WOW That's great, wonderful Jade !!! I don't know if this post is considered for you as a small interview or as a behind the scenes presentation of Once Human Au ... but I must say that the way you wrote the "story" of the project and these details about the characters, made your new project even more interesting. I feel like I am waiting for the new season of a series that you gladly watch with PASSION !!!!!! I CAN'T LOOK AT THE TIME YOU ARE FANTASTIC !!!!!!! <3 <3 <3

For your upcoming Once Human au, what was your process for designing each of the turtles, like choosing their species, their weapons, and their ages? Your au looks really interesting and unlike most fan reinterpretations of the tmnt I've seen and I can't wait to know more about it!

Ooooh, this is such a good question! To be honest, the design process was really difficult for me at first!

I had very fleshed out ideas for their personalities, dynamics, development, and especially, backstory! But I had very little in mind for what they looked like, haha!

So in designing the turtles, I tried to pick weapons, species, and looks while keeping their backstories in mind, but still put a focus on who they are now.

For weapons, I thought a lot about fight styles, looked up a bunch of Japanese weapons, and videos demonstrating their uses, trying to picture each of the characters using them, and picking the ones that I thought fit best.

Picking species was a bit harder because I wanted to keep in mind a few things:

The species’ function/abilities - for example picking a loggerhead turtle for Raph since they have the toughest turtle shells, and I thought that made sense for the team tank

The color scheme - for example picking a black pond turtle to give Donnie a space-and-stars look to fit with their sci-fi theme

Endangered species - all of the turtles and Splinter are endangered species. This didn’t really have a lot to do with their personality or anything, but I like including a bit of environmental awareness in my art and stories if/when I can

For their ages, I kind of just went with my gut and picked what I thought would create interesting character dynamics. Leo is often the oldest brother, so I was curious to see what he’d be like as the youngest. I made Raph and Donnie the same age because there are so few instances of the two of them having lots of interactions in the canon. I want to change that for this iteration, and making them the same age seemed like a good way to do that. Mikey is the middle child to further push the idea that he is the balance of the team.

Oh, and one more character design note - I took a page out of Rise of the TMNT’s book and thought about shape language. I wanted their general body type and shapes to reflect their personalities. So Mikey is all round and friendly, Leo’s plastron and armor is sharp and angular, Donnie’s design contains stiff and blocky shapes, and Raph is large and smooth with his plastron and shell looking like a shield.

Thank you so much for the interest and the kind words! I’m excited to share more and to eventually bring this iteration to life!

WOW INTERESTING AND WONDERFUL I will be waiting with eagerness and enthusiasm and thank you very much, sometimes I am unsure about my writing in English. <3

When you post the next page of "The Brains and The Brawn", I want to see it and know about the next comic you told me about, that Mikey will be more or less at the center of the story? PS. Did I write well this time? can you read my messages? I ask because I'm not as good as you eh eh eh ...

Ah, yes! The Mikey-centric comic I have planned for after BnB will be called “Family Portrait”.  I can’t tell too much about it, because spoilers. But the premise is basically this:

When Mikey creates a portrait of his brothers using mystic paint, strange things begin to happen in the lair, and an odd affliction starts affecting his brothers...

My main goal for this comic is to analyze Mikey as a character and challenge his ideas of positivity and emotions. And also because I want Mikey to have the spotlight for a change

(PS. Your English is fine and I’ve always been able to understand you! You’re good!)

PLEASE!!!!!!!! <3 <3 <3

This one is pretty late cause I was quite sick this week :’)

But here’s this weeks #saverottmnt schedule (Mar 3-7) RotTMNT Fam! Kendra themed for this week!

Each weeks schedule is organized by @holymangos on twitter so please follow her for more info and updates and give her a huge thanks for all her hard work! And make sure to follow @saveriseofthetmnt​​​ on Tumblr as well! :D

Also come join us on the #saverottmnt discord if you wanna help organize each weeks schedules! :)

❤️🥰😍😘 AWWW I am so happy when you reply to my comments!!!

RotTMNT x Wakfu AWESOME🤩 LOVE that series😍 !!! Would you like to do a fanfiction or a comic about this project? Or is it just a hobby sketch? Because it's BEAUTIFUL as you designed it!

Aww thank you so much! I’m so glad you like the idea! I don’t have any fanfiction or comics planned for it at all. It was mostly just a fun design challenge that I wanted to do.

But if you or anyone else wants to use the designs or ideas for your own art/writing, I’d be happy to let you do that as long as you mention me or link it back to me (mostly because I’d love to see what anyone else does with them).

Maybe if I get inspired again, I’ll do something, but for now it was a fun idea to bring to life. I’m really happy for the positive reactions to it overall!

Hi Jade I have a question about this post...but the images of this post is the next page of The Brains and The Brawn that is page 17?

I mean a trailer of the comic?

Here’s a sneak peek for my entry in the @mad-dogz-zine. As one would expect my entry is a comic. It is titled “Collapse”

You can order a print of the zine over here!

A free PDF will also be available on September 20th on the website so stay tuned!

All right. So some of the Rise writers came forwards with information on Rise. 

They planned three seasons of build up for that finale. 

Normally you get 11-12 weeks for one script. They were told to cut 13 and write four finale episodes with 6 weeks on the clock. 

We would have gotten some episodes like:

-Donnie tries to grow a giant pumpkin.

-Ghostbear has a wedding to a new yokai. Raph and Mikey crash it.

-Giant robot dinos that Mikey thinks are cute appear (”boopable snoots” is used).

-Mikey is left the oldest brother when the other three get turned into toddlers.

-The Foot Clan runs a cupcake store.

-Karai remains as some of the main cast for a GOOD while. 

And more. You can check Russ Carney’s Twitter for the actual tweets.

If you want to see these. If you liked the show. Please support Rise. Send requests to Netflix for it, search for it in Netflix to ding their system, use Twitter and all of the support Rise hashtags. Tomorrow at 6 pm est I believe we are going to try and get Rise trending.

Be polite to Nick, email them (feedback@nick.com), but we can’t let them ignore this fandom until we fade away. 

That team was incredible. Don’t let it end here. 

Nick told the crew the show was on “pause.” The initial vibe was “wait-and-see-after-the-movie.” That’s not a no. Glitch Techs did this move. Invader Zim did this move.

Let’s make Rise another success story.
