Heyo! I Have A Question Involving Your DT17 X Big Hero 6 Crossover! Between Dewey And Louie, Who Would

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

Looking forward to this years Artfight!

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!

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!

STAY TUNED, AND STAY WEIRD!

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!

The inbox is now open!

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
