Angst sketch of 2012 Mikes and Leon
Christmas Version!
I loved both of your prompts soooo much! But of course time crunch had to choose to do one only. Nevertheless I still had fun. Sorry if the sketch is sloppy but I didn’t want it to look like crap by coloring it wrong or having to turn it in late or half done. I loved this prompt of 2012 Mikey angst because he deserved more attention in that subject.
I also thought Leo and Mikey’s relationship was fun so I went down the angst category they both fit into; their dad splinter. While splinter is a father figure to all of the turtles in this version (and every version), I feel like these two initiate warm interactions with him more than Donnie and Ralph(Mikey barely edging Donnie). Mikey calling out to Splinter as his papa will probably forever scar my outlook on his character. So who better to comfort him when he misses him than his eldest brother with a similar trauma.
Hope you like this and Merry Christmas!
