Unity timeline:

Because I like when it's steady and right in place. I drew this while in the waiting room for an appointment.

I forgot to say that the "Free" and "Apocalypse AU" Unity both lost her right leg.

[bluesgras]

so I pony-fied the sd! Disaster twins. You get zero context

[sofiasfanartcollection]

was really wanting to draw something horse-like/deer-like, so I sketched out a design for another rise of the tmnt oc :]

she’s a kelpie who was raised by a yokai family of kirin in the Hidden City

she’s a trans mare and her pronouns are she/they

her name is Meer I think (that might be short for a longer name, but I haven’t decided yet)

they’re a healer and they run a plant shop, that specializes in mystic and/or medicinal plants and bonsai trees, that River eventually works for ​(there’s a lot more flowers in the shop after River starts working there)

Kirin redesign dropping!

Since I’m writing a (fan)fic that involves Kirin in MLP, I wanted to do something that makes the Kirin a little more unique to the ponies as well as have some differences between male and female (since due to time restraints it became a game of “who has fleek eyelashes” instead of having several features). It is still pretty pony-esque in general shape, but there are some subtle differences. something I forgot to put in the blurb in the picture is both males and females are taller than ponies and males have diamond shaped eyes while females have round.

Curse of the Clan chapter 65 FINALE!!

“LEOOOO!” Michelangelo ran over to Leonardo out of breath, colliding with his brother before he could stop himself. “Leo Leo Leo Leo Leo Leo—“

“Woah woah woah!” Leonardo laughed and put both hands against Michelangelo’s shoulders to keep the excited turtle at bay, “Where’s the fire?”

Michelangelo took a long, deep breath. “I traded face painting for a snail and traded the snail fir a painted rock and I traded the painted rock for a cane and I traded the cane for a ball and I traded the ball for a basket of muffins and I traded the basket of muffins for a kitten and I named him Klunk!”

Michelangelo shoved a tiny orange and white kitten in Leonardo’s face; Klunk gave a tiny mew and batted curiously at Leonardo’s nose before quickly being pulled back against Michelangelo.

“That’s great, Mikey—“

But Michelangelo was already running away again on the trail of a bright butterfly, which left Leonardo once more wandering in search of something to do. Everywhere he looked was something new— young yokai playing games or families swimming in the river or flying flips through the air either on wings or paragliders. Everywhere they all seemed to be having the time of their lives. None of the activities caught and kept his attention though until he happened to look over to an ice cream cart manned by a slime yokai. The current customers were a calico nekomata and an old rat.

“Dad?” Confusion came first, and then came a sneaky, mischievous grin. He rubbed his hands together not unlike a supervillain, “Ohhh this is good~”

Slowly, like he was walking across a cloud, Leonardo glided behind a tree. He pulled himself onto a higher branch to get a vantage point, watching as Splinter and the strange woman passed under; he caught a snippet of conversation.

“I can barely handle my four boys; I don’t know how you manage so many!”

“It’s not all fun and laughter that’s for sure, but most of them get adopted really quickly…”

Leonardo jumped the next tree over, silently cursing himself as a falling leaf made Splinter stop and look up. His nose twitched, eyes narrowing just the slightest bit as he stared directly at Leonardo, but perhaps not seeing him; Leonardo remained like a statue.

“Splinter, what’s the matter?” The woman came to up wrap her arms around Splinter’s arm, looking up and trying to see what he saw.

“Nothing.” Splinter said quickly, “Just thought I saw something.”

Slowly, with Splinter dragging his feet, they moved on. Leonardo saw no point in hiding anymore. Before they could get far, Leonardo dropped down in front of them.

“So do I get to be the flowergirl?”

“AH!” Both rat and cat screamed, but Splinter quickly fell to grabbing his sandal and repeatedly slapping Leonardo with it. “YOU! DUMB! DIRTY! YARO! Scared me half to death!”

Leonardo bunched himself at the assault, laughing harder with each slap as he did his best to protect his face. “I’m - sorry! It was too good to resist! Besides, flower girl is more for Mikey, I wanna be ring bearer!”

“You get to be NOTHING!”

“Now That’s just unfair!”

Splinter swung his arm around the cat to guide her quickly around Leonardo, trying his best to ignore his son's taunting presence.

“Was that your son?” The cat asked, trying to look back and steal another glimpse of Leonardo.

“Don’t look at him and maybe he’ll go away.”

“RENET!”

Renet stopped long enough to look around, giving a curious hum at the familiar voice. “Michael?”

“ME!”

Renet gave a startled yelp that was quick to turn into giggles when she recognized Michelangelo had come up from behind and wrapped his arms around her in a tight hug.

