Description Ahhh I love TMNT, but this is the first time I've ever actually drawn 'em! Kind of love the 2012 show character designs, so I was compelled.

Ah thanks! My older cousin was totally obsessed with TMNT, which is how I kinda got interested. I was a bit young for the 80s cartoon (caught the tail end of it when I was very wee), but I really liked the 2003 series, which got me back into it again. Mikey's my favourite too!

TMNT ay? I don't think I've heard of them before. They look like a rip-off of Samurai Pizza Cats. Or the Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters.

I am kidding of course. (I didn't make up that Hamster one though. That was a thing. ) Anywho...this is quite marvelous. Those poses are awesome. Not only are they suited to each weapon but they each have individual personality to them. I think I love that the most. I think that's the trickiest thing about drawing the Turtles...making them look like individuals. But I think you've done that perfectly. As soon as you look at the pic you instantly get a sense of what each of them are like...even if you'd never seen them before. For example, the subtle differences in Raphael and Leonardo's expressions. They both look like anger/determination but then you look and see Leo has that quiet focus and Raph has that bubbling rage. Genius!

I also like how you did it in a mostly monochrome style. It's like a little homage to their original comic book.

I actually knew about the Hamster one! XD 


Ahhh thanks! I was just trying to remember the very little bit about martial arts for different weapons that I know for the poses. I've done a bit of training with the Bo and Bokken (wooden sword XD ), but I know like nothing about Sais or Nunchuks so I totally made that shit up.  


The monochrome was mostly because I was originally just gonna upload this as a super sketchy sketch...then I was like "well I might just do a bit of shading on the shells...and maybe on the weapons...and might as well play around with some brushes in the background...and I guess add a touch of colour to the masks." XD

Ah thanks! Mikey has always been my favourite, although I have to say I do really like Leo in the new show...they lightened him up a lot, and he's obsessed with this super hilarious Star Trek-ish show. I can relate. XD
