Hello UV! This blog will be inactive a little bit longer until I get used to school & work schedules! Once everything is normalized, I’ll know when I can slot UV updates and posts, but until then, still no updates (sorry)! Everything has been written, it’s just a matter of drawing pages and making chapter art! I learned a lot from the first chapter and hope to do things much differently this time, so bear with me as the style of UV changes yet again through this process. This could also mean updates take longer. For chapter one, it was updated weekly, but chapter two may take longer than a week (both because of school/work and the type of comic pages I want to upload for it). Again, please don’t rush or ask for updates, but feel free to ask for anything else! There may be some refs getting shipped out before UV picks up again, so look for those!

If you’re curious about what I’m doing in general, I’ve been doing some self indulgent & personal art stuff on main! No schedules, no quality restrictions, and slightly more frequent uploads of course :)

How did you call? secret art?

Bunnon, *giggles* a friend helped me

GUYS BUNNON GAVE PERMISSION TO POST !! Celebrate Vince being short, ohhh yeaaahhh!!

Oh and Bunnon, I think I will respond to your recent ask using this one, and I wanted to start by saying I TOO am dense, bunnon, you are fine, it's okay, don't worry ~

Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year! May your next year be filled with good luck and fortune, my anonymous friend! I do celebrate, but you don't have to! Especially if you didn't have time, I certainly wouldn't want to overwork you, don't worry! Even just stopping by was a present for me <3

I said template because I couldn't find the proper way to call it LOL please don't stress about that, I know some tiktoks of similar format, which is where I perceived the reference.. [ example ]

Don't be sad, Bun. I will be here, Vince will be here, and all of the Usagi family will be here when you have time away from the boring adult stuff. We support you, and are here for you, and we will cherish you, always. You're home when you're here, even if for a brief moment, you're home with us.

If you ever want to have a real time conversation-- a conversation not held so long after posting your ask, or through tumblr where your identity may be at risk, you (anyone reading this, really) can always reach out to me and chat on discord. I don't mind being so close to followers and mutuals, if you guys need someone to talk to or vent to or just infodump and share your passions to, I can listen (this is also just where i live online so i will not . accidentally leave your messages unread for days haha). If you don't want me to respond, I won't. If you do, I will, and ohhh you can believe i will talk so much to you if that's what you would like from me !

Conversations.. they're hard.

With you, I feel.. it's a bit easier.

You understand, little Bun, how hard it is to just be open and... I guess because of that, you make it easier for me to try. Thank you for finding my blog, and living this silly character we (somewhat) created together. Thank you for always being so positive and for being so enthusiastic about my work. Thank you, sincerely, for your holiday wishes especially, and I hope you come back soon.

Vesper

Thank you so much, Kanzuu! This is awesome! Shoutout to all the other Usagi AU creators in the post as well! You can find UV's very own Yuichi Usagi left 1 and up 1 from the bottom middle where Kanzuu's Usagi is! Please reblog, like, and follow them for more Usagi content <3

The greatest achievement of my career, 44 hours and a whole month to finish it

I had no idea I needed tall Bunnon to kabedon until today. You cannot play these games with me Bunnon, I am soft inside and have a hopeless, easily flustered soul ... thank you for your drawings, I really enjoyed the format / template / meme thing idk what it's called, it's very good ! I love it.

It's secret art so you guys can't see... (right?) but Bunnon drew Vince & Bunnon in the "You're such a handsome young man, can you give us a big smile?" format. And the rest is up to your imagination : )

Oh, I would have gotten to this sooner, since this ask is a day or two old actually, but ... I've been on some adventures outside of home and I participated in a few whiteboard collabs (yo, we should all do that ngl, it's been p fun) and you know... i drew vin more than i thought i would ever draw him in my life LOL i'm going to make a drive of all the whiteboard stuff i do since there's so many. 6 hours in one board and 5 in another, i didn't draw that much in the second one compared to the first board cause i was making more finished pieces and didnt know what to doodle lol.. but yeah i guess check main acc. for that stuff ? o7

[usagiverse]

Basically : YOKAI AND MUTANT TURTLES ARE MASSIVE !!! Even Raph doesn't fit on the size chart!! Yet somehow Donnie's forehead made it in... lol.

