redstringraveng'morning, lads!
i'm not sure what the 'expected' method is around these parts for sharing artwork, but consider this a test-run as i share a few of my favorite pieces from may, july and august of this year. might also share one of my shorter fics later today to test-run how that'll look in this space as well. i have a fic i wrote for the tmnt zine: leader in blue that i'll be allowed to post publicly on the 19th, and i'm very excited to finally get to share that on a wider scale!!
[edit, 10.10.25]: art can be found in the cuts! i've been told there're some clever ways to format/stack images neatly, but i've yet to look into those. will try to have those possibilities explored at least a little before i post several larger pieces at a time!

JULY 2025 ~ Who has Time for Tears?
![[ID: digital, colored illustration of leonardo from the animated tmnt 2003 series. he's standing in profile facing right, one katana drawn and held at a lowered angle in his right hand. on the end of the drawn katana rests a faintly glowing red and brown moth that seems to leave a thin trail of blood. behind leo is a rusty, cream-colored, tiled wall with one tile square across from him glowing red. he stares down at the butterfly, expression somber and exhausted. the painted text on the wall reads "i feel your stress". /END]](https://64.media.tumblr.com/f5926d32817605cb6b65573f47614c89/383b77335e9deb24-61/s1280x1920/b24009122e2bc2f42b200f848d374e38aadf11a7.pnj)
AUGUST 2025 - Neglected Space
![[ID: a digital illustration of my tmnt 2003 original character: gwyneth. it's an overhead shot where she's lying nude on her side, curled up in a ball and her face hidden by her palms (though one eye peers out at you through her fingers). the scene is dark and framed by weaving, tangled tree roots. gwyn's body is covered in cracks as though she were made of old stone, and there's a faint glow coming from her body's bioluminescence along her skin and in her hair. /END]](https://64.media.tumblr.com/a0c0d378395f3af0ff3a151d54359bdc/298ae2c787d979cf-ac/s2048x3072/29e3df46cc5b78feff4582854ea76e5355a375e1.pnj)
think that's it for now! curious to use this as further testing grounds for how journal tags work and other bits of organization, that sort of thing. hopefully after adding the cut, the images will remain formatted like i have them here. in the preview they keep defaulting to left justify. >->;;
godspeed, lads. hope your weekend's treated you well.

absolutely going to have to check that out. ✍ now that things have slowed back down into a bit more of a reliable routine, i'm looking forward to being able to sit down and scope things out proper. T-T;; heck.
i just checked this out! that's such a cool lantern. e-e!!! said this over on your page, but! hope it's cooled down a bit in your area. we've still been fighting off the heat over here, and as much as i wish i could say that goes away after a certain point... we still sometimes have 90F days in december. so. what do i know. oTL

O_O I definitely could not deal with that.