“HUG! Hi Renet!” Michelangelo skirted around to her front, smiling brightly, “I traded face painting for a snail and traded the snail for a painted rock and I traded the painted rock for a cane and I traded the cane for a ball and I traded the ball for a basket of muffins and I traded the basket of muffins for a kitten and I named him Klunk!” Klunk gave a soft meow. “Also! I caught a butterfly and traded it for a balloon and traded the ballon for an ice cream cone do you want it?”

Michelangelo offered a strawberry ice cream to Renet, who accepted it with a confused but excited smile. “Uh… thanks. I’ve never had ice cream before!”

She looked over the frozen treat for a curious moment, then took a big bite out of it before Michelangelo could stop her. The cold immediately seized her body and she brought a hand up to cover her mouth against the drool that tried to escape from the shock.

“Mm… cold.” She shivered, wiping her mouth once more before she let herself giggle.

“You’re supposed to lick it, not bite it.” Michelangelo encouraged.

Renet did as asked, swiping her tongue across the length of the dripping ice cream, “Mm! It’s good.”

“It’s ice cream, of course it’s good!” Michelangelo beamed, “What are you doing out here? I didn't think you left your mansion all that often.”

“Yeah I uh… I don’t.” Renet said with a giddy laugh, “Today’s actually the first day. I’ve never seen the sun before.. It’s just as beautiful as I imagined. But hot…”

Renet swiped a few beads of sweat off of her forehead. Michelangelo gasped and, out of an innocent want to help, went to grab the back of her wheelchair to push her. Renet pulled away from the attempt, rolling back around to face him while Michelangelo looked confused, and then startled at Renet’s uncomfortable expression.

“Actually I can roll myself.” She said slowly.

“OH! I— I’m sorry!” Michelangelo squeaked, head shrinking, “I was just going to bring you into the shade…”

Michelangelo motioned to the shade of a nearby tree and Renet started to roll herself over to it while Michelangelo trailed behind.

“I’m sorry.” He repeated again, “Was the hug bad too?”

“O-oh, no, you’re fine just… don’t grab my chair unless I ask you, okay?”

Michelangelo nodded quickly. “Yes Ma’am! And thanks again for, you know, making sure we don’t burn a fiery death in TCRI.”

“Oh yeah, no biggie.” She nodded; the ice cream in her hand was quickly disappearing. “I really enjoy being out here with all the sun and the grass and the bugs! Maaaan I love the bugs!”

“I didn't get out much as a child either.” Michelangelo related, “It was so fun when I got to learn about all the critters and— and watching the stars and the sun rise! And it never gets old because it’s always so different!”

“Well I’m glad to finally experience it.” Renet finished off her cone and then rolled a little further so her front was in the sun; she closed her eyes against the warmth, the light bouncing off her scales in a flashy display, like sunbeams on water. Her skin seemed to glow radiant like light amber, the baby blue headscarf catching the breeze. “The wind is like the sweetest honeydew on my skin… and it’s like I can taste the colors of the world!”

“Well, if you wanna enjoy even more of the world…” Michelangelo started, rubbing his head, “Maybe you want to come eat with me and my family?”

Renet opened her eyes and looked to Michelangelo. “I’d love to!

While his brothers were exploring, Donatello was content to stay at the table near the girls. He had been away for so long that there was a seemingly endless amount of social media he needed to catch up with, so he took the opportunity to get a head start on it. Occasionally April or Sunita would throw a shrimp or a burger his way to use him as a taste tester, but he didn't mind. Scrolling was certainly working up an appetite.

Something hit him in the face. Donatello groaned and reached up, having to swipe a few times before he was able to pull it off, and when he did he was hit with a wave wave of confusion. It was a cherry blossom flower— not just a petal, but a full, blooming flower! Even as Donatello held the stemless thing in his hand, it seemed to open a little wider, the dew drops on its petals dripping down and dampening his palm.

Donatello looked around and saw no tree, nor anyone carrying such flowers that could have been lost. Carefully, his fingers traced along the pink curves, soft as melted butter. He stood up, and when he did, he looked down. In the grass just ahead of him was a trail of flowers, blooming before his very eyes and stretching toward the warmth of the sun. The trail was expanding closer to him until the flowers came to him, gentle stems tickling his ankles as he lifted his feet to see the spectacle better. The blooming flowers led to a golden rift at the end of the trail, similar to Draxum’s except with flowers instead of vines. A rift identical to the one that had rescued Donatello and his brothers from The Sea of Trees.

“I told you your brothers would come.” Said a familiar voice— the kirins voice!

And then the flowers were gone, and so was the rift, and so was the voice.

“Don, food’s done.” April called, then put a hand on her hip and gave a frustrated huff when it seemed Donatello wasn’t listening to her.

