#Zanramon

[redstringraven]

i won't apologize for art.

[ID: a digital drawing of traximus looking down at the viewer in his gladiator armor. above him is a comment made by zanramon that reads "cover them up, slut". traximus looks unimpressed. /END ID]

(I don't think Gruell, the other All Stars, and that one mailman Triceraton will get any votes, but it would be a surprise if they do. I will question why anyone would like Gruell since he's a a**hole, though)

TMayNT Day 24: Favorite Turtle-Adversary Dynamic

I kinda like how the Turtles refuse to take the Triceratons seriously. While them mocking their enemies isn't really new to the franchise, the fact that even in more serious mediums like the Mirage comics and the 2k3 show, the Turtles decide that the best way to deal with these giant, dino-men from outerspace is to verbally lay into them.

@tmaynt Day 27 - Favourite Mutant/ Alien Villain

Huge shout out to Krang, Bebop and Rocksteady, but the first alien villain to pop into my head was this guy:

(Image ID: a screenshot redraw of Prime Leader Zanramon from TMNT 2003. He has one hand raised with a finger pointing upwards in front of him. The screenshot it is based on its next to it)

I love the arc in 2003 with the Triceratons! Prime Leader Zanramon was just so fun to watch - he's an absolute loser and I loved watching him fail miserably over and over again. It's what he deserved!

[ninjagecko72]

Me: *drawing Zephaniah, my Triceraton hybrid OC, so he can have a mega art post like Isa did while listening to his playlist*

Mama’s Boy by Dominic Fike: *plays the most iconic part*

Me: *suddenly sees a whole animatic where Zeph slams on a memory scanner and broadcasts his memories, showing the entire Triceraton Race and the Federation how much of a narcissistic, controlling father Zanramon was*

Man, I love angst so much

Iseult's obvious berserk button(tm): People not taking care of her plants correctly and/or damaging or destroying them

Iseult's hidden berserk button: Having her trust taken advantage of and/or being used or manipulated so that people can hurt those most dear to her.

List of things the 03 turtles have stolen:

Their first car — stolen from the purple dragons

That piece of heart underwear Mikey slammed into — stolen from a clothesline and thrown off the roof

The helicopter — stolen from the shredder

A tank — stolen from some soldiers

Those cloaks that are used when making a Mikey edit — stolen from a clothesline(?)

That convertible space car — stolen from an alley

Multiple pieces of cleaning equipment — stolen from the janitors closet of a prison

Several guns — stolen from some soldiers

Prime Leader Zanramon’s personal space cruiser — stolen from the hangar to escape

Prime Leader Zanramon’s personal space cruiser 2.0 — stolen from the hangar for shits and giggles

A doom buggy — stolen from conspiracy theorists/terrorists/H.A.T.E. survivalists

Two Junklantist guard suits — stolen from two unconscious guards

A train minus the conductor’s carriage — stolen from the EDF

The Heart of Tengu — stolen from The Foot

A briefcase full of money — stolen from Hun, Touch and Go

An old brown van — stolen from a group of robbers dressed as cowboys

The Sword of Tengu — stolen from The Shredder

That truck filled with children’s toys for orphans — stolen by Mikey from three guys who stole it from some other guy

A child sized outfit big enough to fit a mutant turtle — stolen from clotheslines(?)

From this we can deduce that the turtles really like forms of grand theft auto, of this list 10 of said stolen items being vehicles

And of course an honorary mention:

That time they got accused of kidnapping the president of the United States of America

I was thinking when the guys were captured and they were brought in just as Donny was being mind probed oh man the cussing and the raging zameron or however you spell that jackasses name would be bludgeon to death by nunchucks and stabbed with a sword and a sai going through his eye.

ohhh yeah if they had caught that... I mean think about the good genes arc. They didn't have the option then to take it out on someone, but we see how they are. Heaven help whatever creature is foolish enough to hurt Donny in front of Raph and Leo. Mikey, I actually could see him being the one holding back in that situation--not because he doesn't want to or couldn't rip Zanramon apart but because he knows Leo and Raph got that covered and he'd be checking over Don's injuries.

