    Last speedpaint of the week, a black widow woman.

    When drawing this chick, I was pondering if she should be either African, Caribbean, or Brazilian, since she has a bit of an exotic design. I really need to get Dummythicc off the ground.

    Check out the progress here.

    My part for The Road to El Dorado Reanimated project.

    I managed to get the JoJo style down as well. I need to practice muscles. I also did the music, too.

  • Here’s the second speedpaint of the week.

    Since the last stream was ghosts, and the upcoming stream is based on phobias, I decided to go with a fearsome monster for this one, hence the scary-looking komodo lady. I’m proud of how she came out, even though I spent an obscene amount of time rendering her right leg, head, and mount.

    Check out the process below!

  • The first of this week’s speedpaints, the spirit of a tribal wolf woman. It’s not very Halloween-like, but I had fun drawing her. When will I ever get the chance to incorporate abstract designs into a character ever again?

    Check out the vid here:

  • Released the last speedpaint of the week today on Youtube.

    I picked a ghost bat, since this week’s Lab Stream topic will be based on ghosts, since Sunday will be October 1st.

    I also came up with an idea to solve the auction problem:

    I hope it goes well tonight.

  • So, I heard about this fruit snack from Kellogg’s of the UK called Real Fruit Winders that was sold in the 2000s. I caught wind of it when I was watching an episode of Cursed Commercials.

    And yeah, it is Cursed.

    However, I wanted to know more about some of the characters, particularly, the strawberry girl Sorbabe. I decided to draw her after looking at art from the illustrator.

    One thing to know about me is that I draw whenever a character intrigues me, or when I see bad art.

  • I’m gonna be using this site primarily for original content. Sure, there might be some fan art, but that’s only for myself, and I don’t think that’s very likely. But anyway, here’s what I have planned for the future:

    • Sketches, studies, and other things documenting my art journey.
    • I plan on having monthly patron shoutouts where I have one of my characters read a list of my top Gold Patrons. And yeah, the character will be animated. This idea is subject to change, of course.
    • Weekly DJ mixes. I seriously want to get into VFX and VJing for this. I want to make DJ mixes with those 90s-styled visuals.
    • Tutorials. I do not believe I’m at the level to give tutorials, but I have noticed that there are some people who want to learn how to draw my way.
    • Pixel art. Add video games to the list.
    • Yearly calendars. I’ve been wanting to make a calendar for a while. Add stickers and apparel to the list. Figurines, too.
    • More graffiti.
    • More 3D stuff and motion graphics.

    As for projects…

    • The Bachelor’s Pad. Illustrations, comics, and animations influenced by space-age lounge from the 1960s. Definitely restarting this one. I still love the aesthetics of the Swinging Sixties, and I have quite a few ideas. I’ll also try to learn different styles to match the feel of the time period.
    • Party Like A Rockstar, Kick a Little Ass. This one, I’ve been wanting to do for a long time. Illustrations, comics, and animations influenced by skater culture and comedies from the late 1990s and early 2000s, particularly from Adam Sandler. Male-oriented and unashamed of it.
    • A Night at the Pool Hall. Same as the other two, except inspired by jazz music and hip-hop.
    • Dummythicc. Y’all know this one. African animal girls twerking.

    That’s all I have planned for now. Expect more in the future.

    I have returned! About a year ago, someone hacked into my website and basically wiped out everything. Tortoisesensei.com was all gone.

    Hopefully, that won’t happen again.

    To my new followers on social media and people new to the site, allow me to introduce myself.

    I go by the name Tansau, which is a Wing Chun term, meaning “dispersing hand” in Chinese. I am an illustrator, animator, electronic musician, video editor, and beginning 3D modeler. I specialize in drawing toony, anime-influenced anthropomorphic animal (and sometimes plant and object) girls with thick thighs, big asses, and big boobs, and as for music, I’m still trying to find my niche, but I am a fan of house, techno, drum n’ bass, IDM, downtempo, big beat, breakbeat, VGM, future funk, chillout, trip hop, hip hop, ambient, acid jazz, and many others.

    In addition to electronica and anime, I an also into professional wrestling, alternative rock, candid camera-styled reality television, action films, and video games.

    Even though we are in the age of social media, I still prefer personal websites, and I plan to use this to showcase my art, my music, and my journey through both art and music. It may not as much attention as Twitter, but we’ll see how that goes with Elon Musk as the CEO.

    I’ll try to keep this site updated as much as I can, and try to keep this gig going, because I’ve worked in retail for seven years. I ain’t doing that shit again.
