I'm actually a teenage mutant ninja 🐢

I’m a huge sucker for the whole headcanon of Donnie using his own form of ASL especially when he was younger, I made this tot comic a few months back and felt like it deserved to be inked.

bonus for after he turned back to normal:

I like the idea that Raph taught him when it became a communication problem, and Mikey noticed this for the first time when they were turned into tots (since Mikey was literally a baby when it happened originally), so he had to break out Raph’s “How to be a Big Brother like a Boss” book (from the og ToddlerMNT storyboards hehe) to figure out how to help. :,)

also I know DAMN well that Mikey didn’t know this as a child and genuinely through Donnie just couldn’t hear him.

Poor baby doesn’t know anything he’s just three apples tall he doesn’t know any better 😭😭

Resonance: Time Ripple pg. 5

The plush “grumpy Leo” button I made last year is actually based on this page… which really shows how long Resonance has been on pause 😭

Quick catch-up (because I really picked a wild place to stop last year):

The first “Small Time Ripple” has begun. Donnie creates the Donnie-Pods after realizing, for the first time, that missions can go catastrophically wrong.

Meanwhile, Future Leo wakes up from a dream he can’t fully place; fragments of a past that may or may not belong to him, overlapping with the sound of his present-day brother’s voice.

Finally, the promised missing brother!

My external drive decided that it couldn't survive the plane trip back from Texas, so I had to redo Raph, whoops. (April will be next!)

Raph is basically a teenage Kaiju. He seems a bit smaller when he's with the others because he tends to hunch over and make himself smaller, but for the sake of reference I have him standing up.

The Archelon are a type of prehistoric Sea Turtle. They were gigantic, and because we don't fully know what they looked like, I had a bit of free reign on his design. I studied the skeletal structures, and artistic diagrams of what they were thought to look like. Then I combined it a bit with the Leatherback, and gave him a giant Godzilla tail, because I think I will go ahead and do a short story on this and tail havoc is a plot point. (side note: I'm not posting my refs because they are skeletons and other artist representations and I don't feel right about posting art -even scientific- that is not my own.)

Ya'll were about to meet my Old Man Donnie in the comic, but this is better. Meet him being a crab-pot about the Overalls. Because I keep drawing the overalls instead of the comic - whoops. My friend got worried I would change Donnie's design in Resonance because I'm so tickled by his 'official' look. Nah, he's still going to look like he's on the losing side of a fist fight with Ronin Donnie but managed to steal his clothes.
