Day 20: Team Awesome for the 12 years of TMNT 2012, held by @12yearsoftmnt2012

My Onryo Au boys, back before everything went wrong, having a snooze after a rough fight.

Have been working on and off on this and finally finished. Tried a new color method and shading, and tried more of a cell shaded look.

Also, don't worry, I'm still working on answering the @tmntaucompetition asks. Either through pictures or text, they will be answered. Also thanks for the interactions I got through my back halls post. Looking forward to any more!

TMNTember DAY 23: MONSTER

So… the funniest thing happened.

I was looking through my TMNTember sketches to find ones to put on RedBubble. And I realized there were like. Three forgotten prompts.

And that just wouldn’t do.

So here’s my favorite monster, turned into a film poster!

Also… NOW AVAILABLE ON MY REDBUBBLE!

TMNTember DAY 28:

“Karai and her Turtle Brothers”

OKAY, this is the last one, I swear.

This is sort of in combination with Day 30 as far as the future element? IDK, at the very least it’s set in Season 5, or at least post-finale Season 4.

I wanted to illustrate something a little nicer in honor of the 2012 anniversary, so… voila, a fully-colored entry!!

Here’s what I can perfectly hear them all saying in my head:

Casey’s staying quiet for the sake of the pizza thievery, and Karai’s snake-y sense is tingling about whatever’s goin’ on between Don and April over there…

My favorite things about this drawing:

- Raph and Leo’s banter

- Casey and Mikey’s pizza bromance

- Karai with folded pizza and wearing her father’s color

- How April’s looking at Donnie (oh god Ned’s gonna include this in Fixing Apriltello isn’t she YES OF COURSE I AM—)

This was so much fun you guys. Thanks for sticking through it all with me, and for all the love and support of my work this past month. I appreciate every single one of you!!

Big thank you to @12yearsoftmnt2012 for running this whole shindig:)

And big bonus points if you listen to this song, for your viewing pleasure:

DAY 13: SCARS, PART 2

Ah yes. Mikey. So here we go:

I headcanon that Mikey's electric powers still reside deep inside. But Mikey can't control them at all, and they're dormant. He occasionally gets slightly electrocuted, but as time goes on it weakens and happens less and less.

Of course he has lightning scars!! I mean. He did get electrocuted quite a lot in the episode. Mikey got used to being shocked but his brothers, well.. they had a hard time getting used to it, cuz it was out of nowhere. Mikey learns to feel the shock charging as time goes on.

I didn't say as much as I said about Donnie but oh well..

Day 30: Future AU / Next Generation

Don't take this too seriously, it was the last day and I didn't know what to do.

Complete information under cut ⬇️

~ 12 years later since the last episode of season 4:

Leonardo follows his father's steps and becomes the sensei of the Hamato Clan. The dojo is now open for anyone, mutant or not, who want to become a ninja and is willing to protect the inocent and use what they've learned for good. He also still teaching April when she has time after college so she can become a more experienced kunoichi.

Sometimes he likes to meditate in the forest and comunicate with Splinter spiritually.

Raphael becomes a night vigilante to stop the regular criminals that are always running the streets but nobody notices. It's what he always wanted to do. He says he likes to work alone but sometimes he miss when him and his brothers stopped the bad guys together, now they still do but not as often, so he spends most of the time training or hanging out with Mona Lisa when she's on earth, and sometimes joins the Mutanimals to patrol the city. He's also training Chompy so now that he's bigger he knows how to defend himself and others if they run into trouble.

He's trying yo find new hobbies, he discovered that he likes to draw pigeons and helps him calm down.

Donatello works part time as a scientist for the Utrom Council, but he also has his own proyects like rebuilding Metalhead's body and try to perfection the retromutagen so he can bring Timothy back to his human form. That aside from the many gadgets he plans to build.

He barely has any free time now but he does what he can to spend more time with his brothers and friends.

Michelangelo was a bit lost for a couple of years, he didn't know what to do since they defeated Shredder so he would just hang around with Mondo and the Mutanimals or go skateboard.

But when he remembered how much he liked cooking he decided to become a real chef, after being rejected for every other restaurant in New York he asked Murakami San to let him work at his restaurant, Murakami happily accepted and teached him all that he knew about cooking. Later Mikey decided to make his own cooking program with Icecream Kitty and it got very popular, especially between mutants. Because of this, Murakami's restaurant ended up getting so many new clients but it was pretty clear that Icecream Kitty was the star of the show.

TMNTtember2024 DAY 19: Favorite friendship/favorite human

Why ppl so rarely talk about their friendship being the only one I love? Although I don't ship them like some people do, I admit that April's relationship with Leo is the closest. (KRAANG EYES, KRAANG EYES 4EVER!!!)💛💙

TMNTember DAY 27: OCs - PART TWO

From what I’m seeing in reblogs, Casey having a little sister named Angelica is not a new concept. Oh well! That just means we’ve got a lot of headcanons we can sift through for this OC. Here’s the link to my post detailing some of my headcanons for Angel’s broader arc. The fic is below the cut you guys! Headcanons, criticism, etc. always appreciated! @12yearsoftmnt2012

“THE ONE, THE ONLY, ANGELICA JONES”

In the buzzing, faint glow of the lights lining the hallway, Donnie doesn’t quite know what he’s looking at.

