if I were to request more Xisuma, what would you sayyyy?
(P.S. saw you redraw one of the mini doodles for the last request - this time, can it be the cleo and X one?)
Well normally i would rush to find a little xisuma to share from part 3 (which is almost done btw >:3), but I remembered that little doodle of cleo hugging x and whipped this up because they are so special to me and I think xisuma should get 100000 comforting hugs
idk coming year 2002 or something directed by Michael Bay to ensure the crash scene has lots of explosions and that turbo's kart is a transformer.
anyways this thing was loads of fun to do, not something I usually make by any means but @/randomalistic's incredible analysis video inspired this piece weeks ago, I had the most vivid image of this Turbo in my mind based on the way they described him and HAD to get it down on paper. I originally was concepting FNaF designs and had some YouTube videos on for background noise but this video had me HOOKED, I opened a blank canvas and here this thing came lmfao.
TW HORROR, EYESTRAIN & BLOOD!!!
wip/alternate pics.
BONUS TEST VRCHAT CLIP SINCE YALL LIKED THE LAST (turbo avi will be release soon btw, i wanna make some twins toggles for him and hue sliders for OCs + fix the visemes. im using face tracking & gestures in this clip so it looks like poop rn) 😭
TW SCREAMING AGAIN!!
okay bye tumblr im so sorry for the wall of text, etc.
I am also in the camp of A+ design choice for AJ, but oh man, if AJ is that big, should I even ask what kind of a giant Big Mac is? (Or are they the same size in your AU here?)
On my personal opinion AJ should be bigger and stronger than big mac, heh. Shes trans on this design, but regardless she was just so determined to protect people she loves that she just got HUGE + the elements of harmony likely helped; i always enjoyed that in equestria girls she had super strengh, i always figured that that shoulda been canon! So on my art its a case of "Even stronger than she looks" heh. sort of a luke cage kinda vibe! Which reminds me, i forgot to give her some bullet scars on her fur, i think that'd fit this badass take of her.
and the list of people she cares about just keeps getting longer...
mentioned it partially in the tags of my post but i'll post it here with a full translation of the original (native speakers, pls come and tell me if i f*cked anything up, i worked this out with the dictionary, Papago, and gallons worth of tears while crawling through every article i could find):
'i don't believe it, i don't want to believe it, but it wasn't until i received the obituary notice that i did. to me, you were more like Dong Hoon [Lee Sun Kyun's character in My Mister] than Sun Kyun. Sun Kyun-ah, Dong Hoon-ah, my little brother, no matter what you did i really believed in you. how painful must it have been? how hard it must have been... i have to go to the hall [literally 식장에 or 'ceremonial hall' - can be used to refer to a wedding hall, but here it's used for where his memorial/funeral services are being held], but it's a little scary. i'm going to go anyway. even if i can't tell you anything later, i'll carry these words with me: i and all of us who know you really, really believe in you.
since you're lying down, now, take it easy and be at peace. stretch out your legs. forget all your heartache, let it fly away and sleep comfortably. rest well, my warm little brother. ♥️'
Fellow comic readers, I got curious about something, so I invoque the power of the poll.
Context:
I've noticed that a lot of people treat comics like they're just some magazine and handle it as such (grabbing it with dirty fingers, flipping through it carelessly, etc.), so I'm very picky when it comes to letting others grab my comic book, but I've always been that person who treats comics (and books in general) pretty carefully, so I want to know what you all think.
Like I get we really had no choice to buy Payless and Walmart shoes when I was growing up bc I was the youngest of three kids and we were impoverished by my medical bills. We learned the hard way when my grandmother dropped sixty dollars for some skechers I liked at the beginning of summer only for me to hit a growth spurt and no longer fit them by the end of summer. But those shitty cheap shoes that began to fall apart after 3 months and had thin fabric insoles from the start had to have contributed to my shitty back and knees. Like I know chronic illness played a bigger part but it can't have helped
Also Vimes Theory Of Boots–because these shoes were disintegrating after a few skant months, we were constantly dropping more and more money to replace them than we would have if we could have just afforded good shoes from the start
Anyway this isn't to shame anyone who is too poor to afford good shoes, esp if you've got a kid or kids who are growing way too fast, but this is why as an adult I scrimp and save and look for sales on good shoes because ow my knees. It's a real shitty system we've got that kids are growing up with chronic pain just because good shoes are too economically inaccessible to families
