This #NaruGaa comic for #NaruGaaWeek2025 is waaay past overdue, but I really want to finish it. 😵‍💫

3 more faces, 4 more hair... more shading, highlights, background, text, speech bubbles, props and details left...

😭

Unfortunately, I'm not sure Hongjoong is exactly giving Nik? 🤣🤣🤣
Hongjoong and Seongwha of Ateez. Both in fur coats and jewelry.

Is anybody else obsessed with @bichobolitach.bsky.social 's Vihaan OC like I am? (Because you should be.)

Anyway, I saw this picture of Seongwha from Ateez, and I almost gasped because he was totally giving Vihaan vibes.
Seongwha, from Ateez, wearing a fur coat, impeccable jewelry, and the loveliest androgynous hairstyle. This man IS gender envy.

Did a little experiment and re-drew a picture of Seonghwa from Ateez.

I think he ended up looking more like Jinu with hella lip fillers... 🫠

Well, it's a pretty kpop boy, regardless! 🤣

(I'm honestly really pleased with how the shading turned out. 🩷)
A drawing of a pretty Asian man, with his hair twisted up to look like a heart. The pouty, plump lips resemble something out of a BL manwha / manga.

#blueskyblackout2025

Make sure to hit the feedback button on your bluesky account and tell Bluesky that you'll be participating in the blackout and why!

Here's the feedback letter that I sent to them:
I am participating in the Bluesky Blackout from Sept 21 - Sept 27, to protest the new TOS update.  I am not a creator of non-consensual pornography, nor do I enjoy looking at it. But I am well and truly aware of how banning illustrations of it will be a detriment to Bluesky. 1.) Illustrations are not people. They cannot consent, and (fictional) consent can often not be conveyed (is it an o-face or a grimace of pain? Hard to tell the difference. Let alone any BDSM material!).   2.) Bluesky's moderation system is already faulty – things that are not sexual are already being marked as sexual: how is this faulty system supposed to to tell the consent level of an illustration??  3.) People on Bluesky have already shown they are quite willing to over-report queer, trans, and poc creators. This new ban will only cause further over-policing of marginalized people. 4.) People posting will be nervous of being caught, and therefore under-tag sexual material. This will prevent people who want to avoid sexual material all together from being able to block tags they need to. We have seen this happen on Tumblr.   I respect that Bluesky is probably changing their TOS and moderation guidelines in order to bring in monetization. Of course Bluesky want to make money – thats natural. But making the platform worse for users by implementing shitty TOS porn bans is only going to drive users off the platform – and you can't monetize a platform people don't use. Please, listen to your users and figure out a better way to achieve your goals.

Okay, so apparently it's actually a game, but when I first saw the advert, I thought it was for an adult horror picture book -- and like, how cool would that be??
A game "The Sheep" by Zero Strategy Games. The game box shows a creepy-looking sheep, at night, holding a lantern in its mouth. The caption on the board game box days "Don't let them catch you sleeping.".

Work-in-progress for #NaruGaaWeek2025 .

Ignore the glare -- I just took a photo of my tablet screen. XD
The start of a comic featuring Naruto and Gaara. The bodies and clothes are drawn and there are flat colours, but the hair and face features have not been drawn in yet, nor are there any speech bubbles.

Prep for 'Day One: Confession' of NaruGaa week.

I just personally believe that Gaara gets sand in frickin' EVERYTHING. 🤣

#NaruGaa2025
Naruto: (nervous, rubbing his head, looking away from Gaara) Gaara, I'm not sure how to say this, but... Gaara: (turning towards Naruto, looking slightly panicked. His hands are clenched and his sand is panicking too) Naruto? What's wrong? Naruto: (nervous, rubbing his neck, looking at Gaara out of one eye) Don't be mad, okay? Gaara: (quite worried and panicking, a little broken heart above his head, and his sand shaped like a question mark) ! Naruto: (same image) But ever since we started dating... Gaara: (same image) Naruto...? Naruto: (eyes squeezed shut, blushing, hand outstretched in upsetness) My underwear drawer is, like, full of sand and I really hate it, you know? Naruto: (same image) Please don't be mad... Gaara: (burying his face in his hand, blushing, visible eye squeezed shut, a tear on the edge of his eye. His sand is both blushing and in the shape of an exclamation mark) WHY would you scare me like that?? Gaara: (same image) I'll be more careful with the sand omg...

