#shelldon

Ahh a wise choice indeed, anon.

These designs are still rough, and are being workshopped, so they may be updated later! Ty for the ask!

hear me out.

one of shelldon's problems is that he feels like donnie is only using him for whatever he wants, not for him as a person. it is shown in the series that donnie and shelldon are very similar to how they think and do get along as father and son. i keep thinking about how at the drone races how different shelldon could've turned out.

shelldon gets rejected by the ppl he was family, but they were just using him to get the shadow transmitter (i wish we got more on it but sadly the series was cut short). and then they abanonded him.

what if, for some reason, donnie isn't able to reach shelldon after that? shelldon is alone. he thinks the guy who created him thinks he's burden and just using him for his own gains. the people who he thought were family abandoned and just used him.

he's only something to be used. and remember, shelldon can hack into things, just as a drone. and the shadow transmitter, via kendra can hack on anything in the planet.

maaaaannnnn. the design i have in my mind for him. looord. i'm not joking when i saw i had something in my mind for an evil shelldon au.

I'm rewatching Breaking Purple and I've came to inflict damage onto you all. I paused a scene to get some info for an analysis I'm writing on Donnie.

Donnie only cries under very specific circumstances.

When he thought Splinter lied to him and Mikey and were just using them, thinking Splinter didn't care about them. And also during a speech where he encourages his boys to be themselves.

He also cried when he thought Leo died.

In Breaking Purple, when Shelldon was arguing with Donnie, and not paying attention to the saw, it's a literal blink and you'll miss it. Donnie starts welling up with tears. He genuinely thought Shelldon was gonna die.

Part 1!

MASTER POST / PART 2

Made a name for my dumb little au idea

This is the prologue for the last few sketches I made

High fantasy magma!

Thank you for explaining the definition of high fantasy, Rhys! I was so curious on how far it can go and found out that Space Opera is part of it :D sci-fi high fantasy!

Shelldon spaceship plus the turtle-aliens out on high stakes adventure. I used all my design and effort points on shelldon, so uh, the only alien characteristics I gave the turtles were claws and colored sclera, but you get the gist lmao

Second piece is @vulstare's turtlebird Donnie! I thought I had less time and asked for her help, I had more time than i realized but it was still a good call. She did the wings, tail and talons, and I did the rest :) Gave him mystic revolvers for the extra pop of magic.

Separate post for this one!

We were talking on the canvas and I doodled a softshell in a pokéball, and that snowballed to this whole thing!
