Silly Turtles - Blog Posts

School doodles cause I can’t redraw them now but they actually look kinda fire

A while back I made this drawing for @truths33k3r4 Tmnttember and I redrew it digitally

Tada?

It’s the mutant mayhem bros turtle pile! (Plus my designs for the sheshells)

I’ve actually been working on this for two months and now art will probably be a little more easy to pop out. Hope y’all like it!

Pfft lol

The main difference between Tales/Mayhem and the rest of the iterations, is that in each iteration there’s one or two turtles who are autistic. In Tales/Mayhem they’re all autistic.

“No one gets left behind” mentality.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY YALL!! I PROVIDE THEE MUTANT MAYHEM SHIP SKETCHES THAT LOOK LIKE SHIT!

The Aprilnardo drawing is inspired by @guide_to_the_galaxy‘s fic we should stick together. The other two drawings are Rasey(love that quote) and the very rare Verai(Venus x Karai: both my designs for them).

If I ever made an au with all my mm character designs and takes it would basically be the mm au where half the characters are y2k girlies

Its literally them after the big fight with bishop

Gonna open raph out of his cage, but, THE BROS!!! 😼😼😼

I got them today…

Tottmnt/TMNT MM Hidden City Family Crew Reference Sheet Part 1

Venus de Milo<<<<Karai<<<Jennika<< Joana Jones<>Hidden City Crew Part 2 >>Created in Darkness

This piece on its own was taking months because of school and stuff so I said screw it this is coming in two parts.

Here you have Big Mama’s heads in her Triad like business operating the Nexus and Nexus Hotel(more on that when I post her design). This includes:

Bludgeon;

Age:32 years?? Pronouns: He/Him Current Occupation: Advisor and Co-Operator of Nexus Past Occupation: Nexus Fighter(10 years running) Relation to Mén dì: Medical Caretaker of Lotus and Mei

Was only Lotus’s caretaker after the Dàhuǒ but took Mei under his wing

Trying to redeem himself from his years at the battle nexus

Great sorcerer in terms of medical care but does know a few other spells

Hidden-City born yokai

Mei calls him her and Lotus’s cousin

Has been creating back doors and loopholes for Lotus and Mei to have privacy from Big Mama

Despite the environment, very charismatic and wise(trying to bring childlike humor to the table)

Lotus Blossom;

Age:18 years 4 months Pronouns: They/them. Occupation: Nexus Fighter(4 years running) and child star Relation to Mén dì: Child of Big Mama and sibling to Mei

Socially awkward around their family

Very protective over Mei(claiming she is still a child and naive)

Doesn’t fight as often anymore (trying to climb up behind Big Mamas back)

Knows many spells very well but doesn’t have much natural born mystic ability

Hidden-city born halfbreed (jorogumo/???)

Uses stilletes as weapons for desperate measures(two are in their hair)

Skilled swordsman

Mei Pieh Chi;

Age:15 years. Pronouns: She/Her. Occupation: Child star Relation to Mén dì: Adopted child of Big Mama and sister to Lotus

Mei’s braid in the back is tied of with her yin yang pendant(works as cloaking brooch)

(When her cloaking brooch is off Big Mama makes her train or fight for the Battle Nexus(2 years running))

Bludgeon trained her in meditation but someone else trains her in Nexus fighting(a lethal gladiator like offense)

In-between born ???

Known as Big Mama’s pet by higher class Hidden City yokai

Ignored unless needed

Ah if only I could tell them how Big Mama’s mind works and put an end to their suffering. But alas that is all for now. Stay tuned for Big Mama and the random ass man she killed whose death will eventually be avenged.

Mutant Christmas; Decorations

The bb mutant mayhem b team twins being little boopables

Dialogue if ya couldn’t read it;

Donnie: It happen’d again . . .

Mikey; Hi Papa!

This is from the mutant Christmas art challenge

The B in B-Team stands for ✨bachelors✨.

What are some of your favorite character relationships/dynamics in TMNT, and why? Is there anything that you particularly like seeing explored with them in fan works (art, writing, comics, etc)?

Hi! Some of my favorite dynamics has got to be the B-Team/Pb&J duo any iteration , whatever Leo and Mikey’s dynamic name is(again any iteration), and what I’ve seen so far of Jennika and Lita’s relationship in the IDW comics.

