I would eat up as much as you’re willing to share about the Rose Twins, honestly. I’ve been a bit obsessed with the Lindworm story since seeing the OSP video on it, and another comic by someone (and I also love that Edel is a girl like the white rose was meant to give the Queen).
Thank you so much! the story is still in the early development stage but i'd be more than happy to share more(And i know what you mean, the OSP video is what inspired me to create the rose twins)
before i go on another tangent. The Rose twins now have Profiles on toyhouse! which goes into detail about their personalities and backstories.
With that out of the way. Lets get into the (disjointed) lore.
in the setting of rose twins every landmass(Island, Continent, islet,etc) has a soul, known as an earth spirit, with the earth spirit of the Island Decerith sits on being called Eversyl.In some cases nations will be named after the Earth spirit of the landmass on which they stand, though not always especially in the cases of nations that span across multiple islands and thus multiple earth spirits. Though normally incorporeal, it is has been said that earth spirits will take form in times of great crisis.
Legend tells of the lost Continent and the mageocracy of Ivapherus that once stood there alongside many other countries. They speak of how the high mage council sought to harness the power of their earth spirit for their own by trapping it, but instead ended up destroying it causing the entire continent to sink into the sea.
Magic in this setting in a volatile force, though anyone has the potential to wield it it is extremely rare to find someone who will take the risk to do so and even rarer to find someone who succeeds. Magic is extremely difficult to control and requires near perfect execution and concentration and failing in either can result in dire consequences, inflicting curses on the caster and often the surrounding area, a wound that never heals.The curse that affects both of the rose twins and their mother was a result of the queen botching up a magic ritual by eating both roses instead of just one,and comparatively to how other curses in the past have gone, they were relatively lucky. People Like Zeris Firamain are known as Mage scholars, they study the history and mechanisms of magic but do not dare attempt actually casting a spell(Considering that wielding magic is the equivalent of wielding a nuclear bomb)
Lindworms are rare creatures, though documentation of their existence is substantial enough that only a few still think of them as being mythical, much about them remains a mystery even to the most learned of scholars.(To the point Edelweiss has never even seen another Lindworm)
The Hardships and Tragedies brought on by the perpetual winter have led to desperate measures being taken by Decerith's citizens in order to survive. This includes some resorting to banditry just to be able to put food on the table and even some who poach rare creatures (Like Lindworms) to sell their sought after parts.
The losses caused by the perpetual winter and the kingdom being ill-prepared to deal with it's sudden appearance have also bred some resentment for the royal family, leading to the formation of groups acting out on this blame, the most notorious and prolific of these being Wulfrost.Wulfrost seeks to assassinate the crown prince in order to deprive the queen and king of their only child, just as so many of them have lost loved ones to the winter(And they very nearly succeeded when Rowan was younger)
That's all i'll be able to share for now without diving into spoiler territory. But hopefully sometime in the future i'll be able to share some writing snippets. Thank you again for the ask anon!
Rose Twins fairy tale? It’s based off the Lindworm myth right? How different is it from the source??
Yes! My rose twins story is loosely based on the Prince Lindworm story. This is going to be a long post so strap yourselves in When I originally came across the Fairytale I found myself interested in the story of the twins born of magic with one cursed to be a Lindworm, and I was disappointed by the fact the second human twin pretty much disappears from the story after the bride plotline begins(Which i found to be less interesting in comparison) So the Rose twins story basically takes the origin story from the fairytale(the Queen of a kingdom meeting a mysterious old woman who tells her to eat one of two roses in order to have a child, but the queen ends up eating both causing the first born child to be born a lindworm) and then makes up a different story with it
As the Name implies the Rose twins story focuses on the bond that forms between the titular characters as they meet for the first time at age 15, having been unaware of the others existence. I also wanted to incorporate the theme I chose to take away from the original Lindworm fairytale, seeing someones layers peeled back, someone at their lowest or most vulnerable, and showing them kindness and understanding.
