🎶 Teenage mutant ninja SHARKIES 🎶

Heroes with the fish tails, sharky power!

MASTERPOST

(Individuals pics and yapping under the cut ^^)

HEHE THE HYPERFIXATION CONTINUES this took my several hours bc i draw so slowly and dont realize it so that was great but i really like them ^^

Raph is a great white just bc I thought it fit, Mike is a leopard shark bc of spots and bc little, Leo is a pelagic thresher bc he’s a speedy boy, and Donnie is a shortfin mako bc they’re very smart!

I was trying to find an equivalent to sharks for Donnie and his soft shell but i couldn’t think of a species specific thing so I’ve decided that when they were rescued my Lou, he got burn damage to his snout where his sensing organs are and since sharks rely on that organ a lot due to they’re poor eyesight, he can struggle in seeing things. Technically they all have awful eyesight but the others can sense the electro magnetic fields and whatever so they’re good. Hence Don needs glasses and just still struggles beyond that.

Ummmmm yeah so they all have tails and dorsal fins and little fins on their tails. They each have sets of gills on their necks and rib area while also having lungs. They can breathe underwater then, they just have to keep their mouths closed. I also think their lair situation would be the same with more pools for them since they do like water but their human characteristics don’t make them dependent. Maybe just water lovers and avid moisturizers.

OKAY IF ANYONE WANTS TO SEND ME AN ASK ABOUT THIS ID BE HAPPY TO TALK BUT YOU KNOW UP TO YOU TEEHEEHEEHEE I NEED TO EAT NOW BYEEEEEEE

Sharkie as a nickname for the name Charlotte is so fucking cute i’m weeping

[sm-baby]

me: ohhhh, these mob designs are so /good/ and flowy and cute and I want to give all of them a hug and a cake and-

the part of my brain that has not shut up for five months now: teenage mutant ninja angus, /teenage mutant ninja angus, TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA ANGUS/-

no but seriously i love them so much, tbh so much of this whole blog is just. pure seratonin, thank u for the food

Wehehhe actually Sharky has just been getting me into Rise and its actually why I changed his familiar from rabbit to turtle.

We already considered turtle for him but this was what did it for me. I saw Raph and really liked his body type- and decided that I wanted my hand at drawing turts

Curse of the Clan part 53! @selfindulgenz @scentedcandlecryptid

“How do we track Krang?” Leonardo asked when the story concluded.

