It's been years since I used to frequently draw pixel pagedolls like this, but I decided it would be worth trying again. Actually, back in 2018 and 2019 I drew a lot of these, so I feel comparatively out of practice! But here is a pagedoll of the Third One that I drew for a bit of fun.

Okay, see, the thing about your story ending on a negative/dystopian/'despite everything that's happened nothing has changed in society' note and doing so successfully? It needs to have been set up for that in the first place, and it needs to be done in an intentional manner.
I have nothing against works that reinforce how cruel/meaningless/pointless/etc. the world is -- I enjoy a fair few! -- but the works themselves need to be some sort of commentary about it; the plot might be demonstrative of the futility of everything, but the story never should. It should take that and build on it and use it to make a statement, underscore a point, etc. to its readers. Having everything carry on business-as-usual without acknowledging it, especially in a genre that's generally meant to conclude on optimistic, uplifting, and hopeful notes, comes off as callous and in direct opposition with the values it extols.
Plus, the story itself should never be futile because, then, well, it never mattered as a work and it makes no difference if you've read it or not. Which... that's just a badly written story lmao.

Knowing how wacky TMNT animated shows have been over the years, it makes you wonder why no one has never tried to do that whole "April is a living drawing" storyline from the original comics.

thinking today about some old internet friends i lost contact with. i saw one of them in the wild and they seemed to be doing fine! we talked a bit, swapped switch ids and that was it, but i was glad to talk to her. i know another one is making music (i encouraged them back in the day when they were releasing their first songs!) and I'm glad they still are pursuing their passion. the last one i lost track of - all I know by what I've been told is they moved to discord and afaik still were in contact with music friend at least until 2020?
idk it's strange to think about people you once knew, like do they remember you as much as you remember them?