I always enjoy fics about them finding out later about what happened. love protective siblings and hurt/comfort

[redstringraven]

i'd mentioned wanting to remove the whole "whited out eye" aspect on the turtles when their masks are on AND with the triceratons in general, so here's some experimenting with the latter!

i did a bit of poking around and found the designers for the OG jurassic park movie modeled rexie's eyes off eagle eyes (same for the sick triceratops). funnily enough: eagle and owl eyes have a very similar color range to triceraton skin (pale yellows, rich oranges and browns, and sharp reds).

for traximus and zanramon i did some loose screen-shot redraws, so i was less distracted with posing and more focused on eyes/coloring. similar with nyxram, but her redraws are from the endure comic. also removed her tattoo since i haven't redesigned it just yet. might change her iris color a smidge, too, but we'll see.

i'm quite happy with this first go! there's a bit of learning to do with the iris/pupil ratio and overall eye-shape, but i'm having fun.

TMayNT Day 24: Favorite Turtle + Villain Dynamic

"Those who aim at great deeds must also suffer greatly." -Plitarch

I've said it before and I will say it again, 2003 Bishop is a great foil for the 2003 turtles. He does what he does out of fear and trauma, determined to protect the earth by any means necessary. He and the turtles have very similar goals 80% of the time, it's just that Bishop's gone a bit cracked over the centuries and dropped his morals back in the 1900s. It makes him interesting

Honorary mention of Zanramon because it's very funny to me how whiny he gets whenever the turtles screw him over.

[challenge by @tmaynt]

[turrondeluxe]

I would love to hear more of your opinions on 03 Don and all of the Horrors he experienced that are never addressed, I think about them all every day. Obviously SAINW is probably the biggest and they just don't address it at all except for the little comments he makes when he sees Mikey and Raph again, but I don't think the Triceraton Probe and everything else that happened on the Triceraton ship are mentioned enough. I mean, didn't Zanramon mention that it leaves people braindead? I know it was only about a minute, but that's pretty long for what is essentially just torture. I reallllly wish they showed more scars/trauma/actual effects left on the turtles from certain things, only Leo really got any attention with stuff like that. (Sorry for such a long ask, I could keep talking about this forever smile)

OH THAT GUY TRULY IS THE EMBODIMENT OF "im just going to put this traumatizing experience in a little box inside my mind and never open it up again :)" WHICH IS SOMETHING I ALSO WOULD HAVE LOVED TO BE EXPLORED? BECAUSE HOLY SHIT? 😭

it's real sad that only leo is the one who actually showed any type of repercussions of what they lived trough AND also the only one who is shown to get any kind of help (therapy via the ancient one lmao) because all of them experienced quite a lot :(

i actually like to think that after leo left the brothers speak more about all of what happened with each other as an attempt to help get over their traumas because i just need them to talk about stuff :[

TMNT (2003) - Zanramon (The Triceratons Prime Leader)

[ilikekidsshows]

We joke about Honeycutt a lot, but he really went to the end for what he believed in. Good thing Traximus was in the exact correct position to seize the opportunity to truly make Honeycutt’s dream of peace a reality. Which does make me think about honor/conviction as a theme in this show. It’s another topic we make fun of, because it’s fun to exaggerate on patterns you notice, but the individual characters’ honor codes, their convictions, what they’d fight or die for, are a key topic in this when it comes to character motivations.

If a character isn’t fighting for their family, they’re doing it for something they believe in. That's why characters who don't themselves fight but make others fight for them tend to have loser moral codes; the things they are willing to fight for are more limited. Blanque and Zanramon are both willing to order others to die for them, but don't do fighting themselves, so the show treats them as unworthy of respect, with their defeat being more comical than anything.

Day 20: Hate

(Small draft of one of the Triceraton chapters)

Zanramon almost felt terrified. He looked it. That wasn't anger he saw. That was pure unadulterated hate. With his son's nose horn filed down and the two epoccipitals on his frill growing out and curving apart, he looked more like his mother aside from the skin color that was shades away from his own.