The older Lindworm twin, Edelweiss, has spent most of her life alone after her original guardian; A mage scholar named Zeris Firamain, mysteriously vanished before she reached double digits.Overtime and fruitless search after fruitless search for somewhere to belong, only to be rejected time and time again, Edel resigned herself to becoming somewhat of a local menace of a town named Vericksvale and scaring off anyone that tries to pass through her cave.Playing tricks on others being the closest she feels she can get to other people with the cards she's been dealt. As a young Lindworm, Edel can summon translucent spectral wings and Shrink in size, becoming as small as a ball python.(She also cries Rose water)
The Younger Human twin, Rowan, has been raised as the crown prince of the kingdom of Decerith and has spent most of his life lonely among other people.When he was younger he survived an assassination attempt that left many others dead, leaving him with Severe survivor's guilt.The Pedestal he has been placed on leaves him feeling that who he really is can never measure up to those expectations and that if people actually got to know him,they would only be disappointed, So he has never let anyone get close enough. Despite what everyone else believes, he might not have been as untouched by the rose curse as it seems, something he has gone to great lengths to hide for as long as he can remember.
Thank you so much for this ask anon! I had a great time answering it
I also may or may not have gone on a brief worldbuilding tangent about Decerith underneath the cut
The story takes place in the island kingdom of Decerith, which for the last twenty years has been stuck in a perpetual winter with no known cause, leaving the kingdom in a dire state(with countless people dying on a large scale in the early days of widespread famine and cold when the kingdom was caught off guard by a winter that didnt end, and more dying in the years that followed) and completely reliant on outside trade to survive. Kept barely afloat by their own export of Elyrium, a rare and valuable metal found only in Decirith used in the construction of many a technological marvel
including the Royal TransHerdaeick Railway, a Freight line that runs across the Herdaeick sea and has served as the only way in and out of Decerith for the last 20 years due to the conditions becoming too dangerous for tradition sea transportation.Only its Small crew are able to leave and Enter Decerith(and the desperate people who give up their lifesavings and risk their lives for a one way ticket out, forced to face the hostile elements in train cars not built for passengers, just for the chance of a better future. Members of the train crew who are found involved in bringing people out of Decerith risk severe consequences)
Due it's importance to Decerith's future and how coveted a position in the crew is, the selection process is known to be very cutthroat, and its candidates are trained in combat due to risk the cargo faces from desperate thieves.The TransHerdaeick Line had been intended to be the First of Many Oceanic Railways when it finished completion, with Passenger cars being in the works when the Perpetual winter dashed all these plans and Left the Freight line as the only one of its kind.
I'll leave it there for now. if any of you are interested in hearing about more aspects of the setting(Lindworms, Magic, Earth spirits and the group known as Wulfrost) Be sure to let me know!
Looking forward to another year of artfight!

A humongous shout out to @jadethest0ne for these absolutely spectacular refs! these characters have been some of my oldest ocs and they look even better than i could have ever imagined. Be sure to check them out!
Some OC drawings I was commissioned to do for an incredibly cool story being created by @lunawoona11 about ghosts, exorcists, and demons! I've been hearing a lot from her about this story and it was an honor to draw the main characters - Clair, Eden, and June (from left to right)! Hope you like them as much as I enjoyed drawing them!
My Commission Sheet
A huge thank you to @jadethest0ne for their excellent work on these refs! they came out perfect!
i may not be able to reveal these characters quite yet, but i have big plans for them and am excited to introduce them to you all in the future!
Another set of characters for @lunawoona11's TMNT Unity incarnation. I had a lot of fun with these characters! And I also did a little logo creation again :3
My Commission Sheet
A huge thanks and shout out to @jadethest0ne for the absolutely amazing work and help with the Logos/Banners for Tmnt:Unity! these all turned out fantastic!
I created a few banners, titles, and logos for @lunawoona11 's original TMNT incarnation, TMNT Unity. It was really fun figuring out a way to incorporate all of the character motifs into the banners! Andro gave me some great direction for what to include!
I'm particularly fond of these title logos I did. I based the lettering on the Japanese art of knot-tying, called Mizuhiki. I thought it worked best with the theme of the word "unity" and fit culturally as well.
Finally, here's the symbol of the Yuu Clan - the family that the Turtles and Splinter belong to. Unlike the Hamato symbol, which was meant to be modeled after a cherry blossom, the Yuu symbol is that of a Japanese camelia. We also wanted 6 petals - one each to symbolize the turtles, Casey, and April, with Splinter at the center. I wanted to keep a similar style to previous incarnations' Hamato symbol, but this time with a different flower, and a different clan in mind
My Commission Sheet
A huge thank you to @jadethest0ne for this absolutely jaw dropping commission of my babies. They did an incredible job! Be sure to check them out.
