Welcome back everyone!

Splinter Appreciation Week is a fan event to celebrate ALL versions of the TMNT franchise and the most beloved rat dad, Splinter. The 2025 event will take place from June 9th to 15th, the week leading up to Father’s Day.

This year's prompts are

DAY 1 - Warmth / Wisdom DAY 2 - Companion / Loyalty DAY 3 - Legacy / Tradition DAY 4 - Break Day / Promote an existing work DAY 5 - Nourish / Poison Day 6 - Seasons / Spirit DAY 7 - Birth / Death

The "break day" is an experiment this year. The man behind the curtain of this account (@halogalopaghost) is an individual with multiple chronic illnesses that make events of endurance like these difficult to participate in. I want others to have the opportunity to take a rest, enjoy everyone else's work, and maybe breathe new life into something that was made last year, etc.

For participation guidelines, click here!

Please FOLLOW and REBLOG to spread awareness for the event. It’s no fun to celebrate alone!

hot artists don't gatekeep

I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard

Floorplanner. Design and furnish a house for you to use for having a consistent background in your comic or anything! Free, you need an account, easy to use, and you can save multiple houses.

Comparing Heights. Input the heights of characters to see what the different is between them. Great for keeping consistency. Free.

Magma. Draw online with friends in real time. Great for practice or hanging out. Free, paid plan available, account preferred.

Smithsonian Open Access. Loads of free images. Free.

SketchDaily. Lots of pose references, massive library, is set on a timer so you can practice quick figure drawing. Free.

SculptGL. A sculpting tool which I am yet to master, but you should be able to make whatever 3d object you like with it. free.

Pexels. Free stock images. And the search engine is actually pretty good at pulling up what you want.

Figurosity. Great pose references, diverse body types, lots of "how to draw" videos directly on the site, the models are 3d and you can rotate the angle, but you can't make custom poses or edit body proportions. Free, account option, paid plans available.

Line of Action. More drawing references, this one also has a focus on expressions, hands/feet, animals, landscapes. Free.

Animal Photo. You pose a 3d skull model and select an animal species, and they give you a bunch of photo references for that animal at that angle. Super handy. Free.

Height Weight Chart. You ever see an OC listed as having a certain weight but then they look Wildly different than the number suggests? Well here's a site to avoid that! It shows real people at different weights and heights to give you a better idea of what these abstract numbers all look like. Free to use.

Leo 2k3

[chanceofchaos]

I think I am overly dependent on ao3…

[chanceofchaos]

If u accept an request, may i ask for a Rise Mikey drawing? :3

It always felt like a crime that Rise Mikey never got a Klunk or an Ice Cream Kitty... give the boy a cat! Or 3 ;)

[chanceofchaos]

My entry!! Dino is a little cutie and I love your Leo design so… this was fun!

I have never had success with these but!

Hosting a DTIYS challenge to celebrate 300 followers :)

Prize, rules, and refs below :)

Prize:

✨️ 1 free fully rendered bust of a character of your choosing ✨️

Rules:

-You have to be following me and reblog this post with your drawing

-Draw something :) this picture is for a template but you can substitute any turtle and do any pose you'd like, the only rule is Dino has to be there (if you can't draw kids you can make Dino older too and I'll put references at the bottom of them and the turtles)

-This post will be up on bluesky too! If you post your submission there you get 2 entries (if due to few people participating you are randomly chosen for both sites you can either have 2 busts or a full body drawing as a prize)

Wednesday May 14th will be the due date and I will be putting all participants on a wheel to see who wins, (I'll choose 1 winner from here and 1 from bluesky if possible)

Here's the image with just flats so the details are visible

Link to all turtle references (please note I am stupid and forgot Donnie's left arm is a prosthetic but besides that these are accurate)

The closest I have to Dino references

And the most accurate to their designs group photo I have

Have fun and thank you for playing! If I get no submissions I'm going to pretend I didn't post this lol

Stars - RatSaki AU

HEY! I'm super pumped to release my first ever fanfiction (that has made it to public eyes 👀) here! -> https://archiveofourown.org/works/64260646

As you might be able to guess from the AU name, this is a fic where Saki was mutated into a rat man, and trains the turtles in the sewers. This fic focuses on Leo and his relationship with his brothers before anything major happens.

🙏🙏🙏 PLS READ + COMMENT + ASK ME QUESTIONS ABOUT THE AU ON THIS BLOG IT WOULD MAKE MY DAY 🙏🙏🙏

Happy Mermay

Part one >:)

These are quicker drawings don't expect perfection

[chanceofchaos]

Once I create official designs for my various TMNT aus I’m going to commission so many people on god.

Finals are draining the life force from my body but here’s a little sketch of Venus

Also I just realized that her arms are the reverse of the actual Venus de Milo statue. Pretend that was on purpose.

[chanceofchaos]

I couldn’t take it anymore you guys, so I colored em rq

Original sketch here

(Open for higher quality)

[chanceofchaos]

It's fine you guys, they made amends🥹🥹

Just a little comic set in the future timeline about Usagi becoming a Hamato :3

Leosagi propaganda? Always.

I like to think he just wakes up one day and boom! Sometime in the night he just inched across that invisible line.

Also idk why Usagi is wearing a MCR shirt, it just happened.

I've been so happy with the response to my first ever fanfic: Stars! I appreciate every one of you who left kudos, and especially those who left comments. I am happy to say I am working on both character sheets and a part 2 to my RatSaki AU!

This is a sneak peak into Leo's design! He's so brown and turtley I love him.

If you like fun TMNT AU's, angst, and brotherly love... Please give my fic a shot!

Also if any of you have questions about this AU I would be unbelievably happy to answer them. :)
