One last drawing for the @tmnt-fandom-family-reunion Campfire Stories event!! I’m not sure I finished this in time for the event, but I still wanted to get it out since it’s the only one of the pieces I draw that has the ACTUAL CAMPFIRE front and center LOL

This one is my Mikey from TMNT: Children of the Sky, the Captains from @vearri’s Captain x2 AU, and Leo from @olliethescribe’s No Crime Only Brooches AU! They’re just vibin, Mikey thinks the Captains’ metal arm is super cool!

T-May-NT Day 4: Baby Turtles

You know what this actually wasn’t intended to be for this challenge, I just wanted to draw my iteration and then looked at today’s prompt and realized PERFECT!! So here you go, have the Children of the Sky turtle tots wandering the sewers with their dad, Yoshi.

Another piece for the @tmnt-fandom-family-reunion Campfire Stories event! Another one of my turtles slipped away from the actual campfire; CotS Leo found @aquietwritingcorner’s Little Don AU Leo practicing some katas over in the training area. The two have been swapping stories and comparing worlds, and CotS Leo definitely looks up to Little Don Leo now.

GUESS WHAT Y’ALL, my turtles are part of the @tmnt-fandom-family-reunion! We’re proud members of the Mystery Cabin (aka cabin 16 lol) and we’ve already had some shenanigans going on. I wanted to draw a whole entry comic but art block has been kicking my butt, so I dove right into character interactions with CotS Don and @moth_boi_lycan ‘s Alter Donnie!

Don is… intrigued. He’s not exactly sure what to make of Alter Donnie. He really wants to know how the mask (or not a mask???) works.

T-May-NT Day 10: Favorite Turtle Curse Word

I was originally planning to draw this with the 03 cast but then I realized that would have me drawing 03 for four or five days in a row so I decided that was a great excuse to use my own iteration instead!! Really I’ll take any excuse to draw these guys lol, I’ve been really loving fleshing out this story.

I love “what the shell” so much, I used to say it occasionally when I was a kid after picking it up from the 03 show. There’s something about it that just makes me grin, such a silly little curse and I love it!

Sooooo my boys are very excited about the @tmnt-fandom-family-reunion Craft Fair event!

In TMNT: Children of the Sky, Mikey and Leo are the creatives of the team! Mikey I has a very cartoony style and loves to work in different mediums, including many that aren’t exactly meant for art lol. Leo on the other hand has a more realistic style, and tends to stick with paints. Sometimes they’ll get competitive with their art (because honestly all the CotS boys can be overly competitive) but when they work together they can make some awesome stuff!!

Hopefully they’ll get competitive with the other cabins and not each other…

Featuring a little cameo of the Captains from @veearrifarrariboom’s Captain x2 AU!

While doing the exploration doodles for my turtles I was trying to get a feel for their designs (especially with bandanna length) and then suddenly I had a BREAKTHROUGH

In my iteration (TMNT: Children of the Sky) each turtle is actually associated with an element. These elements are pulled from the Foot Mystics in the 2003 version (excluding metal because I always thought metal was a weird addition) and I’m not sure yet if the turtles will ever have true “powers” from these associations or if it will primarily be a symbolic thing… either way, their mask tails now each give a hint to their element!

Leo’s mask already reflects his element with the coloring, so he has a pretty traditional mask with long tails that have a lot of curves to represent water.

Raph’s tails are probably the most fun because I already knew I wanted them to be ripped and jagged, and it honestly just makes sense to draw them a bit like a flame.

Donnie’s tails are short and square which is basically what I’m going for with his entire design — with him as the earth element I really want to lean into a very blocky build for him, and the tails fit that perfectly now!

Ok usually I’m a short tails Mikey kind of gal but then I realized that as the wind element my Mikey absolutely needs to have the longest mask tails so I can draw them dramatically stretched out in the wind. Plus I added really long splits down them, which I think will provide some really great dynamic posing!

FINALLY finished with a design sheet for my TMNT iteration! I’ve been fighting with these designs for a while now but I think I finally settled on something that I’m at least happy enough with to post.
