Today was Papatendo's birthday! To celebrate, I drew him on his way to share things he learned from highly-respected, board-certified PhD's. Thanks for inspiring me to look up at the stars (or the lights in the smoke detectors) and ponder the possibilities, Daddio. You're a legend. #miketendo #art #illustration #characterdesign #cartoon #happybirthday #dad #papatendo
If you don't know who this is, do you live under a rock?! Mike AKA Miketendo is the brain behind every Big Buck World Championship theme and SO MUCH MORE. His creative mind is truly astonishing. Give him a high five when you see him in Chicago this year. He loves a good high five. 🙏 #BBWC #BuckHunter #Miketendo 📸 @selfportraitp
Just some good ol' fashioned requests. Anybody up for some Diddy Kong Racing? #miketendo #art #illustration #drawing #characterdesign #cartoon #fanart #nintendofanart #requests #nintendo #diddykong #dkcrew #tulip #flower #spring
I may not be a strong athlete, but I do have strong opinions about college mascots. That said, I took last night's #NCAA Championship as inspiration to give @boilerball's #PurduePete and @uconnmbb's #JonathanTheHusky a little makeover. (Thanks to Purdue alumni/friend of the show/brother-in-law @ltphildoraines for the suggestion. Sorry about the loss, bud.) #miketendo #art #illustration #drawing #characterdesign #cartoon #fanart #college #collegebasketball #purdue #uconn #mascot #redesign
It may shock you to learn this - but as a child, I was not known for my athletic prowess during recess. No, rather me and the other kids recovering from kickballs to the face spent our time dreaming up animated crime fighting teams comprised of muscular wolves. It's not a furry thing, okay? It was the 90's. All the animals had abs back then. Anyway, this "Wolf Squad" was inspired by that. #miketendo #art #illustration #drawing #cartoon #characterdesign #90s #wolves #90scartoons #wolf
New format alert! For this stream, I did fan art of viewers' original characters! My sincere thanks to @joshmcganntaylor and @susiebrewsie for trusting me with their beautiful brain babies. Odie the Bum and Folger were both super fun to draw. #miketendo #art #illustration #drawing #cartoon #characterdesign #fanart
What I have for you today, Chef, is a self-indulgent two-course fusion dish highlighting belated recognition. A celebration of #marioday (Mar 10) paired with a little tribute to the late, great #akiratoriyama. Please enjoy. #miketendo #art #illustration #drawing #characterdesign #fanart #mario #supermario #nintendo #dragonball #dragonballz #anime #manga
No stream tonight (3/4), friendos - I'm taking a sushi making class! To make it up to you, I made this Caskit x Skull Trumpet emote. Still not sure if it'll work at teeny tiny scale. Some adjustments may be needed. In any case, have a dootiful day! #miketendo #art #illustration #characterdesign #cartoon #doot #skulltrumpet #emote
Mikelibs returns - with an adventurous twist! Chat helped me fill out the list of key words/names, and I ran with it. Would you watch this cartoon? Who are you rooting for? #miketendo #art #illustration #drawing #characterdesign #mikelibs #madlibs #adventure #quest #floatie #orange #penguin
The 1 character, 3 styles challenge returns! Talk about a curve ball! Instead of the usual requests for Space Ghost and Dragon Ball characters, Susie hit me with a truly obscure cartoon character to try - the animated @officialfrandrescher from the intro to #TheNanny! So here she is in all her glory, as seen through (my best approximations of) the lenses of @mattogroening, @macfarlaneseth, and any number of late 20's, early 30's animators. #miketendo #art #drawing #illustration #characterdesign #fanart #styleswap #thesimpsons #futurama #familyguy #americandad #rubberhose
It’s no accident that there’s one character I’ve drawn more times than any other. I count myself very lucky to love and be loved by such an entertaining muse. This faux festival poster featuring her favorite bands was originally meant to be a birthday present for @susiebrewsie, but I couldn’t stop fiddling with it, so I went with the Valentine’s backup plan. Thank you for your inspiration and patience, Sus’ - and for accepting some less than successful interpretations of your lovely visage. #miketendo #art #illustration #drawing #poster #posterdesign #festival #valentine #valentines #happyvalentinesday #valentinesday #artnouveau #design #cats #frightenedrabbit
Happy lovey shmuvey wuvey day, ya cuties. I made you a couple Valentines to profess my undying platonic love for you. Here’s the second (spicier) one.

