have some sainwb future designs of my fav bois

[heckitall]

some sainwb bois :)

Do the sainwb twins have 3 dad's or is one a dad and the other 2 uncles? Like do all three take a fatherly role in their upbringing?

Also I love that Lee and Dee have white/black masks. Did they pick them themselves or were they assigned?

took a lil break from commissions to answer this! had some fun with it, so thank you for the ask :)

as for the twins' mask selection, that was all Splinter. i think it was probably the last big "fatherly" thing he did before allowing his three sons to take the helm on raising two tiny turtles.

he's paid his dues already, yanno? let him be the fun grandpa for a bit.