“You don’t.” Was Knight’s answer, “If Krang is free, he will be seeking revenge on the ones who trapped him; it may not have been you in this life, but Krang will not see the difference. All you can do is wait and trust your instincts. You wouldn’t have been reincarnated if you couldn’t complete this task. He will come to you, and after he does and you defeat him, the council will be there to clean up the mess…

~~~

Back at the lair, Leonardo was stewing in his own thoughts. He, for one, was never good at waiting. If something had to get done, it had to get done right that moment, as soon as possible. No delays, no time for second guessing. Sitting there on the couch, surrounded by his family, doing nothing was the worst kind of torment! He just wanted Krang to find them and fast so they could handle the conflict and return to their normal lives. All this waiting was driving him crazy and he just felt so helpless—

“I feel the same way, Leonardo.” Splinter’s voice sliced through the silence like a blade and made everyone look toward him.

“What?” Michelangelo asked, the fastest one to break out of the silence that had plagued them.

“I feel helpless too.” Splinter said with a slow nod, closing his eyes in solidarity.

“Too?” Raphael asked slowly.

“Yes.” Splinter said; now he too was confused as he opened his eyes and looked around at the faces staring back at him. “Like… like Blue said.”

Silence, followed by Leonardo saying, “No I didn't…”

“No?” Splinter’s ears pressed back. He looked from Leonardo to the rest, who all shook their heads. “Oh…”

Draxum hummed, unamused. “I guess we found Yoshi’s power.”

More silence. The faint trickling of water was a constant this low in the sewer. The rumble of Donatello’s machines across the lair, the hum of the fridge, the low drone of the television that even Splinter wasn’t paying attention to. Eventually, the steady tapping of Leonardo’s fingers joined the melody of background noise.

“I want a kitten.” Michelangelo stated.

“What?” Raphael, and all others, turned to Michelangelo.

“After this whole Krang thing is done, I want a kitten.” Michelangelo stated again, closing his eyes and nodding matter-a-factly, “A fluffy orange kitten and I’m gonna name him Klunk. And I’m gonna buy him the most expensive cat trees to ignore, and give him wet food every day, and buy him lots of feather toys to play with. And he’ll sleep with me every day.”

There were a few moments of the clan looking around at each other, Michelangelo’s hopeful statements ringing in their minds.

“After we defeat Krang…” Leonardo was the next to talk, mind set on breaking the awkward silence, “You know what we’re gonna do? We’re finally gonna finish that Hip Hop Christmas Album.”

His words were met with groans from his father and siblings and confused murmurs from his friends.

“You’re still on that?” April groaned, shaking her head and laughing.

Leonardo threw his arms into the air in surrender. “It’s a good idea! Just because you’re all lame doesn’t mean a hip hop teenage ninja turtle mutant album isn’t a good idea! Have you heard my voice?”

“More than I would care to have.” Donatello commented, rolling his eyes.

“You’re welcome!” Leonardo said, flopping over to rest against Donatello and pull the softshell close, “Love you brother! And Let me guess; you want uranium when this is all said and done.”

“No.” Donatello said with a scoff, then immediately added, “Well— yeah. But I also wanna rebuild Shelldon…” Donatello carefully removed his necklace so he could hold Shelldon’s memory chip in his hand. He stared at it for a long, drawn out moment before Leonardo carefully brought his hand against Donatello’s so they were holding Shelldon together. Donatello finally smiled. “It… it’ll be my next big project… I really miss him…”

Leonardo smiled and rubbed Donatello’s shoulder, which in turn made Donatello rest his full weight into Leonardo and lay his head on his twin's shoulder. Leonardo welcomed the affection gladly and wrapped an arm around the softshell.

April took a deep breath through her nose. “I… would kinda like to start sending in college applications.” She brushed her hair out of the way of her face, “Thinking about going into journalism…”

That was met with an uproar of applause from all but Draxum, who didn't quite seem to know what college was. April was swarmed by hugs and affectionate touches from her friends as they praised her.

“You know we’ll support you every step of the way, Apes!” Raphael declared.

“Yeah! Just way the word and we’ll get you into any school you want!” Leonardo prodded April’s chest. “Within reason, of course.”

“Okay, we need role models, teachers, sources—we’re missing the references, people!” Donatello immediately pulled out his phone and started on seeking out potential references.

“Guys!” April laughed as she shoved the turtles off of her, “All I saw was I was considering it! Still gotta finish up school first.”

“It never hurts to be prepared.” Donatello said.

“Well… I’m not so sure what I wanna do yet.” Sunita said, laughing weakly as she twiddled her hair, “Maybe just get out in the workforce, try some things out…? Maybe something with children?”

“There’s no rush.” Draxum reassured, “I was well into my adult years before I realized I wanted to be an evil, warring warrior scientist!”

“And ignoring that note…” Splinter said slowly, then cleared his throat, “I want to adopt another goldfish. Since Piebald was flushed and mutated, I’ve been feeling a little bit lonely.”

“We can get you another one, Splints.” April smiled as she patted the old rats back affectionately.

“Pathetic!” Draxum growled, jumping from his seat and onto the table so he could make his announcement loud and proud, “While you waste your time adopting a normal, puny goldfish, I shall adopt a shark! And name him Sharky and train him to fight for our cause.”