Didn’t get to color, but still managed to spend an irresponsible amount of time last night on this #fanart for the latest #theadventurezone arc, The Adventure Zone Versus Dracula. I’ve really been enjoying @griffinmcelroy’s spooky new world - as well as @travismcelroy @mrbethere and @justinmcelroy’s new characters. Check out the podcast if you haven’t already - and don’t you DARE skip the intro song. It absolutely rips. The placement of the wolf howl and the little nod to Castlevania are just… chef’s kiss. #miketendo #art #illustration #drawing #characterdesign #cartoon #podcast
No chickens (or macaroni noodles) were harmed in the creation of these requests. #miketendo #art #illustration #characterdesign #cartoon #drawing #chicken #skunk #macandcheese #requests
Surprise! 3 new emotes - all based on things I love: @susiebrewsie, cinnamon rolls, and cringing - will be ready to use during tomorrow's stream! Subs, look forward to adding Kool-Aid Wife, Cinny, and Yeesh to your arsenal! #miketendo #art #cartoon #illustration #drawing #characterdesign #emote #emotes #selfportrait
New year, new emotes! Coming soon to the stream! #miketendo #art #cartoon #illustration #drawing #characterdesign #emote #emotes #selfportrait
Here it is - my #artvsartist / #top8 posts to wrap up 2023! Thanks for joining me on my quest to get a little better at this stuff every week. Looking forward to learning more and doing more in 2024. Happy New Year! #miketendo #artvsartist2023 #art #illustration #drawing #fanart #cartoon #characterdesign #happynewyear #2023
I surprised @susiebrewsie by making our little family into a little Ginyu Force, complete with her favorite Frieza reaction. Merry Christmas, Susie! #miketendo #art #illustration #drawing #cartoon #fanart #dragonball #dragonballz #ginyuforce #frieza #merrychristmas #gift #artistsoninstagram #anime

#Cheertendo is here! We're ringing in the season with two fantastic requests - a reindeer catching a snowflake on its tongue, and a festively plump snowflake dancing cheerily! Thanks for bearing with me while I stumbled through a bit of a clumsy stream, chat. We got there! #miketendo #art #illustration #drawing #cartoon #characterdesign #reindeer #snow #snowflake #happyholidays #merrychristmas #requests
'Tis the season, gang! Cheertendo, a chunk of Holiday-themed streams, starts next Monday! To get us into the spirit, here's a glimpse at winter in The Shire, as requested by @susiebrewsie - followed by a much, MUCH warmer scene (inspired by yours truly, post traditional Hype Train hot sauce) requested by @pseudo721! It was a fun time. Hope you can stop by the next one! #miketendo #art #illustration #drawing #characterdesign #fanart #cartoon #hobbit #thelordoftherings #thehobbit #lordoftherings #lotr #tolkien #snowman #bug #spicy #hotsauce #scorpionpepper #requests
Happy Thanksgiving, friendos! I'm thankful for you - and for the great requests you bring to the stream. Here's a penguin skiing in a tutu and two squirrels doing play-by-play as a raccoon digs through garbage. #miketendo #art #illustration #drawing #cartoon #requests #characterdesign #penguin #skiing #squirrel #raccoon #artistsoninstagram
This week's second and final request came from friend of the show and (at the time) birthday boy, @federicoenriqueread, who asked that we continue the anime theme with Pikachu riding a carousel horse. I'd just like to add that I can't believe I successfully drew a horse. Please clap. #miketendo #art #illustration #drawing #cartoon #characterdesign #fanart #pikachu #pokemon #nintendo #horse #carousel #anime #happybirthday #artistsoninstagram
Against all odds, I successfully got @susiebrewsie into Dragonball Z. One confused reaction face during the introduction of the Ginyu Force was all it took to make her a Frieza (or "Freeze") stan for life. The whole being a genocidal sociopath thing was a bit of a buzzkill, though - so she asked that I create a peace-loving Frieza from an alternate timeline where the parenting situation was a bit better. Now who wants a hug? #miketendo #art #illustration #fanart #cartoon #drawing #dragonball #dragonballz #anime #frieza #akiratoriyama #artistsoninstagram
Last night, I shook off the rust and returned to streaming with some good ol' fashioned requests! Request 1: Bowser goes good and opens an ice cream stand. (Thanks, @ltphildoraines!) Request 2: Panda pillow fight. (Thanks, @ceejaydro!) What flavor is your favorite Nintendo character? #miketendo #art #illustration #characterdesign #fanart #cartoon #drawing #bowser #nintendo #supermario #supermariobros #panda #pillowfight
