I’ve been reading The Eldest Brother fanfic by @debb987 and I absolutely adore Raph being able to hold all the 2012 children on his shell!!!
The background is stolen from the show (although I think that’s kinda obvious just by looking haha). I got the idea for this drawing when I saw a screenshot of Rise!Raph holding all his brother! So I traced that screenshot and just added the 2012 turtles on top.
Rad looks up when he hears a hissy screech coming from the ceiling. He doesn't have more than a second to process what's falling before something small and very angry falls.
Right at his face.
He closes his eyes on reflex, more startled than hurt by tiny claws and little sharp teeth. His scales are too thick for skin to be pierced.
He feels a pebble? A chirping pebble? Land somewhere in the space between neck and shell, right behind his head. Another tiny on a shoulder, even if it doesn't stay put for long, little clawed feet running from one shoulder to the next before it takes refuge along with the chirping pebble, right in the pocket shell.
A larger weight is on his shell, he hears the sound of a scratched shell as the creature tries to escale up his scutes to reach the others.
Churring to reassure the tots (because the sounds are definitely turtle) he slowly raises an arm to carefully pry the hissy one away from his face— PFFF THE EYES!
Raph chuckles and craddles the angry tot to his chest, hoping that being close to the sound will call him down. The larger tot has reached his neck now, a tiny arm reaching forward as if to ask for the hissy one to be handed over.
Rad lays down on the floor, letting the tots decide what they want to do as he continues to churr reassuringly.
quick thing I did because @debb987's The Eldest Brother is a very funny fic (when it's not being sad) and when I saw this scene from the latest chapter I laughed so hard astronauts heard me

All of these creations are absolutely beautiful and if you have not seen them yet I definitely recommend checking them out💫✨

I love this beautiful, over protective, anxiety filled, single teenage mother with all my heart, but oh mi gosh do I have trouble drawing him🥲
Nothing but respect to all those who can draw this adorable tough guy as an absolute savage with a proper snout, cause while drawing this I learned that I... Can not.
Same amount of absolute respect an admiration to those who don't get creative paralysis and can post every week and not just have random burst of "Hmmm, I suddenly don't want to do anything but draw now".

I FINALLY FINISHED MY ROTTMNT ANIMATIC WOOOOOO!!!
This animatic was based on an amazing fanfic called The Eldest Brother and it was written by @debb987!
I was originally gonna make it longer but honestly this has been sitting on the backburner for months and I'm worried if I try to add more it'll get neglected for even longer (I may add onto it later though if I feel like it). Regardless, I hope you all enjoy it!!! :3
Rafa stared at the offered muffin like he was seeing the first ray of sun after years of grey clouds and rain.
"Real food."
"Uh, duh?" Leo snorted, "that's what comes up when you look 'muffin' in the dictionary."
"Shut up smartass, you don't get it, you don't know the things I've seen," Rafa scoffed, snatching the muffin. "A phone, a rock, and I really mean a freaking rock here, that goddamn cockroach!"
"Uh?"
"Raph, hey!" 12!Donnie called as he rushed to his brother's side.
"Why the shell does he keep eating things that are NOT food!?" Rafa groaned to the sky. "He's eating this muffin, he's eating it if it's the last thing he does!"
"Oh, funny you mention that, he just ate a poisonous flower-"
"He WHAT."
"-and we're trying to see if he's gonna get any symptoms or-"
"I'm gonna kill him! Grab this!" Rafa shoved the muffin at Donnie's hands. "BIG GUY! DUDE WHY! No, come back here and face me goddamnit!"
Donnie and Leo watched as Rafa left, in a race only red-wearing turtles seemed to be participating on.
"When we found this room, there were a bunch of other turtles. They freed you-"

Raph first got stuck: link

A massive crossover for the @tmntaucompetition with a bunch of iterations and aus we really like. Hopefully we can do more crossovers with ones we haven't yet. Also there's a bit of time between every interaction Raph has with someone, we weren't sure how to convey that :,D
I really enjoyed making this and creating their interactions; I hope I got their personalities right! I'm very sorry, it's really long!

Thank you for letting me draw them!
OkOk! Last part of the first chapter is done!!! This took so long, but I’m surprisingly happy with it? I might do tidbits of other chapters, hence the ‘next’. No way am I doing an entire chapter again, not until I have free time at least. If I do make more, they will be linked in order of chapter number. @debb987
Also, sorry about Mikey’s text, it was way to hard to read on the gray so I threw another color under it. I ended up cutting a good amount of text too, just didn’t really fit in this format. Please read the fic if you want full context!!
