Ashe posted a storyboard and everyone I know was going feral. I blacked out and came to with this so i guess i'm going feral too

Hey new fandom, I hate dark drawings

Recently got into LMK so you know what that means-

Redrawing screenshots of Ninjago in the LMK Style!

Lego-themed Discord server (includes Ninjago & LMK)

Tumblr for some reason hates my transparent images so you get a random blue background version too. There's tons of Monkie Kid and Ninjago discord servers but what if i wanna talk about BOTH !! so uh i ended up making a server for it myself. (it also includes chats and roles for other lego shows/media, including Dreamzzz, Chima, Lego Movies, Bionicle, and Nexo Knights, along with a Misc Lego chat for any ones i didn't include) The art above is the current icon for the server :D Redson and Lloyd you DON'T need to be an artist to join! theres art chats but there's also chats just to talk about lego in! its not very big yet but it could be :333

(the server is like PG-13, so don't be TOO weird in it ok thanks)

NOT SURE HOW WELL THIS WILL DO BUT UHH I like it and would actually like to start posting somewhat regularly,, not sure if this is REALLY my personal design of Lloyd but hey at least he’s got teef :D

Also this is my first time trying to actually draw in a semi lego style and I’m very happy with myself!!

Might try a more human design next time !!

He Makes Me Shine Like Diamonds~💗

So I was inspired by @rebeltigera Blind!Macaque design, so why not draw da pretty boy?? I was also inspired by the song :

[Young and Beautiful - by Lana del Rey]

Tbh it took me a while to figure out a scenario/background, bc I suck drawing backgrounds✋😭

But here's how it turned out :D

Honestly this is my first time drawing a anthropomorphic monkey without being in Lego style (idk if I worded right :/)

Creator Spotlight: @min-play​

I’m Min! I’m an animator and storyboard  rti t who also posts comics and fan art online. So far, I have worked on the Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and LEGO Monkie Kid. I run on AAA batteries.

Check out our interview with Min below!

How did you get your start in animation and storyboarding?

Fanart! My hyperfixations kept me drawing and posting online since I was around 16. Later I dropped my Computer Science degree to study animation. After graduating, I worked as an In-between Animator, Key Animator, and Storyboard Artist. My fanart of a couple funny skeletons played a big role in getting hired.

What do you wish you knew when you first started out creating content that you know now?

It’s ok to make mistakes. All the flaws in a drawing make it look much more interesting. Also, it’s a lot more fun than spending ages perfecting one line.

Have you ever had an art block? If so, how did you overcome it?

I always get 3 different flavors of art block (that I remember):

Art block from perfectionism

Sometimes there’s this self-enforced pressure that what you make has to be of a certain standard. Gotta loosen up and forgive yourself for not meeting an imaginary quality. Do it for the fun of it. Instead of thinking’ needs to be better,’ think ‘eh good enough lol.’ It’s cool to strive for improvement! Just don’t do it to the point it becomes self-deprecating.

Art block from burnout

Art hibernation! It’s ok to take breaks. Not every waking moment needs to be productive. Treat yourself to something yummy, hang out with people you’re comfortable with, or pick up a new anime series. Take the time to get some well-deserved rest.

Art block while drawing as a full-time job

WELL DANG.

Switch your ‘drive.’ If you’re running off on passion or interest as a motivator for work, that’s great! I do too! But also, it’s finicky. Set up routines for when that high runs out. I have a ‘Do task’ mode where I play a song or a movie I already watched on loop in the background (sometimes for weeks on end). I don’t know why but it helps me concentrate. Last week, it was the movie Cars.

These are personal methods and may not work for everyone, but I hope it helps!

What are 3 things you can’t live without as a creator?

Music + Noise-canceling headphones + Big blanket = Comfort force field

What is a medium that you have always been intrigued by but would never use yourself?

Does blacksmithing count as a medium? I’d like to try it out at least once, though.

How do you want to evolve as a creator?

To connect with other creators more. Especially writers. They are so powerful.

Warm tones or cool tones?

Cool tones! Especially this one particular blend of blue and green.

Who on Tumblr inspires you and why?

So maaaanyy. At the top of my head, though: @northpen​. I am obsessed with their vivid-imagery writing style, and immaculate characterizations. Their character banters always have me in a gigglefit. They have this fic I binged in one sitting and left me crying and empty in a good way.

