Leon's on it!

I think I should've stuck with my initial thought and invert the colors for the pants so the black's on the outer side...

Smish

[trilobitepunch]

Miguel's turn!

And some moody boy.

Playing around with gear/outfit updates for Donnie on that Transformers game... Leg armor inspired by his Decepticon father-figures....

Confrontations: Collateral, Raphael

Suprise! This is one of the Whumptober prompts I managed to fill (which was panic), so Inquisitor lovers rejoice! Thanks as always to the lovely @trilobitepunch for being the absolute best, as always.

The walls of the chamber were shrinking. Which, some dim part of him knew, wasn't physically possible. The dozens of gouged slashes he'd left in the durasteel were more than a testimant to how unflinchingly sturdy and impenetrable they were. And yet, somehow, the walls were shrinking all the same. Pushing down down down, forcing his lungs to heave for air, squashing the capacity to think beneath an ocean of emotion and instinct all shrieking no, no, no!

The tides of panic begged him to scream. Whirlpools of rage demanded that he roar and bite. Maim and rend like an animal to ensure he could never be caged again. To feel the glorious freedom and the spray of hot iron, just like...

Sour bile crawled up his throat as he snarled, his arms coming up to cover his head as though they could hide him from the thoughts that lurked in the current of fear. He couldn't give in. No matter how bad the world spun or his heart tried to rip free from his chest, he had to fight to stay present and sane.

"Its for Donnie," Raph murmured, the well worn mantra following him down as he curled into the smallest ball his armor would allow. "It's for Donnie. It's for Donnie. You got this. You can do this for him. You can to do it for him...."

The walls of the isolation chamber swallowed his words, sealing them away with a million silenced whimpers and cries as a bit more of his sanity crumbled into the rising abyss.

So in one of the RP text games I play Donnie on, he's kinda sorta gotten on the space fae's Wanted list so while Leo's taking part in the Grand Wild Hunt, Dee and Mikey have opted to snoop around a suspicious shipping company for some intel and have to ditch the usual colors and gear. They attempt to pose as the sons of some rich family looking for a fancy gift for their step-mom's birthday but the digital dice were not very cooperative for their performance rolls so no one has taken their very carefully crafted roles very seriously. XD; They still however come off as silly rich teenagers Doing Things so manage to skate by enough to get into the secret areas of the shipping company that I guess happens to be run by space mafia... Also loaded with security drones and golems! So the reasonable thing to do is hack them to give them clearance, right?

...maybe too well. XD; 3 Nat 20s later, Donnie's coming home with some new friends I guess....

As much as Donatello loved his elder brother, there were times where having one as big, strong, and protective as Raphael demanded some significant drawbacks.

"Rescue like a BOSS! "

This moment, limbs bound all the way to his wrists and ankles, ignominiously slung over Raphael's shoulder as blaster bolts peppered the hallway behind them, was one of those times.

"For the last time, this is not a rescue!"

"You're tied up in the middle of a rebellion lair!" Raph exclaimed, shouting to be heard over the sizzle of blaster bolts and the crack of crumbling concrete. "How does this not count?!"

"Firstly, I would hardly deign to call this second-rate hovel a lair. I mean, they barely have a functioning network, and their data scrambler was so pitiful I could have cracked it in my sleep! Secondly, I elected to allow a temporary restriction of my motor faculties to increase the probability our success by seventy percent."

"Ya wha now?"

"Oh my neutrons, I let them tie me up!"

"Well that was stupid! Why'd ya do that?!"

"To lull them into a fake sense of ease in order to illicit greater quantities of quality intelligence of course. Also, three incoming on your six!"

Donnie ducked in close to Raph as blaster bolts sang overhead, wincing as a chunk of rubble slammed into his bound elbows. Raph snarled, the sound echoing menacingly within the restricted confines of the hallway.

"Hang a left. There's a defensible room," Donnie gasped, and Raph followed his direction without further question. Before long the durasteel door was slamming closed behind them, cutting out the chaos as beyond the rebels floundered and failed to coordinate through the virus he'd implanted within their communications array.

"Did you really have ta let them turn you into a sausage?" Raph huffed, gently lowering Donnie to sit against the wall. "You know hand-to-hand Don, I know ya do! I taught ya!"

"It's hard to extract information through a mouthful of broken teeth Raphael," Donnie huffed, fighting back the beginnings of a pout as his big brother pulled out a small vibro blade. "Besides, that would leave no fun for you."

"Awwwww, you thought of me? I'm touched, brainiac."

"Yeah, yeah," he mumbled, then hissed as the ropes snapped away, returning blood flow to his limbs in a shower of pins and needles.