“Y-yeah, be there in a second.” The hand that once held the cherry blossom felt empty now in its absence, and it took Donatello several long heartbeats to turn back to his meal. “Thanks April… it looks great.”

“It better!” April laughed, “Then again I’d bet anything looks great to you given the past two weeks you spent alone.”

“Yeah…” And Donatello looked to the table and saw a basket of berries sitting there for him, shining with a heavenly glow, “Alone.”

[bluesgras]

so I pony-fied the sd! Disaster twins. You get zero context

[humanradiojmp]

I made another art piece. sort of

I may or may not do full turnarounds of the boys, but at the very least, I redid the Donnie one (originally called ‘Star’ but I renamed him to ‘Delli’). I initially redid it to see if I could put the goggles on top of his head like the show, but with his horn it just didn’t work out. And then ether was some issues with the mane and how it looked, but after a while I got it figured out. Overall, I’m pretty happy with this turnaround I did for him.

First picture is the turnaround of my take on Donnie in the MLP universe, called Delphinium ‘Delli’ Daze. He’s a half pony-half kirin, and ‘twin’ brother to Neo. The first of the four figures is done more ROTTMNT style, with the rest being MLP with my own take. All but the third figure is based on the gear style predominate in the show, with the third being season 2 finale/movie style.

The second picture is a head turnaround sketch, mostly meant as a means to figure out how the mane falls on the head around the mask. The mask does cover more of the head than Neo’s, but still leaves room for the mane to poke out.

Rise of the TMNT... but it’s MLP

I literally woke up one day and thought “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles… but it’s MLP” and have spent the past week making designs for the four turtle brothers as hypothetical characters of the MLP:FiM franchise. Each one is a half-pony-half-creature character, as I figured that would be the best way to translate the four different turtles as MLP characters. I also thought a little bit of lore for each one, and thought that the characters would be part of a comic series within Equestria (kind of like the Power Ponies or Shadow Spade in the MLP franchise, or Jupiter Jim in the ROTTMNT franchise).

First on the list is Leonardo, called Neon “Neo” Brightlight in the MLP verse. This was initially done before I decided the brothers would be half pony-half creatures, but decided to leave Neo as is. He’s a full pony, a unicorn, who acts as the face man and medic of the team. He’s still the egotistic, pun making teen we all know and love, and is good at making strategies for fights. He does try to learn different spells that he thinks will help both him and his brothers, but he finds almost all of them difficult. He does, however, have a knack for portaling magic, so mostly focuses on that. [And yes, him being just a unicorn feeds into his inferiority complex, especially when he’s made the leader. Compared to the fact his brothers are half something awesome and have powers/magic related to that, he’s just a run of the mill unicorn that can barely do anything beyond basic magic. The portaling magic he tries to work at doesn’t even function half the time. Not to mention he knows he’s still the odd one out as a pony because of the weird spots he has (I imagine, before mutation, he resembled a regular pinto horse and the spots were merely a lighter shade of his coat color/white/off-white, but after mutation, the spots become brightly colored to resemble Leo’s slider stripes). He just doesn’t understand why “Draxum” had him in the mix in the first place, or why anyone wants him. But he wouldn’t trade his place with his family for anything.] With the design, I again made him a unicorn that resembles a pinto horse, having brightly colored spots to make a call back to Leo’s stripes. He has the original gear design pre-season 2 finale modified to fit a pony’s body, and has the same color green as Leo for eye color. I took some inspiration from various human designs of the TMNT and absolutely love the idea of Leo being a blond, whether natural or dyed. I just wish I made Neo’s mane a little fuller, it seems just a little too flat. And Neo is one of the two brothers that has a cutie mark, stars in a neon light like design. 

Next up, we have Leo’s twin Donatello, called Starry Haze (“Star” or “Hazy” as nicknames) in the MLP verse. I initially was thinking of making him either an earth pony or another unicorn before I went with the half-half design. In this version, he’s a half pony-half kirin who’s more focused on learning everything he can about science and tech than mastering magic. The easily prone to destruction and autistic younger twin to Neo, he spends most of his free time reverse engineering various tech he can get his hooves (claws?) on. He is often at odds with others because of his difficulties with emotions (doesn’t help that when he gets angry, he becomes a nirik and can set things on fire; I imagine the meltdown in Donnie vs Witch Town, he would just be ablaze as he says science is superior) especially when it comes to other kirin, but he does care deeply for his family. Design wise, I had a lot of fun with it and was pretty easy to churn out. I again took inspiration from various human TMNT designs and decided to give Star a sort of dreadlock inspired mane and tail look, being a little on the long side so it can allude to the would be full mane if he was full kirin. For the scales, the kirin has scales resembling leaves, but I decided to give him nine big square scales to resemble Donnie’s battle shell. Reddish brown eyes because I personally prefer that to the heterochromia look, and having his goggles around his neck instead of on his head, because otherwise it would have been too much going on in a single area. And, something specific for this, Star lost his horn in an accident as a colt and has used an artificial one since (I imagine someone had helped him and built his first version of the artificial horn and this sparked Star’s interest in science). (also, to anyone who might say artificial horns can’t work, MLP:FiM Season 4, Episode 6, “Power Ponies”. Masked Matter-Horn is technically a Pegasus with a false horn, and I’d like to think that, because both the Power Ponies and this take on TMNT take place in a fictional comic verse, the rules of how things work can be bended to fit the story; so shut up)

