Just a few doodles.... that turned into a few mini comic panels 🤭
I'll look to maybe continue this in the near future, but who knows... 🤷
OH. And I've included a partial summary of this AU that I've been brewing in my noggin just below💡y'know, in case anybody was interested fsdf
.
.
.
.
.
.
So basically this is the premise for my Salamandrian Encounter AU (still thinking of a better title tbh 🤔) or at least the beginnings of it — somewhere between a few months to a year following the aftermath of the ROTTMNT movie, a strange meteor flies across the NYC skyline before crashing in the middle of Central Park. Witnessing the sight while doing their usual nightly patrol, the "Mad Dogs" go to investigate. At the crashsite, they find a strange frog-shaped alien spacecraft (I gotta doodle it some more, but drawing mechanical is hard orz. A mini doodle of it can be found here) and its pilot, knocked unconscious.
Before the boys can do much of anything, besides freak out about a another possible alien invasion, men in black suits and armoured vans arrive—i.e. the EPF/Earth Protection Force—with Agent Bishop at the helm, and the two parties have a stand off. Finding it hard to not only keep the government agents at bay, but also to keep them from seizing the unconscious alien, the Mad Dogs make a hasty retreat, leaving the spacecraft to be collected and contained by the EPF.
Taking the pilot back to the lair, the boys patch her up, remove the two strange half-spherical objects from her temples—of which Donnie's interest is immediately piqued. I mean, c'mon, mysterious alien tech?! Boy's brain would be ABUZZ with all the possibilities!—and leave her in the medbay to recover while they debrief the crazy events of the night. Unbeknown to them, not long after they begin to discuss the EPF, with supporting security camera footage and drone shots taken thanks to Donnie—who is multitasking: fiddling with the strange alien tech in his hands mid-discusssion/info-dumping about the information he's found about the EPF—the pilot stirs in the medbay.
POV switch to Y'Gythgba—a young, intelligent, earnest but socially naive Salamandrian warrior/engineer on a mission, awakes not only to a pounding headache and a couple of cracker ribs—made worse by the bright flourescent lights and her lack of psionic amplifiers/holovisor, which have mysteriously gone missing—but also to an unfamiliar environment, with no sign of her AMPHIBAMECH (if anyone can come up with a better name, please pass along your suggestions lol). Immediately on alert, Y'Gythgba goes into full on Solid Snake stealth and begins to sneak about the lair, not sure of what to make of her strange 'alien' surroundings.
Silently, she stalks from tunnel to tunnel, passing a sleeping rat-man in a lazy boy recliner as a projector plays an archaic holovid of a strange humanoid in a jumpsuit and large optic lenses, fighting several adversaries. Y'Gythgba pauses to observe the old rat, trying to assess if he is an immediate threat or harmless, until raised voices—faintly familar yet unintelligible to her ears—grab her attention. Summoning/'pulling' her NovaBlaster from its pocket dimension with a wave of her hand and a trail of pink alien code and light ribbons (think Tron Legacy 😉), Y'Gythgba confronts her 'captors' from the doorway, catching them by surprise as she demands to know where her ship/AMPHIBAMECH is.
Obviously, neither the Mad Dogs or Y'Gythgba can understand one another, so as the boys take a step towards her, Y'Gythgba raises her blaster and fires a warning shot on its lowest setting... just inches above poor Raph's head 🥲
And voila! SHENANIGANS ENSUSE. That's all that I really have set in stone ATM, but I'll probably add more in the future if I do more doodles (...maybe)
OH. And the alien language that Y’Gythgba/Mona is using can be found here

more doodles and a range of clean/rough unfinished sketches that I'll probably never touch again fsdf.
also decided to draw y'gythgba/mona as the awkward, adorkable sweetheart she is under all that tough salamandrian bravado/ingrained overachieving, results-driven perfectionism (girl is a classic type a personality. poor thing is riddled with anxiety and impossible high self-expectations. RIP.)

