Rise movie got us all crying
Yep i'm waking up on tumblr for this
Oh my god, the boys. They’re all here and I can finally relax (hahaha. never. onto the next headache)
Ify previous post didn't make it clean, I am in Hawaii and away from everything but my sketchbook and notebook. But that don't mean the teetle train ever stops in this funky brain o mine.
Doodle dump
I have more but I'm still figuring out Tumblr
❤💜💙🧡
my drawing program was acting up today so I had to go back to my sketchbook for these. More winged turtles because it's adorable as all hell and between Leo and Donnie IDK who's more fun to draw this way. Based on @mobiitez art ❤💙💜🧡
@mobiitez I literally cannot get winged turtles out of my head and did a few sketches to beat back the brainrot. Hope it's OK, I LOVE your work btw!
Finished version: human!Raph
Raphael "Raph" Hamato. 16. Japanese/Black American. We stan a big guy with delicate features in this house. I'm high-key obsessed with his hair, so I kind of killed myself getting it to look right and I'm so happy with how it turned out.
Sometime my job requires me to spend 3 hrs a day on a train and for SOME REASON I get really doodley and inspired on it. Here are some ROTTMNT doodles I did today as well as some I did just recently that I haven't posted. You may be able to tell when my pencil ran out of lead and I started with my pens lol.
I started drawing Human!Donnie and pretty soon I was just sketching Human!Rise boys in some of my favorite moments.
Aka my beautiful boys being themselves.
no one here to talk about how raph’s sense of self-preservation vs self-sacrifice is directly tied to how it affects the safety of his family and i resent that
leo gets dropped off a building, raph all but throws himself after him to catch him, no real plan, just desperation. shadow of evil, he sees they’re way outnumbered, he literally picks his entire family up and runs.
battle nexus new york he posts himself over donnie as a personal shield against shredder
shreddy or not, not only is he the second mvp of the initial brawling (gram gram is of course biggest mvp) putting it all on the line THROWING HIMSELF at shredder, saving bacon left and right with like zero regard for his own safety. he then has to buckle down and make the choice to get his brothers to safety TWICE while leaving people behind in the span of a couple of minutes, and he looks so absolutely torn up about it
in the movie, he’s the one who sees them getting their butts handed to them in the first kraang showdown and calls for the retreat/escape pods! and then he puts himself on the line saving leo’s life, getting hurt in the process, then getting leo out safely and being captured in the process.
and i think it’s so interesting that like. when he knows his family made it home safe in one piece, when he’s alone in enemy hands and sister kraang is straight up like “let’s kill him already he won’t tell you anything,” raph is just like. “yeah, she’s right.” no trying to stall for time or argue back.
like his sense of self-preservation and i think overall worth really is SO so directly tied to his family’s safety. which makes it hurt even harder to see his mind and autonomy get violated and used to hurt them imo
“i’m the biggest, i gotta keep em safe” “you’re only 17”
yea idk future leo meeting post movie raph and truly realizing how young he really is to have done so much and realizing how brave his own raph must’ve been
the projection raph on its own bc i like it
also tcest dni this is purely familial
baby learning object permanence
thank you to @stormanbates for the prompt!!
I noticed some parallels, and decided to spend hours and way more effort than necessary turning them into a drawing! Because of course I did
