AHHH AHHH HAIIII
Here again with some BMC AU fanart!!
Big Mama's Child AU was made by one of my mooties @hitokshellart go check out their stuff if you haven't already!!
I was doing warm-up sketches and ur boys popped up outta nowhere. Was also re-reading ur tangled au this morning and its just so good, makes me wanna draw more fr!! (everyone needs to go have a look at it, its super interesting :D )
[I.D. First page of a three page comic, using Big Mama from ROTTMNT and a fan design for her assistant. In this comic, Venus is a small child. She is based on a yellow-bellied slider and has stripes around her eyes, going up her forehead, down her chin and neck, and around her arms and legs. She also has a mixed bilateral cleft lip, with a complete cleft on the right side of her mouth and a much smaller incomplete cleft on the left. She's missing a tooth under her complete cleft.
In the first panel, Big Mama holds her hands out towards Venus, and says "Turtleboo!" Her speech bubbles are cloudlike, with small dots and hearts hovering around them. Venus reaches out too, an excited grin on her face, and yells "Mama!!" In contrast, her speech bubbles are much smoother. In the second panel, Big Mama holds Venus and kisses her cheek. She says "How is my darling girl?" Venus smiles happily and says "Happy to shee you!" Big Mama responds, "Oh, good. I've come for a little chizzy-chat." End I.D. 1 of 2.]
Rest of comic under the cut, mind the content warnings above.
[I.D. The second page has three panels. The first is a closeup of the bottom half Big Mama's face, Venus leaning her head contently against Big Mama's cheek. Big Mama frowns very slightly. In the next panel, she smiles, and says "I've decided you need a new name, my poppet." Venus looks up at her with a questioning expression. In the third panel, Big Mama is shown from farther away, her eyes cut off by the panel's borders, with Venus in her arms and looking at her. Venus asks. "But why? I like Venush, Mama."
The final page has two panels. In the first, Big Mama bends down and sets Venus on the floor. Venus holds onto her hand and looks confused as Big Mama says "Oh, dearest, it just doesn't fit you." The next panel shows a close up of Venus' face, a look of shock and betrayal as tears gather in her eyes. Big Mama's hand rests on her head as she says "Venus was beautiful." The words are written in cursive, and lay over Venus, partially see through. Behind her is a pattern that looks like a heart beat monitor line, then transforms into a cluster of jagged, squiggly lines. End I.D. 2 of 2.]
A little backstory for why my version of Big Mama's assistant is referred to as both Venus and Frida: she originally was Venus, but was forced to pick a new name.
Big Mama does have her reasons for doing this (given that she basically kidnapped Venus from Draxum, the name change helps to hide her identity so Draxum won't try to get her back), but at the end of the day she knows it's cruel. She doesn't say things like this much, but when she does it's very intentional.
A coloured redraw of the end of this update from @hitokshellart (I hope you don’t mind). Their ROTTMNT AU is fantastic, and I love their Big Mama!! Definitely recommend reading it :3
Some toddler au drawings because I couldn't stop myself
Featuring :
Kyle "the outside world is scary don't you dare put me down or worse, give me to the weird moustache man" Garrick,
Nik- "ahah I'm now both our children's favourite dad" -olai (do we even know his last name?)
Jonathan "😭😭😭" Price
Simon "side foot walking autism representation instead of toe-walking bc I very very rarely see it and it's what I do, also he's just a baby and he breaks my heart and I want to hug him really badly" Riley
John "nice frog, anyway, I think I'm about to jump into this puddle, and I'm not gonna do anything to stop it, even while knowing perfectly well that I am gonna cry about my socks being wet right after" MacTavish
and finally, Gary "do I show the weird moustache man my frog or do I put it in my mouth?" Sanderson.
And none of them have shoes because they all hate them and get rid of them as soon as the adults try to put them on. (Simon didn't, but he started crying silently as soon as they were on so they took them off immediately)
Regardless of what age he is, flying bird will always be his favorite game. During his childhood, they played the game during free time and during the future, he does it for nostalgia purposes and to feel better. Good thing gems don’t lose strength overtime! :D
