Description
For this feudal Japan interpretation, I thought of April O'Neil as the daughter of an Irish nobleman. As a young woman, she comes along with her father to visit Japan on business. While there, April falls in love with Japanese culture (particularly martial arts) and decides to stay and train (against her father's wishes, of course). Ten years later, she finds herself in the middle of the Ninja Turtle/Foot Clan struggle.Related content

I've never liked april much, so this is definitely the coolest interpretation of her I've heard/seen

Thanks! I agree--I think she has the capacity to be much more useful than she is usually portrayed. Plus, girls who are also ninjas are badass! Especially if they're redheads.

TMNT has had so MANY overhauls, and I haven't liked any of the Aprils I don't think.. but this one I would
so I agree!

I just came across your work and love all of it. I especially love that April wasn't depicted as scantily clad with ginormous knockers. It's refreshing to see an artist who doesn't believe all female characters have to be mammary enhanced.

Thank you so much! Glad you like April. I agree. The sexiest women are the ones with class. ^_^

My first name was April at birth and when the Ninja Turtles came out, people called me April O'Neil so I have a soft spot for her. I'm very happy she was afforded dignity and respect by a wonderful artist. I also LOVE your 80's post-apocalyptic rebellion work. I am digging trying to guess who they all are when they're not clearly labeled or obvious.

Oh, thank you! I'm having fun with those 80s guys! I've always been a huge toy geek, so this is a labor of love. ^_^ I haven't had much time to work on new ones, but I've got a lot more planned! I've got a story in the works, too.
That's cool! I've always liked the name April, probably because of TMNT, and because that's the month I was born in. Being the TMNT nut I was, I think I had a crush on April O'Neil growing up!

I'm writing up a little story to go along with it--I pictured it as a comic book or an anime! How cool would that be?

Never was a fan of April, allways getting in trouble n stuff. this take I could start to like though XD I love that you put some thought behind it too. very well done m8!

Thank you! Yeah, I thought April could use a better premise, other than meddling!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
meddling and getting into trouble. was more irritated at her than the badguys XD

Wahoo
Small tip: I've recently learned that when you're drawing, flipping the image helps you correct mistakes and proportions and stuff.. Flipping is like mirroring? Although I've never done it, I hope it can help you

Thank you! Yeah, maybe the face is a little off--realistic human faces were never my strongpoint. I learned the draw monsters before people!
This design is more or less based off of the TV series, but I changed her story.
Yeah, I've done that before, here and there--sometimes I'm surprised at how different it looks!

Ahhhhhh! *jumps up and down* yay! Really excellent drawing (as usual). I especially love the gentleness of the colours on her stomach. Also, Irish girls FTW!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hooray! Glad you approve! I thought the coloring turned out pretty good on this one! And, of course, Irish girls rock! We Irish folk have to stick together, after all! Well, I'm a quarter Irish... but that's not bad!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
1/4 Irish, 1/8 Irish, 100% Irish, we're all the same! A drop of Irish blood is enough!

So true! Cheers!

Well, at least she'd be able to fight for herself and be more than a damsel in distress all the time. I think the boys would be pretty hot for a girl that can give them a good fight, too.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ha, ha! I suppose that's true! I always got sick of April getting in the way on the show--she should really have a more active role!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Very good idea. That would actually be a pretty cool TMNT fanfiction.
Are you planning on doing the bad guys too?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you! Yeah, I've got a few of them sketched already; just a matter of scanning them in a coloring them! After they're all done, I'm planning on posting them on my site with the full storyline written out, with character bios and whatnot.
