ROTTMNT FANS HEAR ME OUT PLEASE

Look, I know a lot of people are going to ignore this, but I'm going to say it anyway, it's like this, how about, in each and every post that the official TMNT account makes, we mention Rise in the comments? No matter what, we have to mention Rise somehow, even if it's just asking for a third season. PLEASEEEEEEEEE I know I sound ridiculous here and this post won't change much, but please, it doesn't hurt, let's try to save ROTTMNT.

BECAUSE THERE IS STILL HOPE

Btw I apologize for any grammatical errors regarding my English, it's not my first language and I'm writing this with the help of Google translate, so please let me know about any mistakes!

Body Language Descriptions

-> feel free to edit and adjust pronouns as you see fit.

Anxiety/Nervousness

She fidgeted with the hem of her shirt, her fingers tugging nervously at the fabric as she struggled to find the right words.

They bit their lower lip.

He looked away, unable to meet her gaze, a clear indication of his guilt.

She absentmindedly rubbed her neck.

He chewed his nails, a nervous habit that he couldn't seem to quit.

They rubbed their hands together nervously.

He tightened his jaw.

She felt beads of sweat forming on her brow, betraying her calm facade as her heart raced.

Frustration/Impatience

Their fists clenched at their sides.

He tapped his fingers rhythmically against the table, a clear sign of impatience as he waited for her to finish.

He rolled his eyes, the gesture full of exasperation as he dismissed her words.

She let out a heavy sigh, the sound heavy with resignation as she faced the inevitable.

He threw his hands up in defeat.

Curiosity

He leaned forward in his chair, eager to hear more, his eyes sparkling with curiosity.

She raised an eyebrow, her expression skeptical as she questioned his intentions.

She tilted her head slightly.

He watched intently, his eyes wide with wonder as he took in every detail of her story.

Confidence/Assertiveness

He stood tall with his shoulders back, projecting confidence even in the face of uncertainty.

They sat on the edge of their seat.

She gestured wildly, her hands moving animatedly as she tried to express her excitement.

He stood with his hands on his hips, exuding an air of authority and control over the situation.

They held their chin up high, projecting self-assurance even in the face of adversity.

Defensiveness/Resignation

He crossed his arms over his chest, a defensive posture that spoke volumes about his discomfort.

He braced himself against the wall, a protective stance.

She folded her hands in her lap, a sign of restraint as she fought the urge to speak.

They shrank back slightly, their shoulders hunching as if trying to make themselves smaller in the face of criticism.

He held his breath momentarily, steeling himself for the inevitable conflict he sensed was coming.

She covered her face with her hands, overwhelmed by the situation as she tried to block out the world.

Thoughtfulness/Concentration

She furrowed her brow in concentration, her mind clearly racing as she tried to solve the problem at hand.

She nodded slowly, processing the information, her expression thoughtful and contemplative.

He stared blankly into space, lost in thought as he processed what had just been revealed.

He drummed his fingers on the table, the rhythmic sound a sign of his deep contemplation.

She tapped her foot lightly, her mind racing.

Eagerness/Excitement

He paced back and forth, his restless energy manifesting in the constant movement as he considered his options.

She bent forward, her elbows resting on her knees, a sign of intimacy and engagement in the conversation.

She swayed slightly from side to side, a subconscious display of her nervous energy as she waited for the verdict.

He bounced on his toes, his excitement palpable.

She jumped up and down, a spontaneous display of her joy that couldn’t be contained.

ok, allow me a rant about the line between sonic's eyes for a second

if you don't see what i'm talking about, i have highlighted the line in red:

this isn't just there for no reason, it serves a purpose. it is the junction of sonic's eyebrows, which is important to establish here. it's the little crease to show separation of the eyebrows and intensify his expression. it's present in most official 3d models and renders of modern game sonic, which i believe has overexaggerated its importance in the eyes of some artists.

it can be very easily be stylized out while still keeping sonic recognizable and still looking like he has two distinct eyes! the brow crease is not important for sonic's recognizability or anatomy.

the Triangle of Delineation is what actually makes his eyes into two seperate entities! that's the most important part, and it's present in pretty much all interpretations of his design that keep the monoeye. they still need some degree of separation to read like eyes. it's the Triangle that helps separate the eyes from each other!

(otherwise his eyes just look like a visor. don't be like ron lim, kids)

the eyebrow crease can most be easily seen as an eyebrow crease appearing and disappearing as he scrunches his muscles in the movie design! once again, the crease is not essential for modern sonic to be readable as modern sonic.

so why, why, why, why, why god why do i see people draw him like THIS???

this does not read. it looks like he has four eyebrows. it looks like he has two expressions on at once. the crease stays on his 3d model when his eyes open wide because his eyebrows can't move independently of his eyes in most rigs and the brow crease is dug right into the model itself. it is a technical limitation and stylistic choice. double eyebrows like this, however, do NOT occur in official art.

in several artists' interpretations of him, the eyebrow crease stays even if he is making varied / wide eyed expressions, and there is only one continuous shape for each eyebrow; no additional putty tubes put on top. i've also noticed that artists who commit to The Crease are more likely to reign in sonic's worried expressions so they don't have to lift his brows too far up and away.

with artists like evan stanley, who like to utilize movement of the brows for expression, the crease can disappear. if he is making a worried expression, the Triangle of Delineation stays, but the crease tends to move upward with the rest of his expression; if it stays, his brows are one continuous shape until the junction of his eyes. (i'm aware there's also some yardley in here)

now let's add the Crease to a few of these and see what it does to the expressions:

yikes..... see what that does to the readability and shapes?

so, in conclusion: keep in mind that the junction of his eyes has a stylistic purpose, and sometimes that stylistic purpose can be detrimental to whatever you're trying to get across on sonic's (or any other monoeyed character's) face! if you're creasing his eyebrows, make sure the brows are each one continuous putty-snake shape, and don't muddy up what you're trying to communicate by adding more eyebrow shapes. this has been a PSA

A little bit of a longer one, but had to do it! Another animatic for @somerandomdudelmao original comic Marble Sky! It's a fun time and I thought to myself as I was reading it "How would the Marmors hunt and what would that look like?!?" So, here we are! This took a second, however I think it was worth it in the end. :) I learned a lot from this piece and I hope you all enjoy it! GO READ THE COMIC!!! Marble Sky