Or, that’s not true, he does, at least partially, he corrects himself in his head. He knows several things about this situation.

One: He’d popped by at Leo’s request to alert Casey about patrol tonight. Which was… unusual. In fact, it was Don’s first time standing in their human friend’s complex. Picking up Casey was usually left up to Raph or Mikey, but with one’s shoulder still on the mend, and the other already out gaining the intel Leatherhead had promised for the mission, Donnie had been the only choice left.

And Two: He’d picked the right apartment. He’d checked the address Raph had sent him twice, and he knew from tidbits of pieced-together conversations that Casey’s dad worked graveyard, so no one else should be home.

Which was why, Three: he’d been so confused when the door had swung open before Donnie could even get through the third knock, to reveal a young girl. Streaks of magenta drugstore dye peaking through black sleep-tousled hair. Coke bottle glasses, perched on a nose that looked familiar (albeit straighter), and a cockeyed grin so identical to Casey’s, it was uncanny.

Donatello blinks. He’s caught off guard, of course, but he’s not about to run — not only has she not completely freaked out about the six foot turtle currently standing in front of her, but her eyes are wide, awestruck almost behind the thick black frames. She’s… intrigued, at the very least. A good sign? He’s not quite sure yet.

”Oh my god,” she breathes out, ”You’re Donatello.”

…Alright. Donnie blue screens, gawking right back, and for some stupid reason, can’t think of any better response than a squeaked-out, “Uh…”

And before he can even pull himself out of his stupor, she starts in with a relentless babble, jumbled sentences that sound oddly like praise, peppered in amongst information she definitely shouldn’t be privy to.

”You’re the one that synthesized the retro mutagen!” She beams, swinging the door open wider. “You turned a multidimensional transmat device into a mass displacement teleporter!”

She’s smart, Donnie observes lamely, as she turns those words over to him like they’re nothing, like she’s comprehending their meaning, and knows he will too. But she’s also brimming with the same ecstatic naïveté he recognizes all too often in fans of his and his brothers’ work. Donatello bristles, eyes narrowing.

Naïveté like that gets people hurt. Or turns them into hideous brainless ooze monsters, that force him to freeze them solid to prevent them from maiming his friends and family.

…That’s neither nor there.

The girl’s still talking, hands gesticulating around wildly. “I can’t believe it, after all this time! I mean I knew when Casey told me about you that you’d be my favorite, but to meet you in person is just—“

Like the mention of his name summoned him, Casey finally appears behind her, scratching at his chest through his old Rangers jersey, sunken sleep-deprived eyes staring at Donnie under a furrowed brow. Damn, April hadn’t been kidding, the SATs had been putting him through hell.

Donnie waves his hands out in front of him, and the girl finally falls quiet enough for him to mutter, “Casey, what… who—?”

But he’s cut off again, by a small hand gripping his and shaking it firmly. “Oh, my bad. I’m Angelica.”

Donnie glances up at Case with a quirked brow, and the human just rolls his eyes. “My little sister,” he grumbles, reaching out to tug at Angelica’s shoulder. “Who’s supposed to be in bed right now—“

”God, you’re such a buzzkill,” Angelica grouses at him, wrenching her shoulder out of his grasp.

Casey’s back to scowling at Donnie, as he tries to corral her back inside the apartment. “Dude, why’d you use the front door? I told you to come to the window—“

”The window was frozen shut, dude,” Donnie fires back caustically, teeth still chattering while he tries to huddle into the big trenchcoat he donned as his only defense against the cold. “And I could see your dumb ass conked out, drooling all over your textbook. We’re late, and you’re the one explaining all this to Leo.”

”Oh, Leo! The oldest, right?” Angelica pipes up, to Casey’s chagrin. “He’s the one who battled Shred-head, right? Badass.”

Donnie deadpans a look at her brother. “What did you, give her a play-by-play?”

”He talks about you guys all the time.” She grins smugly, while Casey’s face screws up in anguish. “Well, mostly about his goof-offs with Raph or Mikey, but I managed to glean some information on the rest of you guys, too. Ooh! Like how you built an entire Turtle Mech?! How do you even go about rendering schematics for a build like that, with such limited resources—“

Don smothers his incredulous chuckle behind a fist, while Casey claps a hand over his sister’s mouth.

“Shut up, Angel—“ He’s in the middle of hissing, when Angel grabs his thumb and twists it back at an awkward angle, making Casey yelp and twist to one side.

”Butt out, Casey,” she mutters back, and yeah, Donnie can see the family resemblance.
