# About me
Who Am I? I am Spirael! O-or Rae if you prefer...I'm a thirty-something computer programmer (technically a database developer, but that's harder to understand ;) ), wife and mother-of-two who lives in the United Kingdom. Between my family and day job, I occasionally get a chance to write or draw - so that's what you'll find here. :D
I have a massive list of projects I wish I had time to do, so I'm afraid I rarely have time available to do commissions, requests, collaborations, etc. I'm sorry! If that ever changes (maybe when I reach retirement age
) I'll be sure to advertise the fact. However I do my best to respond to all comments, so if you enjoy my work then please do let me know! As you may notice from my gallery, I'm a Ninja Turtles fan. Most of my art has been from the 2012 series, but I also love the original live action films, the IDW comics and I have a soft spot for the 2003 series. I love all four of the brothers, so don't tell them that Donatello is my favourite. ;)
The picture above? Yes, that's me, in a Donatello costume I made. It was originally for the summer carnival parade in the small market town where I live... But since then it's seen a few more outings at comic-conventions and been really well received! If you're in the UK and see me around at any events, I'm happy to stop for hugs/photos!
Just come and grab me or my minder - as I have very limited visibility when I'm in full costume. I hope someday to bring my costume abroad to SDCC or NYCC!I'm also a tabletop roleplayer, so you might find art from those games cropping up occasionally as well! Although, lately, drawing the characters seems to be a kiss of death for the games, so consequently I've been doing less of them. :P
I have a modern fantasy book series that I'm in the progress of writing, that I hope to self-publish at some point. Preferably before retirement, but I'm flexible.
Characters and scenes from there having been cropping up in my gallery as well. If you like them, please ask me about them! I love feedback.# Comments

Thanks for the turtle wishes! I'm laughing so hard at the picture that ended up being on the one I sent you! I guess you get a tied up turtle for Christmas, too! XD

Hee, gotta love the tied up turtles! And given that Raph and Donnie are taken, Leo would have been my next choice anyway, so that worked well!

Haha! Those poor turtles! Apparently we fangirls are not to be trusted with them!

Unfortunately I don't have enough time available to take requests. However you're welcome to make a suggestion of something you think I might like to draw/write. If I agree, then maybe I will!

In 9 minutes something will make you happy. Please share this with 15 girls you love. Remember, only for *girls*. If I don't get this back I'm obviously not a close friend. Now, I have a game for you, it's been played since 1977. Once you read this, you have to send it to 15 people. Your next 5 days will be like this: Day 1 - you will wake up to the biggest shock of your life. Day 2 - you will cross paths with an old friend you have missed. Day 3 - you will find yourself with a lot of money. Day 4 - your day will be perfect. Day 5 - the love of your life will kiss you. ....if you don't forward this, your next 5 days will be the exact opposite. Don't break this. Send it to 14 friends in 10 minutes. It's not that hard. Whoever sent this to you must care about you

Aaaa! I just finished all of the chapters you have posted so far, and you HAVE to write the rest! This is a fabulous story and I am really enjoying it! I can't wait to find out what happens next!
I love how you had Donnie inherit April's telepathic abilities. He is the kind of person that would find that really cool if he wasn't so freaked out about the manner in which he obtained those abilities!
And when they were unwittingly taking the Mikey clone back to the lair, I was like, "No! Don't take it back to the lair! It's a clone!" but they didn't listen to me.
Very awesome story, and I'm looking forward to more!
By the way, I don't have an account on ff.net, so is it possible for you to post a notice here on DA when you update, so I know to go check it out? Please? That would be great!

Oh wow, thank you so much!
I'm impressed and very happy you picked up on the Mikey clone! I wrote the hints in, but a lot of people seemed not to realise until it became somewhat obvious. XD I'm glad that I didn't completely botch my foreshadowing.
I usually try and post updates on Friday and Sunday, but I'll endeavour to also remember to post a notification here when I put each one up.

Your foreshadowing was perfect! I think the thing that made me suspect it the most was the lack of resistance the turtles faced in getting him out of there. It felt like the bad guys wanted them to take him.
You're doing a great job writing this! Keep it up!
