technically still his birthday, so have this last minute b-day drawing Rookie! And the cupcake. And... the wrapper, I guess
My grad cap fell out of my closet while I was looking for something, and I realized I never shared it here. This is my sister’s work, and I’m still so grateful for her making it a reality. I couldn’t ask for it to be better. <3
I thought the quote was fitting for the ending of my journey through public school; that sign on the iceberg, in a way, marked the end of an important part of my childhood. So many memories came to a close the day club penguin shut down.
Now all of my childhood friends have grown up with me and gone their separate ways, and the years leading up to that day I walked shut their doors to prepare for a new chapter. I’ll cherish the memories I made, and keep them in my pocket as I see what the future holds for me. To all the friends who made me who I am, Waddle On <3
oh actually !! talking more abt the lesbian thing
"im in lesbian with my gf" is SO good and a lot of how i feel too. im bigender : guy + butch dyke and the butch dyke part is oftentimes only relevant when im in a relationship w a girl vc then its allnushy lesbian feelings and THATS my only real connection to womanhood
and ! interestingly ! i dunno if you also feel the same as anon (im so so sleepy, reading comprehension has gone slightly down) (wait fuck was it even an anon i cant check now) but i actually feel weirder calling myself sapphic than i do lesbian bc i feel like *sapphic* has more feminine inplications on my gender ! so im explicitly a lesbian but Not sapphic, bc w lesbian i feel a connect to butch history and such
anyways solidarity in um. transmasculinity and liking women in a queer way and also very comolicated feelings abt gender sexuality and labels. this is very rambly but i am Excited and Tired djdbdk
Hiiii hiiii to answer your initial ask: thank you for enjoying Princess AJ :33333 <3 "Shaking it around like a snowglobe" made me laugh.
I SOOOOO feel you, my lesbian label is truly one of my few connections to womanhood lol. My romantic feelings are so disgustingly mushy over-the-top lesbian nonsense. For a while I used lesbian as a sort of gender label as well and tbh that's still 20% accurate. Such an interesting label, I like when it's used or interpreted in such an abstract, all-encompassing way. The way I love is lesbian! Im in lesbian with my gf! I'm not a lesbian for the way I'm attracted to women, but just like... the way the attraction feels? The vibes??? Does that make any sense??? Probably not, I've had a headache all day lol I'm yapping nonsense. A million other lesbians who are much smarter than me have put this nuanced feeling into words much better than I ever could.
Mefeels that lesbian does have less of a feminine connotation just cause the relationship between gender and being a lesbian is sooo unique and interesting, no matter where you land on the gender specturm. I don't think I've ever used the sapphic label for myself... maybe I also associate it with a more "fem" energy. I don't call myself wlw either, I am a dogboything loving women lol.
Anywaaaays thank you for sharing!!! Love being able to discuss this sort of thing :3
Rattober from a few years ago. I'm doing rattober again this year, but in traditional medium. I'll post them when I get everything scanned.
I definitely didn't forgo sleep last night to draw the funny psychokinetic cyborg fish. Definitely. He absolutely does not have me in a choke hold as the Dog Man movie gets closer. You can trust me.
Also putting pre-mech him here out of his fishbowl because im kinda proud with how he turned out :3
My return to dreamland comic I did for my first illustration class in college is back up! Stills looks decent and also I'm posting this around the time RTDL came out so happy b-day Return to dreamland!
I hereby declare from this moment forward that I will be posting one rat a day, whether it be my art, a reblog, or a random rat nose to boop, it shall be done.
Signed, Dumi the Dumbo Rat
Happy Pride <3
Part 4, and last part of the felted penguin tutorial!
Now that you have your beak, it’s time for the feet. From all the other penguins I’ve felted, I was running out of orange felt— you can use more than in the picture if you’d like to! Just make sure to cut/tear them as even as you can.
Again, for the feet I usually just place the felt on and go from there, but you can always make the shape beforehand.
Face the feet at an angle under the penguin, more towards the front than the back. Also try to get them as flat as you can, these will be the only thing holding your penguin up! Please do not give your penguin a concussion by dooming it to fall over and over again, the poor little guys.
Next up we’re working on the eyes. If your penguin has a mask, sunglasses, etc, this step is completely optional. Here I could have switched to my smaller needle, but I stuck with medium.
You can shape the penguin’s expression a bit more here with how you shape the eyes— for example, since AA is more attentive, I gave her wider, slightly sloped eyes.
Applying them is about the same as applying the white felt on the belly. Place a small amount of white felt above one side of the beak, shape it as you tighten it, and do the same for the other side. Make sure not to leave any space between the white of the eyes and the beak, and of course, get it as flat as you can.
Lastly, add the black part of the eyes! Use a VERY small amount of black felt, as it pops out a lot.
If you have felting scissors, you can also snip away extra bits of felt around the sides to make it look cleaner. AA definitely needs a bit more of a trim XD
I’ll get to her clothes sometime, but for now, here’s your penguin tutorial!
OOH YEAH, THAT WOULD ACTUALLY WORK WITH HIM
he like genuinely believes he's doing better than the EPF is at protecting the island, he would definitely try and ask her to join him lol. he's def really salty about being rejected
AGGGGGH THEY WOULD BE SUCH COOL RIVALS I MEAN THEY BOTH HATE JPG TOO
do you think stellar and killian would take boxing lessons together. since they're basically twins at this point
It’d actually be pretty cool if they did before he became a hitman/villain-
I think he’d have enjoyed sparring with her, he does love a good fist fight too. Even after he lost his badge, he’d probably still would get excited if she’s the EPF agent he has to fight while on a job. I think he sees her as a sort of equal when it comes to strength and skill, much like how he feels about JPG (though with a lot less bitterness, he doesn’t have as much of a reason to her as he does he does Guy). He probably would ditch his gun for a hand-to-hand fight with her with very little persuasion lol.
Anyway, have a sketch of them about to fist fight in their EPF outfits
Currently suffering a hyperfixation on a Roblox character lol. Mr. Angler/Whale/Shrimp Man totally snuck up on me and idk why or how X)
He’s fun to draw and write, though! I actually really want to felt him :3
