Description " If I had to, I would put myself right beside you.

So let me ask.
Would you like that?
Would you like that?

And I don't mind, If you say this love is the last time.

So now I'll ask.
Do you like that?
Do you like that?

No!

Something's getting in the way.

Something's just about to break.
I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane.

As I burn another page,
As I look the other way.

I still try to find my place in the diary of Jane.
So tell me how it should be. "



My first actual, detailed, shaded, and colored backgrounded picture I've done in a long, long, LONG time. God this was such a pain to do, not perfect but I'm please with how most of it came out at lest.   Soooo much shading, my eyes are killing me just staring at it. 

This drawing relates to whatever you TMNT fans support when it comes to pairings with April. "Caspril", "Apritello", or "Anti-Apritello"; but in my opinion I ship April with both  Though I do believe Donnie deserves better, considering she broke his heart back in season one when her father became a mutant thanks to the mutagen spill.  

Since Casey became a part of the cast, knowing April's secret "friends" and why she's been sneaking out at night into the sewers Donatello's becoming a bit jealous of April's relationship with him. And because he originally saved her from The Kraang the day they met, he feels as though he's being pushed aside as just some person April's in debt to rather than something more. Due to this he starts to develop a series of dark feelings that are a bitter hatred towards Jones, over-protective of April and wanting him to stay out of her life since he's nothing but a trouble maker and always gets in the way of his time with April. This often leads to Donatello following them whenever they hang out...feeling the urge to lash out at Casey once he catches him alone and settle this love triangle once and for all.

I'm still new at drawing the turtles, so forgive me if Donnie's body came out a bit wonky in the little side panel where his head looks more round than egg-shaped.  I'll get the hang of it eventually but I'm quite proud of this little piece since it's my first fanart picture relating to TMNT. I'll probably draw more in the future but that will most likely depend on my motivation like always. And it's pretty fucking obvious by my previous uploads I have a fandom crush on Donnie.  Someone, for the love of Christ help me stop falling for every damn character I see!!!

Also the shape of Donnie's body in the left hand corner is suppose to look like that, mainly because it's a shadow rather than a body so there wasn't a lot of detail to use for it, which is why it's kind of lazily drawn half-assed.  Casey's headband was pretty much the same since I had no, freaking idea how to even START drawing the design on his bandana so I just kinda winged it and hoped it'll look similar to the reference.

If you haven't noticed I'm going to start using another style of shading from now on, I didn't shade the entire picture but Donnie's body, April and Casey's Skin, and the faded streaks in their hair are what I'm going to be toying with when it comes to coloring my pictures. I'm honestly impressed so I think this little tool will come in handy next time I need it for a big project like this. c: Tookmethreefuckingdaystofinishthis.

Anywho, it's 4 AM here. Time to pass out and let myself drift into Dreamland. Enjoy my Darlings. ~

TMNT Belongs to Nicktoons. (@)

April O'Neil, Casey Jones, and Donatello also belong to Nicktoons and their rightful owners. (@)

I'm more of a Capril-fan anyway. 

To be honest Donnie's obsession was creepy back in season 1...and he does deserve better...since April's been messing with his heart lately

Poor D though.

obnixous Cry laughter. It's fine dun worry about it.

I ship both personally. I'm not really one of those hardcore shipper so I ship pretty much anything besides yaoi or yuri pairings, whatever goes and long as it makes sense I'm cool with it. Though I ship Apriltello more than I do Caspril.

Well, there is the fact of the matter of bestiality given Donnie's a turtle with human features. However April isn't really human either since she's part Kraang, so I guess that would mean if they ever got together things wouldn't be as bad as they think. I dunno, it's weird to think about it but personally I ship both because who needs to fight over the best man for our favorite ginger?

I've seen enough porn in my life to know where that goes, try FA where all you find is porn. Pffft-

Technically Karai is Leo's human sister, but they do look adorable together before anyone found out she was Splinter's missing daughter.

Not at all, I have a few friends that ship it too. I'm not a fan of T-cest but I respect it if you like it. c:

Very heartbroken as well, poor Darling just wants to prove to April he's the better man than Casey. ;;

Awww, I love that song so much~ ;w;
Very nice job on the details and shading! I must say it was worth the effort.

Me too, it's one of the few songs I actually like from that band despite them being a little too scream for my taste. Originally I was going to make this be based off the song "If I had you." by Adam Lambert but the sketch didn't really relate to the story so I changed it.

FFFF- Thank you, it was worth it in the end. Though it'll take longer to draw something like this now that I'm getting use to drawing backgrounds again, it'll be worth it and make my art look more lively. c:
