**NOTE ABOUT REQUESTS**

I don’t take any. 😜 Ok, but fr I need pple to stop demanding whatever they want from me. I’m happy to share my story online for those who want to see my art, but it is and always will be my art. My character. I’m done responding nicely to ppl commenting in all caps to ‘make the next part now,’ ‘let me help you write it,’ ‘do it in this style,’ or ‘add my character too!’ I reserve the right to REMOVE ANY DEMANDS from any/all of my content as I see fit. (Thank you to the sane ppl who understand what I’m trying to do here 🙏❤️)

Fanart rules:

1) TAG ME!! My OCs are my characters and I want your fanart to link people to my work so they can see the full story!! Also, I WANNA SEE!!

2) Please keep fanart content appropriate for what my comic is portraying. (Ex, no weapons I haven’t introduced yet, but drawing MJ meeting your own OC is fine)

3) If you think your fanart idea is somewhat out there, just shoot me a DM and ask me abt it! I really appreciate honesty!!

Commission Rules Post (when comms are open)

(Pre-Knight Clan AU)

This Masterpost keeps everything organized from the conclusion of The Snow Leopard Quest all the way until the start of the Knight Clan AU!

If you prefer a short version, here’s a simple MJ Timeline of Events.

For everyone else looking for details, here’s my Info Dump 2.0 which contains lots of Adult AU stuff!

Summary:

After Raph and Ramona were the first to get married, the whole Hamato Clan moved out of the sewers and into a Donnie-designed multigenerational home in the Hidden City! There, many of them found enjoyable jobs that they could freely be themselves in (now that they were surrounded by a community of yokai)! MJ and Eli were soon to follow in the marriage train, and April and Donnie rounded it off later as well. Leo and Mikey remained single by choice, happy enough living all together with their family. After a while, Raph and Ramona had their first child, a daughter, Esmene. She grew to be 2 years old before MJ and Eli adopted their own daughter, Melody. (see designs below)

Jobs:

Raph+Leo - Wanted to honor their father’s legacy, and so founded a quality Lou Jitsu Dojo in the Hidden City. They now teach the way of the ninja to a number of young, eager students.

Donnie+Mikey - Both complete personal commissions for various, on-call customers. Donnie’s comms feature high-performance technology and coding programs (tho he keeps the best for himself and his family, ofc) while Mikey’s are completely art-focused.

April - Works as a top reporter for the local yokai news casters; typically seen in her poodle yokai cloaked form when on air.

Ramona - Stuck out her studies and became a professional physical therapist in addition to her seasonal part-time job as a middle school cross country coach.

Eli+MJ - MJ eventually joins Eli at Hueso’s restaurant and the two slowly climbed the ladder there as an efficient and inseparable pair.

Kids:

Esmene (ez-meen) - Raph+Ramona’s 1st

Shares traits from both her mom and dad, yet still has her own unique style. She’s very spunky, outgoing, and protective of her younger siblings once they’re introduced. 💜

Melody - Eli+MJ’s only child

She’s my own design for a Japanese creature called a ‘tengu’ which is a half-bird half-man legend, typically featuring red and black coloring. Melody’s a sweethearted soul with a little trickster/sassy energy thrown in. With her parents’ combined love for music, she quickly lives up to her name with her own passion for the art. 💛

Comics:

Why Me? (Eli+MJ fluff)

Hello, Handsome (follow up bonus to ‘Why Me?’)

A Baby What? Pt 1 // Pt 2 (new family pet!)

Baby Esmene doodle dump (exactly what it sounds like)

Melody (intro to Melly’s adoption/adjustment)

Last but not least, a little extra background knowledge on my OC, Ramona Brown, before she met Raph and the fam.

And of course, the dubbed and edited YouTube version!

Ramona Brown was the second and youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Brown. Her parents were both raised very proper, made a decent salary, and were usually far too busy to spend much quality time with their daughters. Ramona’s fondest childhood memories were with her older sister, Lydia. Unlike their parents, Lydia always had a moment to spare for Ramona. Whether it was wrestling, playing video games, or sneaking out to cause a little late night mischief, the two were each other’s closest friends.

As they grew, Lydia became a very successful academic, to their parent’s great delight. Ramona however, wasn’t quite as ‘gifted’ and quickly became shunned and often shamed by her parents. She would constantly be compared to Lydia’s success, though Lydia adamantly fought against it. Ramona found herself staying out later and later over time just to avoid going home and facing another interrogation. She sometimes wandered into dangerous areas of New York and got mixed up with criminals or gangs. Whenever she needed help getting out of these situations, Lydia was right there - which only made their parent’s reactions worse.