Did this delightful lyric comic for an original concept by @lunawoona11 called "The Rose Twins". He allowed me to do some artistic experimentation and I'm very happy with how it turned out! I highly recommend checking out the creator's work! She's got some amazing stuff!

Full spread and black and white versions below the cut:
Thank you so much @jadethest0ne for this amazing art! This fills me with such Serotonin!
Pizza and Photography
Been chatting a lot with @lunawoona11 about his own TMNT incarnation - TMNT: Unity. This was based on some of our conversations and a little snippet she wrote involving April and Raphael. I really like Raph’s interest in photography, and thought that he might show April some of his pictures and/or ramble about camera specs or something while they sit on a rooftop eating pizza
Thank you once again to @jadethest0ne for these amazing full body refs! i cannot thank you enough they look amazing
Was commissioned to do some more character outfit variations for @lunawoona11‘s TMNT: Unity! Always a pleasure to work on this series!
My Commission Sheet
Check out @jadethest0ne and their fantastic work!
Was commissioned to do a lyric comic by @lunawoona11 about his version of Splinter in TMNT: Unity! I think this version of Splinter may be one of my fave fan-created incarnations of the character! Go check out her stuff, it’s rad!
It was my first time trying out a lyric comic, but I had fun playing around with the fonts and such :3 The song is Laura Palmer by Bastille
My Commission Sheet
Check out @jadethest0ne and their amazing work!
April - Why do you have such a large door to your lair? I mean I know you’re trying to stay safe. But it’s a little excessive. Donnie (to Casey) - [deep inhale] TELL HER WHY WE HAVE THE DOOR, JONES! ]
With the 12 principles of animation done, I can do whatever I want with my animations woo! Still trying to practice things tho!
Things I learned:
More camera movement techniques (including separating background/foreground layers)
Practicing lip sync
Squash/stretch facial expressions along with lip sync
These are characters from @lunawoona11‘s own TMNT incarnation called “TMNT: Unity”, and this came about after we talked about why the turtles have such high security in their lair (spoiler: it’s cuz Casey Jones went a little too hard core with their sewer system urban exploration)

this question might be spoilery, but, what characters do you hope to import and adapt in this Incarnation? I might be making my own, andddddddd I'm a silly speculator who loves a bunch of characters that are separated by continuity.
I'm glad to hear about your incarnation! i'll try and keep up to date with it Without going into details, we have plans for several characters from across TMNT's lifespan, from the well known to the obscure.(Though sometimes not in the ways or forms you may expect) But I will be revealing a new character soon so stay tuned!
Whats all the brothers relationship like? Whats their dynamic if u know what i mean?
Buckle up cause this one is gonna be long.
Raph and Donnie-The youngest and the oldest. Donnie is acutely aware that Raph can be a walking trouble magnet(when he's not the trouble in question)and tends to try and keep and an eye on him. On the other hand, while Donnie knows he probably shouldn't be impressed by his brother's "I fear no god" attitude, it's hard not to be sometimes. Raph meanwhile appreciates his older brother’s resourceful nature and uncanny ability to get them out of danger. Due to Raph's Insomnia and Donnie’s tendency to stay up late working on projects, Raph tends to hang out in the lab when neither of them can sleep, sometimes they'll chat away the hours, but most nights it's just nice to hang out and do their own separate thing. Both can be stubborn at times, but it doesn’t result in more than the occasional minor squabble for most part. Raph is the one person in the family that actively enjoys Donnie's drum playing as opposed to just politely encouraging it.
Mikey and Leo-The middle children of the family. Leo's tendency to distrust overly nice people clashes with Mikey's dislike of assuming the worst about people, This of course, has led to disagreements on how to resolve situations. Mikey is also a terrible patient as he tries to sneak off because he gets restless easily; which drives Leo up a wall from worry and frustration. Leo will seek Mikey out to bounce ideas off when he's experiencing a writer's block, and they also share similar tastes in food as well as a stage magic phase when they were younger... though it was to varying degrees of success.