Why yes, yes I am back on my Shinki x Araya bullshit.

Suffer and/or enjoy!
A poorly drawn Shinki reaching out to a much taller, poorly drawn Araya. Shinki says "Araya, I desire your embrace!". Araya bends down to speak to Shinki. He says, "okay, but why are you so little and drunk?" A caption at the bottom of the image says: Because the artist cares more about BL than accurate art!

Goddammit, three days ago I only had three of these Naruto cats.

Now I have seven, and a whole lot less money. 😖

(But fark, they're cute!! ❤️)
A picture showing 7 Naruto cats (small blind box figures of the show's characters made to look like cats). Picture also shows one small blind box acrylic standee of Gaara, a Q Posket figure of Gaara, and a modified Nendoroid doll of Gaara.

Walked into the kitchen wearing my new hat from @makohouse.bsky.social .

"Husband! Feast your eyes upon my unbearable cuteness! Mwahaha!"
A cute purple bucket hat, pictured being worn by an adorable plush bird. The hat is made of corduroy, and has yellow stars and fluffy pink clouds on it. It is ADORABLE.

...because I don't think Shinki and Moegi are actually entirely themselves, and I think if we saw Shinki now, it'd be obvious.

Look at Moegi's panels.. the first thing she says? "Konohamaru-chan". The thing Matsuri so desperately wanted to call Konohamaru. It's almost all she says, post waking up..

THIS is all we get from the sand ninjas?? Ikemoto, no!!! 😭

Tho honestly, I think there's a reason we don't see Shinki or get any info about Yodo...

This panel, when he's listening to Himawari and Kurama talk, make it looks like he's coming to a decision/resolution in that moment, as he watches her. So I think that maybe whatever he's doing with Momoshiki revolves around Himawari somehow...

I've been up all night with neck pain, migraine, and anxiety.

But my bunny rose with the morning sun, so that was an absolutely lovely way to end my sleepless night. 🩷

Boruto fanart doodle time??

My take on the Shinki Yodo Araya love triangle. XD

(For the record: Araya is totally crushing back on Shinki. They're just both idiots.)
Panel 1: Yodo stands beside Shinki, tearfully blushing. Shinki looks to the other side, with the sound effects 'flush, pound pound, raaace'. Yodo's thoughts say "the only thing worse than being able to HEAR your crush's body reacting to HIS crush..." Panel 2: Yodo's thoughts say "...is when your crush's crush is basically your annoying older brother. Ick." Yodo makes a disgusted expression while a still blushing Shinki bites his lip while gazing at an oblivious Araya. Above Shinki's head, his iron sand forms a heart.

Random doodle of my OCs, Shadow and Array.

Now I kinda want to draw a whole series of pics of Shadow trying to solve all his problems by having sex with his boyfriend. XD

Sore from training? Sex.
Too much paperwork? Sex.
Another assassination attempt? Definitely sex.

Maybe not effective, but fun!
A doodled comic of a man with short, swooshy hair (Shadow) and a man with a dark man-bun (Array). Shadow, looking miserable, says that he feels like rotting garbage. Array responds with a concerned: Oh, sweetheart. Is there anything I can do that will help? Shadow, looking miserable but hopeful, asks: Sex? Array looks skeptical: I mean... okay, but will that actually help?

Hi there! I'm Gabriella. Here's a sample of my fanart and OCs:
A Boruro 4 panel comic featuring Himawari, Chocho, Sarada, Shikadai, and Inojin. Sarada states that Himawari and Chocho are "the best. They always have my back". Shikadai grumbles that he's pretty sure Chocho and Himawari killed Sarada's ex and buried him in their garden. Inojin tells Shikadai that this reason is why Himawari and Chocho are the best, while Sarada laughs and agrees. Gaara from Naruto, having a romantic / flirty moment with the artists' OC, Kuumi. Rock Lee and Gaara from Naruto having a GaaLee moment where they both shyly wonder if it's "too early to say 'I love you' ". The artist's original characters Shadow and Array. Shadow (a small, delicate looking man) is shouting that Array asked for NO pickles on his burger, while Array (a tall, muscular man) is shy and embarrassed in the background.

Me A: what do you want?

Me B: people to engage with my OC content!!

Me A: so you're gonna make OC content for people to engage with?

Me B: No make!! Only engage!
