Wait wait wait!!!!!! You’re the author of fracturing time!!???? I love you’re fanfic!!!! Oh my god I love that Mikey has a flower shop!!! And his relationship with Leatherhead!!!!!!! <3

He’s infodumping abt his flowers yet again, but Leatherhead loves listening to him!!

I am ahhh and thank you!! I’m so glad you love the fic and my inclusion of the flowershop and Leatherhead! He really deserved to be in Rise and I wanted to have him somewhere in one of my works lol

Look what I found!

My big boy leatherhead! I quite like his design and it's similar to his tmnt 2012 version, such a distinguished gentleman indeed!

So when I decided what I was going to do for chapter 3 of “Lost in Time”, I had planned on doing a Leatherhead chapter. I thought the inclusion of the big dude would be fun, but had no idea how to draw his body type. I ended up using a character reference for the gator. The proportions on the two figures looked great because of it! I also gave the gator a friendship bracelet which would be shown in the next cover art with 2012 Mikey!

Happy 2024, everyone! Let’s all have a good year!

Question so question to the fandom say I ( who has read about half the idw comics and seen most of 2012 ) wanted to partake in doing a little au thing? of Mutanimals in Rise.

who would be the coolest ones to add...

Sans Pigeon Pete cuz you all have no choice but to accept him.

Ideas/things I think are underutilized in rottmnt fanworks:

-Piebald

-Leo’s “lucky rock” (air turtle ep. for reference)

-the fact that Big mama willingly participated in the “doom dome” and maybe even at the Nexus at one point

-Lou Jitsu’s past and relatives

-the multitude of spirits seen in the s2 finale

-mystic trinkets and artifacts (you can never have too many!)

-yokai background characters

-the hidden city seemingly being run by fear (mobsters, power, etc.)

-more hidden cities outside of NY

-Baron Draxum being driven to a villain role only because he sought to protect the yokai race (he isn’t all that evil)

-Leo’s disgust of romance (…at least develop Leo into a romance role…)

-Donnie isn’t averse to EVERYTHING goopy and weird. (Like the yokai pizza he ate w/Leo in “operation: normal” and the Joey pouch he sat in with Leo in “hidden city job”)

-Sunita. look, she clearly has a taste for fashion (the fashion turtle pointed THAT out) and she chose to go into SCIENCE/biology class, out of many options. She would be besties with Donnie.

-those crab brothers

-tmnt iteration crossovers (there isn’t enough out there)

-Donnie (probably) being the medic (y’all are gonna hate me for this. But. I honestly don’t see that much to support medic Leo. it makes an excellent headcanon though! It looks like Donnie designed the entire medbay and patented the suits and whatnot in “down with the sickness”. Also he started spewing medical-talk when unmutated piebald fell out of the fishbowl.

-MAYHEM

-Senor Hueso’s son (Hueso Jr?)

-other Yojimbo/samurai rabbit characters! I’m tired of ONLY seeing usagi. Where’s gen? Chizu? Katsuichi? At least do your research y’all pleassseee. At least read a wiki page because so many usagis I’m seeing are so ooc that he’s just there to be Leo’s love interest. Cmon.

-Draxum’s son sloppy joe(seph)

-Characters from the rottmnt comics.

-Battle Nexus monsters (Lou Jitsu mostly fought hydras, big creatures, etc.)

-Renet!!!

-other characters from pre-existing tmnt iterations (Rocksteady, leatherhead, tigerclaw, Lita, Bebop, I could go on….)

-the turtles adopting a cat (rise Mikey hasn’t had the best of luck with cats though)

-space adventures! Triceratons! Aliens! Robots! please

-sibling kisses. Hugs and stuff. Now.

-Big Mama redemption arc??? I still haven’t seen one. She was actually pretty close to redemption towards the finale. We haven’t seen her in the movie, so who knows?

[wolfasketch]

Yes, my sona is short and Mayhem is still huge!

