Turtle art, art vs artist & music time! 🐢 ❤️

Hello Ali cats, I hope you’re all enjoying your weekend! I went out to eat with family and now I’m getting to some replies to you all before drawing. Thanks for all your kind comments and messages btw. Sometimes I’m slow getting to everyone but they really do make me happy so thank you ^_^ ❤️

Above is the full finished version of the turtle girl. It’s not perfect but I’m pretty proud of how the animation turned out. I think with a little more practice I can get it to look more smooth. I’m really excited about next week’s character but I won’t give a hint to her yet- you’ll have to wait for another guess the character come Monday >:)

Some of you may have already seen my art vs artist drawing on twitter/X but I know some Ali cats don’t use social media so here we go! I always thought this trend was really cute so this is my version. I tried to get the outfit as best I could :P

Let me know what you’ve been listening to this week :) My go to song recently has been “Kid of Darkness” by Slaughter To Prevail. Working out to this is ✨ PEAK ✨

Thanks a bunch! I’ve been wanting to do my own version of that art vs artist thing for a while now. It was a lot of fun so happy to hear you like it :) Hearing my stuff has been helping you sleep makes me happy too- the best compliment to get; that or I make you laugh :P Bro you always be finding the coolest songs that I would never hear or find and I love it! How does that not have more views? I really liked the Title Flight song too. Makes me want to drive at night with the window down and contemplate life- definitely my cup of tea ✨

Yooo nice threads girl 👌🏻You got mad style, all about it. Also just noticed the Tomie shirt 🖤Hell yeh she a queen. Tomie did nothing wrong. I been diggin the animations lately, they be looking smooth and give the girls some life~ sounds be smooth too, I been passing out hard. Turtle gal's tail is the gad damn cutest thing I'm obsessed. I like the song, watched the vid. Got it added, my playlists always got space for more angry rooskies. I'm on an opposite vibe atm, so instead of angry I'll trade you chill: https://youtu.be/3eIw7RXWXhQ?si=QYF4Vp-14d6FxnBX It's nothing special, an innocuous witch house track, I post it for no other reason than cosmic coincidence. I've also listened to Lefty by Title Flight like 136 times this month but I'm done with that one. No more sad only chill.

dead to me

I like dark/creepy stuff, but many people I know don't like or even tolerate the stuff. That's why I'm so happy that you enjoy it so much :D. I liked all of the names ^^, but my favourite was Vivi :D. I don't know if that was intentional because Mimi and Vivi a similar. I like the idea that you can recognise that they belong together just by their names.❤️Thank you very much Ali ^^!!!❤️ (And the drawing is still in progress, I'm still a beginner and it still takes me too long ;o;. But I am improving :P)

Oh dang! I know you've said you're in a small town, but you gotta be in the boonies to not have a car wash! :P Boo.. but good that it's taken care of! Lol the only spider I'm fine with finding inside my car is a jumping spider, they're so adorable and smart, the chibis of the spider world :p and oh dang! Didn't even think about the traffic! That's perfect then!

Delta

Of course, suggest any kind of music you like Mi-kotin! I like all kinds but my favorite is the more dark/creepy stuff :P As for names for your Mantis I thought of a couple that you might like. I tried to think of ones that fit her personality :) Alice, Victoria, Vivi, and Roxy. I’m sure whatever you choose to name her though will be great! ✨

alichu

I hand wash mine too! Mainly because a drive-through one is pretty far away so the old fashioned way it is for me :P Unfortunately I did find a couple of cobwebs on the inside but it’s all taken care of now :D It’s crazy how those guys can get inside your car even when it’s closed…little bastards lol. I really love that story idea btw haha! Would fit in with potential traffic interruptions too since it would go along with the theme xD

alichu

Glad you liked it! Also, the vacation was great. My family took their annual trip to Door County, a tradition we've been doing since I was a toddler.

WisconsinKnight

I was unsure whether I was even allowed to suggest something like that here -_-. And I'm glad you enjoyed it ^^. I am very happy that you are thinking of a name for the praying mantis :D. If you can't think of a name I still appreciate your efforts ^^. praying mantis personality: She is very proud, especially of her strength, but also relies on it too much and sometimes very impatient. She is someone who seeks out challenges and she likes to hunt big monsters. (And I like to design monsters for her to hunt) And she loves hunting trophies.