Leo and Raph- The red and blue duo. Raph hates taking medicine and will try and prolong the inevitable for as long as he can, despite this Leo considers him the best patient out of his brothers since he’s the one who's most likely to actually rest. Raph continually tries to convince Leo to get out of his April Fool's retirement and form an alliance with him... the day both of them agree will be the most terrifying day for the whole family, Leo is waiting for Raph to show him an idea that will prove he is ready. Raph's roller skates are actually Leo's hand-me-downs; Leo swore off skating after he lost his first baby tooth to it, Raph got the hang of it after losing a couple of his own baby teeth. sometimes, Leo will join Raph on his photography ventures, both to clear his head and spark some ideas, and to have the peace of mind of someone being there with his brother if something bad happens. Despite not being much taller, Raph likes to poke fun at his older brother’s height.
Donnie and Mikey- the purple and orange duo. When Mikey was 9, he asked Donnie if he could make him a ‘'cool robot arm' like those from the movies; the prosthetic he has currently is the 28th model. After Donnie made the first model, Mikey gave him his scarf, the one he still wears, as thanks. That model was unfortunately not waterproof, something Donnie had forgotten to tell Mikey, and it needed to be wrapped in a bag of rice pretty soon after. They like to play 1v1 board games together, mostly connect four, Donnie will drag out his turn as he gets absorbed by strategy, but Mikey always wins with the same strategy. As he believes, "If it isn't broken, don't fix it.". Mikey is very appreciative (and a bit guilty) that Donnie is patient in repairing his arm if he breaks it, but Donnie has never considered it a bother, and never will. They also share similar music tastes.
Raph and Mikey- The youngest brothers. Despite only barely being a year older, Mikey will still try to pull the “older sibling” card to try and impart some wisdom on his younger brother. Since Raph is his only younger brother, Mikey does try to be the cool older sibling…he gets points for trying. What Mikey doesn’t know is that he never needed to prove himself anyways cause Raph already admired him for his emotional intelligence. They have somewhat of a friendly rivalry going on the during training, which can extend to the battlefield by way of making it a competition. When they were younger, the two used to fight a lot, but nowadays the arguments tend to be short lived and they are quick to apologize. Both of them avoid horror films like the plague. Raph can’t understand Mikey’s love of bugs, finding the creatures freaky.
Leo and Donnie-The oldest brothers. Leo is the most successful of all the brothers at getting Donnie to actually go to bed. Leo is acutely aware that Donnie is the smartest person he knows, but that doesn't mean he knows what to do in every situation, so he tries to lend his assistance when he can. Donnie admires (and sometimes envies) Leo's ability to work under pressure. Leo has yet to beat Donnie in a spar, and really admires his skill. They disagree (rather vehemently) on pineapples on Pizza, and probably will for the rest of their lives. Both of them can’t cook to save their lives. When they were younger, they were almost the same height but Donnie shot up while Leo was condemned to the shorter twin existence. they bond over watching "unsolved mystery" shows together and are most comfortable venting to each other. Leo's very willing to listen to Donnie ramble about science though he doesn't always understand. All that aside, Donnie, unfortunately for Leo, is actually the worst at resting when he's sick and it drives Leo mad.
And as a bonus!
Splinter and the turtles-As Splinter was rather young and inexperienced, in the first few months of raising the turtles she was more like a frantic babysitter and less like a parent. Eventually, she found her footing as their mother. She tries to balance guiding her children and giving them their own free choices so that they can learn by making their own mistakes and triumphs. As such, she's always openly supported her boys' passions. If faced by a "greater good or your family" situation, she would choose her family without regret. Despite all this, she's never told her family she was once human, as she believed that children should never carry the responsibilities and burdens of their parents. She also encouraged Ninjutsu as a skill and taught them that there was never any shame in running away from a fight. Despite their contrasting opinions on the Horror genre, Raph will often join her in watching trashy reality tv shows. At Leo’s request, Splinter was the one who taught him first aid, and she grew up listening to the same type of music Leo does. Mikey likes to meditate with her and they sometimes work together on quilts(even when they don’t need one).She sometimes worries about her eldest; that his nonstop mind may serve to hurt him once he finds a puzzle he can’t solve.
This was a very fun ask to answer!
In TMNT: Unity, what are your turtles different fighting styles? Are they more defensive, offensive, melee, ranged, etc? Also, how do they work together in a fight? Do some work better together than others? Or are they all a mess? (and same question for April, Casey, and Splinter if you're feeling up to that)
Now this is a fun question! I’ll try my best to describe the fighting style of our main characters!