For week 3 of #Frightendo, I made some jack-o-lantern designs that should (at least in theory) be possible to actually carve. If you're crazy enough to attempt Caskit, King Kai, or Garfield - first of all, forgive me in advance - but second, PLEASE let me know! I'm happy to provide high-res patterns. #miketendo #art #illustration #drawing #characterdesign #cartoon #pumpkin #jackolantern #pattern #halloween #carving #caskit #kingkai #dragonballz #anime #garfield
We went full spooky mode last night, drawing everything from creepy creepers to ghoulish giraffes to freaky footwear and beyond. In fact, I may have overdone it a bit. Sorry if this is all a bit much. I might turn the dial back down a bit next week. #miketendo #frightendo #art #illustration #characterdesign #drawing #horror #horrorart #halloween #spooky #scary
The sick day delay got me all discombobulated! Better late than never - here's your first #frightendo post of the year, gang! I had a request to not go SO spooky right away this time around, so here's a young dragon struggling with an unfortunate candy intolerance. #miketendo #art #illustration #drawing #cartoon #characterdesign #halloween #trickortreat #ghost #dragon #fart #artistsoninstagram
Back to good ol' fashioned requests! Part 2/2 @ltphildoraines has been moving house and wished to see a hermit crab that knew his pain. Please don't share this image with any shellologists, I had no idea what I was doing. #miketendo #art #illustration #characterdesign #cartoon #drawing #request #hermitcrab #moving #tired
Back to good ol' fashioned requests! Part 1/2 @ceejaydro wanted to see an adventurous young firefly being seen off by a caring parent. I hope I managed to capture to wholesomeness of that prompt here. #miketendo #art #illustration #characterdesign #cartoon #drawing #requests #firefly #bug #artistsoninstagram
When my friend and former coworker @artsysharo reached out for some help designing stickers based on her line of custom plushies, I simply had to say yes - and not just because she was holding a knife. This was a fun lil' challenge! Be sure to follow her and keep an eye out for opportunities to snag some Ronnie and Mirren swag! #miketendo #art #illustration #characterdesign #cartoon #drawing #collab #stickers #artsysharo #cow #moth #plush #plushies #artistsoninstagram
From TV animation - Slam Dunk SD Heat Up!! Super Famicom 1995 Slam Dunk centers around Hanamichi Sakuragi, who starts as a delinquent outcast, becoming the leader of a gang. Hanamichi, being very unpopular with girls, has been rejected by them fifty times. Yet, he finds out that Haruko Akagi is the girl of his dreams, and is happy when she's not scared of him like all the other girls he has asked out. Haruko Akagi, who recognizes Hanamichi's athleticism, introduces him to the Shohoku basketball team. Hanamichi was reluctant to join the team at first because he had no previous background in any sports and thought that basketball was a game for losers (also because the fiftieth girl rejected him for a basketball player). Sakuragi, despite his immaturity and hot temper, proves to be a natural athlete with potential and joins the team in order to impress Haruko and prove that he is worthy of her. Kaede Rukawa — Sakuragi's bitter rival (both on the basketball court and love, even when Rukawa doesn't acknowledge Haruko's crush on him), the star rookie and a "girl magnet" - joins the team at the same time. Hisashi Mitsui, an ex-junior high school MVP (Most Valuable Player), and Ryota Miyagi, a short but fast player, both also rejoin the team and together these four struggle to complete team captain Takenori Akagi's dream of making Shohoku the national champion. Together, these misfits gain publicity and the once little known Shohoku basketball team becomes an all-star contender in Japan. #slamdunk #anime #superfamicom #snes #retrogames #miketendo #nba
Ever seen faces in random objects? Apparently, that’s called pareidolia and on last night’s stream, I used posts from r/pareidolia to create an army of little guys. Laughs were had and lore was written. Which of the Pareidolia Pals are you today? #miketendo #art #illustration #characterdesign #cartoon #drawing #pareidolia #facesinobjects #artistsoninstagram
Catching up on stuff I promised friends and family I'd draw for them: Part 2/2 Showtime, Synergy! Jerrica isn't just the name of Jem's non-earring'd alter ego, it's also the name of my dear friends' @lotr_fan_76 and @champagnezack's precious ball of fur and energy. Here she is, blasting off to greet them at the door. #miketendo #art #illustration #drawing #cartoon #characterdesign #cat #jemandtheholograms #petportrait #artistsoninstagram
