One of the first characters that I designed working on rise, he's a two in one! A teapot, and a villain! (And Karai’s Dad!)

[daedelweiss]

i held off introducing my version of usagi for so long ckska

he met leo when they were 13 and leo was stealing toys from his family's shop. he was understandably upset but befriend him after finding out it was for his missing brothers.

he's not appearing in the canon comic because i want the comic to be family focused and to stay with the show 💖 he will only appear in side content of LM~ also i'm a taller usagi truther because leo needs his ego knocked down :P and he's a gnc king ✨️ • ( 🌿 please do NOT repost, edit, trace, use, and/or sell 🌿 )

thoughts & alt version below the cut

This design really made me think about how character designs go through changes overtime depending on the needs of the medium, and since these designs need to be drawn consistently over and over for animation, the details need to be cut down drastically unlike in singular illustrations

I kinda found the gear a bit obnoxious to draw honestly.. just being honest- probably the straps combined with the final plastron design was the most annoying thing >.> Though I can’t deny that it looks cool 👀

Anyway, this was fun! I liked getting to experiment around with replicating the art style! Funnily enough, this is the first time I’ve drawn ankles and knuckles on the turtles, so that was interesting to try out too!

GHOSTFACE DONNIE CONSUMED MY THOUGHTS, I needed to do something about it. Also, Ghost Donnie concept belongs to @smoothturtle0 "" GIVE LOVE TO THEM <3<3<3<3

I wanted to make a silly mix between TMNT X DELTARUNE, that's what happened! I tried to think of which character they would most identify with, but then I went with the ""obvious""(??

I’m starting to think that Andy Suriano wants Rise back as much as we do…

Guys, if you want to take another proactive step to make this dream into a reality, go to this post and add your reasons why Rise matters to you in the google doc made by our lovely ally @seasaltcosmos

Skrael Design Path

Rolling onward to the second of these Arcane Order closer looks and this time it's Skrael at the helm! As ever with these it is far from impossible something else will belatedly turn up. Should this occur, wherever it is added will have a [/edit xx/xx/xxxx] which includes a date marker. Just makes it easier to find the “new” thing :)

Given Skrael is often written by many fic writers as He/They, suppose we got some more non-binary wrongs going on. All for a good cause tho, right?

Skrael is unusual of the three in that his design, from what work is public, was cemented pretty early on. Still, Francisco Ruiz Velasco did have his own stab at a bunch of wizards which are nigh impossible to pin down if it was for any of the Arcane Trio specifically or not. This one will very understandably appear in all three as there could well be a Skrael potential here.

Source goes to Linkedin so may require an account.

According to Yingjue Chen who drew the below Ice Wizard designs, Sean Murray did a sketch which the most Skrael looking one is based. It's a pretty low chance of said sketch ever turning up but you never know.

A coloured version of this very Skrael looking Skrael is also shown in the Art of Wizards panel on the height comparison chart too.

From there comes his final design plus quite literal gesture sketches. These are again by Yingjue Chen!

Source

Skrael next pops up in the hands of Betsy Bauer for his paint and turn around which much like Bellroc is a reference goldmine. He is no longer on her website but you can check out other things she did for ToA here.

Decided to add a trio of bonuses just for fun. You might have noticed the Order pops up in the Wizards credits sequence though unlike Trollhunters and 3Below, it is not Headless Studios. They were drawn in a similar way though! They are by Alison Donato.

Source

This is also a great excuse to yet again break out Francisco Ruiz Velasco's Order band poster again! In part due to him only appearing in colour keys for RotT otherwise.

Source goes to Linkedin so may require an account.

Of all the Order for some reason there's a lot of detail for Skrael's staff. Starting off we have the painted concepts by Yingjue Chen which we lack for Bellroc at this time.

Source

And from theeeere we have a whole bunch from Alison Donato including callouts! The small and texture free Skrael model resized for height comparison purposes will have been made at Leo Sanchez Studios.

On the more magical front there is a tiny screenshot from the Art of Wizards panel which shows the magic effects for Skrael. It is unknown who the other images including what could be the ice bridge belong to however -

We do have a bigger version of the left image which we know is by Yingjue Chen! Aren’t effects neat?

[/Edit 13/02/2025] The following was missed due to no obvious note of what it is on the original tweet this version is from and it's being added in now. This is the spell effect combining Bellroc, Skrael and the Green Knight's power into a single shot! It is by Isaac Orloff.

Source

Poking Rise of the Titans a moment, thanks to Andy Murray we have the glow up eye effect for Skrael. This has been cropped from a larger image for fitting this post reasons only.

Source

And for fun since we also have it, this is the Arcane Circle for Skrael which is shown on the Ice Titan. The Genesis Seal marker is on the same row as Bellroc so is not shown here. As above it has been cropped for fitting this post reasons only. This time they are by Sean Wang.

Source

Much like Nari, we do actually know what Skrael's development name: Thule! They're not in the most easy to spot place mind and likely why many have missed it over the years. One of them is in Alison Donato's file names on her website like so:

The other location is on one of the Felix Yang sequences that hasn't been converted from nyoom status yet. In this case, yeah you have to be very lucky to spot it:

It can can be found Here.

When all three posts are up there will be a link here to the other two members. For now it is a half completed placeholder:

Bellroc - Nari - Skrael
