Art rant below.

Alright so art rant here. I've been pretty out of practice of digital art for a while and this whole fandom has deeply inspired me. I'm really appreciative.

Raph: This was my first one and I was not used to the brushes and some of the layer capabilities of my program but overall I like it. The pose is nice and I originally had a sketch of a blank OC template in his lap to customize if ever I wanted. The background ain't halfbad but I think Donnie's is my fav.

Mikey: Probably my favorite for color balance and lighting. The angle was very fun also. Also those ripped jeans were fun. Very little to complain about except that I wish I found the speckle brush for this one. Overall my favorite of the four.

Leo: Super lazy on the background, but the angle was fun to try and emphasize his muscles and waist. Absolutely vivid I love the colors. I'm awful at finishing flat colors before shading and keep mxing up the layers for them but you can't tell from the pic. Need to learn how to color reflective material better, the sword is very mediocre I know I can do better if I learn.

Donnie: Absolutely my favorite background even though it's simple. I may have set the foreground a bit too dark to see his features clearly but it's fine for now. I cannot refrain myself from drawing suspicious bulges in Donnie's pants even in otherwise SFW stuff.

All of them: I need to remember to color their nails properly lol otherwise extremely happy about these. Great warm up drawings to put oil in my gears. I have better understanding of colors and brushes.

Having them all done now has unblocked my mental obsession and now I can start drawing unrestrained smut more art for these wonderful men 😈

❤️🐢💙🐢💜🐢🧡🐢

Happy New Year to all!

Technically... Usagi counts as crossover, considering he's from a different show.

Daddy’s Blunt Weapon

i feel like leo in media nowadays is so not him, and imma be so real for the longest time i too regarded him as the ‘strict mom of the group’ but he’s really fucking isn’t.

he’s cringe, nerdy, sassy, and just a tad awkward! he’s obsessed with kids cartoons and anime and that’s canon! he sasses and pokes fun at his siblings, he makes jokes and puns that never hit! he gets so happy when he goes to space and makes silly faces! He likes dnd and comics! he’s a kid, he likes to mess around and he’s pretty laid back when it comes to everyday stuff!

he’s not this stick up his ass type of guy, he just take’s missions seriously bc he’s trying to keep his bros safe, bc the weight of being the leader weighs down on him heavily and he takes the role of leader very strictly and rightly so! he may be a star student but only bc he’s a hard worker and he’s stubborn enough that he’s good at shit he wants to be good at. he wants to protect his siblings.

not saying he can’t be extra or anything, he can so be a lil shit when it comes to training. i’m just saying we should show his more colorful side :))

T-May-NT Day 16: Favorite Episode

OK, THIS WAS A HARD CHOICE because, favorite episode?? Of any TMNT canon??? That's a tall order and I had so so many that I debated picking... however, there's one episode that I would always choose to watch as a kid, one that I still adore to this day, so I stuck with it without thinking too much about all of the other choices I could make because then I would never be able to pick just one.

Turtles in Space (Part 3): The Big House, from TMNT 2003! One of my favorite episodes of all time, there are just so many little moments from it that made it a childhood favorite, and it still holds up so well rewatching it now <3

For some of my out-of-order favorite moments in this episode along with some of my ramblings, see below the cut!

I absolutely love Don's dorky little salute here; sweetheart you just got captured by aliens after surviving the vacuum of space, I don't think they're looking for a salute.

And then the fact that after the triceraton pushes Don both Leo and Raph immediately jump forward to defend him? PERFECTION, I love how protective those two are!!

"FLOOR WAX???" haha I thought that was so gross as a kid

These shock things are only used like twice in this whole episode. Guess who got it both times? So fitting for his character, honestly I love it.

*Giant muscled alien bully walks through the cafeteria* Raph (immediately): I'm gonna fight that guy Don (who already knows its inevitable): RAPH NO--

That's not exactly how it went but also yeah that's basically how it went

Also "green guy green guy!!" always cracked me up for no good reason

"I got a rock?" *visible brother judgement*

Also though this whole sequence shows all of the turtles so perfectly. The fact that they all looked at each other, knowing that they had all (well almost all) started thinking through and working out an escape plan, and then the subsequent way that they were each using something they brought to the table to form a plan (Raph timing the door, Don figuring out the smoke bomb, Leo putting it all together)? All so well done, I love this scene.

Speaking of which:

The fact that Don took one look at the floor wax through Mikey's vomit and said "I'm gonna make a bomb with a bit of dirt" is so hilarious to me. His little "I love it when I'm right" is also adorable.

Don't think I'm hating on Mikey, he was just waiting for his moment to shine! Seriously without him swiping that keycard they would have been toast.

The fact that the two idiots in the back literally forgot to make sure that their own plan was going to be carried out like come on guys

This moment.

And of course "SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOONS!!!"

I love this episode a lot, there's a whole lot more that I love from it but I digress; good episode.

