Look what I got! It’s a model of Donatello from the 1984 comics- when they all wore red masks!
I showed it to my mom- and she goes “Honey, that’s Raphael.” So I explained to her the history of all the turtles. (She looked at me like I was the world’s biggest nerd, which is fair enough.)
It was $30 but totally worth it.
It also includes a comic with Donatello’s best moments EVER in the comics :]
Ok i still don't have a set timeline or sense of what I want to do with this comic but after drawing out some more comics I might make a master post of all of the comics in canon order.. still figuring it out but for now- TD's TMNT!
uhhh yeah another tmnt oc.. HOWEVER!! he's got his own iteration!
Nobody / Poppy Draxum / T-01 / Red
somewhere in his early 30's. who knows. not him!
unlabelled gender and aroace - he/him or any/all
7'8"
he's a combination of a few different turtle types due to a few separate mutations he was given past the initial one:
spiny softshell (original)
alligator snapping turtle
yellow bellied slider
four-eyed turtle
anyways yeah! he's got his own iteration which is. A lot. erm and by "a lot" i mean it's a lot of heavy themes. like one of the biggest warnings i can give is that there are multiple different instances of cannibalism in it! yay!
if you wanna know more abt him here's his Art Fight Page which has his lore that im slowly adding to overtime when i feel like remembering it's there (and also when i figure out more of it)
it goes pretty in depth so far and tbh i'll probably end up moving it to a post here when its done ^^;
Quick rundown though:
he was raised for a few years by Yoshi Hamato (who did not name him) before being given to Baxter Stockman (who called him T-01)
(much) later on was found by, and raised, by Baron Draxum (who later helped him name himself Poppy)
all 3 of her siblings are dead (order of death? sure! Violet, then Orange, then Blue)
he was the youngest of his siblings
Alopex and Usagi exist, but no Karai (..unless i decide to add her later!)
by the current point in time Stockman, Yoshi, Shredder, Usagi, and Draxum are all dead
there is currently no Casey Jones or April for his iteration, but I do have plans to figure out how to add them in!
he mostly goes by Nobody now
he's got weird interdimensional powers! why? uhm because i super fucked him up okay? his trauma is so bad that he did some science and it Ruined him haha :)
for real though he's got time and space powers due to science project gone right in the wrong way
and while im here, him and his siblings when they were younger
So I love my AU, but honestly the most art you might see for it will be for my version of Jennika. Who is the one I have the most writing for too, other than Venus.
Yeah. I have no clue how I've developed two of the turtles who aren't the main 4, but thats how it happened.
So maybe I'll start sharing some art soon! Also please feel free to ask me questions. I'll try and answer them and hey, maybe I'll figure out something for a character that way.
I still have posts up with their old designs, feel free to ignore those :3 more info on them will be on their individual posts, whenever i finish them lol
And I still don't have the right look
And I still have the same three friends
And I'm pretty much the same as I was back then
High school never ends...
(Writeup under the cut)
As promised (and LONG overdue), Sewer Punks: 10 years later! In their happiest possible future, their acts of heroism in taking down the Foot Clan pay off, and they find themselves finally accepted into society at large.
Following in the footsteps of his grandparents, Leonardo opens a dojo, teaching martial arts by day and fighting crime at night. He still has lasting issues from his childhood, but he finally gets therapy (as all Leos desperately need).
Donnie graduates early and with honors from Cornell, soon after landing a job as a professor at the same. His rate-my-professor page is highly divided on whether his teaching style is "refreshingly unconventional" or "frustrating and nonsensical".
Mikey settles into a comfortably hedonistic life of good food and good party scenes, but he does calm down from his teen years- enough to write a bestselling biography and start doing youth outreach in his free time.
Raph gets married, has an adorable daughter (Jett, after the famous Joan Jett of course), and lives out his punk dreams of selling patchwork vests and handmade spiked bracers at flea markets. Rock on!
... Of course, this is only one way the future may unfold- who knows where destiny will really lead...
Introducinggggg TMNT: Broken Bonds!! here’s the turtles refs:
there’s already some lore for this, so feel free to send me asks!!
more info under the cut :)
species! leo is a diamondback terrapin, raph is an eastern box turtle, donnie is a leucistic sea turtle, and mikey is a radiated tortoise
april is their childhood friend! i’ll post a ref for her and splinter soon :) oh and splinter is a raccoon
donnie doesn’t have a techbo, but he uses tech and chem in other ways while fighting! especially because being a sea turtle makes him the weakest fighter of the four
raph makes a lot of their clothes
they eventually all unlock magic
the hidden city is a thing! although i still don’t have a name for this version-
splinter and his past friends already have lore, but that would be spoilers :)
