Had an urge to draw Leon posing with his Odachi. It was very satisfying, would recommend.
Also experimented with a set of ohuhu markers I got as a gift recently. They’re pretty nice.
Thinking about the early 2000s. Pictures taken with a film camera. Waiting hours for something to download from the internet. Crowding around the bulky family computer to play with your sibling or friends.
When are you going to teach me something, I don’t already know?
#tmnt#tmnt 2003#leonardo#master splinter#leonardo tmnt#splinter tmnt#tmnt fanart#aka lines that never fail to give me chills and kinda make me tear up lol#the built up is so intense#the way Leo slams the sword out of splinter's hand#so he can then strike his father down verbally and physically#it's the most disrespectful things he's ever done and just oof
I absolutely love the 2003 turtle designs, they’re so sturdy and shaped <3 But I do think their lack of individuality is bit of a downside that later iterations have handled better. So for the past few months I’ve been working on and slowly figuring out my own take of their designs. It’s not a I fixed and made it better and more of a my headcanon for their bodytypes/ how I like to draw them /just having fun with character designs type of thing.
Down below I’ll go at lenght into my design process and include individual character notes plus sketches.
