✨ the Isabeau and Mirabelle makeship campaign has been extended!!! ✨

and in fact... if we sell ~1200 more plushies total... EVERYONE GETS A STICKER

Y'all work has been kicking my ass and I'm real unmotivated to draw 😭 so the sequel to my other comic will probably be a long ways away.

In the meantime, though, have this dumb thing I drew a while ago! Mutant Mayhem Leo meets Rise Leo!! I don't even know haha it's kind of an homage because the new movie is actually what ended up getting me into rottmnt so I thought maybe drawing them might be fun! Maybe if I scrounge up the motivation, I'll draw the other turtles 👀

Bonus:

If you’re MAGA / Racist / A Bigot in general the tmnt would fucking hate you by the way

In all seriousness I drew these because I was feeling sad / pissed of about what’s happening in my community and country right now. As a proud Guatemalan I’m just utterly appalled by anyone in support of families being torn apart.Proud of a lot of people for being loud and for speaking out for those who can’t right now. If any of you are my followers and you see this shit you’re not welcome here and will never be welcome here. Any negative comments will be ignored slash deleted cause you’re not worth the time and space. I hope everyone is staying safe. I’m sorry you have to be afraid right now. Our government have failed us all, some people just refuse to see it.

Deep Blue is 30 years old and was capable of defeating chess grand champions. It could be housed in a single cabinet.

ChatGPT spans untold data centers devouring massive amounts of electricity and it got its ass whipped by an 8 bit gaming console from the 1970s.

I got a special request for this one 🤭

Based off this

Say what you want about AJR, about how their music is horrible or whatever, but no other music artist I’ve listened to has perfectly encapsulated the feeling of “I’m getting older, and I’m scared of growing up wrong”, the weariness of “I’m barely getting started in life and I’m already so tired” as many times these guys have.

“Maybe I turned out fine, maybe I’m still turning out?” - Turning Out

“I wish I was me, whoever that is, I could just be and not give a sh*t. Hey I’ll be whatever makes you a fan, ‘cause I don’t know who the hell I am.” - Maybe Man

“I wanna be big like my plans, so why’m I so tiny, and why’m I so mad? It’s inertia. Guess this is just who I am. I’m stuck on this life, and I’m stuck in these pants.” - Inertia

“I’ve gotta go so much bigger so everybody’s proud of me. Welcome to the Neotheater, won’t everybody take their seats? And I’ll be next up forever, ‘cause I don’t know what’s coming next. I know I gotta grow up sometime, but I don’t think I’m ready yet.” - Next Up Forever

“If only I could keep you in my pocket…to give me some diagnosis of why I’m so hollow. Please give me instructions I promise I’ll follow. I tripped on my ankle and fractured my elbow, but doesn’t that mean that the tour’s gonna sell though? I try to explain the good faith that’s been wasted, but after an hour it sounds like complaining. Wait don’t go away can I lie here forever, you say that I’m better, why don’t I feel better? The universe works in mysterious ways, but I’m starting to think it ain’t working for me. Doctor, should I be good, should I be good this year?” - Karma

These are just my favorite examples.

BRO ORBIT IS SO PRETTY TO DRAW! And for all our stay here the soundtrack will be THIS ONE

nah chill fam, he's just doing their annual yeeting into the sun. he'll be back freshly reborn in a while

Prepare yourself, cause we will stay here a while. Not too long but- let's say these 2 have quite a couple of things to say

also brooo coloring every character is so weird but so cool at the same time. Like LOOK AT THEM FULL COLOR HD!

Lastly, the sky kid appearance of this chapter is... me! that's right, it took 850 panels for me to grow the guts to put MY own skykid in MY own story

Next part is coming on June 22nd, 1PM ET

PREV / ALL / FIRST /(ISAT Sky: Cotl!AU!)

I'm finally done! This took way longer than I wanted it to for such a simple color palette, but I'm happy with the turnout, although I couldn't decide which version to go with, so you all get both! d( > _・ )

Reference was loosely used but only really for the shapes of the bg and not for the character poses or anything.

progress pics below: fun fact, most of my drawings start as doodles on sticky notes

[kestrel-bee]

someone's definitely drawn this already because this is literally how it ended

[kestrel-bee]

“I’m just not used to it.”

[kestrel-bee]
