Happy Birthday to the Rise movie, 2 whole years, man how time truly flies.

If you'd told me 2 years ago that I would still be knee deep in the trenches of an intense hyper-fixation of TMNT of all things, I highly doubt I would have believed you.

Yet here we are, my best friend had decided that "hey, you'll probably like this show I've been watching..." from there the rest is history. Every so often you come across a piece of art or media that just lights a creative fire inside of you that refuses to be ignored. The Rise series as a whole has been responsible for inspiring so much growth in my art, whether that be more techniques to push pose designs even further, become more daring with composition and finally, finally have human anatomy studies make sense.

I've also met some truly wonderful people thanks to the Rise fandom, I've not been bold enough to reach out to artists/writers I admire in the past but after taking the plunge and becoming apart of some community servers I've been lucky enough to forge some special friendships with some truly wonderful people. (Y'all know who you are and I love you so so SO much.)

Happy Birthday to a movie and by extension series that continues to inspire me with its incredible directing, genuinely hilarious writing and warm, tender heart.

Keep writing, drawing, painting, posting and talking about this truly special little series and maybe one day we'll see get to see it light up our screens again.

Disappointed:

Splinter: I’m very disappointed in you, Raphael.

Tot Leo: C’mon dad, don’t get mad at Raph!

Splinter: Leonardo, stop telling Raphael it’s okay for him to punch you! He needs to learn not to punch people!

Tot Leo: But I’m not a person!

Tot Raph: Which is why I punched him!

[bagels-and-cream-cheese333]

Done:

*POV: The turtles are doing ninja training with Draxum and the 4 of them are not happy about it*

Baron Draxum: Anyone d-

Mikey: Depressed?

Raph: Drained?

Donnie: Dumb?

Leo: Disliked?

Baron Draxum: -Done with their training…What is wrong with you people…?

If you could choose only one sentient being or friendly animal in the space time continuum to spend a day with, no limits on resources or requirements for how you spend that time, who would you choose and what would you do?

(If you asked me that today, I'd choose a quiet day with my late grandpa, so I could learn woodworking from him and listen to him infodump. And get a hug from him. It's been a while.)

I'd probably bring back my Gram Gram too :( i'd want to get her advice on leadering, and..probably just get another hug. Some reassurance i guess. I'd take her out for some fun, and when she has to go, we'd watch a movie until she faded away.

Presenting: The Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie VHS: Clamshell Edition!

Okay, so I have been dying to share this project since I completed it last November, but I've been waiting until I was a little more active on my socials. And now I am!

I was inspired by thecolinstein on instagram to make this. I found his version back in 2023 and I wanted to buy it, but then I thought, hey, I could just make my own how I want it! With a clamshell case! How hard could it be?

Very hard, as it turns out.

That's not to discourage anyone from trying themselves. There were just a lot of roadblocks unique to my own process. Like the fact that I went through, like, five tapes recording the video file because I thought they were bad tapes. Nope, it was my stupid "smart" tv trying to automatically adjust the aspect ratio that was making the picture black out periodically. And before I got a computer that DIDN'T take 1 million years to boot up, it was difficult to design the cover and labels too.

Here's the playback:

Yes, I did record it at (almost) full aspect ratio, not 4:3, but 1.85:1 because that's how I'd watch it (I didn't want cropping on certain scenes and I REALLY didn't want letterboxing). And those glitchy parts on CJ's face are from my phone's camera, not the recording itself (you have no idea the heart attack I had before I double-checked lol)

Now, obviously since there's nothing on the tape to say that this is just a fanmade product, I will NOT be recreating this VHS for sale, not like thecolinstein (he has disclaimers on his). I'm not sure of the legality of selling my version. My whole intent was to simply make it look like the real deal, like you could find this in a garage sale bargain pile and believe it might have once been widely distributed. Also, I cannot be bothered to try taping the video file again, you can't make me lol. This was just a passion project. But I do hope I've inspired someone else!
