yeaah Karai is just cool. I don't have much to say about her character right now cause I haven't watched that ep in ages and it's late.
Also the rendering is different because I usually draw directly on my tablet screen but I felt like using my little tiny wacom tablet (like the smallest size I bought for using in blender) and my desktop. I actually like that it forces me to be messy. When I get into lineart I get all zoomed in, detail focussed, trying to get perfect lines but I like the messy sketch style.
Pretend I don't always draw characters facing the same way in a similar pose. I guess I really like the looking-over-your-shoulder-cooly pose.
Mhmm I sure love thinking of the reality where we did get more time to really know Karai and her dynamics with the bros. Losing her hit hard in the finale, but it would’ve hit much, much harder had we known Karai longer and really saw her relationships develop with everyone.
I especially would have been interested in her dynamic with Leo, as past iterations often have the two of them clash in ideals and the like while still sharing many characteristics. Two sides of the same coin, and all that. Her specifically being the bros’ Gram-Gram also adds a whole new dynamic as well.
Imagine how interesting it would be, to have Karai start off on Leo’s side for once, showing wholly just how alike the two are at their cores and bonding as family without the worry of betrayal or animosity that other iterations suffer through, only to have Karai die anyway. Their parting hug and the desperate look of horror Leo wears later on would have hit that much harder, I feel.
Thank you @sariphantom for making the challenge and for all your efforts to save Rise of the TMNT.
Don’t give up y’all. Change takes time, and more people. The more people you can tell about this show, the more exposure the gets, the more support it gets, the better. Young Justice was cancelled twice and the fans are still fighting for it. Don’t let good art go ignored. Don’t let the haters win. Let’s prove them all wrong.
