Description One of my New Year's resolutions is to start drawing more humans and getting more comfortable doing such. I started this a while ago and decided to post it just to show that I'm not dead. The guy is yet another human character from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise I've come to like very much. has done an amazing job of not only fleshing him out but updating him so he could fit into the 2003 TMNT series (which is my personal favorite). Vernon's look was never quite consistent in the 80s show (which is where he originally hails from), so this is my attempt at giving him one as well as experimenting with different expressions.

Alicia, the girl, is someone who eventually becomes very a important person in his life. She's Cakeless' OFC.

Thank you so much for this! This is amazing! I also love Vernon with a beard LOL. (This explains that question you asked me not too long ago.) I'm also overjoyed to see Alicia drawn on paper in the world! I love your take on her.

I can't wait to see more humans from you! I love your anthros though. I just can't wait to see more characters in your style.

I'm so glad you like how I fleshed him out. XD I'm really flattered! (Just as flattered as I am that you drew this!)

I, for one, am amazed to hear that there were issues with 1987's animation LOL. Side note: Nothing will beat the time Michelangelo appeared with pies because the animators thought by "pizza pies" they just meant pies. And he does call them pizzas in the scene IIRC: i0.wp.com/www.adventuresinpoor…

Oh and for people unfamiliar with Alicia, I will note she's not a love interest for him. I realize out of context that might be what it seems like to people LOL.

My pleasure! I'm glad you like how they both turned out. I happened to see a picture of Adrien Brody with a beard and wondered how Vern would look with one.

I'm looking forward to drawing more hairless apes. XD

I gotta give credit where credit's due.

Someone really needs to make a blog or something featuring animation mistakes from the show. OMG the show should've totally had them obsessed with pie.

I did think about mentioning that, but figured if anyone ever asked about it you or I could clear things up.

Vernon and Alicia! It's awesome to see them here. I like how you've drawn their faces, especially when it comes to 3/4 views. Those views are often hard to illustrate LOL, but I think you did an awesome job here!

Thank you! Believe it or not, profile views are the toughest angles for me to do. If you don't get the lips and the space between them and the nose just right, then your humans can come out looking really weird.

Oh yes, that is true. Getting the lips and the space between them and the nose right is vital or else them humans end up looking mutated. I know I've drawn humans that looked like mutated monkeys LOL. I think you've got the profile pics of Vernon and Alicia down pat! Which reminds me, I wanted to say that I really dig Vernon with facial hair. He makes it look good.

And as always, you are so welcome.

Mine's used to look like clowns. xD Thank you, I'm glad you like his new look! I enjoy experimenting with characters' appearances like that, especially since they barely ever change or update their looks in canon.

They rarely change his look? Huh. That's...interesting. Either way, it looks good on him and I'm glad to see some awesome experimentation being done with his looks.

I meant more like in general cartoon characters rarely if ever change their clothes, hairstyles, etc. I think in one episode Vernon dressed up for Halloween and another one where we saw him dressed down, but that was it. But I do get why that's a thing. That's where we fans come in.
