tmnt asks 11

What is one head canon you believe so strongly, you sometimes forget it's technically not canon?

Hmmm, maybe that Leosagi is canon? Or that the Dark Turtles were adopted by Cody after Fast Forward ended? Either one has crypted into my brain as canon despite them not being true. And for that I say...

I blame fanart and AUs!

4 and 6 for the ask game?

4. Favorite non-turtle character?

So technically, I did answer this one before. But that was with recurring TMNT characters, so I'm just just going to list my other favorite non Turtle characters( that aren't villains)

2003 and ROTTMNT Master Splinter

April O'Neil from pretty much any TMNT series( 2012 is my least favorite version, and 2003/ROTTMNT are my favorite versions)

Casey Jones, again, pretty much any incarnation.

Todd from Rise of the TMNT.

Baron Draxum from Rise( I know he started out as a villain, but he got redeemed, so he counts.

2003 Usagi.

2003 Karai( Again, she started out as a villain, but then got redeemed)

2003 Renet

And Serling from Fast Forward( Mainly in Fast Forward, Back to the Sewer took him away from Cody for no reason, and it's one of the few Back to the Sewer flaws)

6. An unpopular opinion of yours?

Fast Forward did not kill the 2003 TMNT series. It was clear that 4Kids were the ones that made the writers tone down the series in Season 6 because it was getting quote on quote " Too violent for kids." I am really tired of people saying the only reason they don't like Fast Forward is because it ruined the series, when it's clear that the writers were trying to make the Season as beloved as the others with the limitations 4Kids had insisted they follow, it had a interesting concept, interesting new characters and they did try to include the darker elements the previous seasons had. Plus, it should have definitely gotten that second season to finish up the storylines they've been building up

So this statue of Bishop is actually not as random as people would think it is, and that is because it has a real-life inspiration.

It's actually based on the real-life Prometheus statue that's placed in New York's Rockefeller Center.

In fact, I'm pretty sure the entire fight with Mikey, Turtle Titan II, and Triple Threat takes place in Rockefeller Center because that same Prometheus statue is located right next to an ice rink. Which according to the internet, it is a pretty famous spot, especially around Christmas.

Though it's clear to me that the layout has been changed by 2105 in Fast Forward.

But if you ask me, the original layout to me is better because it definitely looks way more interesting with the fountain and the store windows. I'm actually curious if the people in 2105 still put up the annual Rockefeller Christmas Tree in the winter as it does make the whole area feel more magical, ya know.

Plus, who approved of Bishop's statue floating in the middle of the Zero-Grav Rink with an On/Off Zero Gravity Generator?! That is a serious safety hazard if the Zero Gravity is suddenly turned off when people are in the rink. Mikey and Turtle Titan II even defeated Triple Threat by turning off the gravity and getting them crushed by the statue.

Clearly, the statue was better in its original spot and grounded.

FF, please explain.

So does anyone ever think about "The Darkness Within" from TMNT 2003? Like clearly that Lovecraftian nightmare scorpion/squid monster came from a meteorite from space right?

I just want to know if are there others like it?

I’m just asking out of curiosity. No other reason. *hiding my idea of my Triceraton OC just getting Dead Space’d/Callisto Protocol’d*

#I like the episode #it's definitely a great love letter to H.P. Lovecraft #it also debuted a new alien species that was clearly being built up to return in a future episode #at least that's the impression I got when it possessed that bystander who answered the payphone at the end of the episode #too bad 4Kids didn't let them do another episode with the alien because the show was getting too dark #good thing us artist exist!! #I have ideas for the alien's return in my au #teenage mutant ninja turtles 2003 #tmnt 2003 #tmnt 2k3

Day 25: Turtlesona (ft. My OCs)

Challenge by @tmaynt

Going from upper left corner there is my Isabella, my main mutant leopard gecko girl, the little lizard sister (or lil liz sis thanks to Mikey), to our main four turtle boys. Right hand corner there’s Velia, the mutant Fancy Rat from the same lab as Isa and even helped her escape from the laboratory. She never knew that Isa would ever get picked up by four turtle toddlers and another mutant rat.

