dream by @jokublog, outer by 2mi27, geno by @loverofpiggies, dance by teandstars and sterrenschijnse, epic by @yugogeer012, horror by sourapplestudios, mafia by nyublackneko, reaper by renrink, omega by tratserenoyreve)

Here's the wheel I used:

(( ghghgjgngn- I'm stealing that- ))

[rusty-gloinks]

practicing silly designs

[jdstrations]

Had another go at doing a sorta poster-esqe design

This time inspired by the IF Blood Choke by @blood-choke , since it's a very visceral read I felt I had to do something up to par with that

All that was going though my head making this was "squish heart" and "gradient map with lesbian flag"
