TMNT 2012 headcanons!!

Transfemme Leo, full name is Leonara

At some point during the Kraang invasion, somebody saw them and manged to snag a clear photo

That picture got around, leading to people discovering them

They remained unaware of this fact for several months until somebody recognized them on a mission

After discovering this, Leo began having regularly scheduled tea parties with the little girl from the Slash episode

That little girl's name is Emma

Additionally, after being discovered, the turtles began going to school

Mikey made a lot of friends in school

The episode where Mona stays on Earth is Canon, idc what the Wiki says

There are a shocking amount of mutants running about in New York City, ranging from anthropomorphic cats to feral rabbit-fox creatures

My Wings of Fire fantribe (Part 1)

Tribe name: WebWings

Royalty: Queen Maratus, Prince Huntsman, Princesses Sicarius, Arachnid, and Tarantula

Territory: The mountains of Pantala

Kingdom description: Large webs span across the areas between mountains. They are layered far enough apart to walk, but not enough to fly. Cave systems inside the mountains are used as houses, schools, and a palace. The main outdoor area is referred to as The Webs, and it is like a marketplace and popular hang out.

Colors: Main scales are typically shades of brown or black, with web patterns on the underside of the wings. May have different color patterns covering the body.

Body type: Small torsos with long, thin legs and necks. Rounded wings. Four extra arms that are noticeably smaller.

Extra information: Heavily based on spiders. Silk glands can be on the tail or near the snout - if they are on the snout, the dragon has mandibles, I'd the glands are on the tail, the dragon will have spinnerets. All WebWings have venom, which is injected through biting. Either eight or six eyes, depending on the dragon. Omnivores with a strong preference for bugs. Early WebWings are said to have been cannibalistic.

Dark black (on the face): Example of mandibles (not every dragon has these!)

Blue (tip of tail and behind mandible example): potential silk glands locations

Red (torso): small, extra limbs

Green (in mouth): venom fangs

(By the way, though I doubt anybody will want to use my WebWing design, if you do, please ask and credit me!)

TW: Sibling death

--

Sable ignored the tugging on her arm. She ignored the muffled, staticy voice telling her they have to go. It didn't matter. Nothing mattered except the shell laying in front of her.

The empty husk of the one she once held close. The bare, expressionless face and the lightless eyes that once held a vibrant gold glow. The small line of oil dripping from the frameless casing's mouth that had stained the dusky purple paint.

Her twin. Her dear, sweet twin. The one who knew her best. The only one Sable had called her packmate since coming online. Her beloved twin, her other half, was caught by a Husker.

The voice speaking to her became clearer as the shock wore off. So did Sable's grief.

"Sable, we have to go!" Lyra continued to tug on Sable's arm, trying to get her away from the shell of their packmate.

Sable stared at Maura's husk for a few more moments before wrenching her arm out of Lyra's grasp.

"No..." the lone twin muttered. "We're not leaving."

"I know you don't want to leave her, but it's not safe here," Lyra tried to reason. "I know you love her, but sitting here waiting for a Husker to find us isn't going to bring her back."

"...I can't leave her..." Sable once again muttered more to herself than to her last living packmate.

Lyra drew back from Sable. She just said I. She just said I.

"Sable..?" The red, imp-like android places a clawed hand on Sable's shoulder.

"We were one." The dusky-colored drone sits down on her knees in front of her identical husk. "And now we are none."

--

Wip of a story I might write at some point. For background, Sable and Maura were twin androids who had interlinked code, causing them to say things like "our favorite color" or "we're tired" instead of my or I.

Can't afford art school?

After seeing post like this 👇

And this gem 👇

As well as countless of others from the AI generator community. Just talking about how "inaccessible art" is, I decided why not show how wrong these guys are while also helping anyone who actually wants to learn.

Here is the first one ART TEACHERS! There are plenty online and in places like youtube.

📺Here is my list:

Proko (Free)

Marc Brunet (Free but he does have other classes for a cheap price. Use to work for Blizzard)

Aaron Rutten (free)

BoroCG (free)

Jesse J. Jones (free, talks about animating)

Jesus Conde (free)

Mohammed Agbadi (free, he gives some advice in some videos and talks about art)

Ross Draws (free, he does have other classes for a good price)

SamDoesArts (free, gives good advice and critiques)

Drawfee Show (free, they do give some good advice and great inspiration)

The Art of Aaron Blaise ( useful tips for digital art and animation. Was an animator for Disney)

Bobby Chiu ( useful tips and interviews with artist who are in the industry or making a living as artist)

Second part BOOKS, I have collected some books that have helped me and might help others.

📚Here is my list:

The "how to draw manga" series produced by Graphic-sha. These are for manga artist but they give great advice and information.

"Creating characters with personality" by Tom Bancroft. A great book that can help not just people who draw cartoons but also realistic ones. As it helps you with facial ques and how to make a character interesting.

"Albinus on anatomy" by Robert Beverly Hale and Terence Coyle. Great book to help someone learn basic anatomy.

"Artistic Anatomy" by Dr. Paul Richer and Robert Beverly Hale. A good book if you want to go further in-depth with anatomy.

"Directing the story" by Francis Glebas. A good book if you want to Story board or make comics.

"Animal Anatomy for Artists" by Eliot Goldfinger. A good book for if you want to draw animals or creatures.

"Constructive Anatomy: with almost 500 illustrations" by George B. Bridgman. A great book to help you block out shadows in your figures and see them in a more 3 diamantine way.

"Dynamic Anatomy: Revised and expand" by Burne Hogarth. A book that shows how to block out shapes and easily understand what you are looking out. When it comes to human subjects.

"An Atlas of animal anatomy for artist" by W. Ellenberger and H. Dittrich and H. Baum. This is another good one for people who want to draw animals or creatures.

Etherington Brothers, they make books and have a free blog with art tips.

As for Supplies, I recommend starting out cheap, buying Pencils and art paper at dollar tree or 5 below. For digital art, I recommend not starting with a screen art drawing tablet as they are more expensive.

For the Best art Tablet I recommend either Xp-pen, Bamboo or Huion. Some can range from about 40$ to the thousands.

💻As for art programs here is a list of Free to pay.

Clip Studio paint ( you can choose to pay once or sub and get updates)

Procreate ( pay once for $9.99)

Blender (for 3D modules/sculpting, ect Free)

PaintTool SAI (pay but has a 31 day free trail)

Krita (Free)

mypaint (free)

FireAlpaca (free)

Libresprite (free, for pixel art)

Those are the ones I can recall.

So do with this information as you will but as you can tell there are ways to learn how to become an artist, without breaking the bank. The only thing that might be stopping YOU from using any of these things, is YOU.

I have made time to learn to draw and many artist have too. Either in-between working two jobs or taking care of your family and a job or regular school and chores. YOU just have to take the time or use some time management, it really doesn't take long to practice for like an hour or less. YOU also don't have to do it every day, just once or three times a week is fine.

Hope this was helpful and have a great day.

AGHHHH THIS MAKES ME WANT TO SHIP THEM MORE THAN I ALREADY DOOOO
