Description

Here we go!

I'm oddly nervous posting this page. It's my first time attempting to write anything for these characters. I love "Rise of the TMNT" and it's characters so much tho. Hope you like it!


A slight disclaimer for those worried about spoilers - while I imagine this chronologically takes place after the season 1 finale, there are no major spoilers and you only really have to had seen up to the episode "Bug Busters" (roughly a third of the way through season 1) to know enough about ROTTMNT to get the context for this comic and its character dynamics.

Some notes:

- One of the things I love about ROTTMNT is the quippy dialogue and sibling banter. It's also one of the things that I'm not particularly confident with writing. I tried my best to do the dialogue right for these dudes.

- I don't play Animal Crossing. But I headcanon that these guys would.

- I'm trying out new fonts; I wanted this to seem extra comic-y.

- Also, I found a lovely TMNT-inspired font on dafont.com, which I used for the title header and the "to be continued"

- Out of all of the turtles, I find Leo to be the most difficult one to draw for whatever reason; it only makes sense that I'd make a comic where he appears in practically every panel. :/

- I figured out how to draw/color reflective tile surfaces while working on this page.

- I might have wrecked my hand a bit while drawing this.

Aw thank you!

Yeah, I try to keep my concepts along the lines of "could happen in the show, but with a slightly darker tone shift".

as someone who hardly knows anything about TMNT in general, and nothing at all about the series mentioned here, this comic is just a great read on its own. the art, the atmosphere, the dialogue, the tension, the action scenes... little details like the background colour changing depending on the mood of the panel, dude you got something fantastic here

jadethestone In reply to PitchBlackEspresso [2020-03-18 23:43:36 +0000 UTC]

Oh my god thank you so much!!!!

I put a lot of work into it and I really tried my best! I'm so happy you like it despite not knowing much about TMNT! I'd always recommend "Rise of the TMNT" (this version) because it really is delightful! Though admittedly, I'm making it slightly angstier here... slightly :3

This is AWESOME! The action here as well as the details look amazing! (AAA but poor guys, especially Mikey and Leo, I hope they'll be ok ;-; )
I hope eventually you'll get used to drawing Leo, especially for a comic centered around him xD
