Wow I really haven’t drawn anything independently in ages. Here is a freckled 1987 Donatello sketch because for some reason I love the idea? Who knows why.

But yeah, until early May I am going to be stupidly busy, so mostly commissioned art as I cry over my assignments /jk

PUNK (PUNK) TACTICS

[my-name-is-bunnyfoxy]

~ Donatello, Venus and Michelangelo Hamato💜🩵🧡🐢 ~

- Ugh finally got these three idiots's designs done, thank god. I will say I'm not entirely sure how happy I am with how they turned out, or if I'm even happy at all with how they look. I'm highly iffy on Vee and Mike's designs. If anyone's curious- the designs were heavily based off of Bayverse and turtles in time TMNT Summer shorts. Also random headcannon but Mikey followed Raph a lot when they were younger kids which led to him getting injured a lot due to some of the stunts both did. Which he still does to this day which explains the bandages. Anyways if you'll excuse me I'm gonna go collapse on my bed and contemplate my life and dream about random crap that will make people question if I'm okay or not- -

PERSONAL TMNT DESIGNS!!

Click images for better quality!!<3

Basic info under the cut

Leo: the oldest, and a very big dork. Tries his best to be serious and responsible, and live up to Splinter’s expectations…but sometimes a kid just needs to read comics and cosplay his favourite hero from ‘Satellite Strike’. He loves encouraging and supporting his brothers (when they’re not being a pain in the shell).

Mikey: youngest, tied with Donnie. Super energetic and quite the goofball, but he’s always there for his brothers when he needs to be. Super creative and the life of the party, he encourages the others to let loose and have fun. Doesn’t like being alone, worries he’s being annoying a lot.

Donnie: also youngest tied with Mikey. Full of anxiety, but can be very mischievous and feral when he wants to be (Mikey typically encourages this.) extremely smart, but typically downplays his abilities.

Raph: second oldest. I based him around ‘87 Raph, so he’s less violent and more snarky/rude when he’s angry- he’s a big softy even if he wouldn’t admit it, being very protective of his brothers, especially Donnie.

Donnie and Mikey are non-identical twins! Having said that Donnie and Raph are SUPER close to eachother- the two of them were both captured by kraang when they were younger for experimentation. Raph got his scars from saving Donnie- and Donnie wears overalls now to hide his mostly damaged Plastron, thanks to some not-very-ethical surgeries.

Leo and Raph don’t butt heads as often as some of their other versions, but when they do it gets very heated very quickly.

In the earlier days, Splinter had higher, harsher expectations for them, Leo specifically, as he was the oldest. Splinter has only mutated recently, and wasn’t in a good place. He figured the best thing to do was train them as quick as he could, to protect themselves. He was often distant and harsh. Leo began to struggle with his self image, and isolated himself from his brothers, which caused the dynamic to grow tense and uncomfortable. Mikey suffered from this a lot, and still has attachment issues to this day.

As they got older Splinter realized what he was doing and who he was hurting, and him and the turtles worked on fixing their relationship. (Splinter takes online therapy every Wednesday, under a fake account that Donnie helped set up.)

Later on in this story (like- nearish future) Leo gains the Classic Knee Injury TM and it doesn’t heal properly, so he has to learn to fight differently, and to rely on his brothers for help every now and then. (But he’s still the most skilled ninja master around fr)

OKAY THAT WAS ALOT OF TALKING HOPE U LIKE IT BYEE<33

Rise Ramblings #234

While watching “The Clothes Don’t Make The Turtle,” I noticed something.

I found it interesting that Raph, Mikey, and Leo were content with Raph’s outfit choice until Donnie stated that he wasn’t “in love with it, ya’ know.”

Suddenly, Raph declares “I’m a disaster!” Albeit ridiculously endearing, it was a little strange to see his sudden shift from moderately content to absolute dissatisfaction. Huh…

Then, the disaster twins decide to help him out.

Take a note of their outfit choices.

Raph tries on all of these fits and more.

Donnie’s first choice is a mild “no.” Leo’s choice is a hard “NO.” (Not surprising, lol.) But then, the overwhelming consensus lands on Raph’s fourth outfit, which ended up being Donatello’s other pick for his brother.

So, in summary, Raph tried on his personal choice for an outfit, of which they rejected. Then, ultimately, Donatello picked out an outfit for his brother, and that pick ended up being perfect. Hmm…

Then I noticed something else. In this episode, we never get a Donnie “curtain reveal” moment, to our disdain. I mean, Raph, Leo, and Mikey got to try on several different outfits in order to get their brothers' opinions before landing on that “perfect outfit, you know the one.” All of his brothers got to shine. Why not DonTron?

Then it hit me.

The try-ons were to get their brothers' opinions and approval. And, for his brothers' choices, he was a major contributor in assisting them in pulling their looks together.

What if, bear with me, Donnie didn’t need the "curtain scene" because he was so confident in his fashion sense that he didn’t need to ask his brothers for help to pick out a great look.

…or they figured out how to break Hypno’s spell before he could get a “curtain reveal.” BUT STILL-

Look at his outfit choices in this episode. Some of his wardrobe changes were off-screen, but all of them were fire.

(I added the baseball cap pic because it makes me happy. I wish we'd seen more of that fit.)