Mi-kotin

Lol I have to hand wash mine cause of the antenna for my 2 way radio, my lights, the like, besides, I might do a solo trip up in the mountains soon since I didn't do that last week cause of the multi day group trip lol until then, I will make the jeepers insecure with my subaru that has seen more dirt and mud than their lifted jeeps ever will!! >:D besides it was so uncomfortably warm that even with some fans going, everything was ...sticky... when trying to sleep during that camping trip lol Oh God, the spider webs?? Hopefully none on the inside! Also literally just thought of something, asmr RP where a spider girl drops down in the car while the listener is driving? Lol And good, was really hoping that didn't come out as creepy lol

Delta

No judgement at all! I loved the video to the song so much! Definitely my cup of tea with the dark elements. I’ve always been a big Vocaloid fan so that was a cool listen. Thanks for sharing Mi-kotin! ^_^

alichu

I’m happy you enjoyed the sticker detail Skelly! I thought some cute stickers were a cool idea- kinda like she was decorating her backpack or skateboard like back in the day lol. I’d say the shoes give me a good inch or two at least. Still not past the 5 foot mark unfortunately but hey, I’ll take what I can get haha! What a perfect song for you to recommend!! I’m already ahead of you though, I heard and watched it a day after it’s release :D I thought it was such a good combo of rock and country, I loved it ❤️ It’s funny that you brought up Falling in Reverse because one week I wanted to recommend “Ronald” BRO WHAT, the video isn’t just a loop!! There are changes in it omg!! Ok, I’m seriously going to watch this whole thing. I hope to God at the end it’s him walking into the HR office 🤣 Thank you so much for showing me this treasure.

alichu

I’m happy to hear you had a good day at work Arty, that’s great! It’s always nice to get stuff done too. There’s no better feeling than getting everything done and sitting down to just chill- you earned it! I had a very good meal with family too, thank you! It’s been a while since I went to a good seafood restaurant so I really enjoyed it :P I’m happy to hear you enjoyed the Fair to Midland song last week! The last I heard the lead singer is a vocal teacher now since they don’t make music anymore. I absolutely loved his voice though, so unique and cool! My favorite song by them is probably “Musical Chairs” I have to admit that I had never heard “Clairvoyant” until now, or at least I don’t think I have. I’m glad you recommended it though because it was a good song! :) The singer’s voice did sound pretty familiar to me. I listened to a bit of their other songs but I still can’t say that I remember them…that’s going to bug me now if I’m forgetting Dx

alichu

My song of the week is illloved / Kagamine Len by SOOOO. Don't judge me :P, I listen to the song at work. (In loop)

Mi-kotin

Hey GT, welcome to my Patreon! Thanks for the comment and I hope you enjoy your stay here ^_^

alichu

The one downside about doing things outside is a dirty car after haha! Speaking of that I just recently washed my car the other day- it was covered in pollen and spider webs on the outside ; o ; Hopefully you were able to get yours all cleaned up though! No worries at all! I appreciate the comment about the animation and outfit Delta, thank you! ^_^

alichu

Didn’t you know “:P” was my real face? Come on, I do it all the time haha! Don’t even get me started on car insurance ; o ; When I moved there was a lot of car things I needed to situate which was such a pain in the ass. Luckily I got a pretty good price on insurance but getting my plates changed was an absolute killer on my wallet- RIP lol. Cool song recommendations this week! I wasn’t familiar with either but enjoyed listening to them. The music/beat to Open the Door was pretty catchy :P I look forward to seeing the redesign of your character! Maybe you could put a construction sign over your current one to say it’s going through some changes, that would be pretty cute :)

alichu

I hope you’re enjoying your vacation, Knight! I can definitely understand the relation of music to a vacation or trip. I went to an anime convention a few years back and now associate a few songs with the drive there. I had never heard The Beths until now so thanks for your comment. I always like discovering new music and I enjoyed Future Me Hates Me- very unique voice ^_^

alichu

Oh very nice! I hope you enjoy your trip Teach :) Make sure to take lots of pictures and eat tons of good food! I’ve never been outside the US but I’d love to sometime for sure. Have a drink for me while you’re there haha! :P I always loved cathedral music so that’s really neat. You talking about all the music you’re hearing reminded me of my time in New Orleans. That was definitely a fun experience with lots of different things to see!

alichu

I am a simple man. I see "Falling In Reverse". I click. (well... copy+paste into YouTube search bar and THEN click!) Haha. I loved that video. Song itself was enjoyable too. Great recommendation, Skelly. No doubt Ali will be happy to see the featured signer in there too!

I really like the idea that she has stickers on her shell, they're almost like tattoos. I mean for her they are tattoos, cuz it's not like she can reach back there to take them off. All in black, I'd expect nothing less. I's say you did a pretty good job making it look like you, although I have to wonder by how much do those shoes make you taller. I'm going to recommend the song All My Life by Falling In Reverse. It may not be for everyone but I think it's just a fun nonsensical song and video. It also Features someone you've recommended yourself Alichu. Edit: I'm also going to recommend a video called American Berserk Gatsu Bateman status [1 HOUR VERSION]. I'd be surprised if you had not seen it.

