My contribution
I haven't finished tmnt 2003
time to bring this video back to, once again, summarize my emotions at this moment
@korino21 and I had a conversation about taste
Looking forward to another year of artfight!
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

Image 2 shows a drawing of an ovaline black turtle shell with yellow spots scattered all over,, with the outer rim segmented with lines around the circumference. Text underneath reads “^Shell”.To the right of it is a drawing of a metallic Bo staff that is segmented into 3 distinct parts. Deep purple metal making up both ends of the staff, light gray metal making up the middle of the staff and dark gray metal making up the very center. Right now the staff is fully extended but it can be shortened, leaving it either just Light and dark gray metal, or just dark gray metal depending on the setting.Text underneath reads “^Staff.”

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!

As of now, TMNT:Unity now has it's own dedicated sideblog at @tmntunity
For the sake of efficiency all future updates and announcements will be made there, as well any asks regarding the project. Thank you all for your support! Will hopefully have more to share in the future
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!