Official Height Ref for Teenage & Adult UV cast! ( + Vincenzo, my turtlesona, since he will be featured in some ooc artwork and asks, and Bunnon. I'm not sure how tall they really are, since they have limb enhancements and can just be any size, but if you look real closely on the bottom left, you can see them...)

[usagiverse]

Vesper-sama!

*sighs* I missed two updates, a Princess Miya post, and a murder meme? *gasp* nononono... wait, wait, am I canonically half the size of your turtle-sona?

And why Kogane?! *growls* and he calls himself an artist… oh sorry, "master craftsman"… master in being a pain in the… I would have quit before starting, tell me he's the one to eliminate.. please?... pretty please?

agh! priorities, priorities, decisions, so much to have an opinion on *rolling on their webs* and you have collabs now... too much to say...

So, I'll just say congratulations on your third update, I loved the shift between emotional and funny (like they stank)… oh! and the plan you have for the time skip sounds great, so congratulations on the collaborations, and I hope many people help you with the coloring for Valor, Devon… ugh… and Kogane…

Happy holidays, Vesper-sama!

Bunnon, Did you know that annons can't send images?...I learned today

Bunnon you're gonna kill me... if you were tall, we'd have a REAL BIG PROBLEM on our hands... Ah, although, I suppose you could be tall if you wanted, since you can just extend your limbs? I reaaaaally like size differences... both ways... but the dynamic changes depending on who is taller... how can I tease you from so far beneath you? i guess I'll just have to take the teasing instead (｡•́‿•̀｡); I don't know how tall Bunnon really is but I was reminded to make a height chart (since I have a hard time staying consistent with heights anyway)

Can't send images ?? oh... that's so sad.. I guess you'll have to use your main account to send images . . . . (or ! make a secondary blog called bunnonymous ! and then you're still anon, but can send images, and I'll still know it's you, hehe)

Happy Holidays! And thank you, Bunnon, I'm glad you like the mood shifts! I wanted to stay in tune with Rise and Chronicles, I think Yojimbo is a little too dark (miyamoto commits genocide against so many anthro warriors PER ISSUE how are there more of them to kill dawg how do they not know to leave my mans alone oh my godd) and yeah I wanted it to be upbeat, a little silly, has some dark themes but shouldn't be overly agonizing, they're kids after all.

I feel the same about Kogane... a real pain in the shell. I'm sure comic artists or artists in general don't usually show the whole text they used to make blabber-mouth characters, but I wanted to show it. I think if you saw everything he said, you'd be even more upset B) and I live for the chaos, you know I have to...

Yes, he's annoying, I hate that stupid little dog man I can't wait for him to be found in a ditch full of Kraang dogs just munching away at his stupid furry face and that the screaming stops after 6 minutes and 25 seconds........... siiiigh if only... (for legal reasons this is a joke . and no UV's OP is NOT TOXIC)

This meme has been circling the discord I'm in a LOT today and you know I had to do it but the only ones who truly fit this dynamic (that came to mind immediately) are outside of canon lol..

[ s ]

[usagiverse]

To @nerishhellish : Thank you for your drawing of Princess Miya, I will hold onto the image forever. I'll preserve your tradition of privately sharing art and ideas but I wanted to post this on my blog and dedicate it to you <3

It becomes a game to Miyamoto, to see what he can get away with teasing Leonardo with. He will use any methods at his disposal just to get a reaction from the katana-wielding turtle. It's very easy...

[usagiverse]

AHSDUAHDSUHA IM SO HAPPY!!! I will expand on their interactions later because it is bedtime. But I'm so happy that you like them!

hi good night

Have a good night, Gelu! I’m also very happy, and I’d love to see more if you get to it later 💙 I’ll even do some art for your AU if I have time, but I must finish the next part of my comic first (episode one is almost over~ I’m so excited)

(I had to leave as soon as I reblogged to pick my relative up so I’m sure you’re well asleep by now, I was waiting to pick up family from the airport so I drew this on my phone— @/nerish in a MOVING CAR lol)

I love my followers, you guys are super creative, fun, inspiring, and motivating! And I love interacting with you guys, and drawing stuff for you, even if it’s the same 6 people who like it, Im happy that I have content that appeals to those 6 people! So thank you for creating stuff for me in the same way. It’s really cool, and very nice of you. Thank you x 100. Now goodnight for real, before Bunnon gets upset that I was up late again….

