I’ve been waiting for Hozier’s new song to drop since earlier this month (“Too Sweet”) just to make this comic.
I have a prediction for the Tales of the TMNT series: Once Shredder is put into the picture, an encounter with him results in Leo getting a nasty scar (much like 2003Leo). Soon after they all realize that whoever is even associated with them is in risk of getting hurt by their foes. The tmnt make the difficult decision to distance themselves from April entirely for her safety. Leo is the one who is pushed to bring this news to her (which is what we see in the last two panels of this comic.)
Realistically, this most likely won’t happen in the series since it seems to be heading towards something more lighthearted and not 2003tmnt-esc. But it was still fun creating this piece.
I have another prediction about Karai’s introduction, but I’ll save that explanation for a future post.
Here’s a bit of Mikey’s life in my 2012tmntFuture!AU
Mikey owns Murakami’s restaurant after he passes away, as I’ve stated in a previous post. After a couple of years, Mikey hires Keno; a 15 year old kid trying to help support him and his mom financially. I drew a few of their interactions, they have a sibling dynamic/mentor and pupil dynamic (but Mikey doesn’t wanna admit it).
I like to think that Renet visits his restaurant from time-to-time, which ultimately distracts Mikey haha.
