Day 1: Favorite Turtle

YEEHAW! DAY 1 OF TMayNT!! @tmaynt

Leonardo my beloved <3 I thought about drawing every iteration of Leo before my brain cell kicked back in and went, no that’s insane? So i settled for drawing each Leo from each tv series! Including the one that will be coming out on paramount at some point. Made two versions bc i couldn’t decide between doing this challenge in a more inktober style or just going ham, i eventually settled on doing both and seeing how quickly i get burnt out lmao. So we’ll see in the future if colored ones stay or not.

Wanna give a special thanks to the creator @mikasleaf of this challenges prompt list btw! This will be the first time I’ve ever participated in a 31 day challenge, but I’m really excited to! So thanks so much for making it!!!

Now for a little anecdote: I adore all the turtles, like genuinely love all of them, so picking a favorite is REALLY HARD. HOWEVER. One really funny thing about me that helped make the choice to draw Leo was the fact that as a child I watched the 03 tmnt show on 4kids. I didn’t really understand all the details with Leo’s character back then, but he was my absolute favorite. Not because of his swords, or the fact he was a good big brother, or a really talented ninja, no, none of that whatsoever. I loved him so much as a kid because of one reason—HE. WAS. BLUE! And blue was my favorite color, so obviously he had to be my favorite turtle. I still adore Leo with all my heart ofc, but now as an adult I horde ALL of the tmnt boys bc i love each of their characters for individual reasons, but this boy right here? He got me into the series all bc he was blue. Gotta love how child brains work lmao.

Oh yeah! I made a Twitter recently, I haven’t posted all my art just yet, but I planned on posting every challenge piece on there as I get used to it. So! I’d you’d like to follow me then feel free!

@tmaynt Day 22: Favorite Turtle Duo

Leo and Raph are my top 2 fav turtles, and I love their duo dynamic as well. Leo and Raph of 2012 team up often and despite how much they get after each other (like typical brothers) they still have each others' back. I often think about the Space Arc episode where Leo tells the others to get back to the ship while he deals with the mercenary that was after them, but Raph going back and waiting for Leo to pull him out while the whole thing explodes behind him. Awesome moment. Lives rent free in my brain. (Leo stop being a self-sacrificial idiot. Thank goodness Raph was there)

bonus 2003 sketch because I love their dynamic SO MUCH as well, but im running behind so I'm not going finish it right now. But yeah I love 2003 Leo and Raph, and one of my fav moments with them is when, after Shredder Strikes Back, and Leo has his run in with The Window, Raph helps him forge new swords.

Hi guysss, here is Leo/Venus. Why both you may ask? Because this beauty is a genderfluid God! A diamondback turtle with a passion for wigs. We stand them! They go by him/they/she

@leosgirl82

They 87 boys! 😍🫠

Every Leo needs a show/book/movie to obsess over that is completely separate from anything related to being a ninja.

It's just nice to see him have his own silly interests.

[hasello]

a little bonus 🐢👽 for this

[tipsynilly]

The twins! I love them so much. Raph was clingy af as a kid and absolutely latched onto Leo

He specifically asked for his bandana to be “just like Big Brother’s”.

💙❤️

I'm drawing Leo, and I've decided he wears wigs and styles them. Not in the fashinista type of way, but he just is a bit insecure. He's kinda jealous that he didn't get hair when he was made but his twin did.

[cabbt]

I think I'm getting better at drawing different iterations of the turtles. It's not perfect but I'm trying lol.

[tipsynilly]

I love this with my whole heart and soul omgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomg
