Yays, i’ve done it ! I’ve completed the fanart!! I love this scene so much idrk why I do, but when i read it i got instant motivation to make this >:)
(The scene is in one of the first 3-5 chapts i believe ,, micheal revisiting some old graffiti tags him and his brothers made , leo joining him.)
Ughggh these two are my life— all of the boys are aaeussnssfsfsf. At that point i was desperate for leo cause they all were seriously down in the dumps.
Also, i know the fic stated/implied that he was not at all transparent to both mikey and himself, but i didn’t know how to convey the fact he’s just kinda a spirit rn. So he’a just a taaaad bit transparent.
Also, theres paint splatter on the floor of when leon made a mess back when, everyone’s colors are there,, you might have to look hard to find it tho :p

@dandylovesturtles <- Ao3 author’s tumblr! Go check them out :d
I May Be Invisible, But I Still Look Good <- Fic name!! It’s on Ao3, I recommend this fic it’s just so good !!
Please ignore how awkward this looks I suck at anatomy but this is fanart for @dandylovesturtles TMNT Au: I May Be Invisible But I Still Look Good
I tried to make the background look like the prison dimension but it’s like 1 am and I don’t think I’ve succeeded on making this look decent so I’m going to go to bed and then make something better later :D
But anyways I love @dandylovesturtles IMBI (which btw you should all read if you haven't already) so I decided to draw fanart for it, I hope you like it Dandy :)
What’s your favorite Rise of TMNT fanfic, and why?
The top spot on my list belongs to I May Be Invisible, But I Still Look Good (by @dandylovesturtles), for so many reasons! I think the characterization and tone are both spot on, to a very impressive extent! It's also super easy to get emotionally invested in the story, and it all flows together so well. I don't really know how to explain it, but when reading this fic, it's clear that it has a full story with important plot points and a conclusion that it's building towards (as opposed to aimlessly drifting along until it just sort of reaches a stopping point). Every chapter has me invested from beginning to end, and it's just an overall very enjoyable reading experience! I honestly can't recommend this fic enough, because I'm convinced that any Rise fan would love it just as much as I do!
Another fic that I'm really enjoying right now is The Aftermath (by @starrcrossrose). The author does this thing where you'll read a section from one character's point of view, then the next part will rewind a bit and you'll get to read the same events from another character's perspective. Each point of view adds a new layer to what's currently going on, and I just love how the exact same event can be experienced so differently depending on whose head we're in at that particular moment. It's a really neat writing technique that I think this fic does exceptionally well!
Have you considered doing a dtiys kind of thing with a snippet from one of your fics? Like, have a bunch of people draw their interpretation of the same scene? Idk I just think that would be fun!
That sounds like it could be fun! I don't want to feel like I'm just fishing for fanart though haha
I have thought before that it might be fun to do an event where you give, like, a bit of dialogue, or a general broad scenario, and then see what people do with it (both artists and writers). Kinda like when people do fic weeks or like the risetober prompts (with a one word prompt for each day) except with a bit longer prompt.
I guess if there's interest we could do an IMBI themed one? Maybe it would just be fun to see people's interpretations of like, what if a different brother got cursed, or a different character entirely (ghost April?)
Thank you so much everyone for that 50/50!!! Oh my gosh that was incredible!!!
Anyways anon ask I dont know who you are but congrats on being funny <3
@dandylovesturtles and I agreed that as a reward for the tie, the 2AL boys can now see/hear/touch IMBI Leo :) So happy to be teamed with this amazing fic! Thank you everyone again and thank you Dandy you are amazing <3
Lil fanart for @dandylovesturtles ‘s fanfic I May Be Invisible, But I Still Look Good! Here, take it. And my soul. And my heart. Nevermind it’s in pieces, it’s been like that since I’ve read IMBI.
А если вам интересен перевод данного фика, я начала его выкладывать здесь :)
I fiddled and played with a pen settling and actually got a cool lil texture for free in ibis. though it doesn’t appear obviously in the drawing it’s there i swear xd
Anygays, heres good ol raphie. I figure i needed to do something better for my boy since it took me so long to work on him 😭😭 have at em <3
PS. i used similar, if not the same, lighting as from my IMBI fanart ,, i do not live in the sewers nor do i live in a bustling city like ny (otherwise i’d have gone rogue) ,, so i have absolutely no clue as to how the sewers look and with my deprivation of media to watch tmnt shows [:(] i must utilize my imagination.
