I've been pretty bad at drawing my AU blorbos in historical outfits for the @tmntaucompetition But!! I'm doing it now!!! Yay me!!!!
I'm pretty sure the current round's theme is the 70s, so I drew April and Donnie in 70s fashion. If it's actually another decade then.... well whatever, you're getting this now.
I’m not the anon that was asking to make fanart but I was looking at @tizeline ‘s separated AU and an idea popped up and I couldn’t not draw it so..
Fanart! Also first time drawing April, I hope she looks nice!
In case you can’t read my sloppy (pun intended) handwriting:
April: Hey,made something I want you to see!
Donnie: Me too! Let’s show them at the same time.
3.. 2.. 1!
Donnie/April: I made extra robotic fingers/ three-fingered gloves for my/your hands!
Donnie/April: …
(I tried drawing Donnie’s Plastron the way Tiz does and it was hard dude I think imma stick with how I draw it lolol)((which explains why he looks weird here, I swear I can draw Donnie better than this TwT))
When I saw Donnie drawn in megamind’s suit I immediately looked for a clip to animate to. I thought the panels where Leo and Donnie were trying to take off the armor was hilarious! I felt like it really fit to this audio. Good luck in the competition!
I'm working on part two of the Crownardo finale. in the meantime I wanted to put my little guy sneaking into the @tmntaucompetition looking for swannie.
Long, long post. Mostly me rambling. Have a lovely day :)
I watched 2012 tmnt when I was little so I got used to the vibe that one has, like the darker colors and stuff. So the first time I saw Rottmnt I was like
woah
It’s super colorful, there’s a lot of hyper activity, a lot more jokes, and it’s pretty obvious that it was made for the attention of little kids
so I didn’t watch it. It just didn’t really grab my attention, and I didn’t watch it until I saw a clip of the opening scene in the movie. And then I was like
woah
major character death
so I went ahead and watched the show. And it was amazing, and I loved it, and I’m a huge fan of Rottmnt. Not to mention the fandom (at least here on tumblr) is actually awesome to interact with, everyone is really excited to talk about the show and share headcanons and art and it’s amazing.
I’ve gotten into other fandoms and content through the Rottmnt original content creators too. I’m sure that a lot of people know the Cass apocalyptic series, which was incredibly written and drawn and had me coming back to read it over numerous times. And the comic also led me to read Casserole’s original content, Marble Sky, which is amazing as well by the way.
And the au comics are amazing, too. I read the Mutation Situation, I read Jacob’s Ladder, Two Arms Left, TizSepAu, Villan Leo, Kid Leo, Redline, Swanatello, Gemini Twins, Bloodbath au and a lot more I’m not mentioning.
Rottmnt is a kids show. Same as the Powerpuff Girls, or Paw Patrol, or any other kids show out there. It’s not for everyone. It’s catered to a target audience, which happens to be little kids who’s attention is caught by the bright colors, and hyper activity, and the 2D artstyle. It’s not for everyone, same as every other tmnt iteration, same as all content everywhere. I don’t expect anyone to go out of their way to watch Rottmnt, especially if it doesn’t interest them, and you don’t have to watch the show to interact with the community either. You can enjoy the community without enjoying the show.
You do you. Do whatever makes you feel good. I just hope that everyone’s experience with tmnt, and the tmnt community is as positive as mine is. I saw a post talking about all the reasons the blogger did not enjoy Rottmnt. I read the whole thing. It made sense, I understand why they didn’t like it, and I just disagree. I didn’t pick a fight. I just liked the post and moved on.
Recently I’ve seen a lot of people picking fights over disagreements a tv show made for kids. Not a lot are actually engaged in, which is good, but we really shouldn’t be picking fights at all. Basically, all this to say, you do you. Do what makes you happy. And if you disagree with people, just do that. Disagree. You don’t have to fight, or be rude, or anything. I’m all for debating, as long as it remains respectful.
I’m very aware that I can’t control other people and dictate how they interact with others, but I can suggest that we’re just nice to each other. Please.
Anyways if you read this far, thanks, and I hope you have a wonderful day.
- Are there any AUs you weren't familiar with that have recently caught your attention, or that you would like to learn more about?
- What are some AUs/fanworks that you enjoy, and would encourage more people to go check out? (Doesn't have to be in the comp!)
I discovered @v-albion's True Colors AU, and @tizeline's Tiz Sep AU through the comp very recently, and I love them!
Other AUs in the comp I've read are Ghost in the Shell, Little Scraps of Wisdom, and The Last Ronin Becomes a Discord Admin, which are all EXCELLENT, I highly recommend giving them a read. I've also read Two Souls, which didn't make it last round, but it's so good guys, please check them out too if you like iteration crossovers.
I've also seen @kathaynesart's Replica, @star-sparkler's August AU, @pezhead's Age Gap, @butterfilledpockets's Bad End Ninja Turtles, and @tangledinink's Gemini Twins around tumblr before, and they're all lovely aus, it makes me happy to see them on my dash.
I'd also recommend The Eldest Brother, which is a crossover AND an au, and Elemental Brothers, which is an excellent human/ATLA au. I am also a fan of @shardkn1ght's Hueso Raised Leo AU.
And what kind of writer would I be if I didn't plug my own AU, Lost and Found... and also the Bakery AU, it's small, but it deserves love too.
