The talented @mcfanely ‘s fic Ambivalence inspired me to draw this piece, here is the link:

This idea came before Obsession came out, but I still think it fits, albeit magical and a slight slight little less horrifying

Cole finds himself having a stalker, he's part of the famous ninja after all and it wouldn't exactly be the first time. But it feels like he's seeing the guy literally everywhere and it's not exactly something Cole enjoys because the guy is just so weird, acting like they're old friends, very parasocial, even though Cole knows next to nothing about him and is absolutely not up for humouring the less approachable and overall pushy and rude people the ninja unfortunately sometimes find as their fans

Until the stalker finds something magical, something they can use to get everything they've wanted. Money, power, fame and fortune and respect and appreciation

Something something the Ninja go on a mission and they manage to accidentally unearth some sort of Siren spirit, though none of them thinks anything happens from it and joke how it's anticlimactic and they were rushing to deal with some now old and now very broken artifacts, oops

Though Cole doesn't leave unchanged, it's gradual, but the Siren that had been hidden away for ages really wants all the power they can possibly get for themselves; and what better way than to use a trained performer and singer, and a ninja, a pinaccle of trust and influence and he's so musically inclined and the perfect host to be able to bring Ninjago and it's Elemental Masters to it's knees

People can't just ignore a Siren Song after all

This idea and art hit me like a freight train a few days back and I've only had time on my hands

A fresh Commission Sheet for you all! Prices are the same, just a change of layout

I am now free from uni for until October! Meaning, my art commissions are back open with a vengeance! I'll draw anything, I'm always down to try something new or old! I have more time on my hands!

(I'll let you know if it's something I'm not willing to do, but I don't judge! It's just gotta be legal)

Some references images for you all:

I have a few different styles and I am down to try something new if you're willing to be a guinea pig! I do manga, am skilled at comics so if you're interested in that, we can talk about that form of alternative pricing

I work with budgets, I'll be open from the get go about pricing and there's zero pressure at any point, you can pull out up to the moment of payment with no harm no foul! It's fun, it's art and I want to be able to provide something that you want and love!

If you're interested, feel free to message me wherever! My socials are all linked below! I am also on Discord (DM if you'd like my user)

If you want an alternative method of communication, or have no idea where to start, feel free to email me! We can go from there, I can help you through the commission process step by step, dw! And there's no pressure if you just have questions but don't want art, I'm here for that too

[email protected]

I hope you all have a lovely day and maybe I'll hear from you soon! 👀💙

(p.s feel free to share your own creative exploits with me I love seeing that type of stuff, convo doesn't have to even be commission related, tell me about things!)

Last one

Have a pre sketch sketch where an idea for a brainworm hits, but I don't wanna sit down rn and draw it out because I'm tired and I can work on it tomorrow probably (after commissions), yes it's Cole angst

Something something, Lloyd being the Master of Energy and Life, and Cole being the other side of the same coin, life and nature and Earth, an element that's wide reaching just like roots on a tree

Lloyd being a Conduit of the Source Dragons, visions that show the future in clearer detail, a much more controlled gift(?) because as the Green Ninja, he's able to mediate and manage the flow of power moving through him much more precisely

And Cole, as connected to the world as Lloyd, if not more so through the Earth. Master of the very land beneath everyone's feet, since without Earth there literally is no Ninjago. Then something happens (bad guy, spell gone wrong, connection to the Sources getting corrupted, something something) and that links Cole into a similar connection to what Lloyd is experiencing with his Source Visions

And for Cole, it's like being forced into a rushing river of power and visions and scenes that he can't make heads or tales of, there's no control there, no real awareness of when a new vision hits, or even being asked for a possible prophecy can cause one to surface. It wakes him from his sleep, has him zoning out; even if the visions, the prophecies, are sometimes few and far between, it's exhausting to see things he can't understand and be unable to stop the prophecy coming

But what he sees always eventually come to pass, the riddle of a vision always makes sense in the end

Give him a notepad during a prophecy and he's able to scribble out words, draw sketches with hands that don't feel like his own, loose phrases or riddles or haikus that relate to what Cole sees, but he never remembers writing anything down, his fingers are still stained with graphite or ink afterwards though
