the Bamboozle AU turtles and their character designs

each character has a certain sweet food that inspires their looks and outfits with Raph being a candy apple, Donnie being devil's food cake, Leo being a rainbow swirl lollipop, and Mikey being pop rocks

my first piece for the TMayNT art challenge :]

(TMayNT is a teenage mutant ninja turtle challenge in honor of their 40th anniversary and put together by @mikasleaf )

prompt was: “your favorite turtle”

Rise Raph is my favorite <3 I love him so much. And he deserves to have some little animal friends.

[signanothername]

I think my top favorite headcanon is that Raph has Splinter’s eyes

Idk something about it gives me so much serotonin

And listen, hear me out, a hurt/comfort comic idea

What if Raph became really disgusted to look at his eyes after the invasion? Cause they only remind him of the mind controlling he went through, so he can’t bear look at his eyes whenever he’s in front of a mirror

Then Splinter asks Raph to look at his eyes, Raph does and Splinter asks him what he thinks of them, Raph says he thinks they’re beautiful, only for Splinter to go “well you have my eyes so yours are just as beautiful aren’t they?”

And Raph just takes a hot minute to register that then he just hugs his dad cause he’s actually right

It took a bit of time, but eventually he could bear to look at his own eyes, and as more times goes on with Splinter reminding him at each opportunity that they have the same eyes, he believes his dad’s words wholeheartedly

Cause screw the stupid invasion, he’s got the most beautiful eyes in the family, he’s proud of how his eyes look and he would keep observing their beauty 😔❤️🌷✨

Listen Raph and Splinter content is everything I need, plz I need more of them they’re the best

here’s some art I won’t finish 😋😋🫡

This is for @trubblegumm and their 3K DTIYS. I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've drawn Raph's shell from the back and quite honestly I had a blast with it.

Everyone should go check out their Bloodbath AU because it is stupendous!!!

Ah man I learned about Raphs markings.

ASKED DETTI THIS TOO BUT WHATS YOUR THOUGHTS ON RAPH'S MELTDOWN SCENE IN RAPH VS WATER!?! ( I found it relatable but I can never usually act out on my anger bc yk being the oldest sucks )

I LETRSLLY RELATED TO HIM IN EVERY SINGLE SECOND OF THAT SCENE OH MY GODDD. LIKE just walking out of your room with one objective and then having to like not raise your voice or anything when a bunch of stuff comes flying at you. Usually for me its like responsibilities piling up and then getting asked to do MORE. for raph in this scene all the “stuff” in question was physical, which definitely could be taken as a metaphor for something else. His response to most of these inconviniences were silence (because initiating talking could lead to him raising his voice sk he just doesnt) and taking a deep breath and continuing. AND OH MY GOD HANDS DOWN MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE TMNT TREND is when raphs are self aware of their anger issues and genuinely try to cope with them (through trial and error). the medatation (so he can better stop and think about his actions) and wrestling (to get all his feelings out in a physical way) are his outlets to cope. He also proves later in the episode that hes self aware while hes talking about why he needs wrestling to ray fillet and scumbug. Anyways off topic the meltdown. Hes better than me bc I I was him I wouldve lost it after I found out there was no more food. I also HATE meditating so fs I would not have made it out of that situation.

Okay um pretend that sounded smart and meaningful I have no idea what I just said

so. what if. Rise of the TMNT AU : where Splinter just manages to save one turtle, Raph, and think the others died in the lab explosion. But they didnt ! And live with Draxum, that while taking care of the tots realizes that they shouldnt be used as weapons and ends up turning into a actually very good parent.

While this, Splinter and Raph are having a Bad Time(TM) and Raph ends up pratically growing up alone. Splinter's depression just gets worse and worse, and Raph tries to understand (but Splinter tells nothing to him and it just difficults it all).

Donnie, Mikey and Leo are the ones who meet April, and her presence kinda of convinces Draxum that there are good people in humanity and gives up of the war with them (but the oozesquitos are freed in an accident).

In Raph's 15th anniversary, they met each other accidentally and then the chaos starts.

The real motivation behind this is. I want to explore how Raph would be growing alone. Like, really alone, with barely his dad to help. And !! I'd like to explore his dynamic with the others, and how they would react with Raph's coping mechanisms and mannerisms he learned by himself.

Also, It is about healing too. They all help Splinter to forgive Draxum, himself and to learn to appreciate life again, dragging him out from this depression whole he caved for himself.

Basically: I want to project on them.

SO ITS IT ILL TRY TO DRAW REFS SOMEDAY

Everything is falling apart.

First of all, I'm sorry. Second - we're only one part away from the beginning of comfort and I'm slowly going crazy here haha

I had way too much fun and spent way too much time on this

Also I am never drawing with my left hand ever again. It looks like a Raph self-portrait