[usagiverse]

THANK YOU, GELU!! TODAY IS A GOOD DAY!! Analyzing and expanding upon the dynamics starting from the left :

Mizuki scolding Leo (Walker) and Jotaro for stealing, now they have to help her remake the whole batch. (Then they get a reward after, but it's about principle!) And then she hugs them, because she loves kids, even the misbehaved ones, and she feels more connected to them after working ~

Jotaro and Leo (Walker) see the twin Usagis (Shuji and Yuichi) who are fueling up before training. Leo and Jotaro grin menacingly, gearing up for a fight against the older twins. Yuichi is afraid of the children, because why do they look like they want to eat him-- but Shuji, entirely aware and waiting for the day Yuichi finally gets payback for eating his lunch that one time in 8th grade probably, "reassures" that they will be fine (hijinks ensue. Yuichi is 1v2. Shuji is eating and he does NOT care. then he feels left out of the fun and joins in after Yuichi feebly apologizes, and they don't exactly win, it's just a draw). Then they talk about fighting, and the twins give tips to Leo and Jotaro, while taking feedback from the others as well. It's a really nice bonding moment before they all fight again-- for real this time, Shuji not messing around with Yui, and Leo and Jotaro meet a different kind of opponent. The kind of opponent that is better in a pair than on its own, and that in itself, is impressive.

Okay, I would analyze this but I have to say this is my favorite thing ever, I LOVE the way Miyamoto stands between them, and the tension!! I'm not sure if I'd be reading this properly but it looks like Leo is standing in Miya's way, maybe trying to take his food, and Miyamoto being completely unfazed is so in-character !!! He just looks annoyed and wants to go home, but he draws his sword, and now Jotaro is on guard-- but they don't know if they should engage because he looks. so. stoic. and immovable. They are going to need more than delinquent tactics to take him down. Or maybe he was being nice in a not-so-obvious way, and actually brought them food but they don't even know who is. "Who tf are you, bringing food to us ? Is it poisoned? You poisoned it, didn't you?!" Either way, Miyamoto is just towering over them, if he shows any emotion, any intent at all, there will be a fight. I really really like this drawing (that's 2 really's)!!

AND THEN LOOK HE MEETS ALTERNATE UNIVERSE HIM, HE'S SO SHOCKED !! Miyamoto would ask himself everything obviously, but his brain just grinds to a stop when he sees the ring, and then he starts to think of when, or how, who, of course, but also if he ever will embrace his samurai lifestyle, or if he leaves it behind and dishonors his family, or if he disappoints his mother by leaving home if he ever does leave, and he starts to spiral-- but I imagine, peepaw Miya, pulls him back to reality, and says, "It'll happen when it happens, kid. Enjoy life to the fullest the way you want to live it, and you will be happy either way. I will be."

And when baby Miya leaves, peepaw Miya tears up and tells Leo (Hamato) all about it, who is extremely offended that he couldn't have met the baby (good because then he would definitely try to talk his husband into getting a kid/more kids than they already have) but is happy that he got to talk to his younger self in the way he had always wanted to, just to relieve the weight off his chest, in a "Dear Past Self" kind of way. It's very heartwarming.

I love this so much aa thank you again Gelu, for the first ever UV Fan Art, I love my Usagis in your style (and I love your interpretation of their interactions with your characters, especially that Mizuki is scolding them but still hugs them anyway, treated as if they were her kids, I'm sure they both enjoy being around her for her motherly nature even if they get in trouble with her). I will cherish this forever, and love you forever, thank you so so so much, petite limace.

For the awsome @usagiverse!!!! Doodles of their characters and mines!!!!! 💙💙💙💜💜💜❤❤❤

Conversations are hard, but you're doing okay. I feel okay, knowing you can say to me what you wanted to say.

Another Bunnon interaction, I left it private as well, I know you didn't ask but you seemed a little embarrassed, so I think maybe it was more for me than for my account -- and our secrets, Bunnon, remain our secrets.. Speaking of, I am also working on a turtles fan project! ..I'm not sure when I start, but I recently got accepted into a group to work on the ROTTMNT "New Age" (season 3) fan project. Good luck on your secret stuff!