Despite those being my favorites I wish could have something, be it a fandom idea or actual iteration, that gives Karai an actual dynamic past antagonist vs hero and her and Shredders relationship. As much as I love her story(especially her and Shredders relationship), I wish we could have something where she is actually more than dark cold serious teen badass ninja. Kind like what Mutant Mayhem and Tottmnt did, I want to see the actual teenage side of her and have her get a friendship without it being a damn damsel in distress🙄. If you’ve read my fanfic Difference Between the Appearance you probably saw me trying explore that.

Thanks so much for the ask! Happy Halloween!🎃👻🐍

(Ps: yes I know not all versions of Karai are teenagers but in my opinion I prefer for the turtles allies to be their age(still love you 2003))

this may be too much to ask but do you have a tut on how to draw turtles in the mm style?? (or just at all my ass is suffering. i need to draw tmnt but my brain doesnt know how :c)

Sure ! I’ll try my best to explain (I made one after the first tottmnt trailer came out it’s outdated so I’m remaking it)

If you’re talking abt mm movie style , I don’t think I’m skillful on them enough to make an art tutorial 😭💔they’re hard for me to draw too

Info on keep reading :D !!

- I take hundreds of screenshots + download promo art and a create collage of it , use it as a ref sheet. I study on the shapes , proportions , and style of each character.

- Then I pick an image from the pile to see if it’s a good pose (if not, I find poses from other resources to draw) or expression I want to use as reference for my drawing

- then I start sketching , adding the sharp details . Clean up on lineart and color later

Other Notes :

- Tales of the TMNT artstyle uses sharp sketchy lines to give it that sketchbook artstyle

- In some frames from the show, Their eyes are pentagon shaped & pupils are not fully colored in. Mask tails have different styles too

- Each turtle not only have different headshapes , they have different plastron shapes too (these are fugly examples I accidentally deleted the OG layer of this and had to redo it LMAO)

- Looking at Tales crew art also rlly helps! (There’s a lot of them on the #/talesofthetmnt tag on insta & twitter)

the Tales of the TMNT artstyle is easy to nail imo , it’s like more of a simpler version of the rise of the TMNT artstyle if that make sense ?? That’s how I personally feel lololol

If you never drawn TMNT before , just go slow on your art process , look at references, & take your time . Draw the characters in your own style first if you want :] just to feel more comfortable and less stress trying to replicate the iteration’s style . overall , have fun <3

I usually suckkk at these art tutorial stuff but hope this helps :D !!

Chapter 9 Part 2

Mikey was too scared to wake up. His head pounded like the Liberty Bell, with a crack just as big. Every part of his body ached. He didn’t want to go through any more of it. He hated the thought of seeing Leo go through it. He hated himself for not having the strength to go through it with him and he-

His hands were at his sides. The chains were gone.

Or at least they felt they were gone.

Oh God did he DIE?!

No. That couldn’t be it. He could still feel the pain of his very battered body. Sadly that was “good” sign that he was alive. He could feel his slow huffs of breathe and . . . a mattress? Blankets?

Where was he? Last he remembered he was talking to . . . Leo? Was he really home?

Man my head hurts.

Why was he thinking so slow? He wasn’t slow. He was the fastest of his brothers. He couldn’t be slow.

But was he home?

It felt like he had to summon every ounce of strength in his body for Mikey to open his eyes. They were all crusty and ached badly. Right. Bruised. Again.

The roof of a pipe was above him. To his left were dozens of wrestling and hockey posters as well as sticky notes (Wait he recognized that handwriting). To his right was . . . Raph?

There, right next to him, with his head buried in arms crossed over the edge of the mattress, was Raph. Mikey was home. The joy flooded through him so quickly he almost felt like crying. Don’t cry! Just say something.

“Ra-ngh.” Shell his head hurt so bad. Merely thinking made him want to puke. So he hissed and clicked in annoyance and pain.

But that was enough to get Raph’s attention. “Mike.” He sounded a little confused as he woke up. But laying his eyes on his awake brother replaced the tiredness with excitement in mere seconds. “Mikey!”