Catching up on stuff I promised friends and family I'd draw for them: Part 1/2 My brother-in-law's special lady, Angela asked for a tattoo design featuring a sea turtle and some tropical flowers. So here he is - bringing healthy doses of late summer vibes! Angela seemed pretty stoked about him, so I'll be sure to share a story when he gets immortalized in dermis. #miketendo #art #illustration #drawing #tattoodesign #seaturtle #tropical #flowers #artistsoninstagram
On tonight's menu: famous mouse prepared 3 ways. Can you name the 3 styles? Spoiler alert: Yes, you absolutely can. #miketendo #art #illustration #characterdesign #cartoon #fanart #1character3styles #onecharacterthreestyles #styleswap #crossover #mickeymouse #disney #mickey #artistsoninstagram
Drawing stuff that makes you happy: Part 3/3. When life gets hectic, @susiebrewsie winds down with quirky crime-solving comedies she's watched a million times. Lately, her comfort watch of choice has been #Monk, starring Tony Shalhoub. Honorable mentions to Psych, Fringe and Burn Notice. #miketendo #art #illustration #cartoon #characterdesign #fanart #drawing #artistsoninstagram #tonyshalhoub #caricature
Drawing stuff that makes you happy: Part 2/3. @ltphildoraines has a deep appreciation for animated objects with jobs. With that in mind, he requested a jackhammer that's working hard and just loving it. Sounds like a @pixar short just waiting to happen. #miketendo #art #illustration #drawing #cartoon #characterdesign #artistsoninstagram #jackhammer
Drawing stuff that makes you happy: Part 1/3. Admittedly this one was my pick - and it's a combo pack of entertaining things that our cat Samwise does: sitting like a little prince in our armchairs, proudly displaying his benippled gut, and extending an irresistible "clover foot". I feel I've accurately captured Sam's ever-present aura of royal self-indulgence here. I may have to make it into some merch - even if I'm the only person who buys it. #miketendo #art #illustration #cartoon #characterdesign #drawing #artistsoninstagram #catsofinstagram #cat #siamese #siamesecat
For last night's stream, I returned to a well of inspiration I haven't visited for a couple years - @artofsalinas's son Elijah's Monster Book. Chat agreed, this one-legged creature with a particularly patriotic pharyngeal protrusion was just too wild to ignore! What should we name it? #miketendo #art #illustration #drawing #creaturedesign #kidart #monster #creature #redraw
On this week's stream, I borrowed inspiration from @tenhun's recent community-fueled, single-color art challenges. I included "black & white" on a whim when making the color randomizer wheel thinking it was a long shot - but sure enough, we got it. Chat leapt into action after that and supplied me with a long list of black and/or white items to draw. This was super fun and I'm happy with the result. Definitely gonna revisit this format in the future. Maybe we'll end up with something a bit more colorful. #miketendo #art #illustration #characterdesign #cartoon #drawing #requests #limitedcolorpalette #challenge #blackandwhite #mashup

Next up in the “Help, I have no Threads content” challenge: another sad thing! This one comes courtesy of @ferroussoul, whom I had to let down by not drawing a cloud of aardvark mist. I hope this is still acceptable, Jonathan. This is part 2/3. Pop over to @threadsapp to see the full set! #miketendo #art #illustration #cartoon #characterdesign #requests #aardvark #sad
Last week, I joined @threadsapp and in an act of desperation, asked my followers to provide an adjective, a noun, and a verb. The first to answer the call for help was @8bit.dad - who prompted this emotionally devastated burrito. Yes, I know he's not exactly half-eaten. My apologies, Dave - I needed some face real estate. I did invent tin foil shorts, though. So that's something. This is part 1/3. If you'd like to see the rest of this week's posts early, hop over to my Threads account! Now that's engagement, baby! #miketendo #art #illustration #cartoon #characterdesign #requests #threads #burrito #emotional
The #colorwheelchallenge might be my favorite online art trend yet! Shout-out to the kind idea contributors on my Instagram story and Twitch chat for their assistance in finishing the first clockwise half. For the second half, I'm turning to you, dear commenters.

