what IS the constant feed? i've been imagining just something like static and white noise that just drives him crazy, but i gotta know what it actually is
It’s a constant feed of his family being awful to him. It starts pretty mild.
Mikey making a joke that’s less funny, and more hurtful.
Splinter telling Donnie to be useful and fix something.
April telling him she’s through with pretending he doesn’t drive her mad.
Leo blaming Donnie for his tech getting in the way.
Raph furious because it’s Donnie’s fault that one of their brothers got hurt.
And it just repeats with different scenarios, all varying in intensity, until Donnie can’t remember who’s said what and is just left with the knowledge that his entire family hates him. So when Kendra finally shows him this, it’s the final nail in the coffin.
Story time: made this piece with an old friend in mind. They had one of those almost photo-realistic art styles and we would respectfully hype up each other’s art
People thought it was weird that they would find interest in my cartoonish style if they already themselves had such an advanced one
But peeps got to remember despite your differences, we’re all still artists and just vibing to our own interests and skills・:*+.
Took one of our conversations as inspo and inserted it - song used is “Blue Boy” by Mac DeMarco