Before Mikey could respond, Raph pulled his little brother into one of his signature hugs. It felt so good. Mikey forgot how good this felt. He wrapped his arms around his older brother and nuzzled his snout as far as it could go into the embrace. He never wanted it to end.

. . . until he did.

Raph rested his head on top Mikey’s and the moment of joy ended. Mikey pulled back harshly as the agony of his injury returned. “Oh shit! Sorry I forgot you’re still healing.” Raph moved his hands to awkwardly pat him on the shoulder.

Mikey let short groan as he gripped the back of his head. A thick cap of bandages were wrapped securely on the back of his skull. As he brought his hands in front of him he sat that they were speckled with bandaids. “Wha happnd.”

Mikey’s slogging brain was starting to make him run short on patience. Man this headache SUCKS.

“Well when we got you back, it got a little . . . chaotic to say the least.” Raph started out slowly, rechecking over the bandages that Mikey know realized were his handy work. “At first Donnie wanted to get you two to the hospital but Leo just started panicking. Going on and on about those assholes finding you again and it not being safe. And it’s so annoying cause-”

“Wait. Us two? Is Leo ok?! Did the-”

“Don’t worry. He’s fine.” Raph repositioned himself so that Mikey could see the oldest in his bed. Sound asleep. Safe. “A little banged up and bruised but fine. He was just being-” Raph stopped and thought for a moment before continuing. “Difficult. About sleeping before you could wake up.”

Mikey immediately understood. Leo’s anxiety was pretty bad sometimes during normal days. After something like this . . . Mikey felt like part of him found even more understanding for that now.

“You know he can’t help it, right?” That was probably pretty stupid. Raph was his twin. Of course he would know. What Mikey meant was to make sure he understood.

There was a moment of silence before Raph responded.

“Yeah. Yeah I know. It’s just-he needed his rest just as much as you did.” Just as he said that Mikey started to sway, barely being caught by Raph. “Scratch that. As much as you do.”

“What! Come on. I just woke up.” Mikey scrunched up his face into a very not fussy frownie face. With his arms crossed over his chest, he firmly leaned further into his older brother. He might be grumpy but his still missed his brothers.

Speaking of he was missing one. “Where’s Donnie?”

Raph seemed to be done with his inspection of Mikey’s bandages. “He’s on the phone with April in the den. They’re trying to figure out more about the-um y’know. The guys who attacked us.”

Mikey’s face melted at the thought of those people. In fact his whole body melted into Raph. His hands moved rhythmaticly up and down his arms over the many bandaids on them. Why did they do all of this? Why did it hurt so bad? Why am I still so scared?

“But they’re gone right?” Mikey could barely make out the sound of his own voice. He felt his throat close.

Suddenly his heart started pounding in his ears. The panic and shock smacked into his body. He could feel himself trembling as he squeezed his arms. His breathing was so quick and short it felt like it wasn’t there.

Air started fleeing from his grasp only to he replaced by a feeling of dread. It felt like the gentlest touch could break that glass cage he was in. Sending the broken shards into him.

“Mikey.”

Mikey yelped at the sudden sound. His body popped into his shell so fast Raph had to catch it before it fell. Keep it together. Stop falling apart. Why am I falling apart? It’s over now. Stop being so stupid.

The flashes of pain from his injuries in the usually secure space did nothing to help his panic. His breath was still way too quick. Everything was scream at him that he had to run. To hide. To-

Mikey felt a soft hand rubbing the top of his shell.

“It’s ok Mike. They’re all gone now. No one’s gonna hurt you.” Raph took a break, stopping his hand to rest on Mikey’s shell. “I’ll never let them do that to you again.”

Mikey popped his head back out of his shell. His other limbs followed in suit as he turned to Raph. “Really?”

Raph’s face morphed into his casual smugness. “Hell yeah. None of us will.”

Much to Mikey’s surprise he started laughing. “Man that was so corny.”

“Not half as corny as Leo though.”

Mikey couldn’t help the giggles that erupted. “No offense but I feel like that’s impossible.”

Raph joined in his laughter before a very groggy groan sounded from the other side of the room. “I have the subtle feeling that I have just been insulted.”

“Leo!”

“Mikey? Oh my god! Mikey!”

