Hey hey, I just wanted to drop in a post of a print and a commission I just got from @shellsweet!

Her art is absolutely amazing, and she’s such a radical person! I’d love it if you checked out her work and followed! 💙

A Rocket and Leo crossover is the coolest thing ever!!

RABID AND FERAL!

As soon as I saw that @shellsweet was opening coms. for sketch covers I knew I had to ZOOM! Not only was the entire commissioning experience perfect, but ShellSweet is an absolute joy to interact with! Professional, quick to respond/communicate, and extremely kind/sweet (as her name suggests)! I requested for my and @languajix's GGTH!AU Donatello be drawn and it feels so surreal to have our boy on the cover of an actual TMNT comic! He looks amazing! I couldn't be more happy with the final product! Shipping was so fast too? Pretty sure this got sent out over the weekend!! Everything was packaged so nicely and I can't wait to display the comic and the poster with the rest of my slowly growing turtle hoard! Thank you again so much ShellSweet, i'm over the moon and I haven't stopped shaking since opening the package hahaa! ( ๑ ˃̵ᴗ˂̵)و ♡

I revamped my Cherub ref to actually be accurate now lmao. The last ref had a whole bunch of outdated design choices/info.

(Honestly I'd kinda wanted to just redraw a whole new ref instead of updating the old art, but I'm a lazy bitch and did not feel like redrawing the very detailed version of her leg prosthetic again.)

thanks to @shellsweet for letting me use the art of Cherub’s hand for my ref sheet!! 💗💗💗

Don’s always been a practical turtle. What better date than running errands with your partner? 💖

Happy 40th Anniversary TMNT!

It's really crazy to think that after all these years, I still find myself loving these bois! I've talked about it before, but i found this franchise when I was 9, that was in 2005, and I had just started watching the 2003 series. I believe the first episode I saw was "The Darkness Within" from season 3. I was hooked instantly! Then I watched 87, the 90's live action films, then the 2007 movie! When Nickelodeon got a hold of them, they made 2012, a version that too this day I still don't like. But there were aspects of it that i enjoyed. The Bayverse Films where in the same "This makes me feel a way" category, and while the second film has grown on me, the first one is still pretty rough.

And then RISE came, and....oh boy. I was part of the crowd that was of the foolish mindset of "It's different, and therefore ruined"! But it wasn't until pretty recently, in 2021, that I actually watched it. And it floored me! I hadn't realized just HOW MUCH I missed this franchise in my life, but this series pulled me back in. And I've since been swimming in a pool of Turtle Content, learning more and more then I ever thought I would about this fandom set around four turtles!

This show taught me a lot as a kid, and it's continued to help me through some of the worst times of my life! And it helped be discover a lot of things about myself. For better or for worse.

I've since seen some amazing artists in the fandom like @shellsweet @sassatello and @mishacakes ! I've learned so much from the fandom too, both about the series itself and how to hone my craft better!

I owe a fuck ton to this brand, and I honestly think, if it hadn't been for The Turtles, I don't think I'd be the same artist I am now! So thank you! Thank you to the fandom, to Kevin Eastman & Peter Laird, to Sam Riegel, and to so so many others for making this fandom and series! I don't think I'd be here without you! And most of all, thank you four brothers! Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo.

Cowabunga!

Happy National TMNT Day and look what I get to post after finishing my old TMNTtober 2023 prompts! It’s these two OCs by @shellsweet

I barely know them but they look pretty neat and I already can't wait to see more of them. I'll be posting them on IG soon enough.

[sassatello]

After reading the last question, are there any female turtle oc you could recommend 🙏. I recently got back into the TMNT fandom after watching the Mutant Mayhem movie 🥛🫣 , so the only female turtles I know are the Canon ones, but the TV series when Venus first appeared made me dislike her till this day (the writers did her wrong). I'm pretty sure many people in the fandom have more interesting female turtle oc

@shellsweet 's alice is one of my fave tmnt ocs to date @mightyfoz 's tina i adore her @tamachan221 's kimiko is pure nostalgic fun for me!! literal vintage oc (shes like 20 years old atm) that i'm very found of @suetonicart 's valli , altho a demigirl, is very cool that i really miss seeing around and those at the top of my head eheh AND some non turtle ocs because i am so happy with their existence you have no idea:

@cheesy-che 's mizuiro my beloved my somehow adopted child my little star i adore her @redstringraven 's nyxram IS SO COOL you should totally check her out too!! oath-of-oaks's gia is another one that i miss whenever i think too much about tmnt ocs @artsydroopybun 's stella is so fun and i adore her design! @justanotherfangirlst 's loralie is super lovely <:] and so many more that i couldn't find online!!

theres some pretty cool gals on my toyhouse favorites if you're interested! and i have some of my own if you're curious, but im not going to say they're super well written AHAH

[hellapeachyart]

Cousin piggyback time!! I could not get this idea out of my head and had to draw it haha

Kevin belongs to @shellsweet!!

6.) Do you own any TMNT merchandise?

11.) Which version of Raphael is your favorite?

20.) Which theme song is your favorite?

26.) What is one of your favorite pieces of TMNT fan art?

31.) What is one piece of TMNT canon that you dislike/ignore?

Hello Gornack! (*^▽^)/★*☆♪

6. I've got a few items but not much. I live somewhere where merchandise is rather.....sparse. Either you have to order and pay (mostly) a lot of export fee or you need to search at conventions for some.

I had a few shirts as a child from TMNT, now I have one and (my most priced possession so far) a metal poster with the IDW cover "City at war". If it's count, I got almost every issue of the IDW comics, the TLR2:Re-Evolution comics plus the TMNT Ghostbuster crossover comic and all seasons of TMNT '12 as DVDs. Got also some self made pins and four Kandi bracelets that are color coded to the turtles.

11. Uh, tough question because I'm a total Raph fan, no matter which iteration. (Maybe because I see myself in them...) I would say '03 Raph would be my top fav, because I just adore his kind side when he helps others in need and his sassy comments. And yes, most don't like his accent, but in my defense, I heard the english version years later for the first time. I heard him mostly in my native language as kid.

'12 Raph is close behind. He redeems himself and grows over the seasons without losing his character. Also communicating with pigeons and training them commands. Nice! Addition: I just love Raphs german voice and everytime his voice actor is in other movies or series I always see Raph. :>

I like IDW Raph because of his story arc. Especially in the beginning with finding his way into his family. He cares for them, but it's hard to fit in for him in the beginning after being on his own for quite a while.

I will hear people scream now, but I also like TLR Raph even though we only see him really short. Yes, he acts reckless and yes his plan was stupid but he cares! The fear that someone else gets severely hurt of his family blinded him so much that he takes measurements in his own hands. He gave everything he had left to protect. Hothead through and through.

20. A close fight between the '87 and '12 version. I would go with the '12 opening because this was my teenager era, this song was on my mp3 player.

26. Another hard one to choose ah-

In the moment it's the TLR2:Re-Evolution fanarts from redkehlchen and shellsweet. I love the four so much! (especially Yi hehehe)

31. The ending of Splinter in TMNT '12. DAMN. That ripped out my soul. I don't dislike it, but it's really hard to accept it...

And everytime I see this damn scene I'm like "Okay get it together... don't cry..." and then Mikey says this one word, THIS. ONE. WORD. And it's over....