“It’s not a competition…” Splinter grumbled, slightly jealous that he hadn't thought of it first.

“What do you want to do Cassandra?” Michelangelo asked innocently.

Cassandra considered. Then, taking a page out of Draxum’s book, she kicked over the chair she was sitting in so she could stand on it like a sailor on the bow of his ship tasting the salty winds.

“I want to rip our enemies to shreds, dance on their graves, then dig them back up and—“

“CJ, CJ, CJ.” Leonardo had to repeat the name a few times before he got Cassandra’s attention, standing up to address her while she stared down at him, “We’ve all been talking about, you know, getting pets and jobs and stuff. Killing and then dancing on the graves of our enemies is just a liiiiiiiittle much. So bring the bar just just a little bit. Just a little. Think smaller.”

Cassandra took a while to answer, struggling to think of just one, small thing she really wanted to do. She flipped her chair back over so she could sit backward in it and rest her head on the backrest. Her eyes lit up all at once and she finally knew what she wanted to do.

“I… kinda really want to rebuild my parents old bakery. It was burned down when I was just a kid and… and it was never rebuilt. It’s their legacy and I want to restore it if I can…”

“Aw, that’s sweet Casey…” April wrapped an arm around Cassandra and gave her a gentle squeeze, “If anyone can do that, it’s the great Cassandra Jones!”

“Thanks, Apes…”

“Raph?” Leonardo said with a gentle urgence, “You’re the last one. What do you want to do when we win?”

“I… it’s kinda stupid…” Raphael rubbed the back of his neck.

“We’ll be the judge of that.” Leonardo said, “Lay it on us!”

“I… kinda wanna do a secret santa gift exchange.” Raphael admitted, “One where we all make the presents and don’t just buy the first cheap thing we see. You know… something more special…”

Leonardo smiled widely. “That’s not stupid at all, hermano. In fact? I think that’s the best one yet!”

Ninja sharks

1) Did Draxum mutate sharks because he liked their "killer instincts"

2) is splinter covered in bite scars from raising baby sharks?

3) since they are more aquatic in nature they probably risk drying out, did a worried new parent splinter keep them in water all the time?

4) is splinter still a rat? Or is he a different animal?

1) Um yes of course ^^ I think he saw something from shark week and was just like enamored with their, as you stated, killer instincts and just snatched some sharkies (I think it would be really funny if he kept them and they were just them)

2) oh yeah and they don’t go away bc the boys remain bitey just bc bitey but they are much less aggressive with it and Splints has gotten kinda used to it, sort of like affectionate biting

3) yesssssss yes he did, while it probably wasn’t completely necessary the extent he went to, the babies didn’t mind and had a bunch of fun with it. They did it less and less as they got bigger bc they didn’t need it as much as when they were little, but they definitely have swim days very often.

4) technically there wouldn’t really be a reason for him to be a different animal… but I think that would make it more fun so now he’s a toad!

HEHEHE THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE ASK

Being completely real I hadn’t thought of some of this till this ask so it was great to start figuring all this out

MASTERPOST

[jadetheblueartist]

Have you thought of any more cute situations to put Raph and Mona in?

>:3

As a matter of fact, yeah :) you inspired me, anon.

So yeah Mona is giving Raph some nice eyeliner, and then there are the babies in a confrontational situation (one where it’s just verbal, otherwise Raph would probably just start smashing things hahaha) Mona is more confrontational for sure and sticks up for him when he’s just trying to keep the peace.

I also couldn’t decide between regular Raph and shark Raph so I did both ^^

And then I am gonna work on one more thing hopefully soon bc I have a long weekend this weekend so perhaps that will happen and then just shark stuff bc I need to do some of that teehee

Beep boop masterpost

[jadetheblueartist]

pssst…..jade….does this make Big mama crab in your shark AU? Crabs are related to spiders and it would just be so funny shdhsjsh (unless you had something else planned 👀)

YOU HAVE GREAT TIMING I DO IN FACT HAVE SOMETHING PLANNED AHKDKDLSHDBDKLSSHSJDKS

I kinda wish I would’ve seen this before I started working on this tho bc I didn’t know that crabs and spiders were related, tho I did have to give her legs that look kinda crab like so perhaps she’s more of an anglerfish-crab yokai ^^

MASTERPOST

Oh and like… I have ideas for some other characters so anybody is free to ask about them bc I need an excuse to draw them (cough cough, April or Drax, cough cough)

[jadetheblueartist]

NEED! MORE! SHARK BOYSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!

PLSSSSSSSSSSSS

That's what they's mouthing

OKAY OKAY SO I’m sure I’ll be drawing them more soon this month bc I’m doing a little bit of oc tober but in the meantime i have a lava girl for the shark boy :D

ITS MONA AND SHES A BATTLE NEXUS WARRIOR BUT LIKE ITS BASICALLY JUST PRO SPORTS FOR HER ATM SO ITS GREAT FOR HER BUT ANYWAY

I was pretty chill about Raph Mona but thanks to my expert @plumsodapop they’re rattling all around in my brain and I’m going crazy now yay anyway little comic about their first meeting while the boys are hanging in the hidden city

AHDHJDKDHFHDKKDKDJDHDHJDJSKSJSGFHFJ yeah idk if you wanna know more about her or have any specific suggestions for some drawings of the sharky boys feel free to visit my ask box hehehe

[jadetheblueartist]

And now we have four more members of the sharky family ^^

I just wanted them together what can I say (a mini villain collection can happen too once Drax gets done yayyyyyy)

