#tmnt 2003 leatherhead

Soft Leather.

Back at it with the babies, with leatherhead since our traumatized doctor needs more love.

You know, testing their new toy for them is meaningless when they find a new gym to climb.

Day 30 of TMayNT: favorite human villain

"He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you." - Nietzsche

⬆️that sentence reminds me so much of Bishop

I made this drawing some days ago and now I can finally publish it 😌

I love agent bishop’s concept, like, he fights everything that’s not human loosing his humanity in the process

Plus, he represents the threat of being discovered by the government, emphasizing the fact that they cannot rely on anyone (though in tmnt 03 they do get a lot of allys like the justice force, but you know what I’m trying to say)

Plus he’s a really cool character on his own (i love him and the narrative that he creates, but I hate him so so much)

TMayNT Day 6! Like a lot of people I think, I really like 2003 Leatherhead, he deserves the world.

Thinking about 2003!Leatherhead and how sad, beautiful and poetic his story arc is. He's such a great character and I feel like there weren't enough episodes with him. I need to see more of him and turtles hanging out together or just anything wholesome really

[scarredwoods]

A small headcanon that I don't think I've seen anyone else talk about is the possibility of Leatherhead also being a part of O'Neil Tech in the 2003 series.

In the Fast Forward season, we find out that Donnie and April opened and Co-owned O'Neil Tech together. I mean, we even see Donnie in disguise as he's cutting the ribbon during the official opening. And I thought that it would've been nice if they discussed with Leatherhead if he wanted to become an official scientist at their lab and have the funding that he needs to create his inventions during the construction of the building. The reasoning was because if he agreed, then he would be given his own lab big and spacious enough to maneuver in so that his big size wouldn't give him any trouble.

I even imagined a railway station from the lab to his home in the subway station for easy transportation.

I mean, just imagine him in his official white coat with an official name tag that said Dr. Leatherhead. Granted, only April and Donnie would see it, but it would look so cute, and he'd be happy anyway.

Underdark 2: The Undarkening! Aka @plothooksinc blessed us all with a sequel to Underdark; Chiaroscuro which focuses on Raph and Donnie's side of the story and the rescue operation. Obviously, I enjoyed it greatly. I sketched the first doodle immediately after KJ showed me the first wip of the story. The 2nd is for celebrating her finishing the fic <3 And as an extra, here's a couple Mikey&Leos from the regular story. One of them I published with my first Underdark fanart, but I feel it might been too hidden under Read More. The other one is new ✨

Illustrations of the turtles' memories from the seventh episode of Back to the Sewer, "Identity Crisis." Minor bits of trivia

Leonardo and Donatello only have seven memory illustrations whereas Raphael and Michelangelo have eight (I double checked this in my files.)

The memories based on the Fast Forward season feature their associated turtles with white slits for eyes rather than irises and pupils like the other illustrations based on previous seasons.

Leonardo is the only turtle not to have a memory associated with the Fast Forward season, although his memory involving Renet does depict his eyes as white slits like the other Fast Forward memories

(Posting this for now till school slows down and I can draw ask responses)

Recently people might have noticed I'm drawing LH and the babies for Papadile and Croctots very differently. That is just me me being silly and having fun designing stuff. For the main story they look how I usually draw them. The only reason I made these alternate designs is because I heavily restricted myself for story purposes because neither LH or the bois have any markings in 2003 and for the fic to fit into canon more. And I love markings so I kept it limited. For this alternate version I pretty much branched out more so this is what they all would have looked like with an original backstory story/ designs withough those restrictions. I might do something with them in the future but idk ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Ill probably talk more bout them later...

TMayNT Day 8: Favorite Turtle Ally Dynamic

Day 8 of @tmaynt Prompt: Favorite Turtle Ally Dynamic! I know i already talked about it during Day 6's prompt, but like, come on! These two are the cutest! Sweet smart boi's that can kick ass together! And after Good Genes Part 1&2, and seeing how determined he was to save him was just so sweet! And his "You will not touch my friend! If he must be subdued, then I will do it! Not you Fiend! "

Just, AHHHHHHHH! My baby bois! I just wish we got to see these two interact way more after that. (Lucky for me that I have my own stories where they do just that! Bro's nights in the lab, let's GOOOOO!)

[camarilla-arts]

More various TMNT sketches done while rewatching. Surprisingly few actual turtles. Rise!Karai is my fave version of Karai and I am so glad to see at least one universe have some kind of healthy family relationships. If they ever make another good crossover I want all the Karai's to meet. I need that.

having fun with different brushes too.

okay okay so the 2003 turtles. The mutagen is a byproduct of Utrom technology right. And made hem super strong and intelligent, but when Splinter describes their mutation he mostly emphasizes intelligence. Which is the opposite of what Bishop's mutagen does in season 4, instead of increased intelligence and super durable bodies you get reverting to lizard brain and cells breaking down. Or was the cells breaking down only Donny because of how it interacted with his mutation? I think it's not specified and for a few reasons I prefer option 1 but I'll have to go back and check

Anyway. Thinking about how some versions of turtles have Hamato Yoshi's DNA, thus part human, while others are literally hyper-intelligent giant turtles. Technically 0% human just seem humanoid because of how the mutagen affected them

So so what I'm saying is. They're not part Utrom either, like it's just a byproduct, however, it makes more sense that the heightened intelligence would be making a creature more Utrom-like rather than humanoid

And so and so see guys the the hive mind. The 2003 turtles, the codependency the silent communication. The type of intelligence the mutagen caused them to develop specifically being a kind that would lead to: extremely tight knit social unit, each member responsible for a certain role in order to make one whole, loyalty to a cause and/or leader. Also the extreme importance for little blob creatures living cooperatively like that of not physically harming each other, as well as durability (Ch'rell the cockroach)

And then! think about Leatherhead. Developing that type of intelligence while also being socialized with the Utrom. And going from that to being completely alone. And the fact that after being so traumatized by Bishop he retreats back to the familiarity of the last thing that traumatized him so deeply, because he's so afraid of hurting his friends. The fact that the only people on earth who can understand his specific social needs are right there and want him with them but he can't.

TMayNT Day 6: Favorite Mutant Ally

Sixth day of @tmaynt! As far as mutant allies go, Leatherhead is definitely a good one to have! This drawing sort of ended up as a cross between 2003 Leatherhead, and what I imagine he might look like if he was in Rise (apparently, a bit similar in build to Rise Raph).

GDAY TUMBLR

How's about some Pride Month turtles 🏳‍🌈🫶🫶✨

These were all requested on the fabled app, Instagram! Had SO much fun with these, I hope you have fun with it too!!

... How do you explain LH making it to the FF future?

I'm guess you're talking about the headcanon that I made of Leatherhead having his own lab and working at O'Neil Tech. But either I worded it wrong, or maybe you didn't read it right, but Leatherhead doesn't go to the future. During the FF season, we were TOLD that Donnie and April opened a lab together during the present, passing the ownership down during the generations. And then, 100 years later, the ownership fell onto Cody.

My headcanon takes place during the present when the lab is under construction. Like I said, they ask Leatherhead if he wants to work as an official scientist in their lab, and once he agrees, they made sure to add a bigger lab in the blueprints just to give him extra room to work with.

Since it's harder to disguise a giant mutant alligator as a human with just a hat and a trench coat, he obviously couldn't be there to cut the ribbon during the opening.

Edit: whelp tumblr killed the quality and I don't know how to fix it >:T

It looked fine on desktop but seeing on my phone makes it look like poop

If you download the image and open it in your gallery the quality looks fine ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
