Teenage mutant ninja turtles! One of the things a grew up with,

I tried mixing the 2012 and 2018 looks together I think it came out really nice! (Even if it doesn’t look as intended with the mix)

I know the 2018 series can get a little controversial at times but I like the designs, their all different types of turtles which is pretty neat And fun! And they still have those fun and exaggerated expressions that I love and even try to incorporate in my own art, theres also thier accessories and markings that they have which is what I used in an attempt at mixing them, (along with the other types but that doesn’t show to well) I tried to make Raph look bigger but it didn’t work to well due to angles, I also ment to give Donnie glasses but I forgot,

Up close

+ random parts of the process

I’ve never drawn the turtles until I did this so it was certainly new and for something new it came out quite well! Even if they don’t look as much like their 2018 counter parts as I’d like them to

I also drew this with the new brush and it was wonderful!~

Sat April 19th, by the way the drawing labeled April 18th and 19th were basically all done in one night, thought it was fun to shear that

no sorry i dont really use instagram, i can contact you via ouija board, spirit box, fluctuations in temperature, flickering lights, and certain rituals. i am also on tumblr.

little sketch im bored i dunno

i want to see tails talk to more people his age. surely it can NOT be fun hanging out with teenagers all the time as an 8 year old

Me conning my little sister into eating healthy stuff via Transformers (the applesauce packets have Optimus Prime and Bumblebee on them), doesn't have the exact vibe as me finally getting her to understand football by explaining it using Spider-Man but...they're definitely similar and I'm starting to see a pattern.

He's trying so hard 😭😭

Vector: So WHY exactly did you think using a blowdart in a party game was a good idea???

Espio: Is that not normal?

Vector: NO?????? Why would it be????

Espio: That's how we played back in ninja training.

Vector: H U H ?

Espio: Last one standing wins.

Vector: ....How many times have you been hit with a blowdart?

Espio: Enough that they stopped working on me. Wanna see?

Vector: NO-

2012 & 2018 Michelangelo (thats I hard name to spell good lord. . .) my own turtle design! (Kinda)

The Mikey mix~

another run down, but this time it’s different!

In the 2018 series the boys are all different types of turtles, Leo is a Red-eard Slider, Raph is a Alligator-Snapping turtle, Donnie is a Soft shell turtle (shudders) and Mikey is a simple box turtle, in the 2012 series Donnie says that he suspects their Common-Box turtles and/or Dimond-Back Terrapins.

So they’re all different turtle Mixes, Mikey’s pretty normal compared to his brothers (well thats not something you hear every day. . .) because of this I decided to add the Yellow-Bellied slider given that the 2012 Mikey is a much lighter color compared to his brothers which is neat, so he’s Dimond back terrapin/Box-Turtle & Yellow-belly slider

his Yellow-Slider is most visible on his shell/plastron and in his light skin tone

I gave His plastron a yellow tint to show it. the mixed shell pattern is supposed to be the Dimond-Back terrapin and Box-Turtle

other then that there's really not much to say for him regarding turtle mixes, so I’ll just talk about the other details on him!

Mikey’s covered in paint, a detail that two people I showed this to seemed to love and I do to! I figured Mikey would have fun painting his shell and I even added (or wanted to add) the little detail that he paints a lightning bolt on his plastron to match Raph, (which I added in an additional thing)

But it was also a little difficult. I’m mostly using the 2012 color palette, so when I use the paint colors from 2018 I had to make sure colors didn’t clash to much which is way I didn’t add more colors because they just didn’t work (I had that same problem with Raph and his mask&/red-ear-marks) + I’m not the most creative when it comes to sparatic details, tho I do think it’s works and looks quite nice! he also has paint on his equipment, which Splinter probably got mad about it on his nunchucks.

when adding on his specks/freckles I had a moment thinking is this to much? But then I got reassurance from someone that they liked it so, I do think his cheek freckles get lost but he makes up for it!

I’d also just like to point out that I hadn’t drawn Mikey before this, seriously the only I did of Mikey before this was the first turtles thing a draw a bit back it was a little odd but not as bad as the story I have for Donnie. . .thats for another time tho. . . . I didn’t really have much problem with Mikey, the only thing close to it would be the feet and nunchucks which I wasn’t originally gonna add but put in anyway because it looked weird without them (I had to do the same with Donnie’s staff)

Also I just wanna say. The reason this took so long was because I just hadn’t got around to writing the actual post sorry! . also I have the base line of Donnie and have had it for a bit I just need to finish him which shouldn’t take long it’s just if I feel like doing the rest of Donnie I feel so bad about it!

drawn, May 3rd

Leo: Raph: Donnie:

Just to make a point, every time I finished a panel of this I would export it as a PNG on the perceptual setting and use it as a color reference for the next panel

IT'S BAD

PLEASE CHECK YOUR COLOR SETTINGS

EDIT: If you're still having problems, it might help to switch from "Save/Save as" to "Export (as a) Single Layer". Just. Make SURE the box labeled "Expression Color" is set to RGB. I've been messing with this all day, and it looks like this combination of settings will allow exported PNGs to maintain their colors perfectly. To you. So far both Discord and Toyhouse still only display desaturated images and I cannot for the life of me figure out why
