finally got to experience one of those dreams where you cook up a meme that doesn’t exist, this is exactly how it was phrased and looked like
the one time i have IDEAS and THOUGHTS for DRAWINGS and ART is the one time i have NO TIME TO DRAW !!! (has a fair amount of time) (just finds the sketching process intimidating and puts it off) I HAVE NO TIME !!!!! (yes you do) (shut up girl)
I know that tmnt peaked at rise,,, but what if I made my own version. For fun. I have ugly sketches available for those who are interested
oh gosh (ok long post)
That isn’t even all of them. First of all your enthusiasm for some random sketches is unbelievable. I’m going to cryyy
Ok ANYWAY
I don’t have any story ideas for this. Like, I’m not even settled on these designs, they keep changing. I don’t even know what splinter or April would look like. Again, I did this for fun. Sorry these are very sloppy lol
Leo is a diamondback terrapin, and Donnie is a freshwater terrapin. They are drastically more colorful than the regular green turtles, but…I dunno. This is more for the hardcore tmnt fans who love giving turtles markings and whatnot. Leo looks a little too…young and childish to be a leader? But at the same time, I really wanted to pass the “irregular teeth” baton to him. I thought maybe nobody would be leader now, and just be starting out their whole “ninja vigilante” thing.
I want to be new with each character as much as possible- and for Donnie, I decided he’s the “almost never talks” type. Just big, observant autistic eyes. (Think ferb from phone as and ferb.) don’t worry, he’s still a evil scientist like every other Donatello out there.
Raph is a map turtle, and Mikey a bog turtle.
I’m not too happy with Mikey’s design, being to similar with rise, but I still wanted shape language and color that matched him (which rottmnt did very well.) Mikey is again a living incarnation of ADHD, I just can’t take that away from him. Always wearing around headphones to keep him busy.
Raph is short again, and now looks like a weird 2012/rise hybrid. But again, those shows are good for a reason. I didn’t even mean to make him so similar. Also adhd type, but he’s prone to getting impatient and angry over insults. Troubled soul, he doesn’t actually want to lash out when he’s overstimulated. (Definitely not a self insert, nope haha)
every turtle is an artist of some kind- Donnie obviously rocks machines. He also does all that hacking jazz, scamming scammers, and programming. Leo is an AVID writer. I’m talking an entire library of TV show fanfiction that’s quite popular. Even original stories. (I actually got this from rise Leo, which people tend to ignore his fascination for “betrayals”. Also he wrote gram-gram a mini book.) Raph is the artist again, digital and traditional art. He could totally makes sprites for games to collaborate with Donnie’s coding skills. Mikey is into making music too, mixing preexisting music and playing instruments.
Their gear outfits wouldn’t be worn as often as casual hoodies, trenchcoats, and human clothes. I don’t think ppl in NY would even care and probably think they’re furries 💀
…I think that’s it. Oh and sketches.
thank you for coming to my Ted talk

THE GWEN STACY ART EVER
never realized that Chant II is the soundtrack version meanwhile Chant (reprise) is the production version? i could be wrong with my wording, but i didn’t even realize we hadn’t heard Persephone’s “When i was a young girl…” line.
i think that’s a shame because that whole moment adds so much to the woman’s side of both these relationships, now it seems like the parallels stop at Orpheus and Hades but don’t continue with Eurydice and Persephone. it would’ve added that perfect cherry on top to the whole story tbh plus it gives persephone a perspective/backstory (which we technically do not have that information now if you’ve only seen the production, think of deleted scenes versus official movie, it’s not technically known info if it’s from an outside source that ISNT the final cut :/)
just got back from seeing Hadestown again and can confirm Jordan Fisher is the best Orpheus and it's not even close
just saw jordan fisher on hadestown for my bday im going mental and need to make art of it

Critter of Today is Joker Moth (Feralia jocosa)

glimpse into my beautiful imaginary world where arthropods are really big and we domesticated them
edit: people are starting to say some "my worst nightmare" or "eeeww no that one is yucky and scary" comments on this like they do on any bug post and id like to say. it's fine if you don't like bugs it's fine if you're scared of bugs but don't put that on MY post clearly talking about how much i like them and how cute i think they are. you can make your own damn post about how much you hate wasps or spiders or whatever. i'm blocking people who make these kinds of comments.
oh to have a giant jumping spider pup
still scared of all bees but i think if every wasp had a bow i might be more inclined
Ummm making bad art on purpose uuuhhhhhmmm
