Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles jam piece commission (2022)

Everyone Understands the Plan? 

This genderbend AU found its way back into my head recently. I loved drawing them again.

So I made a deep dive to my old fandom TMNT 2012, remembered the NEXT GEN AU's existence and got possessed to draw this for 2 days straight. 😂

my friend @tampadilla is working a comic based on our next gen characters, and we've been shipping these two for years lmao! I missed drawing the dumb shenanigans. 💕

So, for some reason, there has recently been a small surge of activity on my old Irrilia-stuff here on tumblr? And I don't know why…? (°▽°)

Anyway, it made me really happy and nostalgic, so I wanted to share this old sketch dump I planned on posting ages ago but never got around to.

Please enjoy some improbable TMNT Next Generation children and cousin bickering! 💚

Irrilia is a super fan of Space Heroes. Raph blames uncle Leo.

Remy is not a fan of Space Heroes and think it's corny as hell.

Kohana couldn't care less.

Mikey is the fun (scary) uncle.

April probably taught Irrilia how to tie a bow at some point, and dad's bandana tails are an easy target.

The No “I Love You” Animatic In case Tumblr can’t play the video, here’s the Vimeo Link

Link to the AO3 collection So, when @fictionissocialinquiry laid out this challenge, it was mainly for writers; but she included some extra prompts therein, and one was a line from Hozier’s “Shrike”.

I couldn’t whisper when you needed it shouted This led me to listen to “Shrike” on repeat while I feverishly started doodling the thumbnails for the animatic I got in my head (so I hope that some of that emotion from Hozier’s amazing song comes through in the final board, ‘cause I listened to it. A. Lot.). While I think it’s a bit easier for drawings to express “I love you” without any words needed at all. I wanted to try and approach the task by thinking of ways one can confess that they love someone through acts of service and tenderness versus super obvious displays of love, I guess. It came out with a sort of courtly love-ish vibe that I really ended up liking. (Though I suppose reciprocation makes it not courtly love ANYWHO…)

I’m in an Ambassador Katara/Fire Lord Zuko state of mind! I just love any love story with them in these roles. There are so many different ways to play with the set up of them as Ambassador and Fire Lord. In this one, I kind of picture that they haven’t gotten together yet (this is divergent from whatever I did in the Reunion animatics; this is it’s own thing). Perhaps they are on the precipice of realizing they want to be together… I don’t know; it’s open to interpretation. XD but what I hope I portrayed clearly is how one can show that they love another. u.u