For the time... uh.. I have a weird schedule, I'm sorry if it worries you, I get enough sleep usually. This week has been hard for me to update in particular because I have relatives visiting on their holiday vacation, tomorrow in fact. I've been very busy running errands and cleaning up my place, and I had to schedule a lot of people to do at-home maintenance (deep cleaning, vent repair, new lights, etc.) and haven't had a lot of time to myself, so I stay up much later to get my personal time back. I tend to wake up either slightly before or slightly after noon, and then I go to bed whenever based on how I feel.. usually between 3 - 4 AM, lol.

Ah, we are the same.... are you sure you're not just me??

All of my influences are inspired by anime and nerdy stuff. My facial expressions, at least I thought had a bit of an anime influence, but don't worry, I'm equally as much of a nerd except replace D&D with. . . . . . League Of Legends. Oh yes, Bunnon, I am very much a nerd... To be a LoL player is the highest level of degeneracy known to normiekind, aside from uhhh.. well, illegal stuff and those people who have characters in jars. I read lots of stuff, same as you, but also growing up, I collected Manga for series I liked, even the not so innocent and definitely NSFW ones.. (I brought them to school to read in my downtime during classes haha). I had a big musical phase, you could actually still see all of my old stuff on my main account, where I was not only a big Hamilton fan, but I was also a . . John Hancock fan? He deserved to be in the musical too! I took a random extra from the OG Broadway recording and gave them an identity, and that had been my headcanon ever since. I also was an avid Thomdosia shipper, because Theo deserved a classy, uptown bougie Jefferson to make her day (don't ask how it happened, i literally, do not remember, it was on Amino, that's all I know). Hmm, is there anything else I could say to make you hate me.......

ALL OF THAT TO SAY, NO, I AM NOT DISAPPOINTED! Never be scared of or ashamed of who you are. If people don't like YOU, Bunnon, then you don't need them anyway! You will always find someone who wants you. Everything and all that you are. Thank you for the ask again! I'll try to post more stuff during the actual day, just for you. (─‿‿─) stay tuned...

[usagiverse]

Bunnon claims to be Yuichi's #1 Fan, and that they'll keep him company so that he never has to sleep alone again. I keep trying to do different outfits and color combinations, but I forgot about outfits that actually show off the twins' markings. I did that intentionally so I didn't have to draw the marks in every panel (plus, Yuichi definitely has more than 6 freckles on his face, but it's easier to be consistent than realistic (and realistically, the pages will never get done if i have to properly freckle him)). I also have to keep in mind the size difference... Bunnon... why are you so tiny? I used the group picture as reference and didn't realize you were all the way down there!! I mean, I know you can just stretch to appear taller, but the Usagis really are massive at full size... im kidding, this is not a real question, for I am God and I deem you are shorter than even the shortest Usagi hehe (until i draw the extending limbs that is) Today I learned that Bunnon watches anime.. perhaps even JJK??? Maybe the Lynx is actually Gojo???

They are definitely powerful, but not in that kind of way. They are one of the leading figures of the NNC, which you can tell by the amount of metal plating they wear. This is an internal design choice, it will come up later, but serves a purpose. Only a few of the Neko Ninjas wear multiple pieces of metal armor, this one has 5 pieces (shoulders, knees, and the faceplate) but the metal armor on their face is especially large, much bigger than the usually provided head-piece to upper rank ninjas. It seems to fit their face perfectly, as though molded right on top. I wonder what's under it ? I don't think uncovering their face would be a spoiler, since there is no such thing as a "lynx" character in any version as far as i know (except maybe background or horde fights, no major characters though) but i'm not settled on how I want to do their eyes.. born blind, damage blind, different ways of damage blind, markings if there's minimal damage, etc.. something.. idk yet so no face reveal for now.

Thanks for the ask Bunnon! I left it private, but I still wanted to do something for you. Thank you for your kind words and heartfelt messages, I hope this will be a good start to your day ~ !

ah but I am not actually sure where you are from so maybe it's a good start to your night instead ? I'm actually going to bed now, it's almost 4AM when i post this-

[usagiverse]

Vesper-sama! Hell-o!

I was thinking, the turtles have the turtle pile, and we saw how the twins sleep together... but all usagis have a usagi pile? maybe in winter?

