GENETICALLY MODIFIED NINJA TEENS (gmnt) Era 1

FIRST POST OF MY AU !

Era 1 because I drew all of these while I was still workshopping the designs for the characters which is why everything is so wildly inconsistent and just Generally very wonky. Thankfully I've narrowed all the designs down by now (still haven't finalized them) so any art I draw in the future should be Much more consistent and to form.

Im not planning on this being a uniform comic/story or anything like that, it's just something that eats at my brain that I will probably be posting abt a Lot after this. Some basic stuff about this au:

- Genetically Modified? : yep! at a very young age they were all genetically modified to be super soldiers by You Can Guess who, with Mikey being the only one fully, artificially made in a lab. That also means he's the one with the most raw power and skill. (This doesn't mean he utilizes it or is even aware of it often)

- How are they related? : They're all splinters kids ! Or at least genetically related to him. They're half siblings subtract Donnie and Leo who are fraternal twins. No one knows who Mikey's other parent is, and frankly they don't really care

- Do they live in the sewers? : No .. they are in hiding though! Once Splinter found out about Mikey and subsequently all the other experiments he snatched up his sons and never looked back. Rather unfortunate considering whose Raph's mom is... (we'll get to that later)

- What's with the turtle necks? : Donnie's idea! They have bulletproof abilities and I'm deciding whether I want it to be a synthetically made fabric of Donnie's design or just silk

- Are they mixed race? : They are mixed race.

current color blocked designs are right here:

I'll probably post a sketch dump and some comics of them at a later date. For now, og screenshots under the cut! :

"dont die" is my favorite thing to tell people when they say theyre gonna go do something. going to the store? dont die. going to the bathroom? don't die. going to Mars? don't die. going to write an email? don't die. driving to the gas station? don't die. it fits every situation except for maybe a funeral visitation because then i think thatd be a little bit rude

turtles incoming

Leo in a robe.

That's all I got, idk why I made this either.
