Description 21/11/2012

CARTOON:
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!
CHARACTER: Donatello (Don/Donnie)

**************************************************

WEEEEEEE! Have been working on this for too long and all it was suppose to be was a quick-pic. Oh well, while I'm in a fandom phase, I like to try and produce at least one art piece for it, and you guessed it: I'm in a TMNT phase and this idea came to mind... with a lot of influence from the following vids = [link] , [link] (WARNING: Spoiler alert for those of you who haven't seen the ep: Same as it Never Was (SaiNW) and the second vid contains some blood)

This pic was the source behind the background's inspirarion = [link]

Now, I've never drawn a ninja before, or a turtle, so I apologize if there're mistakes. And I know the paper is torn in various places, but I'm not too concerned 'cause I'm actually pleased with the outcome of this doodle. I've never used such intense shading in a pic before, and honestly didn't think I'd be able to, but I pulled off what I had imagined in my head so I'm happy. Like I said, it wasn't meant to get to this level.

So yeah, I'm a Ninja Turtles fan alright. That goes back to my childhood, watching the 80's toon and it was one of my favs! I also watched the 2003 series whenever I could (and am currently rewatching it now) and own the 2007 movie, watched a few of the old ones *takes a breath* and now await the arrival of the 2012 series to be aired on Nick this Sunday!! Next I plan on hunting for the Mirage comics.

But back to the pic, though I'm a Leo fangirl (but love them all, seriously) this pic screamed for Donnie, and if you watch the vids, you'll understand why. As for his exact reason to being all sad there, I'm leaving it up to you. It can be as dramatic or as trivial as you like; sad about April, one of his inventions didn't work, or my personal fav; Mikey got the last slice of pizza. It's up to you, and no, it doesn't reflect how I'm feeling, it was done merely as an experiment and for the fact that I actually like these kindsa pics because of the deep emotions they hold. Whoohoo!

DON'T JUDGE MEEEEE~

And for the love of pizza, I can't choose what style I like best of the Turtles, but I based this mostly on the 2003 style.

The 2k3 style is absolutely the best and you did a wonderful job with this pic. That pose gives this so much feeling, as does the shading and background. I just adore Donatello!

good do you think he will ever tell his brothers and father about that?

Drag0n-Mistr3ss In reply to BlueRoseKelly [2012-11-23 12:22:40 +0000 UTC]

Hmm, good question. He might as they get older, but maybe given a few years since I doubt he'd like to relive that memory... plus telling someone they die doesn't usually turn out too great.

But it makes for juicy fanfic plots.

Thanks a bunch, Cera~ So glad you approve!! The shooting star's probably one of my fav bits too, not really for the art per say, but rather the symbol of some hope in the darkness/sadness... or something like that.

Much appreciated, dearie~

this is so amazing and beautifully drawn. for a first time drawing, this is really good
The shading is well done and the emotions of this pic are overwhelming (in a good way)

Yeah, even though those episodes are real sad, they are still my favorite and i STILL wish they had made a spin off series where Don gets stuck for a bit longer than in the episode and he his 'brothers' fight and revolt against Shreder. i would DEFINANTLY watch it

You're totally right!! It would've been awesome! As sad it was, it was a really good ep. Poor Donnie~

Leo was sent to Usagi's world, and they teamed up for a mission! WHY WAS DONNY THE ONLY ONE SENT TO A DISTANT POST-APOCALIPTIC FUTURE WORLD RULED BY THE SHREDDER?!)

Must've drawn the shortest straw. No seriously, I guess they just wanted something totally unexpected and less comic-relief-y. More intense for fans with dark minds... actually I dunno... WHYYYYYYYY?? Bad animators!!

But, the first TMNT comic was really dark!(i found it someqhere and read the very first hapter, SPLINTER ASKED THEM TO LKILL THE SHREDDER!)

Drag0n-Mistr3ss In reply to Yami-Horus [2012-11-23 12:24:42 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I believe so! It's much more darker than the toons. Are they more-or-less the same, personality wise, or completely different?

Yami-Horus In reply to Drag0n-Mistr3ss [2012-11-28 08:38:13 +0000 UTC]

I'm not exactly sure how to describe it. they kind of do have the same personality in the comics and the series, but... with a little bit... difference... like... in the 80's toon they're all cheerful, while in 2003 they're more serious, and... well... it's easier to see int he speccial "Turtles for ever"