I have questions for the comic too, the ninja who marked Yuichi said "I smell" not see, why?.. and just in the next panel "jolt" ...but maybe is spoiler, so not problem if you can't explain

Btw the draw on fire is better...more dramatical? yes sir is better... and thanks, Yui-san looks cute with the strawberry sticker

Bunnon, I don't have energy or soul in this moment, but missed you and usagis... take care of yourself Vesper-sama

Usagi Pile! That’s right. Please take note of how “beds” are actually more like bean bags ;) It’s flexible, it’s circular, and there’s more surface area the more you put weight on it, so it fits more than it seems. Some have fluffy tops, some are just normal, and others might be fluffy all over— depends on how they like it, I suppose.

The twins grew up mostly alone with just the two of them and have each other’s backs at all times, so there isn’t a night they aren’t sleeping on each other. Yuichi snores the loudest and lays in the weirdest positions, while Shuji manages to sleep through a thunderstorm, so they’re kind of perfect for each other… Yui also knows exactly how to wake Shuji up if he needs a quick response from his brother, so he technically just lets Shuji sleep in. When they start living with Mizuki it causes a small, teeny tiny problem…

When Miyamoto is born, his parents are more than willing to pile. Yuichi joins in and Mizu can’t even protest, he’s related so he deserves it, and still living with them so he might as well. It starts to be more normal to sleep in 4 since Miyamoto is too young to be left alone. Once he’s old enough to have his own bed, they don’t pile as much except for winter or when he has a nightmare. Yuichi, at this point, learned to sleep by himself, so he doesn’t bother Mizu or his brother anymore. He might bother Miya sometimes, in Yuichi fashion. “Ohhh, My Nephew, I can't sleep~!” He would see if Miyamoto was awake. No response? Yuichi just ever so slightly worms himself over to the bed and lays on one end of it. There was a response? Yuichi would bellyflop onto Miya’s bed, which obviously gives Mizuki a heart attack if she heard about it, but it’s funny for the other two. Then they goof off, Yuichi would have done his job for the day, and they either sleep like that or he goes back to his room if Miya requests privacy.

Sorry, that was already so long and there’s still another part to your ask lol..

Dear Bunnon... errmmmm can you see their eyes ? ? I can't ... maybe it's just me but a giant metal plate over the entire half of the head might hinder vision just a little bit ! maybe you see something I don't, though.... or smell... (I drew this on my phone forgive me, my hand wants to rest but I wanted to draw anyway) In all seriousness though, yeah, they might be a little bit blind ! Also note the wording in this panel hmhm

"HAS AN HEIR." It's singular. The Ninja is actually.. unaware of Shuji's presence. Oh, and they're a lynx! Might make them a tag, they're really interesting to draw. I won't tag them by name since that would be a spoiler, but maybe #Lynx or #NNC Lynx or something would work? ionno Andddd, well, I suppose it would be a spoiler, yes... Perhaps there is meaning to this "JOLT" ? Can anyone tell for sure? Anyone know why they seemingly were .. shocked, into leaving the Usagis alone? Hmm.

I miss you too Bunnon, stay safe and take care ! UV and the Usagis will always wait for you and you're always welcome back here.

[usagiverse]

*points with a gun* QUICK!!! Give me (your) characters to draw with my fan interaction of Jotaro.

hi. good night

Lucky for you, I work better under pressure—

proceeds to hand over Shuji and Miyamoto with 0 hesitation

AND DONT BRING THEM BACK. (Actually I do need them on Thursday if possible…..)

Honestly though, draw whoever you want ! All my bunnos are free at your earliest convenience ;) I imagine Shuji being the cool dad who tags along and barely supervises while getting everyone into some chaotic scenarios, as long as you don’t tell mom (mizuki) then what happens outside stays outside.. Miyamoto definitely would trip about peepaw miyamoto and his husband, and ask if he would ever end up like that in a disappointed way but then he’s absolutely amazed while tagging along on their multiversal adventures, like Σ('◉⌓◉’) at the end of the day he is begging to be old and badass like them..

I also think about how peepaw would look at him and say “I feel like I know you…” and Miyamoto would suddenly feel seen by someone, because it’s him but different obviously— just for peepaw to say “are you the little mailboy? do you think you could put a good word in to miss Cynthia across the street to STOP INVITING ME TO HER BLAND COOKOUT???? thanks young man.” He is crushed. (they would all be very silly though)
