HAPPY APRIL 1ST, THIS IS NOT AN APRIL FOOLS JOKE, I LIVED BITCH

getting annoyed trying to draw Maple's costume so I'm taking matters into my own hands and making my own references out of Barbie clothes lol here's a preview

Billy Quizboy for scale cause it's part of a larger OC/Canon AU

[tommytonebender]

been drawing more again because my body doesn't hurt as bad and it's not as taxing as it used to be, but I'm also very rusty and relearning what my limitations are especially with my newly diagnosed neurological issues (I cannot visualize 3D space so I have to use a lot of grids and references) but I am finding joy in making it work for me without being demoralized

[tommytonebender]

was trying to sort out my Venture Bros OC Maple's height without shoes, and yeah, I like it bc the red line is Warriana WITH heels and I want Mae to be tall enough to be as imposing as Brock and simply walk over Billy lmao sorry bud

finally drew a Honey I like to show how most of her height is just hair, but trying to figure out her shoes (1900's lace ups??? tiny kitten heels???) is driving me nuts too so she's also shoe-less rn

BETA APPROVED FINAL EDITS, update as soon as my eyeballs work again :)

Certain Song update is currently held hostage by this storm system giving me too much of a barometric migraine to make sure there's no errors before I post, but like I don't think you'll have to wait till April

So it looks like people were feelin' a longer chapter for Certain Song, and right now the front half is being beta'd while I finish up the back half! Thank you again for your patience. My health is still staying pretty stable :)

[tommytonebender]

the fact that 22 people are wanting a new chapter is so wild to me, I truly apologize for the delay but we're getting there! Please get you vote in if you have a preference <3

got a question for my readers about the new Certain Song:

Do you care if the next chapter is over 9k (which will take longer to complete) or should I split it in half (which will be done within the week but the flashback will be a 3 parter)

was agonizing over what to do and then I realized I could just ask...

[tommytonebender]

lmao you kids are as indecisive as me

oh no I just pressed send on a reply to really nice comment on Certain Song but they deleted it!! If that was you I'm sorry I took so long to reply (I was ill) but it really meant a lot and I wanted you to know :(

[tommytonebender]

ty to everyone being patient with my hiatus! I'm slowly adjusting to treatments for post-viral neurological issues but over the past month have been more productive than most of this year, and the darker cold seasons are much better for my body and mind as it is
