turble moobi:]

talking from a character designer and general artist standpoint, i absolutely love the way the tmnt mutant mayhem trailers look. the design of the turtles makes me unreasonably happy. i like how they made them like actual teenagers, goofy, clumsy, and full of bad ideas. not in a constant “we are ninjas we stay hidden in the shadows and don’t mess around.” while im sure they still have those values, they’re also just kids. the younger cast of voice actors also adds to the affect of “yeah, just some fun teen brothers.” also, jackie chan is master splinter, so the day is saved

Sunset!

I just really like the idea of the boys sneaking out topside when they were younger and seeing their very first sunset together ✧⁠◝⁠(⁠⁰⁠▿⁠⁰⁠)⁠◜⁠✧

"This Whole Situation"

Rise Ramblings #1

So as you guys know, one occurring phrase in the show between the boys and April is “This whole situation.” Although vague, and used in many other contexts, sometimes the family uses the phrase to refer to their mutations.  

However, once finishing the series it’s hard to miss that Donnie never says the phrase. Now, I could be wrong (and If I am, just comment and let me know!) but I have a theory as to why Donnie doesn’t say it… Donnie never says “this whole situation” because in his mind, there IS no situation.

The Evidence:

I started noticing something interesting about Donnie’s state of mind about himself.

He never really expresses that he’s different from other people, he’s just…him. Obviously, he knows that he’s a mutant, but it’s not something at the front of his mind. I associate it to if someone has a certain attribute, that person is just that, a person first. I believe it’s the same for Donnie. He’s a person, that just so happens to be a mutant turtle, and I live for it.

What made me solidify my theory was the use of disguises in Rise, specifically the use of disguises in April’s school.

All of the boys have visited April’s school, and all of them decided to wear disguises, except Donnie.

He just shows up in his regular clothing. One could argue that the hoodie is his disguise, but then why did the rest of the boys wear actual (silly) disguises while our boy Donnie is just like, “Hoodie? Check.” And not only that, but for the whole episode, all eyes are on him, and he just. Doesn’t. Care. It’s glorious!

Later, in the episode Donnie vs. Witch Town, we see that Donnie showing up all willy-nilly pell-mell at April’s school was not a one-time thing. It’s literally been happening for years!

Therefore, I believe that canonically Donnie doesn’t care about “this whole situation.” And if someone does, as far as he’s concerned that’s their problem, not his.

Sooo...tmnt 2012.

I didn't mean to draw fanart.

My sister came up with some human designs and I loved them so much I had to draw some.

I got that line from an "Animaniacs" comic, incase you had any doubts about me being a nerd.

And the sad now 🥲

I have been in this fandom for barely a week and if anything happened to my boys I would kill everyone in the room and them myself.

First art post ever for ROTTMNT. Yeehaw.

This series, the whole franchise rlly, has always been extremely dear to me, but I avoid posting art online out of my own anxiety. However, I showed these to a friend I managed to drag into rise fandom hell and they are practically holding me at gun point to post these lol. This is the most recent art I’ve drawn for the Rise boys <3

Perhaps I’ll post some other things I’ve worked on for this show, as well as other iterations, but we’ll see. Also, I apologize now, there is so much leosagi art in my folders I am NOT immune.

(Did I give Donnie a gun? Yes. Can you tell me he wouldn’t have one? No.)

surprise!! remaking this post with corrected, updated links!!

Introducing…

‘DINO’-tello

BIG THANK U to Anixolt on twitter for accepting this commission request!!! I'm so excited to share this 'Future' Donatello with you all!

Set in an alternate reality, Donnie & his brothers go back in time to the cretaceous period to stop a cataclysmic event. However, in doing so, the four brothers get stuck in the past and live among the dinosaurs.

[link to twitter thread]

(Note! Permission to post my commission on tumblr was given by artist via Twitter!)

More lore below!

Because the Ooze was designed to make super soldier mutants, it helps its host adapt to the conditions around them. After a few years, it started to double-mutate him to adapt to his new harsh environment, making him very raptor-like.

Because of his double mutation and trauma of past events, Donnie is at risk of going into a feral “Savage” mode like Raph

Has two modes— ‘Hunter’ and ‘Scientist/Alchemist’

While hunting Donatello relies on his instincts. Becomes very aggressive and territorial.

He uses an ankylosaurus skull and other dinosaur parts as his battle shell and protective gear while hunting

When he isn’t hunting, Donnie is trying to reinvent necessities to make living in a prehistoric era a bit easier with what materials are available to him

Whatever he doesn’t have, he’ll make. From scratch.

Dino-Tello’s concept was inspired by a similar 2003 TMNT episode where they go to the past, 2003 Leatherhead, Tarzan, and the anime series ‘Dr. Stone’

His concept is meant to emphasize Donnie’s other strengths beyond technology— such as his Super-intelligence, his close-combat fighting skills, and ability to communicate with other creatures (as shown in the Todd Scouts episode)

He and his brothers tame a triceratops and name him Zog, who was both a pet and steed

For one reason or another… Donatello is the last turtle standing

However, due to classic Hamato shenanigans— ‘Dino’tello might not be all alone for too long 👀👀👀