Second row and on the left is Mei-Hui, essentially the Mei Pieh Chi/Venus de Milo of my AU. Idk how she got mutated yet but I do know she was raised by monks in the mountains who would teach her their ways and help her connect to her abilities over Chi/Ki energy.

Big Dino man here is Zephaniah, my Triceraton hybrid OC. He’s the son of Zanramon and supposedly the named “Regent” of the Triceratons. He eventually meets Isa during their adventures in Space in season 2 and learns to no longer avoid Zanramon and finally push back against him. Can’t say anymore because his story is still in development. I’ve been playing around with his design a lot. He’s got maybe two more color variations but overall that’s how he looks. Gotta keep dad’s dark red somewhere in there while having some features from Mother’s side.

Way down there is my very first Turtlesona. I know I’ve been a fan of the Turtles for years and I only recently began interacting with the community more (especially through this challenge), but I’ve never really considered a turtlesona until now. It wasn’t the first thought to come to mind.

Unmasked version down below

Here have a Mouser wagging its tail. Because I love you 💕

#this is why my oc Mickito gets a mouser for a pet #because not only is it great for tracking and bringing him things he needs #but it's also good for pets and a supportive hug #even though it's probably uncomfortable to hug a straight on metal robot #tmnt 2k3 #2k3 mousers

Decided to upload the concept sketches for the Dragon Ball ocs I've come up with since getting back into the fandom. Some of them need a few tweaks( the one that's just a head needs a body XD), but I'm happy with what I have so far.

From left to right, we have:

Keylie, a young member of Zarbon's race who prefers to be in her Monster Form at all times. She's currently training to become stronger and hates those who consider beauty as everything.

Rambuta, a young member of Dodoria's race who was previously enslaved since he was an infant, but thankfully was freed by Keylie and now thinks of her as his big sister.

Icreema, a member of the Ginyu Force who usually steps in when one of the Ginyus is out of commission. She has incredible physical strength despite her small and danty size and is Recoome's older step sister.

And finally, Soya, a Cooler's Armored Squadron member who is a Brench/ Boulean hybrid via her mother having an affair with a Boulean. And while her both her fighting prowess and psychic powers are praised, she is considered scary and ugly by both many members of the Cooler/ Frieza Force and her Brench family( except her mother) thanks to her heritage, as well as her cold demeanor both on and off the battlefield.

There are parts of Keylie and Rambuta's story that I want to keep secret for now since I'm still developing it. But I can tell you they are currently being trained by Dodoria and Zarbon, respectively, who were revived after Chronoa discovered a future timeline where they were aiding Keylie and Rambuta, along with some other familiar Frieza Force members, in a huge battle against a very dangerous impotent villain. And while she initially wanted to fix the timeline and deem it an alternation by Mira, she ultimately decided to let it happen and even helps them from time to time.

As for Icreema, I might rethink Icreema a little since I haven't really developed her much than I have with Keylie, Rambuta, and Soya.

And for Soya, I definitely want to make a separate story focusing on her and the Armored Squadron as I've really developed Soya a lot since creating her, and her relationship with the Armored Squadron is definitely better than her relationship with her family. As well as having one of the Squadron members as her love interest.

I do have ideas for more DBZ OCs, but since they aren't drawn yet/ in development, you guys will have to wait a bit longer. Unless you guys decide to barrage me with questions.

Hopefully, I will get these guys into ClipStudio Paint ASAP since they desperately need colors. I know what colors to give Keylie and Icreema, but Rambuta and Soya are going to be hard.

But hopefully, I'll get it all done before the year ends, along with all the other OCs from the other fandoms.

