[swirlheart]

[swirlheart]

Did a screenshot redraw, laptop started to lag, the usual

Here’s the original for comparison

And some Leo doodles

[swirlheart]

couldn’t end 2022 off without one last thing huh

[swirlheart]

Y’all look at these human designs for Mikey and Donnie

[swirlheart]

I am here with my redesigns of the rise boys because I got bored :]

Leo is a sore loser confirmed

Anyways starting w the oldest, Raph!

I wanted to mix in some of Time Woods design cause I thought it was cool but also I'm attached to my tabby stripes designs stuff. Also his eyes are like that because when raoh was possessed one of her eyes was turned pink and I thought it'd be a cool element to keep. Also yes raph is tall I take no criticism

Second oldest, Donnie! (Once again I take no criticism blame rotten reflections for that hc)

no I don't have a favourite shhh

I dint have much to say other than snootatello 👍

Next Leo!

Stripes go brr

I can't think of a way to describe Leo's style but it's lots of baggy clothing and layers like this:

I can't draw it the best yet but trust me it looks good on my Pinterest board of references (I drew the flannel pattern by hand please appreciate me)

Now mikey,

Desaturated him a bit, gave star a more orange shade of mask and messed with its spots and everything, plus the blue eyes from 12 mikey

(Neos where inspired by someone I know online they're the best and I adore star, it's so cool)

[swirlheart]

Things I Need To See If When We Get Rottmnt Season 3

-More Apritello (wait don't leave yet!)

-It doesn't need to be romantic (although they have such a good dynamic I honestly wouldn't mind if they did as long as it was done right)

-but seriously, they're just chaotic together and I need more of that

-Along those lines I also feel like there needs to be more one on one time with April and Leo as well as April and Raph

-Like??

-Both duos are so good and they just don't get enough screen time at all

-Also, I need the turtles + Splinter to actually meet April's parents

-Did I know I needed this until I saw the disaster twins psyched for a nice dinner in their matching sweater vests? No.

-Do I need it now more than ever? Y e s.

-I also need them to actually acknowledge the events of the movie and not just brush past it like it was no big deal. Let it come up later. Let the rest of the turtles be just-barely-noticeably a lot more overprotective when it comes to Leo. Don't tell me they would almost lose him like that and continue letting him be reckless all the time.

-GIVE. ME. MORE. CASEY.

-You CANNOT just add her to the mix and dip like that. I NEED to see how she fits in with the group. Will her and Donnie be completely unhinged together? Absolutely. Will Splinter dote on her like she's his daughter and she'll absolutely love it and swear to make him proud? Probably. Will her and April be an absolute girl boss team together and probably have sleepovers while gossiping about whatever? Y e s. Will she be completely unused to getting positive reinforcement and being part of an actual family who loves her even if she makes mistakes? For sure. But will she adore it? Um, yes!

-Leader Leo Leader Leo Leader Leo Leader Leo Leader Leo Leader Leo Leader Leo Leader Leo

-Will this poor boy be immediately overwhelmed with this responsibility and continuously doubt himself? Yes. But Raph would be giving him tips and pointers the entire time because he KNOWS how stressful it is to keep everyone in line and stop them from getting hurt or worse. Let Leo come to terms with his role and realize he's actually really good at it! Let him be so relieved to finally feel like he has a place on the team and isn't actually a useless screw-up.

-Alternatively, show us how Raph feels about this development! Will he be proud of his little brother for stepping up? Of course! But maybe, just maybe, he goes through some withdrawals? Maybe he has a hard time remembering that he's not in charge anymore and Leo is the one calling the shots. Maybe he feels a little lost on his place in the team now that he isn't the leader. Would his brothers immediately reassure him that he's still irreplaceable and is just as important to the team now as he was before? Yes, but it still might take him some time to get used to that.

-Mikey Magic. Magic Mike. (Jk)

-You really can't tell us Mikey is some powerful mystic warrior and not expect us to want more answers. Can he control it? Or is it fuelled by fear and desperation? Can he learn to harness his power without his brothers absorbing the energy with him? If done correctly, does this potentially open the stage to Mikey being able to time travel whenever he chooses? That could be interesting.

-Soft Shell Donnie

-Maybe it's just my desire for angst, but I think we should see more of Donnie without his battle shell. It would certainly make for more dramatic fight scenes if that vulnerability was exposed more.

Here are a few more minor ones that have zero plot relevance but I just think would be neat:

-Raph should get some sort of pet

-The turtles should occasionally make little chirps and hisses like real turtles do

-April should have a bigger wardrobe

-We should see Mikey actually graffiti something (I know he's the artsy one but have we ever actually seen him paint something??)

-I would love an episode centered around a hatred fueled disaster twin prank war. (Each prank gets progressively more crazy and dangerous until the others have to eventually interfere so they don't kill each other)

-Let Donnie perform a musical number like the absolute theater kid he is (other than a rap?)

-Random, but I also think it'd be funny if Mayhem had a growth spurt and was actually meant to be the size of a tiger. Plus April could ride him into battle like the badass she is.

-We should have a cool underwater fight scene! They're literally turtles! Plus, I think softshell turtles are supposed to be suuuper fast swimmers and I want to see that

A few more people have suggested:

-Raph/Donnie duo! We need a red and purple episode now!!

-Give. Donnie. His. Fashion. Montage. Seriously, we were robbed

-Alternatively to Donnie's musical performance, give us an entirely musical episode! We know they all have amazing voices!

That's all I could think of for now. Feel free to chime in any ideas you have!

[swirlheart]

I finally posted a tmnt work on ao3!!! 

There’s a small bit of plot at the beginning, but it is mostly just another chatfic. I’m not invested in it yet, just using it as a practice for some of the characters.

[swirlheart]

*Sniffs his bald purple head* Yup that’s some middle child stank right there.

Part two coming after I finish midterms!

[swirlheart]

*insert spooky Halloween music here*

anyways, Mikey is a skeleton, Leo is lou jitsu, Donnie is a mad scientist plus frankinsteins (? Spelling idk?) monster hybrid + Raph is a weird mix of a Knight and the headless horseman hence the pumpkin he's wearing

Feel free to use this as a wallpaper but no reuploads to online etc

Prompt 7 PIZZA

Gotta draw everyone’s favourite part dude

[swirlheart]

coughtwinscough

[swirlheart]

everyone being upset and slandering hunter's hair, saying flapjack wouldn't be able to pull on the strand anymore

well, good and bad news

[swirlheart]

Leo: I've decided to leave my past behind me, so if I owe you money... I'm sorry... but I've moved on

[swirlheart]

Head empty.

Just Donnie's progressively weirder battle cries/exclamations

There's obviously a lot more but I'm too lazy to document the rest of them.