MASTERPOST

[jadetheblueartist]

Hope you dont mine me bugging you with shark au questions

Sheldon would be a shark too. It'd be funny if he was like a hammerhead.

Are humans more afraid of the teenage sharks than the teenage turtles? It'd probably be harder to use clothes to hide.

Who is the fastest swimmer? Who can swim the longest? And most importantly does leo still like Hawaiian pizza?

Oh I don’t mind the questions at all /gen I love that you’re interested in it!

-um yea hammerhead is perfect for him since they’re known to be pretty smart and he’s a computer hahaha also the whole 360 vision thing is something since i assume he has some sort of surveillance feature, plus he’d be acting as Donnie’s eyes a lot of the time. Also his name is F.I.N.N.E.A.S now :D

-yeah, sharks have a lot worse of a reputation than turtles so they gotta be careful with that. The costumes are usually more involved since they have to hide the dorsal fins and the tails. Thus there are many more old lady outfits (Donnie is living his best life)

-fastest swimmer is Leo, it could be Donnie once he starts to get more athletic and applies himself like in lair games

-Raphie can swim the longest ^^

-and yes XD Leo is not giving up his Hawaiian pizza hahaha

Ew it looks so blurry sgdjdklshdhdkagaahskfj

Teenage Mutant Ninja Sharkies Draxum!!!!

MASTERPOST

Fun fact: moths often represent transformation and going to the light which I think suits Drax’s character development and going to the light side very well. I also didn’t find this out until after I decided just based on vibes so yay happy coincidences also draxum is a mint moth (in the first pic he’s wearing wing armor)

The goyles are the same just bc 🤷‍♀️ I dunno if I’ve drawn them before but they’re so hilarious I love it

I’m also imagining Mikey just staring at his wings one day and just saying they look like pizza and Draxum has a slight crisis hahaha

Dude i was just thinking about the movie, how does a lack of shell by being a shark Leo's injuries from the Kraang invasion? Would he suffer a dorsal injury or perhaps a tail injury? Would he be less durable without the natural protection of his shell?

How does Casey look btw? He doesn't have a reason for the slider stripes on his mask anymore

OHHHHHH MY YEAH YEAH YEAH I hadn’t thought about that yeah but oh yeah bro would barely survive the movie he’s gonna be in rough shape. Definitely some fin and tail injuries and potential some spine injury bc oof Krang really got him didn’t he. He’d be a little more durable since I think shark skin is pretty durable; or at least mutant shark skin is, but it does not compare to his shell.

As for mister Casey that is a very good question. I tried to include Leo’s stripes on himself a little in the way that the gray part meets the white part

So I kinda tried to do a similar thing to Casey’s mask. Also I made the gas mask bar things? Idk what they are but i tried to make them more teeth like. I also pointed the top of his mask to be a fin be why not hehe

[jadetheblueartist]

SHARKIE QUESTIONS!!

Do they ever knock things over with their big ol tales?

Does April get to ride on them while they swim?

WOULD THE MUD DOGS BE TURTLES INSTEAD?

Are they mainly carnivorous?

Does Donnie ever just… run into walls? Like when he isn’t wearing glasses or contacts? (Idk it seems funny in my mind)

Okay that’s all for now :D

SHARKIE ANSWERS!

-Yep hahaha especially Leo bc his is so long. They don’t hit stuff in the lair too often unless people move things around bc those are some well adjusted sharkies, but on missions (think some closer areas like maybe Big Mamas hotel) they be knocking things down

-Yes of course ^^ Big sis gets her privileges

-Ok ok ok so I’m trying to use a sort of system for changing the species to keep things consistent (bc I really like that) and it’s more or less switching them from whatever animal category they are (mammal, reptile, bird, etc) to one more watery. So I’ll have to think of the mud dogs designs for specifically later but as an idea, Danny is a rat type thing I think so I’d change him to some sort of amphibian or reptile (potentially a turtle bc I DO want at least one turtle), and then Leonard- what is Leonard? Lemme look it up….. an ogre? Ok well apparently he’s an ogre so like maybe he’d be a mer ogre or something hahah idk the system is flexible, I do know tho that since Mickey is an eel he would be the end of the system and get changed into a mammal so yeah fun stuff

-Yep! Since all of their sharkness is struck carnivorous, they’re mainly carnivores. Other stuff still is good for them since they are part human but about 50% of their diet is meat. They might survive on less they would just see the consequences of less nutrition

-Oh even when he is wearing glasses or contacts that boy is just hitting walls. (Idk if it’s sharkly factual but just go with me ig hahaha) so they can’t see fine details or many colors naturally so there isn’t much Don can do to fix that with glasses so his detail perception is improved but the color blindness isn’t. That with his eyes not working great in the first place and his electromagnetic sensors being messed up, he’s struggling, that’s why most of his tech assists in that sort of thing: sensing his surroundings, navigating him, etc etc

(Oh and here’s a little scale of most to least visually impaired [this goes for both being able to see details and color, not electromagnetic sensing since everyone but Donnie is great on that]: Donnie, Raph, Leo, Mikey)

Oh and then also this makes their color coordination funny bc Donnie swears his favorite color is purple and only purple and he can tell but one time Leo replaced his things with blue and Don didn’t notice and was so mad when he found out

OKAY THESE WERE SO FUN THANK YOUUUUUUU

MASTERPOST
