Thank you! We’ll try some of these!
Hey I saw your post about hand tools to get into art for those with disabilities. My brother has been looking into getting into drawing again. He loved watching me draw growing up, and because he was just a little younger than me it never occurred to me/us to look into hand mobility aids til now. And I really want give him a chance to develop a passion for it.
He has multiple osteochondromas and it affects his fingers, they’re kind of… locked? In a curled fashion if that makes sense? He doesn’t have issues with grip, but it does strain his hands. He says he sometimes has trouble with his wrists, but it’s mostly just his fingers. He thinks the ‘egg’ cushion grip would work for him. But I was wondering if you would happen to know what other options would specifically be best for him? We’re both kind of clueless in this category.
Hey!!!
So I'm not sure what the best would be but I have tips for finding the best shape that can work!
So you could first try finding a bumper pack of pencil grips, try searching "kids pencil grips" "disability pencil tool" "writing aid grips" and other combos of those words and you can find packs they make for schools to give to kids, try often have a bunch of different shapes in there for around £10-20
Alternatively you could try getting some tissue and tape, and use them to shape a grip around the pencil, wrapping tissue around the pencil and taping it in place and keep going until you're at a desired thickness/length/shape, and then take that and have a look online for similar shapes for a more sturdy grip !
Or you could try self adhesive tape, or vet wrap, (about £1 for a roll and lots of colours) and use that to get a good fit and shape, plus the added bonus is that that way it's cheaper, squishier and you may like it enough to not bother with buying one that's the same shape!
I hope that helps!!! I wish ur brother luck 🫶
Chapter 3 for my 'Turtles Forever II' fic "Get in Dum-Dums, We're Going Vandalizing" is finally done! ;) Please check it out!
Oh what a great expression, let me trace it for myself- HOW DID I ACCIDENTALLY GIVE HIM A HOT DAD BOD?! He's 52 I swear-
Art Style inspired by Sarah Myer from the TMNT Saturday comics. Panel from the upcoming TMNT multiverse meet up crossover issue.
So... for my Turtles Forever fic “Get in Dum-Dums” I did decide to make the 1987 turtles peewpaws. And it's hilarious. Anyway have some free icons. I may make more, ask me if you'd like a specific flag. They take a bit.

You think if I start posting a lot about it I can sneak into that tmnt au competition?

Original:
I finally figured how to draw my 52 year old pee paw~ with some minor digital edits
I got my the issues fixed! Designs made by me (@getindumdums) starting now!
Get this design in a neck T, crewneck sweatshirt, pull over hoodie, socks, sticker, fleece blanket, writing journal, mug, iphone and samsung cases, apple watch band, apron, and tote bag!
Will add tmnt and other pride designs!
I made a fan design/edit of Big Mama's assistant based off the red and black "Painted Turtle". I'm calling her "V" as the number 5 like the movie V for Vendetta.
Concept
I'm exploring concepts for my Get in Dum-Dums fic and I believe I found the right combination of personality for the plot to take her as serious and needed but is still humorous. She is annoyed by the rise gang and hates their guts. Ridiculously serious, quiet, loyal, and 'happy'. Her fighting style is a foil to the bros so she take them all on, (mainly martial arts, maybe a master of all their weapons last ronin style).
The moment her face gets revealed there's a constant Izma gag where she's described as "scary beyond reason".
Like:
Some Yokai: "Hey! You’re sister was looking for you!"
"Sister?" Rise bros who had been running, freezing.
"Yeah. I pointed her to where your friend went."
Leon: "Claws? Fangs? Scary beyond reason?"
Yokai snaps his fingers, "That’s the gal!
*Collective frightened gasps!
And the worst, most horrible, trait of all. To the Rise bros' horror. She HATES pizza.
Mikey is insistent to get her that redemption arc despite this blasphemy (angrily proclaims it). And she only begins to slightly come around to the food (forcibly by Mikey) when she IS redeemed. And when is redeemed, she looks EXACTLY the same.
(Also she maybe has straight up 03/12 Karai storyline rip. Except. Leo's gay (and trans). Big Mama seperated au vibes. Big Mama being evil still, but still in love with Splinter drama. Tricks the turtles evily, relunctanly teams up with said turtles, only to do a final 'change to the terms at the last second' to save Lous life. Maybe.)
I’m 25, a goth/punk trans man
-atheist-
I’m an artist and writer. I’m learning animation and trying to work on a cartoon pilot! Not in the animation industry just yet but maybe posting my art will get me noticed.
This main is for ‘soon to be open’ commissions. And to offer some of my graphic design work.
Tidbits about my interests
I’m goth/punk who believes in being a good person. I love comedy and horror/the dark genres. I have a current ninja turtles obsession. As such, I would love to work on any tmnt projects, show, and the Saturday Comics. I’m writing a Turtle’s Forever II fic featuring the 1987, 2003, 2012, and ROTTMNT turtles.

I’m a BIG Oingo Boingo/Danny Elfman fan.
I love metal and a little bit of everything musically. Queen, Queensryche, I Don’t Know How They Found Me, Willwood and the Tapeworms, are some examples of bands I love.
I love bats, snakes, spiders, isopods, other bugs, all animals really.
I’m also autistic, meaning you can strike up a conversation with me about our shared special interests. (PLEASE. I’d very much enjoy the conversation.)
87 Brains and Brawn Duo reminds me of Rise’s Disaster Twins.
This is 100% inspired by these two stealing a missile launcher together in S3.
Zap! I'm a mad scientist that draws. Message me about commissions. getindumdums is my tmnt blog
