Description Taa Daa!

Here he is, the Genius of the group.

"Donatello (sometimes shortened to Don or Donnie), a fictional character, is one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT). His bandanna is known to be purple, though in the Mirage comic books, his bandanna is red like the rest of his brothers. Donatello is the "brains" of the Turtles. He wields a bō (six foot staff) and is a practitioner of Ninja Juhakkei."

Alright all profile stuff aside, this was awesome to color! I felt so pumped and reminiscent as I placed the colors down. TMNT was my favorite show growing up and I still love it to this day.

The line art belongs to this cool dude. [link] Once I saw it I just had to color it so I asked and he gratefully agreed. Check out his profile it's sweet! Here's the original: [link]

Nice Dude! After you asked I thought about doing my own version to see what things might look like in comparison. The only thing you might want to consider is that in the newer cartoon versions of the turtles they usually distinguish them not only by their bandanna color but by their actual skin color as well. Donnie usually rocks an olive green-ish kind of color. Nonetheless, I appreciate the time and I hope you had fun doing it! I posted my version here [link]

Keep doin' your thing!

Thanks man! ^^ Yeah I considered that at a point during the project and just decided to stick with the classic green. No disrespect to the new cartoons, I just grew up with and am more loyal to the 1987 incarnations. Maybe at a later time I'll redo it and get my skill up. The biggest problem I have with coloring anything is highlights though...hate those. XD Again thanks for giving me the chance and I had a blast doing it.