Small rant: I just want to say that there’s nothing inherently wrong with a feminine design, in the right setting and for the right character it is nice! Frida's design however? Makes absolutely no sense from a character standpoint and what we know about her as a character (which admittedly isn’t much) but from what we have been told? Is that Frida takes her job as big mamas assistant super seriously, to the point (now this was mentioned in the QNA so it’s official) that it’s almost funny, and when I look at her face in the comic? I’m just not getting that characterisation at all, now admittedly maybe this is what they were going for? But for a singular cameo/Easter egg I highly doubt they put that much thought into how they wanted people to portray her character outside of guys it’s the missing sister! Nor how accurate it would be to what she would have been in the show.

Maybe I’m wrong, maybe I’m just jumping to conclusions or hating just to be a hater, but it really feels like whoever designed her fell into the trap of gotta make sure people can tell the male and the female apart! Which is a common trope in media, mostly cartoons, whether it be a comic or a movie, and it’s always been something iv hated. but like I said before, a feminine design has its place in a show or movie, but it ultimately depends on the character itself, and I feel as tho Frida could still be feminine, without erasing what would make her look intimidating, and like a foe that the turtles would have to fight, and eventually win over to join them and their family.

Anyway this is just my two cents, I may make an official redesign of Frida, maybe trying to incorporate what they were going for in the comic but with my own twist to it, who knows.

March for Raph day 17!:

Good citizen‼️

He’s just a silly guy

Side note: I love artists who draw R! Raph like the industrial refrigerator he is

It’s also just fun drawing him built like a semi truck! But I admit, it is hard. My first few drawings of him were… worthy to be burned in a campfire. But I couldn’t give up, I had to draw my favorite blorbo PERFECTLY

So, here we are. I think I do a pretty solid job drawing him! To the point I find him the easiest (not including actions poses because AAAHHHH)

He square. You have to draw him like one!

Well, you don’t have to but I think he looks cooler when he’s drawn with the shape of a mansions door /aff

UGH I TOLD MYSELF I WOULDN’T RANT ok bye guys

WAIT I need to mention how I’ve been drawing Raph with ripped up bandana tails and only recently realized/remembered it’s not like that in the show. I COULD’VE SWORN IT WAS

The Mandela effect is getting to me /j

Ok ok this is getting way too long, bye! (For real this time 💀)

[microfeelings]

Finally, here late but still here! TMayNT day 1!!

Some of them are more into the pose than others... I couldn't just choose one Raph, come on, that's my emotional support red turtle, I love them all, even the ones not pictured here <3

Bonus because I can't not include my own iteration

I'm probably gonna do a couple more and I'm being generous here because I've decided it's a smarter choice to let my computer just rest (in peace)

~ TMNT February Day 20: Dream ~

Rant time: Raph thinking he will become Shredder and be just like him is the biggest wasted potential in the show.

Context: In the episode "The Darkness Within", the turtles go to help their friend Angel get her brother back. Stuff happens and they are suddenly trapped in their worst nightmares. And you wanna know what Raph's nightmare is? That Raphael, a guy who has done nothing but has been saving people, doing his best to protect his brothers and care for them, literally saved the entire world, thinks he is anywhere near Shredder. Shredder. Yeah that guy who has done nothing but terrorize and is the reason so many horrible things have happened in the show. He genuinely thinks he is a monster. A cruel heartless monster.

That concept is to me, the most interesting thing ever. Admit it, you wanted to know why Raph would have thought himself in that way and think he would become Shredder. But why do I call this wasted potential? That's because it's LITERALLY only mentioned ONE TIME. It only happened in that episode. And that episode only. We don't get details as to why he thinks that way or what made him think he shared even the slightest in common with Shredder. Also remember those dimension episodes? As much as I enjoyed Raph's episode, I wish now, he was sent in a universe where he was Shredder. Also also, he is the only turtle to have never defeated any version of Shredder. So I feel like this would have been his chance to finally defeat one.

I really hope that in a future iteration of TMNT, this sort of idea is brought back and we get to explore it a bit more.

Now this isn't related to 2003 but, I did actually learn later down the line that Raph actually did become the Shredder in the image comics. Damn.

“you know i love you, blue.” “do you?”

so since that one post i made about these two got so many notes, i wanted to make something that kinda sums up what i think their relationship post-movie healing would be like

[twin-disaster-tutel-brainrot]

So me and SeeD have been working on fic and comic ideas for like two months now I think? And there's a scene I wrote in the middle of November for a fic, and then scrapped that fic idea, so I'm left with only that one scene. I still really like the scene and wanna use it, but I could not for the life of me think where it could fit.

I went over our ideas again today and finally found one where the scene fit. And not only does it fit, it makes more sense there than in the original idea XD

It's gonna make it so much easier to write the rest of that idea with a scene already existing so I'm hoping to find time this week to work on it and hopefully finish a first draft. You got the first page is SeeD's Size Upgrade AU, you might get the first fic in the Series of one-shots we're working on :D
