Artwork is not canon to the DILLH fic. Probably.

You should check out the DILLH X EPIC THE MUSICAL CROSSOVERS!! This scene probably fits Odysseus the most.

——————

"For months, I've suffered every punishment and pain

From the wrath of gods and monsters to the screams of comrades slain

I come back and find my palace desecrated, sacked like Troy

Worst of all, I hear you dare to touch my brothers and friends but worst of all you hurt my boy

I have had enough" - Odysseus

Can u tell i love this au yet? Can you??? It lives in my head rent free and making me spontaneously draw things for it.

You can read 'Do I Look Like Him?' here <- (Ao3) by @chil-aglia

I kid u not this was only supposed to be a quick rough sketch of an idea, that id just get out of my head for the fun of it. But i have 0 impulse control and couldnt resist putting more effort into it.

I didnt even have a plan, just threw colors at the canvas until something looked cool xD

Closeups under the cut!

Decided to draw what future Donnie looks like in the DILLH AU

He’s very close to his canon design but I gave him a scar on his cheek and some scars on his fingers.

[shoot-i-messed-up]

Hey I am absolutely in love with your Do I Look Like? fic! It is absolutely phenomenal!

In the latest chapter Jill thought how Hal looks like Martin and I was kinda curious if ever intend on having Jill bring it up or if Hal has ever thought of that himself like before the story or if or when Jill brings it up if that's the first time. I'm just really curious if as Hal transitioned more and started HRT if he noticed how he was looking more and more like his father.

Also really looking forward to Hal having conversations with Ollie and Barry! I really loved that scene were Hal was listening in on Barry and Ollie, and Ollie was like Hal is still Hal. Peak. Lovely work! Looking forward to more chapters!

Hi!! Tysm for ur kind words, they mean a lot to me!

I think DILLH!Hal knows objectively on some level that he looks like Martin, but it’s not something he tries to thinks about—until Jill shows up and kinda forces him to. I’m not sure how to articulate this, but I think Hal has this Image in his head of what Martin looked and acted like (however accurate it may be) before he died. When Hal thinks of Martin, he positions himself as the 11yo he was when Martin died: he thinks of Martin as being a lot taller than him, older ofc, sterner, etc, traits that 11yo Hal obviously would’ve contrasted against and/or lacked. I think one day maybe in his late 20’s, he happened to see a picture of a younger Martin, and he was like “…huh. I look more like him than I thought. That’s wild,” and proceeded to Not Think About It 👍

I think as Hal transitioned in his teenage years, he would’ve thought more about how he looks more like his brothers, and less like his mother, rather than about his dad. What Hal’s real concern is, with his dad, is if he’s turning into him personality-wise, rather than looks-wise—both that he wants to be more like his dad and also that he doesn’t. It’s complicated. Hal feels subconsciously like he doesn’t measure up to Martin, but he also knows intellectually that what Martin did to him is considered child abuse. I think Martin, also, on some level, represents the pinnacle of masculinity to Hal in both a positive and negative way.

Hal will fs have a conversation with Barry in the future! I’m still working out if I can get Ollie to talk to Hal or Hal to him instead of just ignoring the topic, because I think Ollie understands that this is Not Something Hal wants to be talking about, and Ollie is trying to be a leftist ally lmao

WIP!!

Ive taken to drawing TMNT like a fish to water, just LOOK at how cool this is turning out so far?!

Comparing this to my first TMNT art and ive gotten the hang of drawing them so fast. Its crazy.

[cimmerian1275]

Cover for "Do I Look Like Him?" for @chil-aglia's upcoming fic <3

Full uncrunchified png versions can be found here!

Separate versions below the cut.

Some closeups 👀

[cimmerian1275]

Some turtle doodles, and the obligatory "doodle one of my mutuals turtles aswell!" bc i think its A Thing now, and i cant help myself dfhjdfhgdfhds.

@chil-aglia WOOOOOO i get to brag about how i made the first Caden fanart, right? Right??!? >:) took artistic liberties with the stripes, i love drawing the stripes on these guys <3

Also jr in a tree, and pants, im working on drawing fabric stuff...

