Ones hands can tell the story of how they’ve lived… and how far they have come.

I’m a sucker for Good Dad Splinter ever since I watched TMNT ‘03. That rat was gifted sapience and his immediate instinct was kindness. I love that for him.

Rise Splinter lived a rollercoaster of a life, but as a Hollywood star he remembered the names of all his stunt guys and coworkers, and as a prisoner he cared for the rat that shared his cell. His sons are very close and physically affectionate, I think that says something about how he cares? That’s just how I like to headcanon him :)

It’s interesting to explore the idea that a seemingly monstrous transformation is what pushed him to be a kinder human

Apparently when my younger brother was just born my mom found him napping with his blanket fully covering him, and she pulled back the sheet (worried he couldn't breathe or something) to find him fully awake staring at her. It scared the shit out of her and she still talks about it to this day lmao

#also in case anyone was wondering about raph and leo having swapped blankets: #I imagine that Raph stole Leo's blanket before nap time so Leo just took Raphs #Then Raph stole Leo's blanket again lol #also Mikey's baby blanket is inspired by mine <3 #<3 <3 <3 #tmnt #tmnt mikey #tmnt raph #tmnt donnie #tmnt leo #tmnt 2012 #raph 2012 #leo 2012 #mikey 2012 #donnie 2012 #tmnt splinter #master splinter #I actually hate drawing splinter he was so hard to draw #this is not as funny as it was in my head but thats okay #sleepy art

The way they choreographed Raph's fighting style and depicted his strength really makes me think they were literally a step away from giving him a license to kill someone💀

L : Hey, Raph ? You're not cheating, right ? No way you're winning twice in a row..

R : I don't need to cheat to beat you, Leo.

This is my art trade piece with @2aceofspades ! Go check their blog, they post a lot of cool art on it. You can also admire the wonderful piece they drew right here !

I had a lot of fun drawing this, thanks again for doing this with me, Ace ! :>

Well. Every tmnt artist has to turn them into humans eventually, I suppose.

Sorry for not posting a ton lately, I have been................. playing fire emblem three houses.............. busy............ Also I've been feeling a little burned out on art, admitedly. Don't worry, it's very much temporary! Last month was just pretty high tempo for me, expecially with the Cell Talk comic, so I just needed to take a short break from drawing to also play fire emblem but I'm getting back into an art-mood now! I decided to draw humanified turtles as a bit of a warm up basically, I've been wanting to do it for quite some time so it was just a fun little thing for me :]

Anyway, some thoughts about the designs-

A lot of people draw Leo as blonde, and I was fully intending to draw him blonde as well, but then I just wanted to see what he'd look like with brown hair instead and I just.... liked that a bit more, so he's a brunette now. Also he has dimples because of course he has dimples. And Mikey has freckles because OF COURSE he has freckles! And Donnie ALSO has freckles because he's my blorbo and I give all my blorbos freckles cuz they're neat. All of them have pretty small eyebrows except for Donnie because he fills them in with makeup. I thought for a while of how I would translate Leo's facial markings into his human design, and I ended up settling for birthmarks (also some red eyeliner cuz his face needs a bit of red on it)

#these human designs may or may not appear in the TSAU for plot reasons i shall not yet disclose #except for donnie lol #actually it's not really a spoiler hold on #you know in the first episode of the show with those lackeys draxum hired to capture mayhem? #and how they were wearing cloaking brooches? #yeah the drax bros are gonna take their place in the au lol #yes i just wanted an excuse to draw them as humans but also i have very valid plot reasons to do so >:P #tizel art #my art #digital art #illustration #tmnt #rottmnt #teenage mutant ninja turtles #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt fanart #rottmnt leo #rottmnt donnie #rottmnt raph #rottmnt mikey #leonardo #donatello #raphael #michelangelo #rottmnt human #rottmnt human design #tmnt human #tmnt human design

hi @onionninjasstuff 's villain pb&j AU is the funniest shit ive read in A WHILE, so i drew the sillies

#my art #rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rise of the tmnt #tmnt #villain pb&j duo #rottmnt donnie #rottmnt leo #rottmnt raph #rottmnt mikey #I LOVE. HOW UNHINGED 2000S CARTOON VILLAIN THEY ARE. also the playlist goes hard

[gejnialnie]

hi I don't think this duo gets enough love, so here are my fave screenshots of Raph and Leo mirroring each other! :D

+bonus:

look at this frame! don't their poses look similar, even though they're in totally different places?? well, there's a simple reason for it! we can see raph in the driver seat, his left hand on the wheel, while the other one's searching for someting, it's symbolising his active role as leader, while leo stands alongside him, his left hand on a handhold while he gestures with the other, showing him being less active and more of a passive presence, but he's ready on his feet, it's symbolising his potential as raph's co-leader but also him not yet being ready, still gripping the safety rails instead of the driving wheel-

(nah i'm kidding- like, was it just artists drawing similar poses in one scene? oh yeah most definitively! will that stop me from over-analysing? nope! :D this basically wrote itself!)