Azazel made a good point about the correlation with the turtle and you being "slow" to the replies. XD Hey, at least you didn't apologise this time. Otherwise, you would've earned another bonk in the head for the jar. lol No worries about being slow, life comes first! Going out to eat with either friends or family is always great, glad to hear you had a good time! I finally finished my training modules for work which means I can finally begin drawing and gaming again. 😇 And today was an awesome day, very good shift - one of the best throughout my entire time so far! UGHH tell me about it. Metal hits differently when you're working out - and for me personally, it's also great with hardstyle (and DnB for running). I'll probably recommend something of those genres later down the line. "Kid of Darkness" was awesome BUTTT I have to talk about your last recommendation; "Walls Of Jericho". What fucking was that shit gave me a full on orgasm. Probably your best suggestion yet, and I regret I missed it last week. (I'm editing this comment while at work to say it's stuck in my head throughout the entire shift XD) Nothing I can think of can compete with that, but the art for Jericho reminded me of a piece I discovered by listening to my older brother sing it years ago to a girl (he didn't do it romantically, they were friends, but it was still quite cute). As usual, let me know if any names ring a bell already. "Clairvoyant" by The Story So Far

"GENERAL"- Okay no I'm not gonna lol Hello! Hope you enjoy your trip! Your recommendation was a good one as well - you can't ever go wrong with a choir. The human voice is the best instrument. Wouldn't be surprising if church choirs and Gregorian chants were one of the things that non-believers like about Christianity (that and gothic architecture).

Wow Alichu so good. I hope to see and hear more from you soon 💖

My weekend was great! Like I said on the other reply, I just got back from that camping trip so I'm catching up right now, but everything is so dusty and dirty, I'm covered in dust.. lol but also I hope you got some tasty food!!! I can definitely see the improvement stove your first animated art! Also, never thought a turtle girl could be made cute, honestly always though tmnt style lo Also, i need to use Twitter more often, and bam now following you :p also, I knew your art persona is based off of you, no no no, that's literally you! Haha also, I hope this doesn't come across as weird or creepy, but your outfit is adorable!

Delta

Pretty ironic to be slow with replies since there's a turtle for an art asmr. Also, I wish patreon allowed us to just share images in comments since I would've tooken the art picture to erase the face, then put :P just to say "I fixed the issue, now it's a real reference image." Speaking of weeks, I've actually managed to gain more than I imagined. Firstly, I gained a lot of money when I went back to working construction again with my father, yet I'm still being bullshited by car taxes(seriously, where out of their ass did they pull out about 900 dollars just to total my car insurance to $1100 after they just put me on the insurance plan, let alone with my discounts of a clean record AND drivers Ed as well). Thankfully it didn't take as much as it wanted to but jeez, what the hell. Some money I've actually used was for a recent merch drop on this website of Aitai Kuji, where they recently released Hololive English Myth Super Groupies Collaboration 4th Edition Jacket Mori Calliope. I have a huge vendetta with that outfit so I decided to buy one, yet I won't get it until January since it's currently in pre order, at least that's what my older brother said to me despite both of us doing the option to get the pre order faster than others for 10 dollars more(total for it is in a different cash type of deal, but in total U.S. dollars, it's was $210). Song recommendation today will be fitting for this turtle girl if she's calling shotgun in my car. I'm going with one I've listened to a lot that is so good when I go fast on the road. Bad B!tch Magic by HalaCG. My God do I ever love this song. I've also been listening to "Open the Door" by longestsoloever, a That's Not My Neighbor song that sounds about somewhat good and definitely something I would listen to while casually doing something of exercises. :P Finally to top this all off, recently talked with my friend about my redesign and it looks good. He toned down the demonic satanic look a bit and made it to where I have more fur and look about as built as a bear in his type of art style. I'm also working on trying to change my pfp rn to something to say that it's currently undergoing change but idk what I'll go for, but then again I'll probably just change it to something random. :P

I'm on a vacation with my family and have been listening to a lot of The Beths. I associate them with summer after driving to a summer wedding and discovering the band after having to find a new radio station once my current one got out of signal range. That song that introduced me to them was Future Me Hates Me and is still my favorite song of theirs (off the album of the same name, also my favorite album of their 3).

Hello there to all Ali cats and Ali the cat 🐈 For the QOTW or D.... Well, it's kind of complicated? I'm traveling in Europa, Catalunya, Spain to be exact, so I (sadly??) hear some Murican pop rock in some places, local songs in others, and CHURCH CHOIR?!? So let's go with the Basilica de la Santa Creu's choir upon which my mother and I stumbled by total accident upon visiting that cathedral?! Always respect your local choir, I say as a non-believer. There are no active fountains in the region due to the years-long drought. Use water wisely fellas, but do stay hydrated, got it? Oh and Blai 9 on Carrer de Blai in Barcelona is THE underpriced, quality place for nachos i pintxos👌 GOT IT ALI?!? They got your drinks cheap too!! Based drip by the way. The kinda vibe any gothgirl enjoyer would dream of. You rule!
