I just wanted to let you know that I have enjoyed your tmnt fanart (especially Apriltello) over the years. Do you have any new tmnt art projects, or has that fandom ship sailed? If it has, then thank you for sharing your creativity over the years. I’ll always come back to your page for Apriltello eye-candy!

Aw that’s awesome, thank you^^ Alas, I have been reduced to a lowly lurker for the past few years. Can’t say I’ll never post anything TMNT related again, but I definitely have moved on to other things. I’m animating fulltime now, so that leaves me with less energy to draw MORE after work. And what little I do in my freetime is usually related to my own original story.

I do have a couple of TMNT drabbles lying around unfinished, and might post them soon... So I guess keep an eye out still! 

And as a tip, here’s a couple of badly photographed tiny sketchies that I drew recently just to check I still remembered how to draw them XD.

Anyone who agrees with this say “Aye”.

Dear TMNT

That little itty bitty teeny tiny piece of Apriltello we got in the season finale made me smile. I can’t be the only one who misses this… 

I don’t post much stuff like this because it’s a hater magnet, but… I’m not even gonna be shy about it anymore.

The show started off with it being a pretty major thing - it’s because April called Donnie’s attention that the whole story started really - and it was such a sweet relationship to see develop from a stupid crush to this great friendship, so cosy and full of trust, even if Donnie was still learning not to be stupid about it. And then we had a KISS - which in itself isn’t clear what it meant. And it just kinda… went a little silent there. I really really miss it.

And I really hope it wasn’t dropped because of some negative feedback from some people. Shipping aside, if none of it is really explored anymore -and it’s not even about Donnie ending up with April anymore, although I wish - that would be one major story arc just flushed down the drain, to be honest. 

I just wanted this out there. There’s a lot of people who actually enjoy the fluff -I think all the fanart speaks for itself haha- and we’re starving for some. *snif*

Hope you don’t mind that I tag you, peterdicicco XD

And if you guys agree, reblog, signal boost it by Darwin’s beard!

the sexy monster genre may not be my thing, but I do have a certain respect for what Guillermo Del Toro is doing with the shape of water, because while cowardly media like twilight will remove all signs of monster qualities to make vampires sexy underwear models, Guillermo is just full tilt “this creepy fish man is sexy, this woman wants to fuck the creepy fish man. she wants to lick his gills or some shit and that’s ok. fish fucking is valid” like I’m not into it, but goddamnit if I do not respect the boldness of it. go big or go home

Just decided to color some of my old tmnt drawings

“I won’t be bothering you anymore with music boxes. I get it now. Donnie is to April like big foot was to donnie. I’m just a mutant.”

Do you see April’s face? Before you guys start saying she’s leading him on or she’s teasing him I want you to look closely at her face.

To me its the face of hurt. Those words donnie said hurt. It wasn’t a pitty kiss. She kissed him because she wanted him to know that she didn’t deny him because of his appearance she denied him because of his actions. And once she realized he was about to totally give up on her she knew she needed to do something to give him some hope.

“Your my mutant” that line right there should tell us something. This is just my insight.

But before you go hating on her why dont you try understanding her before you join the crowd of haters. She’s a teen with a shitty life. No mother or dad. No friend that’s a girl that she can bond with. Nothing. She literally has no one but the turtles and Casey. And donnie is the closest to her and hearing him about to give up on her…..that would hurt any girl right?

I just believe that she doesn’t want to have a boyfriend right now. And honestly if Casey tries to get with her she would probably put him in his place just like she did with donnie but without the whole kiss.

I don’t know I could be wrong but I definitely know that she is no way TEASING or LEADING HIM ON WITH FALSE HOPE. April isn’t that trype of girl. She’s not a bitch. Or a tease. She’s just no I refuse to believe such things. And just like the boys I will defend her and protect her. She doesn’t deserve this harsh treatment she’s getting. Its uncalled for and completely childish. So please before you call her a BITCH, SLUT WHORE, HOE, A TEASE, try understanding her and her feelings and her side of the story.

Just a smexy wallpaper I found while searching for smexy wallpapers. ;D

Enjoy~

I’ve been getting quite a few request from supposed artists who want me to commission them for my story Burdens of the Soul on Fanfiction.net.

As flattering as this may seem, I can’t help but notice a few red flags. These artist always follow or favorite my story and talk about how much they ‘loved it’ but they are often extremely vague about it not even mentioning what they liked about story or don’t even mention tmnt at all. Plus, my story is nowhere close to being popular enough to be receiving the amount of commission messages that I’ve been getting.

I’ve identified at least one of them as scam artist not sure about the others. Here are samples of what I’m seeing in my ff.net inbox:

It’s really annoying getting these messages because it makes it harder to identify real artists who genuinely are seeking commission work.

Anyway, as a PSA, just make sure you do your homework on artists before hiring them for commission work to ensure you don’t get scammed.

Congratulations, you are a writer! Prepare to get:

Characters popping up in your dreams

Characters popping up in your head everytime, like, damn it, Jason, I’m taking an exam here!

Weird habits you picked from your characters

The urge to make faces as you write because that’s what your characters are doing

Weird internet history

A really unsettling knowledge on poisons and murder in general

The urge to slam your face on your desk

Notebooks and notebooks cravings, even if you write on your computer

Those I wish there was more content for my characters. Oh, right. I have to make it moments.

The same daydream before falling asleep, and sometimes you cut it and restart from scrap, now with more feeling.

The urge to insert your new obsession in your current WIP but you don’t have guns in middle ages damn it.

The painful experience of wanting to tell everybody about it but at the same time not wanting anybody to know

A thousand ideas or none at all for months.