To me, he makes some really smart choices for himself, pushing the envelope of what is expected and taking chances: an open collar with no tie for a “black tie” event, a beanie and spiked wristbands for their “gansta look,” no socks with loafers (a viral fashion trend that actually began in Africa) with old man slacks in his reclined pose. *muah* Chef’s kiss!

But Don’s fashion sense doesn’t just shine in this episode.

In “Reparin’ the Baron” the boys go to Draxum’s apartment. Leo and Donnie show up in some extra nice “Sunday Dinner” twin drip.

The gold is in the details. Everything Leo is wearing, Donnie rocks its compliment: for Leo’s round collar, Donnie’s is angled, for Leo’s blue shirt, Donnie’s is white, For Leo’s light slacks, Donnie’s are dark. Blah blah blah. It’s so good!

Look at the winter fit in Snow Day.

Again, Donnie is Leo’s perfect compliment. As a pair? Fire.

Donnie has “the eye.” I can go on and on with examples, but I’ve said all of that to say this…

In the future, we see that Donatello’s technology had major pull in the resistance. He had drone ships patrolling the skies. He built and designed Leo’s arm, Casey’s chainsaw-hockey stick, and Casey's mask. The list goes on…

But, when Donatello from the past see’s Casey’s clothing from the future, he says this:

We know about the “Genius Built” brand. We’ve seen that logo on all of his tech up to this point. But, here he didn’t just say “Genius Built.” He said, “Genius Built Apparel.”

“Apparel” is not a tech brand. “Apparel” is a fashion brand. Of course, tech is incorporated into the clothing, but still.

This means that past Donatello secured this trademark with plans of creating a fashion brand, comparable to the likes of Gucci, Ralph Lauren, or any other modern clothing brand, as a subsidiary of “Genius Built,” the tech company.

And why not? The evidence has been in front of us this entire time. He has a sharp eye for style, fashion, and trends. It is easily canon that he can sew. Splinter sewed their ninja garbs in “Insane in the Mama Train,” and there is a sewing machine in the house.

They already learned Ninjutsu through basically osmosis, so learning to sew is not too far-fetched.

And here it is, right in front of us, Casey’s entire ensemble, from mask, to weapons, to clothing, was made by Donatello in the middle of the apocalypse under the brand name “Genius Built Apparel.”

And that was just in the bad future. Resources were limited, they didn’t have access to much of anything in that broken world as they were survivors of a devastating Krang invasion. Yet, he created all of this.

However, now that they’ve changed the future, his future as a fashion designer is limitless. Think of what Donatello could produce with unlimited resources, unlimited technology, and unlimited creative freedom.

Tech genius. Clothing designer. Fashionista. Future Genius Built Apparel Owner and CEO. I’m sorry, but I have to call it...

Donatello Hamato of the present, of the bad future, and of the good future is a fashion icon, the likes of which the world has never seen. ○○○○

Update: I've decided to make this concept into a mini-comic series!

Want matching phone wallpapers with your bestie who also loves rise?

I've got ya

Also I'm totally not jealous

Didn’t think Raph's arm through

But hey you can add your own filters and backgrounds too!

Cute right? (Screenshot from the movie)

Want them the other way around but hate having the gear mirrored?

No problem

Ok bye have fun

BEGINNING || PREVIOUS || NEXT MASTER POST

What, you thought there wasn't going to be some drama in this holiday special?? Do you even know me???

Also, see?? Leo’s doing fine! It’s been a few years since the last post so he’s had plenty of time to set up all his unhealthy coping mechanisms.

Whew, I have to say this special is easily the most extensive thing I've done so far for Replica. This is the only time we'll probably see the Central Park Colony in its hay day so wanted to make the effort to show what I could. I love visual story telling, but hate doing backgrounds haha, it's a problem! I'll admit this is a lot messier than what I've been doing as of late but we're just going to have to deal since we have so much ground to cover. It might get messier, I make no promises. Next up, I think Casey and Raph need to have a talk.

[scatterbrainedbot]

cass, a professional: order of badass donbot, extra dramatic entrance!

me, nodding, banned from most kitchens: leo drama and angst, heard chef!

(shoutout to @somerandomdudelmao for yet again making feel emotions i cannot fully explain)

[charcoaldustonmyfingers]

Some Donnie tech doodles! A lot of how his tech works in the show is honestly more magic than the actual mystic stuff. How’d he fit all those tennis balls in his tech-bō when they fought the silverfish?? Maybe he’s been using some ninpō to enhance his stuff far before he realized it…

I tried to be a little more realistic with what might fit inside the tech-bō, though it’s far from hard science!

[cupcakeslushie]

I can never make up my mind on Mikey’s design. But I just felt like doing something different.

Also I love making Donnie and Leo look like legit twins. Their hair is basically the same, but Donnie’s is one big mess that he never brushes lol.

[dysfunctional-doodle]

Doodling some 2003 Mikey designs! I somehow started to fuse him with rise Mikey, especially with that last one, oops.

This is the design I am using (or close to) for my chat fic, Too Many Turtles! I will probably drop more designs later…maybe.

The real problem with all existing tabletop RPG adaptations of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise is that in not one of them are your core numeric stats "Teenage", "Mutant", "Ninja" and "Turtle".

[intotheelliwoods]

I have been meaning to do a crossover with the one and only @kathaynesart for such a long time! And the @tmntaucompetition has created the perfect excuse for this :)

I think Sprout and Omega would have a surprising amount in common, they have a lot they can talk about with one another!

Apologies for the cliffhanger- haha- whoops-