Following Star is this verse’s take on Michelangelo, called Speckles or “Keles”. I knew I wanted him to be a pegasus in this version because he’s so bouncy (i imagine he’s kind of like Rainbow Dash in that he’s always flying or just hovering most of the time), and decided with the half-half he would be half pony-half (metamorphosis) changeling. Cheerful and artistic, Keles brings the razzmatazz to the fights and acts as the wildcard of the group. While he is often the one to be the optimist in the group, he isn’t afraid to speak the hard truth with “Dr. Delicate Touch.” He cooks for the family and is the first pony in the group to make amends with “Draxum”, much to everyone’s distress. Being half-changeling, he can change aspects of his appearance without much of a second thought, but full body transformations take a lot of concentration and only lasts a few minutes.  Again, I knew I wanted Keles to be a pegasus based pony, so the drawing part wasn’t too hard to figure out. What was difficult was the color. Obviously orange gear but beyond that I had to come back to it. Looking at the changelings in the show, they either have a complementary or analogous color palette, so I went analogous (yellow, yellow-green, green). For the most part he’s fully pony in design and the changeling aspect comes in via his transformation ability, but he does have a few changeling aspects to the design with his “ears”, eyes, and crystal thingies on chest (I also did temporarily think about giving him insect wings, but I didn’t want to draw that so, yeah). Originally he was going to have a coat design similar to Sunburst, but I went with a more spotty design to resemble Mikey’s spots (and maybe also a call back to how changelings used to look, unintentionally). Once more, I was inspired by various human TMNT designs and gave him a curly mane, which also added to the bouncy, light on his hooves idea. And he is the only other pony besides Neo that has a cutie mark, a spray painted playing card.

Last, but certainly not least, we have Raphael, called Rimram, “Ram” or “Rammy” as a nickname. He’s the oldest and tallest/biggest as a half pony-half dragon. And it was actually the decision to make Raph pony part dragon that inspired the idea of them all being half pony-half creatures. Being the biggest and oldest, Ram is the one to often stand between his brothers and certain harm (especially because many are intimidated by him being half-dragon), taking and dealing a lot of damage. Also being part dragon, he sometimes has moments of rage and greed that are hard to control. But his love for his family and some different calming methods help curve that down. With the design, even though I knew I wanted him to be half-dragon, how that played out into his design was rather difficult to figure out. Had to futz around with it a little bit before I got something I was happy with. I’d figure his front legs could act almost like hands and he can actually hold stuff with his claws, and while it may not look like it, he can walk on just his back legs, but only for a short time. Of course, I had to make him spiky and made the decision that he has horns but no visible ears (I tried to make the horns allude to alligator snapping turtle spikes, but I'm not sure how well I executed that idea). Green with pink scales, because why not.

(Also, side note in case anyone’s wondering: With the weapons, I was thinking more along the lines of what could work with a character that can’t really grab things with hands. For the most part, unless they’re a unicorn or have some way to use magic to lift/wield stuff, most of the time ponies use their mouths to handle things and can use their hooves to a certain degree. With pegasi and other similarly winged creatures, I have seen them use their wings to hold and sometimes grab things, so they can use them as well as their mouths. So, mostly the weapons would hypothetically be used when needed, but most of the time they would be fighting with kicks and the like. Neo(Leo) and Star(Donnie) can obviously use their horns/magic to use their weapons, but they can wield them via mouth and hooves when needed. Keles(Mikey) can use both nunchakus simultaneously with mouth and wing, and Ram(Raph) uses his mouth, claw hands, and tail (since I imagine it can act as an extra limb like Splinter’s tail. Also, also, I gave Ram a jutte instead of tonfas or sais because of the mobility factor, and thought it would be better to use a single weapon instead of a dual wielding. Though I guess either one could be single use; I don’t know anything about any of these weapons outside of the show - and other TMNT shows - so there’s probably some things I could be missing.)
