Scatterbrainedbot - Incapable Of Shutting Up In The Tags

Finally, it's time for my full @turtlestogetherzine piece reveal! Unfortunately, the leftovers sale seems to have completely sold out before I could get online, so I'm too late for the marketing angle. Here's a link anyway! - https://turtleszine.bigcartel.com/

So many people contributed pieces covering almost all versions of TMNT we've had to date, and my assigned role was to carry the torch for the original Mirage comics, which I was thrilled to be able to do.

I decided to lean into the Turtles in Space arc, which is one of my favorites (Triceratons are just cool okay), and also made sure that it had some good groanworthy puns. Mirage TMNT has this mythical reputation for being Too Hardcore For This Soft World, but it's actually a very goofy comic that's allowed to have a little blood and intensity sometimes. I love that and wanted to make sure the goof came through.

Here's a couple WIPs, including some of my training to emulate that oldschool indie comic style! It was fun trying to get all the shapes and shading right!

uno's is very clear, she was created and designed for rottmnt's universe on july 28th, 2022

but spots/giovanni didn't start out as a rise oc, when i first decided to make a tmnt oc, i hadn't watched rottmnt, i drew this right after reading the northampton arc in tmnt idw:

28th july 2021

here he is- the first ever drawing of him. :) his head looks like a beluga whale immediately after he turned into a 2012 oc and stayed that way for a while

then! aside from a few drawings that went horribly...

9th june 2022

...was the day i officially made a rise design for him and started to develop a story for him (god he was so ugly)

^he almost looked like this too! ...should we change back???👀

i need to push my "Casey Jr. is farsighted and needs reading glasses" agenda a little harder so here ya go

Mud dogs! Damn... I wanna spinoff abt them <33333

They're playing in "who will look at this bug longer, is getting the last can of food."

(Only Mickey and Leo are playing btw, because Danny ate all already. Plus, these two idiots tried to kill each other because Leo lost and didn't want to share his food. So they asked Danny to be their referee.)

"I hope mum's ok..."

(Why? ↑↑↑ hehehe, aaangst in the next post :P)

Awh! Cmon! Don't tell me they're not besties!

And these two dumbasses are putting rings, little bagels and stolen things on his tail. heh, funny kids.

And sketch of Leonard!

(I tried to customize his design a bit, but in the end it looks like he's sick.)
