OK Y'all, I'm About To Re-start An Old Ninjago Animation I Never Finished. I Feel Like I've Progressed

OK y'all, I'm about to re-start an old Ninjago animation I never finished. I feel like I've progressed in my art style and I want to give it another go.

The only problem is, I haven't quite figured out how to draw Serpentine faces.

Like, they look fine, I guess, in my old style, but...

Are there any artists out there who have some tips on how to draw snake faces and Serpentine in general? Are there any artists' work I could use as a reference to get my shapes right?

Any help would be appreciated.

YEEESSSSSS!!!!! I LOVE THEM! BEAUTIFUL DESIGNS!!!

No one is safe from me giving a child/ multiple children to them… not even the robots of the group

(Aka I remembered that MiniPix7 was a thing for only like 10 episodes, and also that the falcon was seemingly just forgotten by the writers, so I revived both and handed them to Pixane without their permission :])

Thank you so much!

I just had to draw the two sillies. I think your Akari deserves some ice-cream.

(I absolutely adore your Akari's design! She is so pretty! I loved drawing the swirl details on her robe.)

You've inspired me to revisit my OC. I can't wait to do more art of her in the future.

Her name was Akari :')

So I just had a very wholesome and unexpected evening

So I was watching some vids about the Olympic Muffin Man, and amongst the videos, I found one with the recipe! I HAD to go to the store and get the ingredients I didn't have on hand. As I was driving through my neighborhood, I saw a lady walking a cute, fluffy dog. The dog looked just like my late dog Kati. For some reason, I actually stopped, rolled down my window, and said, "Your dog is so cute! She reminds me of my old dog." And the nice lady walked up to me and held her dog up to my window so I could pet her. I hadn't expected that! After I gave the pup a few head scratches, I said thank you and continued on my way. After I got to the store and found what I needed, I was headed to the checkout when "I Want it That Way" started playing over the music speakers. I started to sing it quietly to myself, chuckling a bit. And then, as I approached the register, I heard the guy who was busy cleaning the store singing it too. Not quietly. He wasn't embarrassed, he didnt care if anyone heard him. I started to sing a little louder, too. He came over to the register so I could pay for my groceries, we both said "Hi," And then, as I was paying, he began to sing again. So I sang along, too. Now that I'm back home, I've gotten to thinking. I could have easily just thought, "Oh, that's a cute dog," and kept driving to the store. I didn't have to sing along with that store worker, but I did. There is something so beautiful about just interacting with people. As much as I like my alone time, I like to be around people just as much. In Genesis, God stated that "it was not good for man to be alone," so he made Eve. We weren't made to be isolated and alone. We were made to experience and enjoy life together.

So don't be afraid to be yourself around others. You might get to pet a cute puppy or harmonize with a random store worker. :)

Rebloging this because I'm really proud of it, and I don't think it got seen much the first time.

(Is that selfish? Rebloging my own stuff so more people can see it? I don't know much about Tumbler etiquette.)

Ninjago Treasure Planet Au

TW: wounds and blood

(I just love them so much, guys! 🥹)

So, I watched "Treasure Planet" and, um....I made this. Took me forever cause I just kept adding more frames as I went. Will I expand on this AU? Maybe? I already have a couple writing projects going at the moment so it might be a bit before I get to it.

Funnily enough, when in the middle of animating, I saw this comic posted by @crypticscarecrow that is also a "Treasure Planet" Ninjago AU. Great minds think alike! Can't wait to see more of your version! It looks quite intriguing!

You can find their comic here.

BONUS

(Don't worry, Cole is indeed concerned for Nya. He's just not passing up a chance to tease the new guy.)

In my version, Nya is the captain of a solar ship, and the rest of the ninja are her crew. Jay joins as a mechanic for the solar engines so he can try to earn some money. Edna was not particularly keen on the idea of her son going to space, but Jay and Ed finally convinced her to let him go. Selling junk doesn't make much money, and Jay isn't the type of person to just sit around when he can do something to help others, especially his parents.

In this scene, the crew is hiding out in a cave after a particularly nasty fight with the dreaded pirate crew of the "Misfortune's Keep," which is led by the infamous pirate captain Nadakahn. Nya was, unfortunately, injured quite badly in the fight that ensued. After their ship "The Bounty" was commandeered, the crew found shelter on the planet below them.

The crews positions are as follows.

Nya: Captin

Kai: First Mate

Zane: Helmsman

Cole: Amunitions Officer

Lloyd: Seaman

Jay: Engine Mechanic

I am so late to this....but it's finally ready!

For the Ninjago Fic Fest 2024

Finding Balance

After he is retrieved from the lighthouse by his brother and new friends, Echo must adjust to his new life. Even though his new home and family are amazing, it's still so different from what he's used to. Maybe a walk in the city will help clear his mind.

Again, so sorry it's late, the story kinda of spiraled into a longer and longer project. I have more chapters coming soon, I just have to edit them.

@ninjago-fic-fest I don't know if this technically counts as part of your event since I was late, but I figured I'd let you know it's posted now.
