Ok, so I just have to say that I love that they included Farewell comic at the end and sooo many drawing tips. My favorite one so far? “Draw the shell on the turtle, not the turtle in the shell”. Why? Well it just makes so much sense and, as you may see in the speedpaint video below, until now I did just opposite (even when I just drew from references)…

It will be a little long, sorry.

Alright, first things first: I am really sorry for my English. It's not my native language and I try my best, but when I write something (in any language), I change my sentences every 10 seconds and my mind even faster. I try to avoid mistakes, but those may happen (a lot), so if you find any of them, please kindly let me know. I will appreciate it and I will correct them.

Anyway important time: - Those kinds of messages (as the one, which Dee received here) sent via DM/comment are just phishing attempts, which have happened here on tumblr already for some time. - Accounts which sent them are hacked. - Tumblr support don't use discord, microsoft teams or whatsapp. Also, no valid help support would ask other users to contact someone in DM on their behalf. - As long as you do not use the links/contact details provided in the DM/photo, your account is safe.

That being written, I guess I should explain myself. I was not planning to do a phishing awareness one-shot, like ever. Those panels were planned for a completely different purpose, but in the middle of their creation I came to the conclusion that I did not like the outcome at all (and I still don't), and what was worse, that I stopped enjoying working on them. To be honest, I felt overwhelmed by the concept of correcting them and, as I draw only for fun, I abandoned this project and switched to some anatomy lessons and drawing other things. I was completely ready to bury those panels in my procreate forever, but then I received this scam DM for a second time in less than three weeks (and I do not even post so much). And it just breaks my heart that some people have something that they cherish for months or even years, some place that they feel safe enough to express themselves or their passion, and then, someone just hacks them or scams them and it is all lost. So long story short: this second phishing attempt just pushed me to go back to those sketches and just clean them up a little with changes just in dialogs. This is why some panels may feel a little off, sorry. But I still wanted to keep them in the theme of AU, which has been in my mind for sometime already, and I may or may not create it someday.

And now, can anyone please kindly explain to me why Donnie used his BOOTYYYSHAKER9000 for a password in like two episodes in which he says it to other people? And then use it as a username for an MMO game (probably more often than once, as it is something which may be hard to remember after just one conversation, and everybody somehow knows that BOOTYYYSHAKER9000 IS Donnie)? Why didn't he change it in between telling it to his brothers / the leader of hacker-teenage-criminals (whichever happened first as episodes seem to be released out of order)? Come on, this is not safe at all. He may have a whole vault for a comic with like 4 levels of verification, but still fails with the security of his own tech.
