happy new year Ego!!! Just wanted to let you know that I absolutely adore your twst fanart and the tags are just an absolute pleasure to read! You are my greatest inspiration for my personal twst art and I just wanted to thank you for your wonderful masterpieces <333 if possible, may I ask what are some of your headcanons for the diasomnia family? If not for diasomnia then any other characters are fine as well!
thank you, and happy new year! 馃挌馃挏馃挌 that is amazing to hear; it's always a little bewildering but super flattering that other people like my silly little doodles so much!
I don't think I really have any really solid headcanons and also canon keeps validating me left and right (FLUFFY DOMESTIC DIAFAM IS REAL). mostly just kind of...impressions and general thoughts, if that makes sense! lately though I've been kind of obsessed with thinking about Lilia's hair, and specifically when/why he ended up cutting it. (l-look, we're bouncing around the timeline and I gotta make decisions about these things when I draw, it's relevant) (I mean I would probably be weirdly fixated on this anyway, but.)
I think I've settled on the idea that he kept it long until he went to NRC, partly because 1) I like drawing The Ponytail, and 2) I think he thought of NRC as a chance to reinvent himself a bit! he gets to go and be a wacky carefree teenager for a few years and have fun! (officially he's there to keep an eye on Son #1, but how much trouble could he get into, really.) so he gave himself a Cool Teen Haircut to go with his fresh new Cool Teen Persona!
also maybe he had some reflection on his hair's troubled past with three kids...
...and had to weigh his vanity versus the fact that he was going off to be around hundreds of kids on a daily basis, and. the choice suddenly seemed obvious.

Cinch had three charges in her care once, Celestia entrusted her with the day-to-day care of Prince Blueblood, the new Princess Cadence and her student Sunset Shimmer - running a kingdom is difficult enough alone without three young ponies to look after - so when Celestia is absent (often) that means Cinch was in charge of these three ponies. And while the matron of the castle was always rigid about rules and wanted her three charges to uphold her reputation and to build their own budding reputations high, she cared about them very much. You'd have to, spending your time with the same three young ponies for so long, guiding and teaching them to be their best...
By the time Ditzy came into the picture, Cinch was down to two charges. She refused to fail them the way she failed...
Well, with one down, there were two left and she cared so much she wouldn't let anyone ruin them, especially not themselves. Surely they would come to realize Cinch was only helping.

one of my hobbies is observing how different iterations of tmnt understand and use colors, for both the backgrounds and the character
87 feels like they're going to a consistent, realism look that's vaguely dependent on the setting. The stuff that should be kinda grey and brown is grey and brown with a little bit of color for the lighting. I imagine some of what they do is restricted because it's actually painted sets rather than. yknow. a digital background. The turtles Mostly stand out well enough, other than raph and donnie in that first picture they're getting a bit lost.
03 looks like they've begun to experiment with contrast, using bright colors to distinguish that Thing from the rest of the scene, but they don't do much with the turtles or the characters so sometimes they disappear into the background, like with the shot of raph on the roof. at a thumbnail size, we'd only know he's there because of his shell.
I have a hard time describing 2012's coloring. Maybe just because it uses 3d models. It utilizes both a strong sense of contrast while also maintaining a little bit of a monotone dingy darkness. Just scrolling through screenshots of a single episode yeilds a variety of scenes with strong color palettes.
rise, we all know it, i don't have to talk about it. Super vibrant colors and strong contrast. Not holding a singular color palette as sacred and putting importance on how a Vibe would color a scene, still making it beautiful while ensuring your characters stand out. i think there's also an element of fading unimportant far away things out but don't Quote me on that