#there're so many examples of them mirroring each other and im sure i don't have em all!! #don't you think it's interesting every time leo and raph team up they end up in similar poses/expressions A LOT?? because i do!! #writers and animators really said they're co-leaders from the start 🤧 #i mean theres probably a lot of duos trios etc where theyre in the same/similar position but. well. im biased. #also can we talk how they are the only ones to canonically mind-meld?? can we please do that??? ITS REALLY IMPORTANT #brothers of all time ;;;;;;;; #raph is leo's favorite i will die on this hill btw! #rottmnt #rise leo #rise raph #magnet duo #long post

Wanted to post these a while ago, but I didn't know if our reactions would be spoiler enough - but enough time had passed, really.

Anyways- We went to go see the Barbie movie a while back. Still haven't recovered.... in other news, I dressed WONDERFULLY though, soooo... plus, that's supposed to be a before and after.... You can imagine what happened in that theatre room.

I’ve remembered that colors exist

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #rise leo #back to black and white for me #just wanted to play with colors and Leo got to be my guinea pig #genuinely I just kept putting layers on top of each other until I was like hm okay #this is why I stick with greyscale 😭 #too indecisive for color #turtle art tag #the trans implication was for once accidental but my subconscious is RIGHT actually- #he wears the colors well what can I say #anyway you know it’s not me without tags so here we go #the bros represent the four different times of day SO well #Mikey is Dawn Leo is Day Raph is Dusk and Donnie is Night #you can also argue switching Mikey and Leo around too but I like Leo as day simple bc his blue and stripes work with it #blue for clear blue skies #red stripes for dusk yellow for dawn #‘where are his swords’ in the void #man I wanna draw Leo in blue pink and white more often those really are his colors tbh #not JUST for my trans leo agenda either #on that note Mikey would rock fuchsia #and splash colors like that kickass jacket he had in CDMtT #Donnie would do great in lilacs or silvers #and Raph would kill it in gold #tan too would be so pretty on him and paired with gold? 👌👌👌 #not me wanting to draw fashion for them 😭 #on a further note April in emerald greennnnn #midnight blue or marigold for her too would be gorgeous #I could go on all day tbh

Baby April and Raph playing <3

When I was little, and we had first gotten our dog, it was recommended that we annoy him (so that when children inevitably yanked on an ear or something he didn't go for the throat). I IMMEDIATELY volunteered for the task, and would bother him constantly (mess with his ears, poke his teeth, etc).

This ^ is something we do as a byproduct of the training. I hook a finger around one of his teeth and he'd gently shake. It reminded me of Raph and April for some reason, so I drew it! :D

#I fr bullied my dog (gently) #also we weren't allowed to mess with him when he was eating or drinking or anything like that #and hes pretty good at letting us know when we are annoying him too much #He's kinda growly around kids- which I think is the main reason why we were supposed to annoy him #and hes a Dalmatian so kids are kinda constantly trying to pet him. #ANYWAYS IT WAS FUN #tmnt #rottmnt #blah blah blah #tmnt raphael #tmnt april #rottmnt raph #rottmnt april

twenties mutant ninja turtles or whatever you call it

#i think a lot about post-canon (good timeline) stuff with the turtles i feel like it's an untapped field. idk if ive mentioned it ever lol. #rottmnt #rise of the tmnt #rottmnt donnie #rottmnt leo #rottmnt mikey #rottmnt raph #rise leo #rise donnie #rise mikey #rise raph #avepharts #let's call this uhhh #rot20mnt #also the leo arm constant is that he loses an arm no matter the timeline BUT HEY! look it's the other one this time #and yeah the “mikey's hair is seaweed/algae” thing still fucks me up

[charcoaldustonmyfingers]

Lone Raph and Cat! I love the big gruff one being the softest on the inside, gotta be one of my favorite tropes.

Raph in Rise seems to be pretty disliked by animals despite his love for them, which may be because he’s a bit too eager to pet them so he seems scary to such a small animal. I’m sure that, if taught to let them come to up to him first, cats would find Raph as perfect a climbing tree as his brothers do! Let him pet all the cats, he deserves it!
