Rise April Art Challange 5: Bottle

!TW!  Autistic Overload, Small spaces and mention of drowning !TW!

(Not super proud of this one but whatever.)

Donnie's body is burning.  

He paces across his room on a familiar path, one he knows well. Shifting his speed from a hobble to a sprint at random intervals. His hands routinely rase to try and shake themselves out but they fall back down before they can do anything. He can feel his neurons sparking and buzzing like a live wire across his whole body, lighting up his muscles and bones. Everything inside of him is lost in the need to move, make, act, run, think, jump, swing, build, analyze, DO! And he would gladly do as it asks, but he's so tired.  

He feels like he's going to keel over at any moment. He can't keep his hands steady; his sight keeps going in and out of focus and he can barely keep a line of thought going. He's not going to be able to do anything like this. But the rest of him doesn't care, it needs. Needs to stretch, create, learn, know, strike- STOP! The two forces feel like they're tearing him up apart at the seams, each thread snaping and sending hot shivers up and down his body, and he has no hope of keeping up with it. Donnie is burning with black, lifeless energy, and he feels like he is just going to disintegrate into ash.  

Donnie stops mid sprint, the wall of his room inches away from his nose. He stops himself from turning around and beginning the next round of his pacing. He just needs to slow down. Just for a minute. Just one minute of nothing, so his body can rest. Then he can do... whatever he wants to do. But he needs a moment of nothing.

Donnie sits down with his back to the wall and closes his eyes.  

He can do this; he can do this.  

His hands twitch, wanting to hold and move something. He bounces his leg instead.

He cand do this, he can do this.

Don starts pulling up memories and old thoughts, distracting his mind with the bouncing of his leg.  

He can do this, he can.

He shuffles through his mind until he comes to a picture of a green glass bottle.

He can do this.

The soft-shell isn't sure where the bottle is from. Maybe it's from a long-forgotten memory, or an old dream, or maybe just from his imagination. Regardless, he laches on to it and pulls it to the forefront of his focus, pushing all his desire for action onto it and narrowing his endless burning into a single point on the non-existent glass.  

He can do this.

Donnie tries to calculate how tall the bottle is, how wide, how thick the glass is, and how much water it could hold. He moves on to what exact color the glass is. (Bottle green of course.) How it would feel in his hand, (smooth and solid.) What sound it would make if he were to tap it. (A ding if he tapped while he was holding it, a clang if he dropped it.) What would his room look like if he were to look at it through the thick tinted glass. (The colors would be so muted by the dark green, the perspective so warped by the curve of the bottle.)

(He sees himself inside the bottle, sitting and bouncing his leg up and down so fast it's just a blur.) (He reaches up and slides his hand across the 'cold' surface. The low temperature shocked his hand out of its trembling.)

The burning is slowing, ever so slightly.

(The thrumming of the air-conditioner in his room is muffled by the glass. The sound of Donnie's breath echoes back at him from all angles.)

The feeling is still too loud, too big, too fast, too much, too much.  

He just needs it to be softer, a little farther away, just less.

(He feels the cold trickle of water running down the sides of the bottle and towards the bottom. It grounds him and soothes his acing body. It runs over his shoulder and begins to fill the space around him. A pool soon forms around him, calming and swirling, it dulls the burn to a slight sting wherever it touches. He leans his head back, to let the water run over his forehead and down. The water soon rises until it's just a few inches above his head. He sits on the floor of the bottle, surrounded by cold and still calm. The burn in his veins tries to fight the feeling. Tries to urge him to move, to reject the feeling of rest and do something. Donnie doesn't listen. The feeling is already dying, pushed back by soothing cold. He feels the water flow inside of him, spreading its restful numbness and quite peace into the very core of himself. He allows it, he lets himself farther down into the bottle and just rests. He blows out a few bubbles and watches them float to the top.)

(Donnie let's himself become lost in the nothingness of the water. Donnie let's consume him, just for right now. Donnie lets himself drown.)

Don gets up after a few minutes and falls into bed to sleep. In the morning the need to do it is back, but it is no longer eating him alive. It doesn't burn.

Please check out @zee-rambles who came up with this challenge. Also take a look at @rise-april-art-challenge for more submissions. Please give feedback if I need to work on something.

Man, I am SO glad that our baby boi got saved in the end! Because I can’t imagine Leo floating there forever, all alone. Now you’re just making me sad.

I love the glow around his body and the reflections on his sword, and the quiet, introspective look on his face. Also the armbands are a nice touch! Gotta say, the idea of Leo drifting from place to pace, somehow finding himself in another dimension is an interesting concept for a fanfic. Though I REALLY hope we save Rise so that we can see our boys happy again, because the fandom has so much angst! Is it because we’re all sad that Rise is not getting the love it deserves? Heh.

Great entry! Thank you so much!

° Round, around, a round again

Will you start where I end? 🎶

Also for @rise-april-art-challenge day 25: Loss. Dimension hopper Leo is just a lost boy...

Rise April art challange day 4 - Dream!

[rise-april-art-challenge]

But! But he looks so cuuuuuuute!!! Love his outfit design and his lil glasses and the way he’s just jammy jams with his friend! Rise Raph is best Raph!!! Love it!

Rise April drawing challenge Day 9: Fashion + DTIYS on Twitter combo! *makes Mario sound while jumping in air*

I draw so much art of Raph with Gloria (Big City Greens) and not enough of him and Blythe (Littlest Pet Shop). Every time they hang out, she always has a new design for him to try.

@zee-rambles created the challenge

Day two of the drawing challenege: competition!

I thought it would be funny to add April in a Redraw of the boys fighting during the Lair Games. I couldn't find a reference for that particular position for her, but I think I did pretty good! I love my markers so much, but I don't have enough colors in the shades I want, so this was the best I could do.

[lokidotir]

Day 3: Casey and Casey Jr!

First time drawing the Casey's, and I went wild with the pose, and I also pretty much gave up halfway through. Drawing humans is so hard! But I did what I could and I hope whatever mischief this three get up too they have fun!

[rise-april-art-challenge]

Great redraw! This was such a fun scene! We really don’t appreciate all the zany and fun art that goes into rise! April distracting this guy was gold! Love this girl and the moxxy she has to get things done!

Great work!

Day 6: Professor

I didn't have time to color it, but I'll dp that later. Til then, my contribution!

Here's the color option!

[lokidotir]

Day 12: Family

I know the picture wasn't the greatest, but I am so tired right now. I almost gave up on this sooooo many times...

Anyway. Obviously, we had to get the whole fam together for today. I am very glad I didn't choose thw pic with Casey as well. I wouldn't have been able to hold back my tears. I about lost it with Splinter coz I only had two images to swap between and his hand was missing in each. (Finally found a third and we lived)

These guys need more happy moments.

[lokidotir]

Day 18: Sleep

I was going to do a giant turtle pile with the family, but after Day 12.... anyway. This is good practice for drawing Mayhem, coz I have plans for him later!
