DAY 3: SPACE HEROES

Pigeon sketches! Have I done a page of just (feral pigeons/rock doves) before? I can't remember, but don't think so, somehow. They're so SHAPED

Hey.

Ive had my own iteration for roughly a year or two.

Ive never really posted much about it but I've decided to start, just for fun. So I'll start ranting about it more. I've been re doing these designs ever since I got the idea to make my own version of the tmnt.

The main problem I keep facing in their designs is if I should make them all the same turtle or different ones. I didn't want to make them different at first because it felt like I was copying rise, but I really like being able to give them vastly different and unique designs. But I like the nostalgia of having them all the same cartoon-y unrealistic turtles we know and love.

I decided on different species because well... there's too many gags I've made up in my head to scrap that part of them. Plus it gives me more room to play with the looks of them. I've always wanted them to be based off real turtles. I like bringing in silly little facts about the real species into the design and characters.

I wanted this new iteration to be my own, but I also still want to call back to the past series. I've been low key studying the characters in each of the versions of tmnt that I love.

Nothing is rock solid Canon yet, but I've got some ideas. And I mean a 6 page Google doc.

But I'll rant about the story and the turtles more on a later date.

So um. I'm in a mental hospital so no art for a while I guess??? I'll draw traditional art and take photos of it when I get out okay? Okay!! More tmnt stuff coming when I'm released y'all bet

yeah

i’m capable of making serious art. sometimes.