nobody asked for it, but here are some doodles of Salamandrians if they appeared in the ROTTMNT universe. just had to get them outta my brain so i can focus on more important things — like finally doing some proper fan art of the boys ✨🥺👉👈✨
also… have some head cannons as a treat ✨:
.
.
.
.
.
• Salamandrians are TALL. The average height of a full grown adult is between 6’0” and 7’0”, though they have been known to exceed this and reach heights of 8’0” or higher (there are some exceptions to the status quo *coughY’Gthgbacough*, but they are few and far between) ✨ they also vary in size, but the common denominator is that they are fit and muscular in some form or another ✨ like the 2012 series, the Salamandrians culture is focused heavily on maintaining a warrior’s honour both on and off the battlefield. They are also known for their deadly, highly advanced tech—from weapons to their hyperdrives ✨ they are an incredibly prideful race, and can be snobbish to other races, to the point of being elitist in some cases ✨
• Salamandrians go through 3 major stages of metamorphosis during their life ✨ The first stage, from birth to early childhood, they are essentially tadpoles and are fully aquatic. Unable to breathe above land, their lungs form externally on their head (like axolotls 🥰) and gradually shrink throughout the rest of their lifecycle as they grow lungs internally and disappear entirely when they reach maturity/adulthood ✨ Because they are aquatic, they are unable to verbally communicate and are born with telepathy, allowing them to communicate mentally with one another. When they first reach land—later in their youth cycle—young Salamandrians ‘absorb’ knowledge and skills (i.e. learning language and etiquette, etc) through pressing their foreheads with another being (usually their parent//adult guardian). Similarly to their external lungs, this ability fades as they mature, though it is not uncommon for juveniles/teens to retain some fraction of their telepathy. However, it usually requires great focus, and in some circumstance direct touch, to achieve even a little success. By the time they reach adulthood, Salamandrians lose all telepathic ability ✨
• As well as being fully aquatic and having telepathic ability, from birth young Salamandrians more FERAL then their adult counterparts with insatiable appetites and a monstrous state to match (they’re like little carnivorous gremlins 🥰). As they grow and mature, Salamandrians ‘mellow out’, shedding their ‘animalistic’ selves for more intelligent and controlled states of being—though their feral instincts never quite go away and will emerge whenever triggered/called upon in battle, though are generally more ‘controlled’ rather being full feral mode ✨Upon reaching childhood (i.e. roughly between the ages of 4-6yo) Salamandrians’ begin to enter their ‘amphibious’ stage. Their internal lungs have developed enough for them to spend short periods on land, though they still spend most of their time under water ✨ by the time they are teens/juveniles, Salamandrians will spend their time predominately on land/above water, but will need to either submerge themselves in water for a brief period of time per day (notably during sleep/rest) or install hydro filters in their suits to allow their skin to absorb moisture and prevent themselves from ‘drying out’ ✨ when they reach adulthood, Salamandrians don’t require constant access to water/moisture on a day-to-day basis, but is obviously a comfort/familiarity to them ✨
• like the 2012 series, the Salamandrians are at ‘war’ with the Triceratons for destroying their home world, Salamandria—though it is more of a one-sided conflict with the Salamandrians as the main aggressors, while the Triceratons don’t see them as much of a threat worthy enough for full intergalactic war despite being the initial instigators ✨the Triceratons invaded Salamandria a decade or so ago before the start of the series; overwhelmed the Salamandrians; drained it of its rarest resource, Empyrean; and as a final act of malice, destroyed it for being somewhat connected to the Krang—their enemy, and the driving force behind their terror across the stars ✨
• similar to the yōkai and mutants on earth, Salamandrians owe a lot of their genetic make up and the metamorphism/mutation in their lifecycle to Empyrean ; long ago, before it came known as Salamandria, the Salamandrian’s home planet was occupied by another intelligent species that was conquered and consumed by the Krang. Seeing nothing worthy left to enslave, the Krang left, leaving behind a canister/a supply of Empyrean that drained into the many connecting ponds and pools of water found across the planets surface. In the years that followed, the first Salamandrians arose from the watery depths to take their first steps on the surface ✨
• Empyrean is essential to the Salamandrian lifecycle, especially for their young. It is what allows them to not only exist in a general sense, but is needed to help them progress through their natural state of metamorphism (i.e. from tadpole to juvenile to adult). Without a steady supply or alternative, Salamandrians have experienced a devastating decline in their population growth and are rapidly heading towards extinction ✨ Y’Gythgba//Mona is part of what is known as the ‘last generation’; the last cluster of Salamandrians born on Salamandria and have survived into adolescence ✨
• after her battalion/research team’s space scouts (i.e. mini drone satellites) pick up Empyrean readings coming from Earth, Y’Gthgba/Mona’s life ambition to save her kin from extinction is revitalised and ignited, full-throttle ✨ Going against the general consensus to take the Empyrean by any means necessary (i.e. by force/conquering) and strict orders from her father and commanding General, General G’Throkka, Y’Gthgba steals the co-ordinates and hyper jump calculations to earth; erases them from the scouts’ memory banks to give her time to find an alternative to war/invasion and/or Empyrean substitute; takes her ship/amphibamech equipped with the latest and fastest in hyperjump tech (of her own design fyi, even if it is still in beta/testing and has a habit of miscalculating jump points between dimensions…) and crash lands on Earth, or more accurately Central Park, NYC, some months after the Krang were defeated/sealed in Dimension X/the prison dimension ✨ and voila! SHENANIGANS ENSUE!

so i finally got around to watching all of rottmnt and the movie... and now i have a bad case of brain rot, featuring my main girl mona lisa—who would be amazing to see in the series imo if it ever gets another season which is unlikely orz
basically my idea for mona is a mixture of the 80s and 2012 series—she's a salamandrian on a mission to save her people, that crash lands in NYC some time after the events of the movie... and shenanigans ensue 🤭🌟