"Easy."

Raph's big hands carefully eased his arms down to his sides, surprisingly deft fingers massaging blood back into his palms and fingers until the tingling stopped.

"It's fine Raph, you don't have to-"

"I want ta Dee. I'm your big brother. Looking out for you is my job. So let me do my job, okay?"

"I… you…could help me up? I do not think my equilibrium is yet up to the task," Donnie acquiesced, smiling ever so slightly as Raph's face brightened.

"You got it buddy! Alright, up we go!"

Another hiss squeaked past his lips as Raph carefully set him on his feet. Dull pain flashed across his lower back, throbbing a low threat that more would come should he attempt to move before his body agreed to.

"Ya good?"

"Mmmmm. Just a minute," he sighed, ignoring the growing shouts beyond the door in favor of leaning into his taller brother's embrace. A greedy part of him drank in the feeling of encompassing warmth, reveling in the elusive sense of safety only Raph could provide. For these stolen moments there was not a power in the cosmos that could harm him. Not with Raph around.

"… getting kinda noisy out there," Raph rumbled eventually, reluctance in every line of his body as he slowly pulled back. "You ready, or do ya need a lil longer?"

"No," he replied, stepping back. He ruthlessness clamped down on the small, childish part of him that wailed yes and shoved it deep into the box within his mind. "I'm ready."

Blood red light painted the room in harsh contrast as two blades hummed to life.

"You take out those at the door. I'll tidy up the loose ends."

I apologize for my awful writing... I don't remember how this scenario came up but I've been wanting to draw it for some time now. I also wanted to include @colibrie 's original text for it! How do these nerds go from goofy to scary in 0 seconds?

[trilobitepunch]

Decided to return to this block printing attempt I started...months ago oops. :D;;

I carved the thing out (I guess I just jumped right into hard mode, I don't know why I do this to myself...) and it was pretty fun. These are the pics from when I first started and made a print test.

Later on I cleaned up some of the extra lines and things that kept coming up when I inked it (ahaha Donnie looks absolutely manic in this).

Ultimately I wanted to put it on a bag and FINALLY tried it today after doing a quick look-up of how to ink the thing since the last time I thought I'd try it, it had been super gloppy. I think I've been wearing the rubber out too every time I cleaned it off, whoops...

But anyway!

It didn't come out too bad? Super light, I think mostly because I did not take into consideration the fabric grain. The last picture is after I touched it up with Copic Multiliners.

Note to self: next time do something with thicker lines. ;;;;

[trilobitepunch]

I love lycoris. I'm hoping one day the ones I'm trying to grow in the backyard will bloom, but so far all I've gotten are the leaves. Which at least is something? Maybe SoCal isn't humid enough, ahaha...

ANYWAY I just wanted an excuse to draw a field of my favorite flower. *stares longingly at Japan*

This scene is totally hypothetical but I mean, who says there can't be fields of space-lycoris somewhere... :}

[trilobitepunch]

lol idk

[trilobitepunch]

Refreshing my memory lol

Why is the Uni-Ball One P so much fun to draw with...

[trilobitepunch]

HAPPY WHUMPOWEEN!

[trilobitepunch]

HEeeeeere it is~! The final week of Inktober/Nihitober prompts!! I actually managed to get through one a day gaaaah now I can roll around and be lazy again.

Just figured I could round off the "Fang" storyline, a lot of these prompts just worked too well...

Day 27: Heavy

I think this one's my favorite.

Day 28: Rot

Day 29: Fall

And they were doing so well...

Day 30: Teeth

Since I think I did plenty of teethy pics I decided to go for something different. Also I thought it was funny that the first thing that comes up on a search for what to give teething children is a cucumber. Which is what kappa supposedly like to eat, idk...

Day 31: Web

Sorry not sorry for this cliffhanger.

Thank you to @colibrie for helping pitch ideas when I got stuck!! X)

Happy Halloween y'all!

[trilobitepunch]

Happy Halloween 🎃

Aw, thanks!! Back at'cha!! :D

Hope it's been a fun one!

[trilobitepunch]

*flails* BELATED HAPPY 20K SOMETHINGSOMETHING @kathaynesart !! When I first dipped my toes into the Tumblz your art caught my eye and your storyline has been a treat! You have such a great balance of drama and humor and everything just flows so nicely. And the details! GAH! Both storywise and graphically! I'd buy this series in print. Replica's definitely been a top fave for me. I look forward to what all comes next!

Here, have my practice sketches- I think they came out better than the actual thing T_T;;;;