[cimmerian1275]

@chil-aglia the real motivation behind choosing that design for the panic button/katana holding straps C: + some casual-ish pants.

And a future Raph arm cameo!?

Wanted to see what it looked like with the hood up! Kinda cool, it gives me wanna-be jedi vibes.

...

HAH-

[chil-aglia]

UHHGG, look at what you made me do *squints at you*

I HAVE NO IMPULSE CONTROL.

ITS JUST THE SKETCH, I WAS SKETCHING ☝️☝️☝️ CACKLES.

Messing around with ideas and junk. Thoughts? I didnt rlly have a goal apart from "Caden must look angsty" and thats it haha.

Symbolism!!! the outline of Leos ninpo markings to show the reader that theyre different but still the same, plus i love drawing stuff that glows. It kinda felt empty so he gets Leo's katanas aswell (i kinda wanna dig around my files for the runes on the katanas bc i rlly wanna draw those mmmmmm)

Also pants because it made me laugh, its probably gonna become a running gag with those lmao.

...He genuinely needs an outfit of some kind, but fashion isnt my forte either 😭 those pants r proof.

You…I’m speechless. TAKE MY MONEY (if I had any!)

I’m actually so speechless, it’s so good! I’m frothing at the mouth. YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER AND YOU ARE OFFICIALLY ONE OF MY FAVOURITE MUTALS NOW—

We’re having soft tacos later—

Oh the pants have to be a running gag now. At least every now and then. This dude cannot walk around the apocalypse naked after all—

Def using this as the cover cause it is absolutely gorgeous

[chil-aglia]

I am no animator, but I attempted at small animation (can’t really see it probably rip)

Anyway…I spent hours on this last night cause I wanted to give you guys a lil insight of what DILLH AU (Do I Look Like Him) would I guess be like???

Y’all I’m trying so hard to not just start this AU in fic form rn, cause THIS IS EATING AWAY AT MY BRAIN. But yall are free to send me questions or make fanart/fan animation for this au.

[cimmerian1275]

Apocalypse drip 2.0, someone finally gave him slightly cooler pants heheh @chil-aglia

Probably something he'd wear on a mission?

You mentioned he works with Donnie a bit, so what if he yoinked one of Donnie's old tech braces >:) he can keep notes on that too.

I feel like he really needs something to cover up his shiny bald head, but whenever i try to add something it looks so goofy.

[chil-aglia]

So…I had a vision (video didn’t quite capture it but I think it turned out okay) thank you Epic the musical for giving me ideas for my boys—

So, this kinda relates/corresponds with the latest Bad Things Happen Bingo fic of Mind Rape with Caden.

I had this saved in my drafts for weeks but been too I guess nervous to post it? Cause it looks so bad to me.

But I mean hey, if anyone wants to give this a go on making an art piece or animatic of Epic the musical and DILLH go for it!

This took roughly 3 days because I’ve been staying up to finish this (insomnia gang ✌️)

Anyway, this might be canon or not canon?? To the story, but idk yet

[chil-aglia]

Caden asking the real questions here—

Since Leo is trapped inside his body and they share the body, Caden is now questioning if that makes him a twink, especially after knowing how fruity Leo can be—

This is just for giggles cause this came to me in a vision out of nowhere.

[chil-aglia]

Just a quick little thing I made for DILLH—

I am so obsessed with this AU I made like wow—

Yall are free to make art or animatics of this AU as well

[chil-aglia]

Young Leo and Caden

Based on the trend where it’s like young self talking to future self. But in this case it’s young/present Leo talking to Caden

[chil-aglia]

Caden’s official outfit in story

Art by @cimmerian1275

The cape/hood/cloak can come off as well. The gauntlet can also come off if he wants to take it off as well.

[chil-aglia]

*giggles and runs away*

some of the art belongs to @cimmerian1275 and then some of the art belongs to me!!

Not me searching on CapCut for templates cause I was bored and found this for Caden—
