This Was Made To Help Me Better Visualize 2012 Leo In The Rise Verse While Reading Crossover Fanfics

a bit older of a work but nevertheless,

Gotta indulge with OCs once in awhile! Especially when you world build with friends! ( @sakuracards )

Happy Monday!

TMNTember DAY 21/22: Favorite Alien, Mighty Mutanimals

Was this an excuse to draw my favorite space lizard warrior princess in camaraderie with this chaotic bunch of boys?

Yes.

Was this also an over commitment to draw NINE mutants all crowded into close quarters for a strategy sesh?

Absolutely.

But I wanted to at least make a little messy sketch of these crazy kids all together. This was one of many arcs I wish we would’ve gotten to see more of, I think Mona outside the bounds of dutiful Salamandrian squabbles would’ve been a lot like Cassandra in Rise (who coincidentally shares the same voice actress).

Favorite parts of this: Rockwell tormenting D, Leatherhead making cookies, Mikey and Mondo bonding time, Raph can’t keep his eyes off Mona 😭

“We don’t talk about Pigeon Pete”😇 (i was gonna draw him AND April AND Casey in here too but I’m not an insane person I need to sleep)

I imagine Donnie still shy to hug April even though they're already dating.

A very "innocent" drawing of Raphael and Y’Gythgba with absolutely no sinister intentions behind it.

There is a character I was very curious about when reading the Mirage Comics. And that is Raven Shadowheart a.k.a Radical. In the comic run, she has become an ally and friend to the Turtles. In the future, she was a love interest and soulmate to Leonardo but was unfortunately killed by Complete Carnage. Was there any chance or way that you would have brought her back for IDW or not? I would love to see more of her despite only a few short appearances in the original comics.

I love Radical! I had some ideas for her and she still might show up whenever I come back to TMNT if another writer doesn't get to her first in the meantime. Here's sketches I did of her and Complete Carnage for a mini-series pitch I haven't finished:

TMNT 2012 Relationships: Leonardo and Donatello

You were right, Donnie. I should’ve trusted you. (2x11)

I’m sorry, Leo. You were right. (2x26)