As promised, here's the second free coloring book page. At chat's request, it's a cool fish playing a guitar! You can find a high-res version of this marine musician along with the unicorn from a few days ago at the link my bio! Have fun and remember to share your masterpiece. Use whatever medium you prefer, no time limits, no winners/losers, no pressure! Just tag me (@miketendo) and use #miketendocolor! I'll share everything I receive in a special story highlight! #miketendo #illustration #art #characterdesign #cartoon #coloring #coloringbook #fish #guitar #guitarist #cool
My friends' son, Link LOVES to color - but has been hard-pressed to find a coloring book that features all of his favorite things: silly characters, unicorns, rainbows and watermelon. I'm here to correct this injustice with a special coloring page for him - and the rest of you. In fact, this is one of two high-res coloring pages I'm releasing for free this week! (Link in the bio) I hope you'll have fun with them and share your masterpieces with me. Use whatever medium you prefer, no time limits, no winners/losers, no pressure! Just tag me (@miketendo) and use #miketendocolor! I'll share everything I receive in a special story highlight! #miketendo #illustration #art #characterdesign #cartoon #coloring #coloringbook #unicorn #rainbow #watermelon #silly
I've been wanting to do one of these #sixfanarts posts forever. Fortunately, the Tendo Friendos had some great requests at the ready. Thanks for that, gang! Sorry if I didn't get to yours - but we'll definitely do it again some time. This was fun. Just wish I had a liiiittle more time to do color. Maybe next time. #miketendo #illustration #characterdesign #art #drawing #cartoon #fanart #6fanarts #mario #luigi #supermariobros #nintendo #korok #zelda #thelegendofzelda #tearsofthekingdom #fairlyoddparents #nickelodeon #nicktoons #ludo #labyrinth #jimhenson #darkwingduck #disney #grimace #mcdonalds
This might be the most niche gag I've ever done, but it made me chuckle, so here it is. In celebration of my recent vacation, I entered the Groceryverse and made the delightfully scrungly pig from Iceland's @bonus.is stores change places with America's most notable hog merchant, the @pigglywigglymidwest pig. Enjoy. #miketendo #art #illustration #drawing #graphicdesign #fanart #parody #logo #iceland #midwest #grocery #groceryshopping #pigglywiggly #bĂłnus #bonusiceland #store #styleswap
Back with another redraw of some art I made as wee lad. I managed to avoid getting bullied for the most part growing up, but you wouldn’t guess that based on the number of drawings I made about short nerds like myself being picked on. Weird kid. Editor’s note for the Twitch Friendos: I changed the bigger rabbit’s head between streaming and posting. It was all wrong. #miketendo #art #illustration #characterdesign #cartoon #kidart #redraw #basketball #rabbits
Here's a hot take - #thelegendofzelda #tearsofthekingdom is a VERY good video game. So much about this game is entertaining, but the idea of putting a fight on hold so you can attach bombs (and other goodies) to your arrows just really tickles me. So here's #link doing just that. #miketendo #art #illustration #cartoon #drawing #fanart #videogames #nintendoswitch #nintendo #zelda @nintendoamerica
My first-ever #mermay piece was a tricky one! Today's prompt is #heartbreak, a topic I don't tend to explore much in my art - but getting out of the ol' comfort zone is important! @susiebrewsie's comment about her starting to look like an art nouveau absinthe poster ala #alphonsemucha or #henriprivatlivemont really stuck in my mind, so I ran with it. I may revisit her later to make her a bit more authentic in that regard, but for now, I'm cool with how this turned out. Thanks for the challenge, @mermay_official! 🧜‍♀️ #drawmermay2023 #mermay2023 #miketendo #illustration #art #characterdesign #cartoon #mermaid #artistsoninstagram #absinthe #design #graphicdesign #vintage
1000+ Instagram Follower Celebration: Part 2/2! Many artists I look up to on the internet preach the value of drawing every day. I'm still not quite to that point, but having an audience to interact with has really helped build the requisite sense of accountability. For that reason, I consider YOU a big part of my growth as an artist over the past 3 years. Thanks for being here! (Swipe for comparison) My second-ever stream request came from my lovely wife, @susiebrewsie, who challenged me to create a "Party Dragon". The design process for this 2.0 version was made more challenging by the fact that I was falling victim to a cold, live on camera - but I think the dragon's better now. Fortunately, I am too. #miketendo #illustration #characterdesign #cartoon #drawing #art #dragon #party #rave #partyanimal
1000+ Instagram Follower Celebration: Part 1/2! Whether you just jumped on the bus or you've been with me since the beginning, THANK YOU for joining me on this art journey. To celebrate, I revisited the first two drawings I ever streamed. (Swipe for comparison) My first-ever stream request came courtesy of @ceejaydro - the world's preeminent @fionahippo fan. Naturally, she wanted to see the girl. I was doing looser sketches without color back then, but dang. If this ain't proof that regular practice makes you a stronger artist, I don't know what is. Pretty wild. #miketendo #illustration #characterdesign #cartoon #drawing #art #fiona #fionathehippo #hippo #hippopotamus @cincinnatizoo