Ages:

Jupiter: 16

Venus: 15

Mercury: 17

Leatherhead(Neptune): 19

Usagi: Unknown(at least 500+, younger than Draxum)

Mayhem: Unknown(at least 2000+)

✨Doodles✨

[redvelvetcakezz]

Hey folks! Sorry its been awhile, been preparing for college, super scared but also excited lmao

Mini art dump, one is just a doodle of my favorite turtle, other two are concept art for a ROTTMNT version of Leatherhead! (Design by me). My friends and I discussed that in our Kraang AU, the Mutanimals find a recently mutated Lou Jitsu, and he joins their group! This would take place around the time the Kraang find the turtles in the ship.

-

@jthefruit, @bossidiotart, @peaches0015, and I created an AU where the Kraang raise the Turtles instead of Splinter in the Prison Dimension. The Turtles name change as well

the Main Kraang is known as Prime, the female Kraang is Sister, and the last Kraang is Brother in our AU. If you’re interested, please follow my friends and I as we continue to flesh things out, for now, please, enjoy!

P.S (If you use my Leatherhead design, please credit me, it’s free use, fanart is welcome too, I’d love to see it! Just ping me or smth 👀)

You guys ever think about how the episode where Rise Raph was “Weird” for an episode? (“Man Vs. Sewer”) And how out of place it seemed? I mean what made my boi like this?? Cause, looking at the previous tmnt iterations, it was probably a concept in which the writers were trying to combine “Leatherhead” with “Raphael”. A character you don’t see in rottmnt.

Cause Leatherhead is an alligator. A gentle sweet soul. Raph is an alligator snapping turtle. And a sweet soul. They are both, ridiculously huge in stature. Towering over the turtles.

And they both get weird.

The whole concept of Leatherhead is that he is a character that is very sweet and kind. He started out as a baby alligator. But due to the oddity of his mutation, succumbs to “animal instincts” as a mental defense mechanism. Acting like how a provoked alligator would. And accidentally hurting the ones he loves because of it. I find the fact he and Raph were both originally baby animals that were mutated to be a potential connection.

Is this what’s up with Raph? An odd mutation that makes Raph lose himself when he can’t handle something? His instincts taking over to protect himself? An odd mutation caused from perhaps an interrupted process designed to make them be weapons of war? Or would allowing the full mutation have made the turtles more feral, monstrous? Perfect to destroy all of humanity.

I want to say that 03 Leatherhead had more of an impact on this choice. 03 is specifically very kind. And the brothers welcomed him in their lair. Excitedly and basically called him brother.

In 03 it seems to be more in his “nature” that he needed help to get through with. But be an allegory for trauma for ptsd (I think). In 12 he was tortured from the beginning implying a combination of trauma and the nature of his mutation. Either way, trauma makes this “defense mechanism” worse, as in 03 after being tortured by “Bishop”, his episodes become worse.

I think 03 wrote a very compelling episode, and I think Rise could have taken the episode in a different direction if this was their idea. Regardless, it has some interesting implications.

Because, what would happen to a turtle who gets “weird” after being possessed by the Krang?

His episodes would get worse.

In rottmnt.

Raph IS. Leatherhead.

Guess who's back at it with rottmnt (May I come back in? 👉👈)

I kinda lost interest for a while, but recently I've got back into it and man I missed drawing these guys...

I thought about finally putting in my AU from August last year, where Mikey basically ask Drax to help him fully activate his powers so that he could protect his older brothers, but instead, he accidentally wrecks the ritual and loses all his powers (temporarily, but he doesn't know that)

So Drax is trying to help him, but Mikey's frantic because he doesn't want the rest of his family to know he attempted this.

Therefore he runs off to the hidden city, to find a way to bring back his powers (The library is his last resort since he's kinda forever banned ✌️)

And then stuff happens (...) Dunno if you'd actually want me to continue this au, if not I'll just stop with this post, but if you do, I'll happily share more info. 👍

But in the meantime he gets into more trouble and ends up in the deepest part of the hidden city, where many dangerous creatures reside....Also there's Leatherhead (He is very much needed in the series and I hope if they continue the series, he'll appear and be Mikey's friend as was meant to be)

[I hope you like this design for him.]

Also did I mention I thought about potential antagonists being certain creatures , who suck out all magic out of you and are lethally dangerous to yokai? Yeah that's in it too. Autism brain was strong.