Leo seemed to speed across the room like his life depended on it. Mikey almost fell backwards by how hard his big brother slammed into him, wrapping him in a warm embrace. He squeezed back mindful of his injuries and the bruises on Leo’s arms. He felt tears slip from the corners of his eyes, while Leo’s landed on his head. “Thank God you’re ok.” His big brother whispered.

Mikey leaned further into the hug. “You too.” He whispered back.

After a few moments, heavy footsteps could be heard walking in from the den. The curtain opened to reveal a very groggy Donnie. Glasses croaked and coffee(that he probably shouldn’t have been having) in hand. “Guys. Try not to be so loud. We don’t wanna wake up Mi-”

“Hi Dee!” Mikey felt his full smile spread across his face for what felt like the first time in ages. It felt soo good.

The mug fell it the floor with a clunk. And suddenly Donnie was koala bear hugging Mikey. His immediate older brother’s shoulders rose and fell stiffly. Mumbles were muffled in the tight embrace but Mikey understood perfectly. “Missed you too Dee.”

Leo and Raph joined in and Mikey could finally enjoy the moment that he oh so desperately needed. Had it really only been- wait how long had it been? Whatever. He chose to ignore those thoughts and enjoy the moment. Answers would come in a bit.

Happiness like this needed to be cherished now.

After a while Donnie was the one to break the silence with his many many many questions. “How are you feeling? Do you feel warm? Cold maybe? Do you remember what happened? How many fingers am I holding up? When’s our birthday? Are you comfy?”

“Wow. Wait to ruin the moment Dee.” Mikey spoke through the hands smushing his cheeks.

“Sorry! It’s just-”

Mikey gave his brothers shell firm pats. “I know Dee. Don’t worry. I’m ok now.”

He truly was ok now that he was with his family. Well at least some of his family. “Where’s Dad?”

“Oh he went to a few stores with Scumbug.” Leo said rubbing the back of his neck. “They wanted to get you some medicine and stuff. It’s actually kinda good that he’s not here because he’s started acting a little different.”

Raph snorted. “Different is one way to say it.” Donnie broke into held back giggles whilst Mikey was non the wiser to whatever this whole situation was.

“What? What is he doing?”

Donnie took a break from his giggles for a moment. “He’s started speaking in Vermin for Scumbug.”

Mikey thought for a moment. Wait Vermin? As in- OH MI GOSH!

Mikey let out a short burst of laughter. “Whhahut?”

“You heard the turtle.” Raph chimed in wrapping arm around the younger’s shoulders. “Dad’s gone so head over heels for Scumbug that he’s speaking in clicks and squeaks.”

“Hey. I think it’s kind of endearing.” Donnie said.

“Says the guy whose best tutor in dating is Avatar the Last Airbender.”

Mikey laughed at his brothers’ antics as Donnie flicked Raph in the snout. A yawn escaped from the smallest turtle. And of course Leo immediately kicked into big brother mode. “Come on you two knock it off. Mikey needs his rest.”

“What?! I just woke up!”

“Yeah but your body is still healing.”

Raph chimed in. “Look in the mirror, Leo. So are you.”

That shut Leo up pretty quick. Raph was right judging by the bruises that covered the oldest, but they weren’t the only ones in need of some good RnR.

Raph had some pretty ghastly bags under his eyes and Donnie looked he just pulled 3 all-nighters in a row(Mikey should know since he was the only one who found out that he did it before). The youngest pondered on the situation for a moment before finding the perfect solution.

“Turtle pile?”

Leo and Donnie looked up in surprise before turning to their red cross, Raph. The fiery brother thought it over before answering(a rare move for the turtle). “As long as he’s on top and we’re mindful of his head then I’m down.”

“Diddo.” Donnie responded.

Soon enough they were all in their respective spots. Other than Leo and Mikey of course who got the rare luxury of the top. Donnie begrudgingly agreed to do the middle only because he didn’t want bottom, which was always Raph’s spot due to his size anyway. The youngest was safely tucked under Leo’s out stretched arm.

Whoever made this happen, thank you. Thank you so so much.

Tottmnt Venus/Mei Pieh Chi Updated Reference Sheet

Casey Twins<<Lita May<Karai>Jennika >>Joana Jones>>>

Here you guys go!! I know I’ve been changing up my style on how I’m posting these and sorry not sorry but I guess imma do it again.

