If it molds itself based on the user… wonder what 2012 shredder would look like.

The turtles aren’t the only ones with mystics on their side. The Shredder wouldn’t allow his archnemesis, let alone the hamato clan, get an upper hand on him. Even if he ends up losing himself in the process.

Finally made ref sheets for this au so I figure now is as good a time as any to make an official introduction post for it.

Keep in mind that I'm still working on ironing out all the details so some things may be subject to change. However, I do have the major story beats decided so it's all the stuff in between that I'm not certain of. (Also PV'S designs are subject to change I'm not certain I'll be sticking with these)

Au overview and some more art below the cut because I ended up yapping for so long

With that out of the way, here's the gist of this au:

When Truthless recluse shatters his soul jam in the spire of deceit, he gets sent back in time (as like a fluke side effect of awakening ig) where he is found by the Fount of knowledge. Pure Vanilla is weary of Fount at first because he's not entirely convinced that this isn't just Shadow Milk trying to fuck with him again but he does genuinely want to be friends with shadow milk so he decides to just go along with this. He does realize fairly quickly that this isn't a trick, he's actually stuck in the past.

Fount is absolutely fascinated by PV, he's never had any genuine connections with anybody before and PV is pretty much the first person ever to see him as an actual person and not just something to be used and then discarded. He is also extremely curious about why PV has a second copy of his soul jam (PV quickly after realizing he's not in his time starts hiding his soul jam but he couldn't exactly hide it from Fount, at this point in time it isn't visibility cracked yet, that happens later on.)

Long story short they become besties (could be read as romantic or platonic), horribly codependent relationship on both ends. they don't have anyone but each other and they are each other's whole world.

It would absolutely tear PV apart if Fount was to, for example, start to corrupt and for there to be absolutely nothing he could do about it. Or if, and I'm just throwing this out there, he was to be locked up in, oh I don't know, a tree for thousands of years. And expanding on that, let's just say, hypothetically, that Fount assumes PV is mortal (technically correct) and that Its been thousands of years, he's probably died of old age by now (not correct). That would probably fuck him up soooo bad. Especially since he's locked in this hypothetical tree and literally all he can do is sit with his own thoughts.

Hahaha, good thing that's purely hypothetical. Because if that wasn't hypothetical then PV might, in an attempt to spare himself from his suffering, shatter his soul jam (again) and completely lose all of his memories (again). But that'll never happen because that was all purely hypothetical and actually this au is all sunshine and rainbows with absolutely no angst.

I've got sosososososo many ideas about this au that I haven't even touched on in this brief overview and am genuinely considering turning this into a fic. However I've literally never written anything before and this concept I think would be incredibly difficult to pull off convincingly. Also, shadow milk/fount of knowledge is physically disabled here. You can pretty much assume that that's the case with any of my depictions of him even if it's not obvious just by looking, but I figured it should still say that.

Please please please please please send me questions about this au I'm hopelessly hyperfixated on it and I have absolutely nobody to talk about it with or bounce ideas off of and that's tragic. Also I haven't figured out a name for this yet so please give me suggestions so I can tag everything accordingly and have all of it in one place.

As a treat for hearing my rambling out, here's a collection of my favorite of the art I've made for this au thus far (I would have included all of it but stupid Tumblr image limitations):

Edit: there is now a fic for this AU currently in the works!

Literally spent way too much time on this- BUT STAREATER SCAR DESIGN UPDATE yyyaayyyy

The old one is still a little useful as his Vindicator design hasn't changed, but he doesn't wear that for much of the series

Close ups and stuff ↓↓↓

insert "these boots are made for walking" joke

[ark-blocks]

The blorbos <3333 I've had some weird art block for a while now, and I started these two a while ago and was really happy with them but just ran out of motivation. So, I figured I'd let them see the light of day as WIPs so that people can still appreciate them bc I still do really love how they are turning out <3 I still very much want to finish them but I am, as many artists are, at the whim of a fickle sense of motivation </3

Fanart for @andersam5

Been following your Altonverse art and comics since you posted Nemesis Reborn pt2 last year and I just fell in love with your characters and the world you've built up with the guardians. It also got me to look up Alton Towers (incredible park, I hope I can go there someday) and renewed my interest in theme parks in general.

I haven't been this inspired to work on a major piece in years, and it was because I really wanted to draw Alton and the Secret Weapons. They're such cool characters! I hope I did your boy(s) justice!

He's living in my head rent free.

I learned how to draw weapons for this.

[aurora-starlight-silly]

Aurora's ref !

I'm glad I finally made a ref...now you can see her weapon !

I'll probally not edit this later...I hope you like it ! ^^

Without the name on it

The game: x

I think I've found an meiker you may enjoy or use @themousefromfantasyland

[sweeneydino]

Young Spirits.

Based heavily on the Mystic Warriors and Ninja Tribunal, and some interpretations

Also sky children of the light for a certain aspects…

Is this like my second au inspired from these guys?

They can change their forms while in their plane, but being bound, they can never escape outside of being a weapon for the Hamato clan. Their voices silent to everyone but their wielders.

Their multiple, multiple, wielders.

This is turning out to be more of a 2012 meets Rise/2003 crossover-

oh god i NEED to update Tarú and Skall's references oh god

[windydrawallday]

SHE GOT COLOOORSSS! And a few expression tests, mostly to see if I like the way she can emote with those head frills. I was about to stick to my rule of thumb 4 color palette, but I added one more color (the greenish brown), and I like it too much, so it stays!
