Day 4: Protector

I'm curious. Reblog this if you know how to cook

I don’t even care if it’s macaroni, ramen or those little bowls you stick in the microwave. Please, I need reassurance that most of the population on tumblr WOULDN’T STARVE TO DEATH if their parents couldn’t fix them food or they couldn’t go out to eat. 

new riders arc looks so good

Espio has so much untapped sonic potential

He is, arguably, the single most “normal” teenager in sonic canon vice via like his day to day problems and priorities.

Like even in the og archie comics where shit was notriously crazy all the time especially for Knuckles and his friends, Espio’s role was like. the Guy Whose Friends Are All Always Going Through Some Shit But He Is Basically Fine.

Like he’s not the one who finds a kid dead from LSD overdose. That’s the 6 year old bee’s problem. Espio just like. Gets the group text about it.

Like of the “main” 20+ sonic characters you can easily put Espio in the top 3 for edgy designs. And like Espio’s worst problems all come from being 16 and having brothers who are 18 and 6 respectively.

Like darkest canonical interpretations just come down to

-dead former mentor figure (think like. tails if sonic died, but like years later)

-child living through and suffering under realistic financial strain (sad. Really weird vibe for a sonic character tbh. Still not really that comparable to like. Shadow.)

And like. This is the same series where reality sometimes canonically gets thanos snapped and everyone’s lives get reset and genocides get forgotten. You can dig some fucked up experiences for like basically every sonic characters vice via Archie Comics being insane

And like. Im pretty sure this has only ever been played straight? Like of course he’s edgy he looks edgy. Isn’t Charmy annoying?

Idk i just think the fact Espio canonically knows like. Knuckles and Sonic and Shadow is like unexplored comedy gold. He’s like the shitty poser teen who BUYS the shadow the hedgehog posters to feel cool.

He and Vector talk and act like peers on the same page 99% of the time but Vector romantically pursues women unambiguous old enough to firmly see Espio as a child. That is so fucking funny. You’re 16 and your friday night is fucking ruined because your best bro is going out with some adult woman who treats you like you are 12 and a BABY so now you’re stuck babysitting YOUR baby brother ALONE, if not also your bro’s girl’s kid. Meanwhile the group chat is blowing up because all your COOL friends just broke into Eggman’s lab and are making really funny tiktoks without you

ok ok but new headcanon about the idiot family ever

Ray doodle. Might make a comic out of this design.

Teenage mutant ninja turtles! One of the things a grew up with,

I tried mixing the 2012 and 2018 looks together I think it came out really nice! (Even if it doesn’t look as intended with the mix)

I know the 2018 series can get a little controversial at times but I like the designs, their all different types of turtles which is pretty neat And fun! And they still have those fun and exaggerated expressions that I love and even try to incorporate in my own art, theres also thier accessories and markings that they have which is what I used in an attempt at mixing them, (along with the other types but that doesn’t show to well) I tried to make Raph look bigger but it didn’t work to well due to angles, I also ment to give Donnie glasses but I forgot,

Up close

+ random parts of the process

I’ve never drawn the turtles until I did this so it was certainly new and for something new it came out quite well! Even if they don’t look as much like their 2018 counter parts as I’d like them to

I also drew this with the new brush and it was wonderful!~

Sat April 19th, by the way the drawing labeled April 18th and 19th were basically all done in one night, thought it was fun to shear that
