#artastrophe

I’m sorry if this is hard to read on mobile or PC, I like doing page layouts for practice in case I decide to make my own graphic novel.

This took me 8 hours in total, from May 2 to May 4, after a period of really intense artistic self loathing. Thankfully, loathing has subsided! For now XD.

The most fun part to draw was the background in Panel one. I used to fear background, but I’m slowly starting to rlly like them!

Some cross-over/au details:

- All three boys are on season one of their respective shows, so Danny and Randy are 14 and Peter is 16

- This is Spectacular Spider-Man specifically (he’s my favourite)

- Danny and Randy go to the same school. Decided to mesh together Norrisville and Amity Park. Since Randy’s school is more relevant to his lore, I decided to keep their school as Norrisville High, while the city is Amity Park.

- They’re on a field trip to New York, where they met Peter.

I might make a follow up comic where Peter helps them with their homework. The lucky bastard is the only Smart Kid ™️ (afaicr anyways, I havent seen RC9GN in a while)

Ik that usually Jake Long is the third member of the trio, but I’ve never seen that show and Im a big TSSM fan, so yanno, wanted to build my own trio XD

^ Character in background is my sona. Will probs post more abt her if yalls curious

I see myself in 2012 Raphael almost more than I do any other character. I am a really angry, loud, and opinionated person, I'm EXTREMELY easy to ragebait.

This comic is based on an exchange I regularly have with my parents.

"Why are you mad?" They ask, when all I did was slightly raise my voice. They act like they've never used the same tone of voice, and it ticks me off that I can't say "why are you mad?" back at them bc I'll end up grounded for talking back.

And idk, I feel like this is a problem Raph would have a lot too, so I thought I'd make a short comic on it.

In this AU they're all just normal highschoolers, no ninja bullshit, no Kraang, no foot, they get to be kids. These 4 were adopted by Hamato Yoshi after he lost his wife, and were raised alongside Miwa.

Design details:

- Donnie is 6"0, Leo is 5"7, Raph is 5"5(and mad about it) and Mikey is 5"3.

- Made it so Leo and Raph resemble each other more, like their og designs.

- All for are wasian but the white half hit Donnie and Mikey way harder.

Headcanons for each character:

Raph

- wears chunky boots to compensate for his height

- Takes the best care of his hair out of the 4, he's kinda vain abt it. I like the idea bc it contrasts his tough guy shit

- Gym rat, clearly

- Guns are ALWAYS out, unless he's wearing a leather jacket

- He's in a band, plays drums

- Tags and graffitis, does art for fun. His tag is Sai

- Member of the hockey team, its how he befriends Casey

- Everyone that isn't friends with him is scared of him.

Leo

- Handsome pretty boy, the girls and the gays love him.

- Ran for president of student council at Splinters suggestion, he won.

- 70% of his clothing is space heroes merch.

- Fairly popular and well known

- Silver medalist karate champion

Donnie

- Best student in their entire school, but MOST of his grade is carried by his contribution to their research department. His ass sucks at the social studies and humanities.

- Nobody knows who this man is, he's always doing labwork

- Paid internship at TCRI. TCRI is a shitty and corrupt company, but Donnie is a fantasti asset and they do EVERYTHING in their power to keep him off their ass and complacent.

- Bros got eyebags for days and is high on caffeine

Mikey

- Fairly popular and well liked just like Leo! Except he cant remember most ppls names, so he makes up nicknames

- Always invited to parties, he and Leo take Donnie and Raph as their plus one cuz ppl dont usually invite them

- Bros got adhd and it is uNMEDICATED, he does not do well at school

- No one bullies him, people knows he has ties to Raph and people are too scared of Raph.

General Headcanons:

- The four barely look like each other, so even though they have the same surname ppl dont think they're related. They assume its a freaky coincidence

- They all have their own friendgroups at school, but they always hang out outside of school. The other 3 have to drag Donnie with them

- They've got a bunch of pets at home. Namely 4 pet turtles named Sai, Bo, Chuck, and Tana, a rat named Splinter, and a snake called Karai. Raph is their main caretaker.

- They all did martial arts as kids but only Leo kept up with it untill Highschool.

- All 4 are fantastic swimmers and people are always surprised to see that Donnie has any physical prowess

- April has been friends with them since middleschool

This was meant to be a single panel comic… and then I came up with dialogue for the following conversation, BUT THERE WAS NO WAY I HELL I WAS GONNA POLISH AND COLOR THOSE PANELS TOO, the first one took me 3 hours.

I also would like to clarify: THIS IS NOT A ROMANTIC SHIP! It is a friend ship, that being said, don’t tag this as Zora x Noelle pls. Im thinking of calling them the Silveale siblings.

Anyways, reasons why I think they’d be friends

- Their dynamic would be funny as shit, they’re both tsunderes that love to tease. I think most of the time, Zora is the one teasing Noelle, but every once in a while she smacks him back harder, and he cant come up with a good retort XD

- Zora’s fairly isolated from the Bulls(as of rejoining them anyways), he hasnt been close to anyone since his fathers’ death, I think it’d be good for him to have a younger sister figure

- Their powers contrast nicely. One has very little mana but is very tactical and controlled when using it, and the other has a shit ton of mana but struggles with managing it

- Noelle’s family is ass. Nozel is kind of alright, but for most of her life they have been ASS. She’s already got a big sister in Vanessa, I think it’d be neat if she found a big brother in Zora

Annd some headcanons for their dynamic:

- Both of them would rather die than praise/show verbal affection (to everyone, not just each other) so sometimes they get each other small gifts or do favors

- Zora slowly gets more protective of Noelle overtime, and he’s a wingman whenever she’s around Asta

- Neither of them admit that they’re close, only a few of the Bulls notice that theyre close (Vanessa, Finral, Gordon, and Luck)

- When Zora finds out how shit her family was to Noelle, he sets traps in the Silva castle

Aaand yeah, thats all I got XD You can see me slowly getting better at drawing Zora throughout the comic, I dont like how his face turned out in the colored panel, he’s such a bitch to draw.