Ehhh.... Hopefully... 😅

hot artists don't gatekeep

I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard

Floorplanner. Design and furnish a house for you to use for having a consistent background in your comic or anything! Free, you need an account, easy to use, and you can save multiple houses.

Comparing Heights. Input the heights of characters to see what the different is between them. Great for keeping consistency. Free.

Magma. Draw online with friends in real time. Great for practice or hanging out. Free, paid plan available, account preferred.

Smithsonian Open Access. Loads of free images. Free.

SketchDaily. Lots of pose references, massive library, is set on a timer so you can practice quick figure drawing. Free.

SculptGL. A sculpting tool which I am yet to master, but you should be able to make whatever 3d object you like with it. free.

Pexels. Free stock images. And the search engine is actually pretty good at pulling up what you want.

Figurosity. Great pose references, diverse body types, lots of "how to draw" videos directly on the site, the models are 3d and you can rotate the angle, but you can't make custom poses or edit body proportions. Free, account option, paid plans available.

Line of Action. More drawing references, this one also has a focus on expressions, hands/feet, animals, landscapes. Free.

Animal Photo. You pose a 3d skull model and select an animal species, and they give you a bunch of photo references for that animal at that angle. Super handy. Free.

Height Weight Chart. You ever see an OC listed as having a certain weight but then they look Wildly different than the number suggests? Well here's a site to avoid that! It shows real people at different weights and heights to give you a better idea of what these abstract numbers all look like. Free to use.

Made Rambuta and Keylie in Xenoverse 2 for Switch, mainly because I wanted to plan out the colors for their full bio artwork, and I might as well see what changes the game makes when you choose a different race.( My main is human)

Rambuta is a Namekian, and Keylie is a Sayian, and can I just say that I love that the game gives you the option to make your custom character outrageous colors that the species clearly should not have. It definitely makes the game more fun when you can go all out with the colors.

Rambuta being a Namekian in the game was actually not planned as I initially wanted to use the Majin race since it does resemble Dodoria's race more( Dodoria even mentions in Xenoverse 2 that the the 2 look a lot a like if your character is a Majin) but sadly it didn't have the option for head spikes. I was going to just give up and move on to possibly creating Keylie into Xenoverse 2 until I stopped and started pondering if the Namekian race would have spikes for their customization. And when I went to the head option, BINGO! Head Spikes!!! Rambuta would be in Xenoverse 2 after all!!!!( Yes, I know I could have looked up if the Namekian customization hade spikes, but I wasn't thinking about that, I just wanted my Spiky Fruit Baby to be in Xenoverse!!) I'm actually glad that my items from my first character transfer over to the next because that means I get Zarbon's Circlet onto Rambuta ASAP( Kinda wish they included his earrings, too, but what can you do)

As for Keylie, since I couldn't replicate her Beast Form into Xenoverse, I'll just have to use her Elegant Form( Sucks for Keylie since she hates her Elegant Form, but at least she gets all kinds of cool Super Sayian forms!) And while I do wish their was a buzzcut hairstyle since that's Keylie's main hairstyle, the one I ultimately used does fit her pretty well. I also immediately changed her outfit because the default Sayian outfit had those short undies that some of the Frieza Force soldiers wear, and Keylie actually doesn't like wearing revealing clothes, so for now, The Latest Fashion is her go to bottoms, along with a TP Logo suit.

Now, as for the colors!

.

.

.

Yeah... their colors are pretty colors to Zarbon and Dodoria, something I was trying to avoid. But since we haven't really seen other members of their races aside from Yuzun from Super, I guess we can call this an exception... maybe...

I really want to take pictures of them with Dodoria and Zarbon for both comparisons and because it'll be fun to have them take pictures with their teachers. I do have to beat the Namek arc in order to unlock them( twice, in fact), but it'll be worth it.

My own Version? Hmm... I've actually never thought of creating my own version of DBZ.

I'd probably keep King Cold as close to canon as possible, maybe have him still conquer planets as a sort of " Hobby" once he retires.
