Description
Sooo... A funny story.I've been enjoying the lovely pictures done by CelandineGranger and FlauxPG as part of the Secret Santa, depicting turtles in a snowy scene, complete with amazing backgrounds. See for yourself!
So that got me thinking... I want to try doing one of those myself!
I just need an idea for a snowy scene picture...Just as I'm considering this, my Secret Santa is revealed to be two-roads-and-apenny with a short story!
TMNT Christmas Carols ~ Jingle BellsJingle Bells
“Cowabunga!”
“MIKEY!” Raph shouted as his youngest brother’s sled kicked up enough snow to entomb him where he stood on the hill. “That’s it you little punk! I’m gonna bury your shell so deep you won’t be found till summer!”
Mikey laughed as his brother started chasing him down the hill. Mission accomplished. “You gotta catch me first, Raphie!”
“When I get my hands on you—HEY!” Again, Raph was pelted with snow by a sled speeding by.
“Sorry, Raph,” Don shrugged mischievously.
“Sorry my shell!” Raph growled, padding his hands against the snow to give his sled a boost. By the time he made it to the bottom, both his younger brothers were already holding their sleds, readying to head back up the hill.
“Getting slow in your old age there, Raphie-boy?“ Mikey avoided a smack to his head as he smirked a
A read through the story, and there's my picture inspiration right there. 
Belatedly, I realise my error. 
So, although this was meant to be an accompanying picture for the story and a nice surprise for , it's not. Because I drew it for the wrong universe. Instead, it's a... random picture of the 2012 turtles going sledging.

Oh wow! This is so adorable! I love their faces! They look ready to have a friendly race for once! xD They also look so cuddly in their sweaters! I just love turtles in clothes! You did a great job with the BG and the sledges! So detailed and neat! Well done!

Thank you!
They're mostly feeling friendly...
Drawing the turtles in clothes was more fun than I expected, and a lot easier than I feared! It helped that the clothing was bulky so I didn't have to worry too much about the definition of the limbs. All the boys facing forward also meant I didn't have to worry about getting the visible curvature of the shell right.

Haha, fantastic.
To be honest, I never thought of a specific universe to put these stories in, but I suppose they do fit more so with the 2003 verse (due to the 'cowabunga' at the beginning). Be that as it may, I wouldn't be so hard on yourself. The story could easily work with 2012 turtles as well.
And besides, this picture made my day. Not only because it's my first fanart (which is a very big deal for me), but also because I love the details. From the pine trees, to the little birds, to the clothes that are clearly hand-me-downs. And especially the mischievous look on Don's face (he's even got his bo at the ready). It's fantastic.
Thank you so much. This is a wonderful surprise.

There were a few hints further down the story of it being the 2003 universe too, such as Casey referring to April as Babe. Donnie also came across less sassy than I'd expect from his 2012 personality. 2003 Donnie was the master of insults by stealth and wit.
I'm really glad you like the picture!

Fair deal.
Now that I definitely understand. Though it still astounds me how artists such as yourself are able to create those details from nothing. I'm at least given a dictionary and thesaurus.

I love this! It fits very well with the story.
I am in awe of your pine trees. You draw them much better than I did!
I also love the turtles' uniquely mismatched clothes. Especially their homemade makeshift "boots". I just adore their huge feet!
Well done on this. It's such a fun picture and you did very well on the background.

Yay, thank you!
I was having fun throwing random jumble sale clothing onto the boys in increasingly outrageous colours.
(Although I do still have that image in my head of Raph knitting them all some socks... 
As for the trees... I have a pine tree branch brush that I use, which makes it quite easy.

Yes! I love that Leo ended up with a pink coat, and Mikey's sweatshirt is awesome! XD
You're totally right about Splinter (and probably some of the turtles) being good with leather. That definitely makes sense.
You can still totally do a pic of Raph knitting. After all, in my pic, they were at the farmhouse and probably didn't have leather to make shoes. XD
Even with a cheating brush, I'm impressed. I like the shape of your trees.
