Introducing: Tyrian and Astros

"The gate slid open with a screech. Leo and Donnie exchanged one more reassuring look before striding into the arena. The air exploded with noise. Though it was hard to see individuals in the crowd, Leo could tell that nearly every single seat was filled. And every single one of them was cheering. Leo couldn’t help but grin. 

Was he being forced to fight? Yes. Was he also a sucker for attention? Also yes. Maybe this wouldn’t be so terrible after all."

-Spider's Web With Strings Attached, Chapter 4

Oh, Leo, you sweet summer child you. The poor thing had now idea of the horrors that awaited him and his brother. And neither did I, when I first started this.

I originally had the idea for this illustration back when chapter 4 first came out. I was inspired by the outfits described and really wanted to draw them. But I was still new to drawing the turtles then, and it just wasn't turning out how I wanted, so I abandoned it for a while.

And then as I was coming up with my own designs for the turtles, I decided to return to this.

I would highly recommend checking out Spider's Web With Strings Attached by @psychologicalwarclaire

If you liked the emotional torment of LFLS, then you'll like this fic. It's incredibly well written and has caused me much pain and suffering. 10/10, would read again.
