Hello!!! I absolutely *adore* your mer art! It’s some of my favourite on this website!! I was heartbroken to realise you’d been terminated :( oh my god I’m so sorry 😭I hope u can grt ur account back :(

I was wondering if you still had any of your mer!bnha art lying around? I really miss it :( is it ok if i request it to be reuploaded? I read from an earlier ask answer that that was ok, but it’s totally fine if u cant find it or dont have the energy to <3

getting my old tumblr back is sadly not gonna happen u_u they never even answer my question as to why and it's been too long now...

but anyway! mer art! they're still around, they're almost all on my twitter (and patreon) here have a buncha links:

1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10 - 11 - 12 - 13 - 14 + fic!!

and as if that wasn't enough, since I stopped posting new art on twitter there's three new ones on bsky: EraserMic, AmaKiri, and KiriBakuDeku

[syb-la-tortue]

You posted a teeth tutorial on your old blog an i would come back to it all the time but can’t find it anymore for some reason :,0 could you post it again maybe ?

oh man that thing is ancient hahaha I kind of cringe looking at it now because it's definitely not perfect but I suppose it wouldn't hurt to pull it out again

[syb-la-tortue]

AHHH I GOT IT!!!!

SYB THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!!!!

aw yay!! that makes me happy to hear! and I'm so glad you like it 🥺

I would love to know, what is your favorite month?

[syb-la-tortue]

Hi Syb! I plan on ordering your calendar first thing tomorrow, but first I wanted to ask if there was extremely graphic nsfw in it? I love all your art but I would much rather know now than have to explain to my mum why there were characters on my calendar doing “stuff”😭 No offence to you btw🫶 love all your art it’s incredible

absolutely fair question!! but don't you worry, there's nothing graphic in there.

it IS very fanservicey though, like we're talking about a bunch of pretty anime boys wearing not that much clothing after all, so many boy-nipples are very much visible on pretty much every page. I think the most explicit page is February and look, I might as well show to give an accurate idea of what I'm talking about

whether that's too explicit or not to hang on a wall, thank you so much for even considering buying my calendar! <3

☀️ A CALENDAR FULL OF BEAUTIFUL GODS OF NATURE

I don't know if anyone is gonna see this here but I did a thing!

a 12 months calendar for the year 2025 with 12 black & white illustrations under the theme of my Nature Gods AU enhanced with gold and silver foil~ it looks pretty good if I do say so myself

SHOP IS OPEN until stocks run out~

[syb-la-tortue]

do you think you could draw more stuff centered on feet or hands?

holding hands, kissing feet, a gentle touch, footjob, caressing faces, foot massage, etc.

I certainly could, it's the kind of tenderness I love drawing! especially hands, but there's room for feetsies too ;p

[syb-la-tortue]

Hi Syb! Just wanted to say I’ve always enjoyed how you color and render your art ❤️ Also, which one of your drawings is your favorite? Do you have one that you particularly liked working on?

thank you! <3 it's really hard for me to pick a favorite, it changes all the time when I'm happy with a new piece, like I'm thinking of my latest KiriDeku tattoo artist AU and some Deku-sensei arts I posted on patreon last month haha

but also this KiriBaku piece comes to mind, so I guess it's up there! it's very much my brand of tenderness that is also sexy and has pretty light

[syb-la-tortue]

I love the way you draw feet and hands! Which do u have a harder time drawing?

aw thanx!! feet are definitely a little bit more challenging, especially when drawing them from a more unusual angle. with hand at least it's easier to just look at them in a mirror to have the exact reference you need, but it can be a bit more complicated with feet

[syb-la-tortue]

Hi! Hope you’ve had an ok week:) I just wanted to ask how you get so many arts done so quickly? You’ve been posting your art for over a decade so you must get burnout right?😭

Btw I love your art with every piece of my soul

hello! it's been a bit up and down in the last few weeks but mostly ok, thank you for asking :3

it's funny to me that you see me as putting out art quickly, because I don't feel I've drawn a lot recently, but I always feel like that when I don't draw for like a week or two, but that's not very long in the grand scheme of things (like you said over a decade) I wouldn't say I get burnout, but I do get little art slumps here and there, where the inspiration just isn't there, and really the best way out of them is just to wait it out, because the itch to draw always comes back sooner or later and trying to force myself to draw rarely helps, because then I might just make something I'm not super satisfied with and it'll only prolong the slump u_u

[syb-la-tortue]

What do you think of Shinsou x Kiri?

oh I am into most rare pairs that include Kiri haha I think these two would be interesting together, in a opposites attract kind of way? would love seeing more of them as a pair