One fateful day, a strange, green mosquito flew into Ramona’s bedroom window and found its mark in her leg while she slept next to her pet horned lizard. The next morning, she woke up a completely different creature with rough, scaly skin, sharp horns and teeth, and a long, sectioned tail. Lydia did all she could to help clam her down and hide her from their parents. They eventually decided to lie and say that she’d finally run away for good, though in reality Lydia snuck her food and supplies in secret. Their parents ranted endlessly about how worthless Ramona had been as a failed daughter and how running away for good was truly the only best outcome for their family. Though they showered Lydia in praise and sweet nothings, she had no love for their behavior.

This went on until the invasion when Lydia had the greatest misfortune of getting mauled by a kraang-hound while trying to escape New York with Ramona. Ramona was furious and heartbroken for a long time before she found the Hidden City of the yokai. There, she could walk around like a normal person, despite her non-human appearance. She finally got used to her body, different though it was, and that inspired her to study physical therapy at a yokai university. She even worked as a part-time cross country coach at a children’s school nearby.

Slowly but surely, Ramona found a place for herself in the Hidden City and could even see a future for her life - something she’d never had before. And then, on a particularly fateful run in the park, she met a big, spiky snapping turtle. He immediately reminded her so much of Lydia with his thoughtful eyes and kind smile, she couldn’t help but be pulled in. They eventually dated, fell in love, and got married; and Ramona’s sad little life has been all the fuller and happier ever since. 🤎

Right here, right now you can watch my next comic a whole week early through my PATREON! 🥳✨

https://www.patreon.com/MJsArtandComics/posts/new-comic-early-166047176?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link

It’s right here in this post! ⬆️

Pt1 of ‘MJ AU (Adult) - A Baby What?’ will post for everyone on YouTube next week Fri. 😁👍

Ooo, yeah actually there’s a good chunk I haven’t posted about her background! I can get around to that sometime soon here, yes! ✨

That’s right, I’ve officially opened public commissions!

Here are the rules:

Payment will be via Venmo.

If you have any questions, feel free to comment! Can’t wait to see what you all cook up for me! 😁👍✨

This isn't necessarily a comm, but I made a character design and action shot for a D&D character I'll be playing in a friend's campaign! She’s a living dragon gargoyle carved for a long destroyed underwater temple sanctuary for waterfolk. She is carved of dark blue-grey marble with bronze and jade inlay. She has no true name, so her party just calls her ‘Temple’ because she always identifies with her home. 🩶✨

thank you so much for making this wonderful comic

god bless you!!❤️💜💙🧡

I really do have a question this time hehe😅

so during the Mj au when they found her how did you do Donnie’s voice? Like ummm it’s kinda hard to explain but you did Donnie’s voice well and I would like to k ow any tips or tricks you have for me to do Donnie’s voice.?

I forgot two questions:

If MJ watches Steven Universe, who’s her favorite character? Mine are Steven, Garnet, Amethyst and Peridot. And my favorite fusion is Smoky Quartz

And Do you like Gravity Falls? Would MJ watch it? My favorite characters are Dipper and Soos

Have a nice day 😄☀️

Heya! Yeah, MJ loves Connie and Lion (but Garnet and Perry are close seconds) 🩷

I come bearing some gifts that I hope you will like! I’ve decided to get out of my art block buff to draw your characters with my oc’s!

I hope you’re ready…

HERE’S NUMBER ONE! 💛 🩵

Xsis doesn’t like kids very much, because of her orphanage years and being one of the oldest kids there at the start, but that made her really good with them. Xsis also loves to sing and use her illusions to tell stories. Melody, being a bitty baby birdie, I imagine would love the shiny images and singing Xsis presents.

NUMBER TWO 💜 💚

Woody loves kids and is okay with them… but he gets carried away when telling kids about his favorite myths and legends and history. Some kids either don’t listen or get VERY invested. If the sweet little Esmene is anything like Raph was when he was young, she will definitely get invested and might get into some mischief hehehe.

Sorry if the fanart seems a bit out there, but because you’re such an amazing person, I thought giving these gifts to you would be one of the best ways to show my appreciation!

I hope you have an amazing rest of your year!!! Keep being awesome!!!! ✨ 💖

AAH- MMM- ITS— ITS MY BABIES!!!

AHHHHH BOOKWORM I LOVE THEM!! 🤩🥰 This is so sweet, yours is the official first fanart of my baby OCs!! 💕
