The Mona Lisa - This Isn't the original, I think they changed a few things on this one 🤔

MAKE A MIRACLE

AND MAKE IT HAPPEN

[omegabenaeart]

Hey, do y'all mind if I make up a design for Rise Mona Lisa?😗

Also comes in pink (for 1987) and blue (for 2012). I figured a yellow could round out the set just a little bit 👉👈

I also have some rambles, gonna put those under a cut so you can choose whether you wanna read those or not. But be warned, it's probably long-winded as shit 😅

First things first, my Mona is a marbled salamander!

Fun fact, the way to tell the difference between male and female marbled salamanders is the color of their markings. Females have gray markings and males have a bright white.

So Mona got gray markings.

Also, another fun fact, I originally designed this Mona to be a leopard gecko, because I wanted her to be yellow. But that felt wrong somehow, and I couldn't figure out why.

Turns out, it's because Mona Lisa in pretty much all iterations is a salamander, and leopard geckos aren't salamanders.

Honestly confused the shit out of me, because I thought Mona in the 87 show was just a generic lizard, and I'm pretty sure she'd been described as just a lizard. And looking it up... yeah, she's kinda just a lizard!

But totally feel free to correct me on that. I'm not an expert on TMNT, I'm just a weird fan.

Either way, salamander just feels more right for Mona, and also more iterations have her as a salamander than not, so I just looked up different salamander species and picked the one I thought was the cutest.

Finally, the hardest part was how I wanted to portray Raph and Mona's relationship, as it's not the same across iterations(obviously).

The first step was figuring out how this Raph and Mona would interact. From what I've seen of the cartoons, Mona can go toe to toe with Raph at something.

In the 87 show, it's snark.

Raph in the 87 show is less aggressive than other iterations to begin with, he's more snarky and sarcastic. His Mona can match his energy and snark right back at him.

In the 2012 show, it's fight.

Raph in 2012 is very aggressive, very strong, and easy to set off. His Mona is a warrior. But not a problem, because Raph loves a woman that can beat his ass.

But now for Rise... I don't know what dynamic I want them to have!

Raph in Rise isn't really snarky. He has his sarcastic moments, but it doesn't make up enough of his personality. And he likes fighting, but a lot of his aggression comes from the fact that he's an overprotective big brother. So what could he meet his match with? Maybe I could relate it more to his hobbies? Like they're both wrestling nerds or something 🤷🏽 Or maybe she has little siblings of her own and they bond over their eldest sibling syndrome 😂

Anyways, this is just some random bullshit I was thinking about. Most of this is still a work in progress, I'm still figuring everything out.

If y'all have suggestions or anything, let me know. I'd like to hear your interpretations on my particular predicament 👍

if you're my friend and haven't read the silmarillion yet, or want to re-read it but are lacking motivation, i can only tell you that if you do i will have an entire collection of posts i collect for you for each chapter and then you will scream a little over one thing and i will spent two hours sending you various posts, fanart i have carefully gallery'd, 20-min-long voice messages losing my mind rambling madly over things, and a bunch of memes. this could be you. read the silmarillion <3

[moondialdoodles]

WOW Hey another Shovel Knight post!! In one day??? That's crazy. I made this video.. AGES ago. Almost last year? Never did share it publicly tho besides amongst a few pals, so here we are!!! A few notes about my thoughts on the claims under the cut, since not all voices are entirely accurate to how I imagine them.

I'll only be addressing the voices that I haven't rated with full accuracy

Shovel Knight

As much as I love the valiant nature of Superman's voice, I like to think he sounds just a little more energetic than the clips I found. Otherwise it's pretty alright!

Shield Knight

I actually really love this pick for Shield Knight, but the clips I found for actual talking sound a little too harsh for Shield Knight. I'm sure there's more, but clips on youtube for the Tangled show go down left and right. I'd think her voice is maybe a smiiidge higher pitched than Cass? Otherwise the vibes are really good!

Plague Knight

Obviously the bitcrushing isn't part of his voice, I thought that itself might've been obvious enough. The vibes are perfect, but something about it just doesn't sound exactly how I want it to. I know someone who pulls out the voice I imagine him with a lot better, but I don't wanna bug him to record a bunch of dialogue just for a brand new video lmao

Mona

As much as the voice itself sounds exactly like I want it to, it could sound just a little more chaotic and excited. That's about it for complaints there though!

Specter Knight

He's soooo close to exactly how I want him to sound. I feel like he'd sound just a little less cool and collected, maybe just a smidge harsher, and it would be absolutely perfect.

King Knight

I'll be real, this one is.. not what I was looking for, but King George is the absolute closest I could get to the vibes I was searching for. Like yeah, King Knight absolutely would have that flauntiness to his voice, but the pitch is too high in my opinion. Something deeper, and I think it'd be just what I'm looking for! Unfortunately I couldn't find anything that really hit that mark though.

Mole Knight

I really like the vibes of this one! If it had just a little more oomph and enthusiasm, like a real authoritative vibe? All it needs.

Treasure Knight

Too deep, but the grizzled feeling? Oh yeah. That's perfect. Just a little higher pitched and it'd be just what I want. Everything else is just right!

Propeller Knight

I'm gonna be honest, the only thing this one needs is the French accent and it's all it needs

Tinker Knight

Wow look a body swap one! A nerdier feeling would be good, but not extremely awkward sort of nerdy feeling. The voice has grown on me a lot since I first gave it to her, so I'd rate the accuracy a bit higher now, but it's still not perfect for my depiction of Tinker (Little side note not relating to the voice, but legitimately I love having just the four girlies on two entirely separate ends of the personality spectrum. Like we have Prism and Shield being the fighter valiant types, then we have Mona and Tinker just being the inventive gremlins of the four who are too much trouble for their own good. Having two duos that oppose eachother like that in vibes is just so immaculate to me)

Chester

A little too young, but the energy is immaculate!! It's close enough, but just not perfect.

Prism Knight

PLEASE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS IS SO GOOD If she sounded Just a little kinder (Like she did in the last speaking clip)? Perfect.

Phantom Striker

I couldn't find much dialogue for this one at the time and for that I apologize, but if he sounded a little more grizzled, it'd be just what I want.

Drill Knight

The threatening vibes are IMMACULATE. It's just what I want in terms of that, but the voice is just too deep. A little higher up? Just what I want. Perfect.

Hive Knight

He needs to be slightly more yeehaw More country accent and that's all I want for 'em.

Scrap Knight

Love this little menace She needs to sound older but I ADORE her chaotic energy!!

That's about it though for my commentary and thoughts :) Hope y'all enjoy these! I promised a huge headcanon wall like ages and ages ago, and y'know what maybe it's time I actually get that done to match all these voice claims!
