'SUP

I got a new tablet. It's been So many years drawing digitally, I feel So rusty lot's of warm up Sketches to come. . First time having o tablet to directly draw on. I hope I can get better with it soon. Feels like I forgot how to draw

I basically grew up with TMNT and I watched every new made version of it. What drew me in to RoTTMNT the most though, was stretching the mold. 2012 kind a did that, with adding a lot of mutants, but RotTMNT went a step further with the brothers.

By rearranging Raph’s form, he still kept his purpose of being protective over his brothers, but his anger had different source, rather than just stamming from anger issues. I like that he became the biggest and strongest, not only due to hard work but his biological form. It’s his strength brought to live, so even people first time watching would catch it right away. So his anger this time around, comes from his team stepping out of line where his form can’t follow and protect. It’s more reflectable.

Rise gave Leo the time to be a teenager, like in the title and the movie to mature into a leader. I felt that speech when trying to get Raph come to senses was really important and yes, it has a similarity to a certain Apocalypse episode of tmnt 2012.

Mikey was still the chaos nugget so many fans adored, but I enjoy this version the most, because he isn’t goofy because his character demands it, he’s quirky, lively but overall adorable and yet true to his „mikey“ form.

Donatello in my opinion had a vaild update in RoTTMNT too. He wasn’t just a nerd, he has wits and other quirks too and he therefor is overall more likeable, then just being liked for his „intellect and vulnerability“. Yet, RoTTMNT kept that vulnerability that Donnies former uneasiness always brought and gave it form with his soft shell. Also why is nobody talking about that timetravel joke „if time travel was possible, he‘d tell me the lottery numbers like WE always planned.“ had me laughing out loud XD he‘s funny in a fresh way!

Eventhough RoTTMNT splinter had had a lot if negativ input, I enjoyed their take of a NY version and how it came to be.

April RoTTMNT 100/10. more than 5 stars baby

Animation is simply amazing. You see the love that was put into it in every detail. Like, really look at the fights again and again. It’s not your typical 1 fighter at the time hollywood hustle. They really emphasize to try to be real and chaotic, like a group fight would come to be.

And the finished watercolor artwork. Goodbye Deponia…and furthermore Rufus.
