I Found Love in Golden Eyes

I can finally post this here woo!

shoutout to @beesneedswords for helping me with the title!

@mapleleavesart I AM AN OLD, I'VE BEEN IN MANY MANY MANY FANDOMS

To be fair though I don't know if it can be called "a phase", I did like three fanarts and then fucked off to continue being obsessed with Good Omens 🤣

You know what that is completely valid but also IM NOT THAT YOUNG I KNOW SHE RA but then again I haven't really changed fandoms ever so maybe it's just me lmao. I did a little bit of Wings of Fire and Warrior cats back in middle school (which was like? A year or two before the She Ra post???? Wild) but it's been TMNT ever since 💀

Uh I might be just a tiny little bit broken over this

Future Islands "Corner of My Eye"

cover i drew for my future leo and casey jr playlist

It felt good to paint something after a while.

This template has been in my folders for I-don't-even-know-how-long, I was looking for some refs but found this instead and decided to finally fill it up. I could also do this for the heir and the ronin AU but their current situation is too complicated for me to be able to think about their future hahajhjshdjs

Original under the cut!

I think something important to bring up to counter the defeatist attitude I’ve seen going around of “give up AI is inevitably going to take your art jobs” is a lack of awareness in the people making these claims. Most of them seem to not be in any sort of creative industry.

So here’s the thing. I work as a professional artist at a studio that regularly accepts art submissions from freelancers… and we REFUSE to use AI generated imagery. It’s even stated in our contracts and legal agreements.

We will not be taken advantage of by paying hundreds of dollars to AI prompters who use legally questionable means to “create” their submissions.

While many of us in the studio find AI to be ethically unsound, at the end of the day… it’s because AI is literally a LIABILITY. Avoiding it now will save us a lot of trouble and legal drama down the line.

It’s just common sense.

Also a little explanation for the last sketch:

We had an idea if there was an entire episode about Temi, where Ana and Leo would ask Donnie to watch over her while they're out. Temi would try to climb into the oven a few times, and Donnie would try to keep her away. At some point, she would sneak out, and Donnie would find Mikey roasting chicken, and would think Temi got in the oven after all (it's stupid, I know, but it's for comedy). In the end it would reveal that Temi was with Splinter all this time.

i hope you write (i hope we both write)
