OKAY SO I got the amazing little 3D print I ordered in today, and it came with TWO BONUS CAITHES!!!!! TWO BONUS CAITHES!!! TWO (2) OF THEM!!!! That was literally like.. the nicest and most wonderful surprise ever!!<3<3 (especially for me omg...). I'm keeping one out on display and the other one is kept in a protective bubble wrap prison in case anything unthinkable should happen to the other one (these are very delicate! and they're SO DETAILED. I love them!!!) Gonna put the original purchase under the "read more" for Gw2 SoTo spoiler reasons

PEITHA HAS COME HOME!!!! SHE LOOKS SO GOOD!!!! I love her sword too omg... 3D printing was like, perfectly made for detailed game figures I swear. These are so good, and they arrived in such carefully cushioned packaging bc they are fairly delicate (but Peitha is surprisingly hardy for a little figure!). I also adore the action pose too! I love her so much! ;v; <3 My wife came home and brought my other wife with her!! (twice!). Now all I need is for the bigger official figure to arrive sometime next year, and the whole gang will be here uwu. Also bonus Lady Maria and an extra bonus wife group pic!

Did or does anything inspire your art? It’s so fun and unique

I do have artists (both Established and like Peers/Mutuals) I enjoy and I do pluck traits from art I like as I see fit to mold my own but I don't have any conscious inspiration ykwim...ive had ppl tell me my art looks like or reminds them of things i like, whether "vibe based" (stuffed animals) or a specific media (care bears) but i dont consciously draw inspiration from care bears ykwim... I could tell u i loved archie comics as a kid and i love the art style but thats not a good answer to the question bc it doesnt present itself in my work (and if it does its not on purpose) ykwim...i hope dis makes sense.

I always bring up Urasawa when this question comes up, like I love urasawa's art and often save lots of it for inspiration but my work doesnt really ever come out as an emulation of his as a result, it's more osmosed as I try to figure out how I want to draw, bc I haven't seen anyone who draws the way I'd like to yet. (Also using him as an example, as this is how I feel about all my other "inspirations").

Theres tons of different ways to draw every possible trait of a face or body etc, so I just do that, taking shapes and such from other artists i observe along the way without really picking up the influence (and if i do its never for very long), since I've yet to find anything im very happy with

Can we all agree that Raphie needs a mother figure the most?

Why would he need a mom when there's a perfectly good Leo right there?? Basically the same thing

Jokes aside, yeah most continuities I can agree. The one that needs an extra parental figure most is usually Raph. Though I believe all of them would've had a higher quality life/childhood if they had a mother. Mikey, Donnie, and Raph would be such momma's boys, and I think that would be so sweet.

But context and character dynamics are important, it really only works in theory. So most likely a continuity with a healthy relationship between Yoshi/Tang Shen and they got mutated together or they stay together after only one gets mutated. All things considered a single mom wouldn't fare much better then just Splinter. But a Splinter that falls in love after mutation could work well too. An unhealthy/toxic dynamic wouldn't help in the slightest.

April often "sort of" fills the mom role, mom role adjacent like older sister or loving Aunt, and is usually the best at nurturing Donnie more then anyone else. Casey is often helpful giving Raph a mirror and helping him regulate his temper, but he's not much a parental figure and usually an honorary turtle sibling. Plus the lesson is usually Raph teaching an adult to control themselves which isn't fair to Raph who is always a child. They all need one-on-one time with a parental figure that isn't meant to further their ninjutsu.

2003 Splinter is exempt, he's not perfect but the literal "has always been a rat, never human" Dad is the only one that regularly just hangs out with his kids and watches them play games or just watches movies/tv with them for fun. And if his kiddos are in danger he's absolutely right there trying to protect them.

People need to practice minding their own damn business

Don't come into people's inboxes giving unsolicited advice or criticizing their personal stuff. Don't reblog somebody's posts saying how much you hate it and their opinions.

Don't like somebody's characterisation, AUs or the kind of art they post? It might even annoy you?

Okay, cool. Go make your own post. Block them. Be a little hater about it to your friends. It's good for your soul!

But don't be goddamn rude to people. Don't make it their problem.

"I don't like what this artist likes mah mah mah"

Here's a wild idea;

Artists...don't need to cater to you. You are not entitles to their work. Nobody on the internet should coddle you and post only stuff you like.

Shocker, I know.

every time someone likes or reblogs an old art post of mine from like 2 years ago i get perilously closer to purging all my older art from this account

Hello! So, your fics (specifically Obake Itoko and (Not So) Hated By Life Itself) inspired me to begin writing a similar fic (pre-brain-damage Obake getting sent forward in time to be a part of Big Hero 6 shenanigans). However, I am weird about posting a fic that was inspired by someone else’s fic.. so I was wondering if that’s ok? Thanks!

Sorry for not answering earlier, but yes please I want to see more Obake content!

(real talk, been camping out AO3 waiting for you to start posting I have been very intrigued by what you've been sharing on Tumblr :D)

[real talk two...thank you I'm happy you liked my fics enough to get inspired by them :D]

So I've been wondering for at least a year if I might be polyamorous, and today on my birthday my queue dredged up two posts that mention polyamory. Perhaps 'tis a sign

What kind of references do you provide for your kendis commissions? They always came out so well!

Everything under the sun!

In short: Picrews/meikers, the pinboard/moodboards, and the fc. And any other detail they might desire.

The first gives a look (as well as the fc) and the second gives hints on personality.

Then we work from there. I usually ask friend's who know the character second opinion -- like ask them to read over summaries I write about description on character's (not just Kendis') appearances/expressions/style etc, to ensure I didn't miss anything and if what I wrote was clear. Sometimes, they also help my indecisive self pick things when the artists gives me options.

I also think knowing the character helps. I feel I have a clearer vision for Kendis (and I probably would if I did an Andy one) commissions becausee their personality and style is [USUALLY, lmao] clear to me -- but even if you don't have years on your IC (like I would with them), fiddling with their look and personality helps a LOT and helps guide you. Like for example for my Lala request their look was clearer for me vs my Xhyera request where I know her personality/demeanor better than her style.

And dont be afraid to put a lot of detail! And to say what you do or don't (nicely please!!) like during the sketch part. It is rare that I have found an artist that did not give me a part of their process where I can state what I wanted to change -- actually I don't believe I have; even when I'm not part of the process step by step (mostly), they always ask me my input at some point.

Also below, here is a summary of what I sent for a joint commission I've had done. Hope it helps!:
