MORE MTCPT ART LETS GOOOOO!!!
"I'll try posting art once a week," he says after not posting for nearly 2 weeks.
Anyway, MTCPT art dump!!! :D
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I was thinking back to the first chapter in Sanders apartment when despite already eating, chooses to go out with Jock. So, it got me thinking: Sanders enjoys Jock's company a lot (I mean I'd hope so considering he loves the guy) and when he's home alone he'd feel, lonely? like he'd just kinda feel isolated in a way, if you get what I mean? So, I imagine a bit later after they started dating Jock would come around or sleep at his every now and again so, in the mornings when they're sitting at the counter Sanders would just,,, stare. He'd just feel really nice and enjoy his company. Idk I just like thinking about sappy scenarios between characters. I probably didn't need to ramble this much but yk how I am. I love over-explaining my art.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The 9 or so years gap between the original comic and the current version Jock learned to do his tie at some point right? So, I thought Sanders would just get sick of Jock struggling all the time so he just eventually taught him how.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
WHICH LOSER DESPERATELY NEEDS A HUG DUE TO DEEP-SEATED TRUST ISSUES? THE MIDDLE-AGED QUEER MAN, THAT'S RIGHT!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Finally just some random sketches of the silly tax men :D
As always I appreciate the support and love shown for my art and I can't thank you all enough <3

Kill la Kill Merchandise! (Official and Unofficial)
Tumblr media
The pictures I posted the other day of my Kill la Kill collection got me thinking about what I have, where I got it all, and how much everything cost. So, I thought I’d put together a resource that’ll help others (and me!) know what kind of Kill la Kill merchandise is out there.
Warning: This is gonna be long.
Kill la Kill Volume 1 Limited Edition (Blu-ray, DVD, and Soundtrack CD Combo Set)
Tumblr media
What it is: The first volume in the five-volume North American Limited Edition Blu-ray set. It came with the first four episodes on Blu-ray and DVD, the Rearrange & Remix Soundtrack CD from Hiroyuki Sawano, six postcards, and a double-sided poster.
Where I bought: I had an Amazon gift card I wanted to use, so I kinda spent more than I should have buying this from Amazon.
How much it cost: $74.98 - $33.44 gift card amount = $41.54
Shipping and other costs: $3.99
The Kill la Kill Fanbook (and Goodies)
Tumblr media
What it is: A fan tribute book with over 120 contributors, hosted by Jenna Brown. You can read more about the project here.
The Satsuki/Junketsu version of the book (which I actually received by mistake) came with five postcards of art featured in the book, from artists o0-mu-0u, Gashi-gashi, barachan, ojajebushechkiololo11, and o-8. There were also stickers from artofdiana and a Mako dress-up set from insidematthieu.
Where I bought: Directly from Jenna Brown’s store
How much it cost: Because I really ordered the Ryuko/Senketsu version, I got the Satsuki/Junketsu version for $18.50 instead of the $23.50 that it was meant to cost.
Shipping and other costs: $7.00
Kill la Kill Volume 5 Limited Edition (Blu-ray, DVD, and Bonus DVD Combo Set)
Tumblr media
What it is: The fifth volume in the five-volume North American Limited Edition Blu-ray set. It came with episodes 20-24 and the episode 25 OVA on Blu-ray and DVD, the “Kill la Kill Voices” Staff Interviews DVD, two postcards, a Nui card, and a double-sided poster.

I'M BACK WITH MORE MTCPT!!!
I've lost track of time and can't remember the last time I posted mtcpt stuff, it's been nearly two weeks, maybe??
Anyway, I've seen a lot of people discovering the original version of My Two Cents Plus Tax so I wanted to draw their old designs again :D
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sanders, buddy, you're fantastic man but that old haircut....
Anyway, I've had this silly little head cannon that Jock & Sanders have this thing together of sharing and listening to music with each other. So, it was fun to think they've been doing that since the early days of working with each other.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I can't stop putting characters in sweet, nice and relaxed scenarios. I'm a sucker for feel-good stuff, so naturally, I keep putting my favourite characters in these blissful, quiet moments
Tumblr media
There's no particular idea I had when drawing this, I kinda realised I've never drawn or at least not for a while, drawn someone holding a cat. It was fun thinking about how each of them would interact with a cat, I think Jock would be a big fan of cats: I think Jock wasn't close with a lot of people growing up so he'd probably befriend the local street cats.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I NEED YOU ALL TO HEAR ME OUT!! This was a very rushed sketch of an idea I had. Okay okay so the three-legged race chapter is the last chapter of the comic for those of you who don't know, and I was thinking about how it'd end.
To be honest I've got no clue how it'd end, HOWEVER! I'm betting near the end: we'll see Sanders smile. NOW it's VERY unlikely this could happen and this is just me making predictions for the hell of it, but it's just a fun idea I wanted to explore a little. Whether he smiles or it's a different expression, I just think it'd be super hype. AGAIN this is just for fun, I don't know if or entirely think it will befit the story. If it does then great! but this is me messing around for enjoyment :]
Tumblr media
Ending it on a small note: just some random sketches :D
I'm still working on my mini mtcpt project, I've been putting it off for a while (procrastination strikes again!) and my first semester just finished so I've yet to get around to finishing it.
As always I appreciate the support shown to my art, it genuinely means the world to me as a silly teen artist drawing these silly little characters <3