Role in family: Middle sister, Spiritual guide, Bear-hug giver, Assistant Medic (Raph is the Head Medic cause that’s my headcannon)

Role on team: Specialist(specifically in mystic abilities) or Shaper

Weapon: Tessen(maybe tanto)

Abilities: Mystic Powers,(more specifically Pyrokinesis, Ergokinesis, Photokinesis, A form of astral projection, Life Perception,and Teleportation via Kitsune Mask) and Ninjitsu(via Splinter)

Hobbies: Meditating, Collecting Bugs, listening to Kpop, Hanging with her family and friends, Customizing Accessories and Outfits, Playing with Lita, Light Sketching, Watching Anime with Donnie(specifically Demon Slayer)

Edit:(ps sorrry to all those who had to see what was written before)

I know people have an issue with giving she-shells boobs and I’m sorry if you find it offensive or bad but this my character design. Now after watching Tottmnt I saw that they focused a lot on the different masculine and feminine body traits of the characters. Not in like a sexual way but realistic way. I more or less modeled her plastron after Rottmnt because on of the creators for that is in the show so it made sense in my mind. Sadly as part of her backstory being a celebrity in the Hidden City for Big Mama, Venus also went through the model treatment (hence her being skinnier in the pre arc pic). But luckily once she gets a “normal” life with the brothers she gets much healthier.

(Ps I changed the way I drew her and Jenn’s plastron again anyway so idk)

So yeah that’s Vee comment or ask if you have any questions.

once again like the pathetic piece of crap that I am I need help

spoilers for an upcoming drawing

To be clear this is her ninja fit post 1rst arc

He’s so boopable rn

I feel like there is a section of the Tottmnt/mm fandom that may or may not be confused by why another section(the one that I am in) of it LOVES the idea of having she-shells (aka Venus de Milo, Jennika, Lita May, ect.) in that iteration because of how perfect it will be. So even though no one asked imma explain why I personally think that is.

The entire plot line of the she shells is usually along the lines of girls who lost everything and have no where to go. This is mainly because they are mutants but also because the connections they had before mutant or not had been severed, killed of, or left them in cold blood. And the role of the main four turtles is usually to help them get back on their feet or to add them to their family. Because not only are these characters other turtles which are almost always deemed impossible to exist but they are also left with not much. Unlike the she-shells however the main four have each other creating a sort of “let’s be freaks together” heartwarming story.

In mutant mayhem we see that not only are mutants noticed but also in the beginning discarded and abused by humans. This makes the part of the turtles feeling outcasted even more heartbreaking and important to their story and character. But yet again they have each other. Not only that but also their giant family with their cousins and dad. If humans ever doubted them again they’d have almost a literal mob to help them.

So by adding the she-shells their arc becomes more than just a “let’s be freaks together” narrative but also a “I know how you feel. You are not alone and we will find people who don’t hurt us. Not anymore.”. The main four would not only introduce them to an entire family who has a similar trauma to what they have but also an entire human world to introduce them to now that they are accepted. Like I said on another post the “older” characters would see a reflection of themselves in the newer characters and sort of be the person they didn’t get to have but needed when going through such things.

So there’s what I think the thought process of the general idea is (comment if I’m outrageously wrong or if you had a different idea in your head). Sorry for wasting your time but I have another “small” idea.

yknow this scene in mutant mayhem when April asked Donnie if there are more turtles and he says:

(I know this isn’t the exact frame but I don’t have access right now)

“Nope. Just us.”

I know people probably think this was foreshadowing them finding the other mutants but what if . . .?

so since I’m off my rocker I created the Tottmnt turtles as humans in sims 4 (including all myheadcannon characters(if I can call them that)) and

. . .

the first thing Raph wants to do is read Lita story🥺🥹

What if the “brother” that rottmnt splinter was talking about is trans fem Venus de Milo or Lita?

YAAAASS WE HAVE A NEW SHE-SHELL IN DA HOUSE

Or you know the first new version of a she-shell which we haven’t had in YEARS!!!

so I did some research and judging by her markings she could be an Eastern Box Turtle

Upon further reflection she could just have silly markings for funsies but she’d still be GORGEOUS in my opinion