Donnie’s fighting style is what I would call versatile, It involves a lot of shifting, twisting and blocking. He can switch between the three Size settings on His Bo[Tanbo, Jo and Bo] on the fly, allowing Him to Switch to whichever best compliments the opponent’s weapon and the circumstances. Sometimes he will switch mid combat to throw the opponent off, doing it only infrequently to prevent the Opponent from adapting
Raph’s fighting style is what I would call Agile. He will try to get in close fast before the opponent has time to react. It involves a lot of catching the weapon on the Kama, tripping the opponent, and using the chain as a chokehold. what it lacks in stealth and offensive power it makes up for in disarming opponents. He has the most range of his siblings
Mikey’s fighting style is what I would call Energetic. He will use evasion to tire out the opponent, blocking when they manage to get in close. He will then try getting in a few good hits, A mix of Striking and kicking before kicking the opponent backwards in order to regain some distance
Leo’s fighting style is what I would call Adaptable. He will often feint with one Kodachi then strike with the other. He will use the opponent’s momentum and strengths against them. He tends to favor his right Kodachi over his left one.
Casey’s fighting style is what i would call unpolished, She often hits hard with the force of raw power but he lacks the finesse of a trained combatant, this often has the side effect of leaving them open for counterattacks. They will tend to use anything she can get his hands on as a weapon.
April’s fighting style is what I would call Evasive. If she can, She will tend to avoid being confronted directly, Either through trying to stay hidden or through the use of smoke bombs for a quick escape. If she is cornered and cannot avoid a direct confrontation, She will try and end the fight quickly by catching them off guard.
Splinter’s fighting style is what I would call defensive. She favors blocking, striking at weak spots in the opponent's stance or armor when the moment is right. She can be seen utilizing her unique physiology to Jump backwards and forwards with ease. Though she may appear to be moving freely to the outside perspective. She is efficient and effective in her movements, preserving her stamina.
Now in terms of who works best together...
Raph and Casey-these two work well together in that they tend to make up for the other’s weaknesses. Casey’s attention drawing fighting style gives Raph the advantage he needs to catch opponents by surprise and He can disarm the targets Casey does not notice, thus both can cover the other’s blind spots.
Donnie and Leo- Both of their fighting styles rely on understanding the opponent. Donnie with the Calculated variations of his staff, and Leo with his on the fly redirection of their strengths. when paired together, this can make them quite a pain for an opponent relying on raw power
Mikey and Raph- Mikey’s method of kicking the opponent backwards, causing them to lose balance makes it easy for Raph to follow it up with their chain. they have a sort of friendly competition on the battlefield and this tends to motivate both of them.
This was super fun to ask. Look forward to more Tmnt unity in the future!
Who’s most attached to Ms. Splinter?
Mikey shares a lot in common with splinter and they both enjoy each others quiet company, meaning that they spend more time with each other. while this does not mean Mikey is the most attached, we are unable to come up with a better answer to this question because we believe that the turtles are equally attached to their mom.
I will now be accepting asks related to TMNT:Unity Note that i will not be able to answer a question if A: It ventures into spoiler territory B: it is wildly inappropriate I Look forward to the future of this project
And finishing up the main cast profiles Is April! Full credit for the full body refs goes to @jadethest0ne! please check them out!

Daww, this is great! thank you so much! I’ve got a few things planned for this incarnation that I look forward to sharing.
It’s been so long since I’ve had the time to draw! Decided to get my creative juices flowing by drawing my favorite tmnt original incarnations!
@72stars‘s TMNT Heart - I love the artist’s style and clothing choices for the turtles! I’m especially fond of Mikey and his shell cozies of varying designs (decided to make a kappa one, myself). Leo and Raph’s relationship is also very heartwarming!
@sassatello‘s Mutant Integration AU - So far the only original tmnt incarnation I’ve seen that has an actual comic underway, which I highly recommend! Gotta love the big bro Mikey and little bro Leo! Donnie and Raph’s relationship in this one really gets me tho!
@lunawoona11‘s Unity - The characters in this version that stand out to me most are actually the supporting cast. What with Splinter being a mutated Tang Shen and April being part of the Foot, I just find them very unique! But I had to draw the bros and their sibling shenanigans!
I absolutely adore all of these and look forward to whatever the creators put out, so if you’re looking for some good content, check them out!
Finishing off the Turtles with Raph!
