it's me and my fiancé's 6th anniversary today so i drew out sonas as a gift 🥺 i've had pastel for a good bit now and my partner wanted to join in on sona shenanigans so he said "what if i made a bunny sona?" and the rest is history lmao
his name is ignus and he's a spirit brought to earth by a comet 💖 he and pastel have a good bit of lore that i'd rather keep for me, my partner, and friends but tl;dr they're gay and in love~
since they're inspired by leosagi, i'm still tagging them as such even though they're not leo and usagi 😛 i just love theyyyyy

[[seriously, don't use this piece anywhere, not even as your own pfp or banner. this is a personal piece and is essentially just a doodle of me and my partner so i'd rather it won't be used anywhere 💖]]
Ohmigosh... IT'S TURTLE TERV...!!! Or Tev, for short, because I cannot for the life of me come up with fresh nicknames based on my url lmao. I've been working on this so slow because of my hand and then I got a fever but finally I can post this<3
Tev owes her life to @spacemimz who so insanely kindly wanted to make a turtlesona for me ;_; ilu Mike there are still no words to describe how much this means to me!!!!!
AND YES she is based on a diamondback terrapin!!! An absolute galaxy brain choice from Mike, I was veering towards darker coloured turtles but they didn't really feel like me and then bam, problem solved, just like that
Ramblings about design changes and stuff under the cut:
The biggest changes I did to Mike's original design (I got granted free rein with it which, AWESOME SAUCE because initially I was dead set on designing the sona from scratch) are no hair because the absolutely adorable ref had my hairstyle and it was so cute but I just can't for the life of me to get it look right ahhgdhs but hey maybe... sometimes, she will wear wigs... I also simplified the shell pattern, made the hands and feet opaque for clarity and gave her slightly different clothes (which are subject to change because I'm goofy like that).
GHHH I. I LOVE THE CLAWS AND THE BIGGER HANDS AND FOREARMS those I absolutely wanted to keep and it's also funny because I have tiny EU size 7 hands but this sona is the complete opposite. It honestly just makes me happy!!
And because I'm extra, I have now two different ways to draw her markings lol. I like the spray airbrush and the hand-saving gradient it gives but I know for certain that I won't be patient enough to always use it so the silly kinda-chibi "Gosh darn it dropped my glasses I hope no one saw" pic has all the spots hand drawn. It works well for smaller scale pics and is also cute so win-win >:3
Anywayyyy I'm in love with her and I could ramble forever so I'm just gonna hit post now ahahaghsdf
I may or may not have created a baby toitle doodle that I turned into a base, and I’ve been drawing teetles on it nonstop
Of course I had to test it with everyone’s favourite brothers, but I’ve also been collecting references of people’s turtlesonas in a TMNT discord server, and I’ve drawn as many as I can and they’re all ADORABLE!! I’ve mentioned as many people as I can find, but if I’m missing anyone let me know!
I’ll be updating this post line by line as I draw more turtles!

do yall remember months ago when i said eggo has a twin?
well @haunted-wolfpup made a turtlesona, Nekronardo and we HAD to make them twins !!them being twins just made sence :P
(these are old btw, i just forgot to post them bdhnasjfbdsjklfbsd)
Twitter is getting worse every day that passes, while i'm kinda unsure on what to do with my twt acc and art, i think it's a good idea to start moving to other socials just in case twitter lights on fire again
Since i really like to talk and my dream has always been having a cool blog, i think tumblr is the best option i have rn (i used to be an amino kid so tumblr kinda reminds me of that hell hole app but 10x better)
i was brainrotting over the new porter robinson song and wanted to do another practice animation before i make the trailer for LM so here's a triplets hug!
Pastel Leo is my rise/turtle sona. i don't intend to make any story or deep lore from him but he has a tiny bit. he's immortal, being the manifestation of something so it lead to a very lonely life for him. somewhere down the line, he met Rookie and Socks and they all dubbed themselves triplets and have been inseparable since 😄
Rookie belongs to @camilieroart
Socks belongs to @meggalice
also drew them as tots for shits and giggles... also because they'd be cute as tots 🥺
