TMayNT Day 11: Favourite Splinter.
*It's actually Mother's day here and I had work today so I couldn't spend AS much time on it as I'd have liked.
I like to think that as Splinter grows closer with his sons, Mikey will sometimes notice he needs a cuddle and picks him up/calls his brothers like this and they'll all just come over for a hug.
So Splinter seems to be one of the most controversial changes to Rise. Even people that like the show often are a bit put off by him. I have no attachment to any other version of Splints so I really like how he's this depressed (very reasonably) guy who had fatherhood thrust on him along with a bunch of other trauma and he just tries his best out of the kindness of his heart. And he can be suddenly really badass when he needs to be. I think it's debatable whether his best was "good enough". I don't think anything is exactly confirmed in the show and I don't remember exactly how much of his neglect is canon vs fanon so I won't comment on that. I do remember how he seems to start healing from his trauma and become closer with his sons which I think is sweet.

Day 11 of TMayNT: fav Splinter
@tmaynt
I think of 2012 Splinter and immediately get so emotional, god. I’ll probably come back to this piece and color it bc I really like how it turned out. I was just having some wrist issues, so I had to call it here.

T-May-NT Day 11: Favorite Splinter
This one was such a tough choice, mostly because I just rewatched through 03 and that absolutely solidified 03’s Splinter as my favorite because I LOVE him. Especially his arc in season five and his dynamic with Hamato Yoshi… I LOVE this Splinter!!
But also I’ve just started watching through ‘87 and if there is one thing that’s stood out to me, it’s Splinter!! He’s HILARIOUS, not to mention an amazing Sensei!! After being so attached to later Splinter adaptations I was genuinely surprised to love ‘87’s so much, seriously no one talks about this guy enough!
So I just drew both, I think they’d be friends <3

TMayNT day 11: favourite Splinter!
Pretty simple artwork for today’s prompt, I’m starting to feel the burnout (combined with, y’know, having a full time job…), but I’m still proud of this piece! ‘03 Splinter is the perfect mix of wise, parental, and chill, with just a smidge of sass, and it’s great

TMayNT Day 11: Favorite Splinter
2012 Splinter is a mix between a good sensei and a loving father, I like that most recent incarnations had developed his dad side some more
TMayNT Day 12: Best turtle vehicle
Definitely 2007 Raph's Shell Cycle!
TMayNT Day 13: Best Don
My sister sent me this, she learned how to do it with vectors (I think it's how they are called in english). So… thank you sis!ヾ(•ω•`)o
TMayNT Day 14: Favorite turtle movie
The rise movie was the reason I started watching tmnt series and movies after many years
TMayNT Day 15: Best Karai!
From the 2007 movie, I like her design and the way she leads the Foot Clan

@tmaynt Day 11: Favorite Splinter
I Think 2003 Splinter is my favorite because he was just a Rat! He wasn't a man turned into a rat, he was just a little rat, who was shown kindness, and when he saw 4 baby turtles washed into the sewers, he went "I'm going to take care of them". And he wasn't even mutated with higher intelligence either! He just saw these little lives and decided to take care of them like he had been taken care of before.
Also he's just always there for his sons. He's not afraid to go out there and face whatever danger his sons are facing. And when the turtles got kidnapped by the Ninja Tribunal, he went all the way to Japan to make sure they were safe. HE JUST CARES ABOUT HIS SONS SO MUCH AND HE WAS A RAT!!
Bonus sketches I did before coloring the one with the tots
I liked his travel outfit from the ninja tribunal arc. Should have kept it lol

@tmaynt
I love this man. Have you seen 87 TMNT? He's simply so precious. A real sweet guy. A warm hearted softy.
There's an episode where a ray can demutate him and he personally destroys it to protect his turtles. There's an episode he showed up guns literally ablaze to save his boys. He calls the turtles "my turtles" or "my sons". There's also an episode where he cures the turtles by giving them moth balls and gaslighting them. He let's them call him 'Master Splinter' because that's their nickname for him because he's really good at splitting wood. There was an episode where Donatello made an anti mutagen and Splinter told them he'd rather stay with his boys. He's the ultimate found family dad.
🥰💕🥰💕🥰💕
Close up!

Day 11
It's time to give 2003 splinter some love...
I love how he genuinely tries for his sons, and puts up with some of their shit 💀
Some honorable mentions: 2012 and Mutant Mayhem. They're both funny and care

Out of the Splinter’s I think 2003 is arguably the best dad.

TMayNT Day 11: Favorite Splinter
Day 11 of @tmaynt! I was having a hard time choosing a favorite Splinter, so I just... didn't.
Each version of Splinter that I'm familiar with is just so distinct, and I think that's really awesome! Playing around with Splinter's backstory and personality doesn't only affect his character, but also the relationship he has with his sons: Sensei, Father, Dad.
(Obviously, all three are a combination of each! But, you know what I mean. In simple terms.)
