At This Point I Just Wanted To Draw Donnie In Swanky Armour

At this point I just wanted to draw Donnie in swanky armour

Inspired by waiting in the wings reprise scene from the tangled series

Him <3

Ones hands can tell the story of how they’ve lived… and how far they have come.

I’m a sucker for Good Dad Splinter ever since I watched TMNT ‘03. That rat was gifted sapience and his immediate instinct was kindness. I love that for him.

Rise Splinter lived a rollercoaster of a life, but as a Hollywood star he remembered the names of all his stunt guys and coworkers, and as a prisoner he cared for the rat that shared his cell. His sons are very close and physically affectionate, I think that says something about how he cares? That’s just how I like to headcanon him :)

It’s interesting to explore the idea that a seemingly monstrous transformation is what pushed him to be a kinder human

Stumbled across an au fic by @onejellyfishplease and I couldn’t NOT draw fanart. The fic is called Open Your Shell To Find Your Wings by Jellyfish_Sandwich on ao3. It’s definitely worth the read!!

Sigh… I’m not entirely sure what this is supposed to mean but it exists now… I wanted to play around with styles and whatnot