Thank you for such amazing answers, Min! You can check out more of Min’s creations over at @min-play​!

i only found tumblr about a year ago

i was absolutely devastated in the wake of plan 99. tech was my favorite. tech still is my favorite. i was dejected for longer than i probably should have been. i was googling fan theories about what happened to tech and seeing if people thought he was really dead

in my searching, found a piece of bad batch fan art. i scrolled through the page, until i got a popup that told me to log into tumblr for more. and here i am.

and i found this AMAZING fandom. so MANY fandoms! tumblr is our little corner of the internet. i really wish i had some talent to share, but i am mostly a consumer here, appreciating the unbridled talent of all you artists

i love so much that i have found "my people" here. those of you who are like me, silly and dorky and obsessive and wild and passionate about the clones (or star wars in general, or harry potter, or marvel, or anime or games or anything!)

thank you to anyone and everyone who has been brave enough to put themselves out here for us to enjoy your work!

as we approach the end of the line, just a few shout outs to bloggers who particularly stand out to me when im thinking of the bad batch fandom.

@shyranno it was your art that led me to tumblr!

@zoeykallus you wrote one of the first spicy clone head cannons i ever came across (pretty sure it was where tbb likes to finish haha) but all your fan fics are amazing!

@ventresses your memes make me scream laugh every time. i dont know how you do it

@alligatorpie1945 i love your tbb au drawings, esp the one where they are on a roadtrip and the car has broken down

@ladykagewaki your art is so heartwarming. i adore your artistic style. ms fangirl is so relatable and the baby batch is too adorable to be allowed.

@isthereanechoinhere96 thanks for not getting annoyed when i tag you in posts you have already reblogged 🤣 i love your lego comics! soo cute!

i know im forgetting people but i love you all! just because our show is ending doesnt mean this fandom will! ❤️

two more hours....

[anxiescape]

Heyo, sorry I haven't been posting much lately. I haven't had any time (or motivation honestly 😖) to write or draw, but then I remembered that I have sketchbooks full of doodles, so maybe I can share those???

Here's a handful of Shadowpeach doodles, I'll try and post more in a few days!

Here's the first time I drew these dorks. I hadn't figured out Wukong's fur color quite yet, so he's kinda orange. 😅 (also this was one of those "draw the squad" poses)

This is just a little doodle for a Shadowpeach fic that @amalgamorph and I have been working on. I wanted to design Macaque and Wukong's wedding rings. 👉👈

This was one of my first attempts at writing a Shadowpeach fic, because I love ballet and I dunno, y'know??? But I couldn't figure out how to, like, write dancing, so I gave up. I'd love to make it into a comic instead, but I've gotta get better at drawing comics first. (The basic gist is Macaque does ballet to keep in shape, and Wukong finds out and wants Macaque to teach him.)

And lastly, this was based off of some TIFU post I saw on Reddit where someone insulted their spouse and I thought it was really funny. I don't really remember, it was over a year ago now. 😅

Anyway, there you go! I struggle to share WIPs and sketches (thank you, my perfectionist brain), but I'm trying to teach myself that it's okay to share unfinished art. Not everything has to be a masterpiece.

Up next, I think I'll share some character designs I was working on. Mainly, I was trying to figure out the LEGO Monkie Kid crew in my own style. 😩

Compketely off-topic stuf but god dammit another lego thing has entered the brain

First time drawing in the (sorta) style !! Wahoo!!

[manonim]

It’s 17.07… you know what it means?

Jie’s birthday !

This day, one year ago was the first time I created my very first LMK oc, which is also the very first oc I showed on social media. It’s hard to explain but just as the show Jie became somehow a part of my life, she’s living in my head and I like to improve her whenever I’m bored or when I’m having a bad time. The part of my brain in which LMK and Jie are is now my comfort place. I also wanted to thank you all for accepting my oc and me into the fandom, it really means a lot to me, I love you all ❤️

And now something funny- all the designs Jie had till now!

This is the first one, which I draw on 17.07.2023

The design was so lazy but I’m pretty sure I wanted to just create the image from my head. I now realised that the only thing Jie has since the first design is the Jade necklace. Btw, she was supposed to be a fox demon since the start, this is the picture of her human disguise.

Yes, that’s my drawing. I remember how randomly this one turned out. I realised that I’m not a fan of cold colours so I change Jie’s colour palette but for a long time I didn’t even think about drawing her as Lego. Fun fact!- this one was supposed to be an image of Jie for my fan fiction on Wattpad.

Idk why but I tried drawing her with dark red hair for a while, but soon it turned out to be just a phase.

This one stayed with me for pretty long but I thought her design was too boring

Honestly this would be Jie’s design if only my mind didn’t tell me ‘Hey, now both her and Sun Wukong looks like MK’s parents!’ And since I didn’t want to ship my oc with Monkey King I changed it once again but with heavy heart (the one on the right was supposed to be my fanfic cover 😭 Also the first time I tried the Lego style.

And finally… on 06.09. 2023….

My girl got her first official design. I used Wukong’s colour palette but I got tired of it so I changed her design once again and that’s how you got the current one:

Pretty sure this one will not stay forever though ���
