I'm so sorry for youš± I didn't want to stress you out, I was just curious, that's all. I'M SO SORRY. šĀ šĀ šĀ š
I recently posted my latest āThe Brains and The Brawnā comic page the other day. I was feeling really awesome about it and got lots of wonderful feedback! It made me feel very happy, and I was happy to finally bring a new page to you!
Then today I got this as a comment on the page:
And beyond this being just very rude, it made me realize that I really need to have a talk with you guys.
Because this isnāt the first time Iāve gotten something to this effect. It may not always have been this rude, but I have gotten dozens of comments of this nature asking something to the effect of āwhen will we see the next page?ā
To reiterate from a section in another post where I talked about this in brief, I really DO NOT like these kinds of asks/comments. They make me feel stressed and ashamed and pressured, which can create negative feelings around my work and make me less likely to finish them. I get that youāre excited, and thatās cool. But literally no one likes those kinds of comments.
First of all, a big reason why I have not given myself a set schedule for my Rise comics is because I did not want the pressure of a consistent deadline at a time when I donāt know if I can hold a deadline. To be perfectly candid, Iāve been recovering from a frankly very mentally stressful scenario, which I do not want to get into here.
Second of all, my recent slow-down in frequency of comics is because Iāve been trying to get my life back in order and get an in-real-life job. Iād been living overseas for the past 6 years, and coming back to my home country amidst a pandemic while also dealing with the previously mentioned mentally stressful scenario has not been easy. Iām also juggling doing my own projects with doing commissions for people, and I will of course prioritize something that I am actually paid to do.
Iām fine with explaining a little bit about my situation, but not everyone has the means to do so. You donāt know what different people are going through. Myself and other online creatives are often creating content for free, and do not have to answer to someone asking for more content at a pace that may not be reasonable for them. Making comics is hard work! I render everything from the characters to the backgrounds myself, and that takes a lot of time! And that is in between everything going on in my daily life which you donāt see much of because you donāt have any right to!
I make my comics for myself, and I can easily block someone if all they are going to add to my day is some passive aggressive nonsense like this. Unless you are literally paying me through a commission, I do not make art for you. I make it for me.
And because a friend of mine said it so much better, here is a link to some nice guidelines on how to respond to a creative whose work you are excited to see more of without being rude about it.
To repeat, you donāt know what different people are going through. Creatives have lives outside of their online presence. Try to think before you comment and remember that you are talking to a human being, not an art-creating-machine.

Hi, I'm Alessandra, and I've been following you for a few months and as soon as I read your description I was amazed by the fact that you know Japanese (I'm a fan of JAPAN) and I also love comics a lot so I follow your "works" regarding the TMNT. I love that you put passion into what you do in your spare time. I LOVE and RESPECT YOU for this.Your drawings and stories are wonderful, full of feeling, adventure, action, etc. And I love the way you expressed and conveyed them by drawing and writing.
Aawww thank you so much! Iām so happy that you enjoy my work! It means a lot to hear things like this. Iām having a lot of fun making them, but itās nice to know that others are enjoying them as well!
Also, yes! I lived in Japan for roughly 6 years, so Iām pretty knowledgeable about the language/culture!
WOW looks interesting I can't wait !!!!
Sneak preview of a new project in the worksā¦
WOW COOL I WAITING YOUR BEAUTIFUL WORKS!!!!š
Send me an ask with a word, if itās in ANY of my current WIP documents Iāll answer your ask with the sentence (or maybe even the comic panel) that it appears in.
Current WIPs (in order from most developed to least developed):
The Brains and the Brawn (comic)
When the Moon meets the Morning (fantasy au fic)
Family Portrait (mikey-centric comic; outline only so far)
un-named Raph-centric comic/fic
WOW SOOO COOL!!!! YOU?RE AMAZING!!!! š
Here we have it! The āTMNT: Once Humanā lineup!
Iāll be revealing the characters plus character sheets throughout the week (and adding to this as I go). But I havenāt decided on who I should reveal first. So I figured Iād let you all decide! Take this poll and tell me who you want to see first.
dianounais I agree with you very much! I always wished Mikey was more than the prankster of the group and not considered the turtle who has all the looks and characteristics of a classic fun teen. Don't break me guys I like you Mikey that way he's always been my favorite antripomorph animal ... after Usagi Yojimbo. But as you wrote, I always thought that he could be so much more (as if in the future he could become a great teacher like Splinter) and become mature, responsible but keep his positivity and support which helps a lot has to keep his more united and cheerful family. Sorry jade and dianounais I was too long and detailed especially he has to write at this time of the evening eh eh eh. But I hope you both appreciate my sincere opinion. Good night and HAPPY DAY for tomorrow !!!
Ok your Once human au is so so cool, I love the designs and the new weapons AND I love that you made mikey the leader!!! My boy doesnt often get the character development he deserves and is often just the "funny guy" but like hes more than that!!! So thanks for giving him an important role!!! Its really cool!! Also splinter looks like the kind of dad every body wants akdbsjfkejfjj anyway have a nice day!
aahahowaoa!!! Thank youuuuuu! Iām really glad you like them!!!
I have a lot planned for Mikey! I wanted to take other versions of Mikeyās personality and use stuff like their positivity and their moral compass as a driving force for plot! I think that thereās a lot of potential in his character to be leader-like, itās just never used as such.
Similarly with Splinter, I took a lot of the aspects of other iterationsā Splinters and took the parts I like to make my own ultimate dad-Splinter!
Thank you so much and I hope you have a wonderful day, too!
All right. So some of the Rise writers came forwards with information on Rise.Ā
They planned three seasons of build up for that finale.Ā
Normally you get 11-12 weeks for one script. They were told to cut 13 and write four finale episodes with 6 weeks on the clock.Ā
We would have gotten some episodes like:
-Donnie tries to grow a giant pumpkin.
-Ghostbear has a wedding to a new yokai. Raph and Mikey crash it.
-Giant robot dinos that Mikey thinks are cute appear (āboopable snootsā is used).
-Mikey is left the oldest brother when the other three get turned into toddlers.
-The Foot Clan runs a cupcake store.
-Karai remains as some of the main cast for a GOOD while.Ā
And more. You can check Russ Carneyās Twitter for the actual tweets.
If you want to see these. If you liked the show. Please support Rise. Send requests to Netflix for it, search for it in Netflix to ding their system, use Twitter and all of the support Rise hashtags. Tomorrow at 6 pm est I believe we are going to try and get Rise trending.