[syb-la-tortue]

You probably get asked this a lot, but do you have art tutorials on how you do your coloring/shading? Your style is to die for omg

not really, definitely not anything recent! I used to have a few tutorials (on my old blog) on how I color certain details or achieve certain effects but nothing that explains the whole process... mostly because I wouldn't know how to explain ^^;;; and I use a few completely different processes depending on the vibe I'm aiming for and also my level of energy/patience for a given drawing XD

[syb-la-tortue]

How do you think Deku's closest friends/family would react to him suddenly crying? I've been reading a lot of Angst and Hurt/Comfort fanfic and I was curious to see what you'd think.

Personally, I think Ochako would immediately hug him, no questions asked.

Bakugo would guide him to somewhere they would sit down and he'd stick with him.

but like, why is he crying? because Deku suddenly crying is just a thing he does every time he gets an emotion, he's a crybaby that's part of his character, and I say that in the most affectionate way I love that side of him X3

how his friends will react will just depend on why he's crying in the first place so yeah Ochako might hug him, or offer him a tissue, maybe they're sit down and have a talk, we know Todoroki and Iida will offer him food and try to cheer him up Bakugou I see being not very comfortable with other people's tears, so he might nope out of here or say something to make Deku stop crying Kiri being a empathic crier would just cry with him and they'd flood the room u_u

[syb-la-tortue]

Hey Syb, what's your opinion on Kirishima x Mina?

:0 a ship ask! it's been so long! always liked answering those on my old blog~

KiriMina is fine with me, though it's obviously not my fave haha I have unusual headcanons about the ship too that aren't very compatible with what I've seen of the ship in the fandom (or even in later canon lmao), so I don't really seek it out most of the time!

my personal opinion is they'd be more fun as a sort of rival ship, I feel it's something that could happen naturally with the way their personalities clash, how Kiri saw her being so naturally talented while he had to work hard and had all his insecurities, and the way she was teasing him when they started at UA? that's something that could spark a sort of rivalry imo

[syb-la-tortue]

Hello! I could’ve sworn that you’d done some kind of illustration of Bakugo tickling Midoriya, but I checked your Twitter and couldn’t find anything. Perhaps just my inability to find it, but I was wondering if you still had it and would be willing to repost/link it here? It’s one of my favorites that you’ve done!

twitter is hard to search effectively, but it it there! here's the link!

[syb-la-tortue]

Hi! I used to get notifications for your other Tumblr (rest in peace), and I miss your art so much. I'm too broke to afford your Patreon, but I've been watching your Twitter and will do my absolute best to order a calendar whenever it does come out. Even though I haven't seen any of your month god pictures (I still get emails from Patreon about your posts, I just can't see them 😅), I can only imagine how fantastic they are.

aww I'm glad my calendar project caught your attention! I was honestly wondering if it was worth it at all to mention it here on tumblr :0 but I guess it is!

I posted a little sneak peek on twitter and I suppose I can share it here too (there's one extra peek even, shh don't tell twitter)

as an explanation of what this is, I'm making a 2025 calendar with twelve illustrations of the gods from My Nature God Academia AU, but I want it to look *really pretty and fancy* so their jewellery will be stamped with gold foil (or silver, depending on the character)

[syb-la-tortue]

Hello! I've been a fan of your work since forever and you just bring a smile to my face. Have to remind myself that a human made them and not a divine being because they're just so good 💜

I hope this is not rude of me to ask but I took a look around your shop and I noticed that some pieces you did were not available.

Is there a system you go by to choose what goes in the shop and what does not? And do you plan on doing more that just prints?

Again hope this isn't rude.

not rude at all to ask!!

I don't have much of a system to be honest, it's mostly, the pieces that I think would look good on a wall, but I realize that this is very subjective so it's also pieces that people have specifically asked for! I don't take much convincing to add an art to my inprnt and anyone can suggest one!

only restrictions are that inprnt doesn't allow nsfw so those wouldn't be there, and some pieces/doodles are just drawn too small to be printed at all, it's a bad habit of mine u_u

[syb-la-tortue]

hi syb! Just gotta say I love your art so much. strikes so much joy 🥹 I was wondering if you do zines? There's a tdbkdk zine I saw on twitter I'd love to recommend you for! (desolationzine on twt)

hello! thank you! and yes I do zines sometimes, I've been in a good handful of them, and awww it's so flattering that you want to recommend me for one 🥹 it's probably only thanks to sweet people like you that I made it in most of the zines I was in haha