Sanders? you alright?
Getting into your own head aren't ya buddy?
Tumblr media
Something I've noticed in the past couple of pages in chapter 4, Sanders has been tapped out, like he's on auto pilot and not really speaking all that much.
He's gotten caught up in doubts and what those pair of old folks said to them. While it doesn't really get to Jock (due to growing tough skin from dealing with shitty people a lot of his life, discussion for another time though) It really gets to Sanders, he's started going non-verbal and shutting down, maybe even dissociating. This isn't much of a surprise considering how we've seen him deal with situations and emotions like this, when he starts losing a sense of control over himself and his situation he'll start distracting himself. The entirety of chapter 3 we see him do this, focusing on some random wedding to distract himself and attempt to gain some sort of control to avoid dealing with a scary situation.
So, we've seen his struggle with confronting difficult feelings or practically any negative emotion. But thanks to that thing called character development he's getting better! but, not quiet there yet. While he's no longer attempting to avoid the situation all-together he's still struggling to deal with and talk about these negative feelings. He's swayed by his emotions, leads with his heart and such. So, he doesn't think things through on a logical ground as Jock would. I've said it before: they bring out the best of each other.
But when being an emotional person he feels everything very strongly, so, when it comes to any form of negative emotion he really feels it. He's started spiraling and as a way of coping his brain has shut down and gone on auto pilot mode.
It sort of reminded me something I do, I'll be staring at nothing and letting my mind just wonder. Of course, when I'm feeling/or something makes me upset it's amplified and becomes less-so relaxing and more-so spiraling as my mind wonders to bad places. I think that's what's happening with Sanders here, to put it simply: he's freaking the fuck out. And he doesn't know how to deal with it, his brain shuts down, most likely as a defense mechanism.
Eventually, he'll get there. Both Jock and Sanders are learning from one another and constantly improving, growing and changing. I'm just interested to see how it'll play out.

Quick MTCPT animation
Had my last workshop of 2d animation today in my art course so I thought what better to do than a little animation of Jock? >:D
Animation is genuinely so fun, if I had the resources on hand all the time I'd love to do it more often. Unfortunately, laptops and drawing tablets cost an insane amount of money I do not have </3
I had a lot of fun animating Jock, it's awesome to see him in motion, I mean I was the last person I would've thought to do it, but I enjoyed it nonetheless!

They'll win for sure!.......probably....
I've been loving the three-legged, oh sorry, the drag race chapter <3
Tumblr media
With optimism (delusion) and the strength to drag a man, they can win this!

Surprise! More MTCPT art
Someone forgot to pay their beach episode tax!
The idea of a beach episode for My Two Cents Plus Tax amused me (I'm manifesting) + a finished drawing

The beach tax idea then spiralled into another idea of a paranormal tax chapter. And I also love myself some horror :)

Finally, I was watching Titanic and thought Jock and Sanders would both be crying messes everytime they watch that movie, because I'm projecting </3

Headcannon time!!
I've been working on playlists for Sanders and Jock so the idea Sanders would like Lada Gaga happened. I also think it'd be cute if they both shared music with each other, recommending stuff and spending down-time listening to music together :D
I'll probably share the playlists soon, still polishing it and adding stuff.
Anyway, that's all from me. Stay hydrated and take care!!

I had this idea for a few days, it was originally gonna be completed but I'm tired and my ipad is on 3% so no more drawing for today I guess
Anyway I've been thinking more about Jock's tendency to push people away and my brain was all like "Do wholesome Sanders and Jock stuff NOW" and I was like sir yes sir
Anyway sorry for the ramble here's the thing

I drew Sanders as that one cat meme (I couldn't find the image 😭) it was so weird drawing Sanders without a neutral expression

I've got this fun little headcanon that Sanders does drag and has been doing it for well over a decade now, do I think he'd do this in canon? I don't know but it's just a fun idea nonetheless! and of course, I drew him in a Lady Gaga outfit because it'd feel wrong not to.
Most of these sketches were just to familiarise me with the characters again as I lost a bit of energy in the past 2-ish months so I wasn't used to drawing them like I was, I mean considering I used to draw them almost every day it's no surprise I burnt myself out a bit. But it's been a lot of fun drawing these fellas again! :D