Be polite to Nick, email them (feedback@nick.com), but we canāt let them ignore this fandom until we fade away.Ā
That team was incredible. Donāt let it end here.Ā
Nick told the crew the show was onĀ āpause.ā The initial vibe wasĀ āwait-and-see-after-the-movie.ā Thatās not a no. Glitch Techs did this move. Invader Zim did this move.
Letās make Rise another success story.Ā

ITāS CUTE!!!! šā¤ļøšš§”š¢šš
Do you mind if I ask you about real boy Shelldon? because I love him and I want to know more. Like did he have to learn how to walk because his drone form didn't have legs, and is he super affectionate or does a lot of touch overwhelm him because the his senses are way different. Just any headcanons you have, because I love this boy.
Oh these are exciting questions! I do have a lot of ideas for Real Boy Shelldon, many of which I plan on making art or comics for. But Iāll be happy to share some of my headcanons and ideas of him!
RealBoy! Shelldon Headcannons:
Shelldon's favorite pizza is Hawaiian.
It takes him some time to get used to his new biological body. He has some trouble learning to walk and move around properly at first. Things like hunger and pain are also new to him.
For a while he gets overwhelmed by experiencing so many new sensations in general. Breathing, having a heartbeat, sounds, smells, touch, feelings ā all of which he suddenly has to process in new ways other than in ones an zeros - can be a bit much at times.
He does like hugs though and often needs his family around to help ground him.
Shelldon gets along best with Mikey since they are the same "age" and maturity level. They like hanging out, playing video games, and skateboarding together. They also get into a lot of hijinks and trouble together ā they are terrible influences on one another.
Mikey is excited to finally have a "little brother" (in age only, Shelldon is actually quite tall).
Shelldon is more than happy to give his immediate "older brother" a ride on his shoulders.
Shelldon gets into surfing.
He loves experimenting with food and creating weird food combinations. Pizza in a blender? Yup! All the random pizza toppings found in the '87 show? Of course! Hot sauce on ice cream? Delicious!
He often goes on missions with Raph, but gets distracted by things really easily and gets caught up in doing his own stuff, so most of the time they're really unproductive.
He and Donnie bond over Jupiter Jim films and their love of Atomic Lass.
Regarding his drone parts:
He still has his rotors to fly with in the back of his shell.
Despite having a soft shell, Shelldon likes keeping his back unobstructed so that he can use his rotors at anytime. He'll only wear hoodies or loose clothing when he feels comfortable and safe.
His robotic eye has night-vision, and can see outside the normal color spectrum like UV and infrared.
He can communicate with computers a bit. There is a notch in the back of his head that can be used to connect wires to for him to communicate with computers or provide access to the computer side of his brain.
He can occasionally pick up radio signals as well (which can also be a bit overwhelming at times).
He can also suffer from small technological issues like computer viruses and short-circuits (but it'd mostly just make him sleepy and a bit loopy since he still has his bio-brain to compensate).
The mutation managed to fit together his bio-body with his computer body pretty effectively, so he doesn't even need to "recharge" with electricity, and can just use his normal body energy (from food and such) to fuel his technological bits.
He thus has to eat a lot.
Overall, Shelldon is pretty open to going with the flow and trying new things, there's lots of new stuff to do now that he is alive.
Iād like to thank you for this question, anon! Iāve been having a bit of a creative block lately. This helped flex my artistic muscles and get the juices flowing!
