I actually had SUCH a hard time picking. I also really wanted to draw him glowing but decided to go classic. A big secret about me is I'm a huge Leonardo girlie. This first prompt was such a 3 way tie for me between 87, rise, and 03 Leo but I picked 03 Leo ultimately. His emo era is so iconic.
Close up under the cut!
I wanted to draw Leo with eyes! I'm still watching the final season of 03 and while the eyes are jarring I do like that Leo has what seems to be green to bluish green eyes!
Day 2! I wanted to draw all the Aprils honestly. Couldn't pick between them!!! Had to break even and draw two
@tmaynt
Day 3 favorite henchmen! I wish Rise got to cook with her!!! I read so many notes about who she is and what she is meant to be. AGH, hoping for Rise to come back so she can be in the limelight.

Day 4
I was so excited for day 4 but couldn't get the motivation 😞 so I colored sketches!
🐢💙❤️💜🧡🐢
Here's some close ups!!!
Day 5
I'm really happy for day 5! Favorite/Best Leo!
Close-ups and my sketch!
Day 6!
Favorite mutant ally!
🦎🐢
I love Mondo Gecko from 87!
@tmaynt
He's so neat, in the show he's basically their brother! He was mutated the same day by the same mutagen. He just got taken!!! In this, they've made each other friendship bracelets.
THE SHOCK COLLAR!!!!
@tmaynt Day 7. My mind blanked and just genuinely think it's funny Donnie built his bro a shock collar to shut him up. That's such a Cain Instinct ass brother thing to do.
🗓️Day 7🗓️
🐢💜🚐 Best Turtle Gadget 🚐💜🐢
@tmaynt
Love Donatello, he's just a little guy.
I actually was so stumped on what to draw so I chose the silly little party wagon! Vehicles aren't my strong suit so enjoy a bunch of snippets from the show
Day 8: Favorite Ally + Dynamic @tmaynt
🐢🐰
🐢🐰
I clearly play favorites.
I just love leosagi as a dynamic.
Like in 87, they are these silly culture shock bros and they both miscommunicate so much. Usagi has tried to kill Leonardo a few times too but like it, was over honor and duty so they're cool.
Then with 03 they're basically just dating. They're in love. I mean who gets each other swords for Christmas? Them. And they're adorable for it.
With 12 it's more like Usagi is the only positive adult role model in his life. He's a cool, honor-bound, bodyguard samurai and he gives Leo a break and helps him and is just nice.
Rise they haven't met at all but that's ok. I just imagine it'll be a spectacular disaster. By technicality, Leo of Rise is a yokai and Usagi of the samurai chronicles is a Yokai hunter SOOOO...... Anyways I think they'd be besties (maybe even more 😏) just depends on how they meet.
Close ups!
I got done with my weekend trip so I'll be able to slowly catch up on prompts. 😂
MOTH BALL TEA
@tmaynt day 11. it should be known to everyone 1987 Splinter once fed Leonardo and Michelangelo mothballs to make them unbaby. He might be doing a little trolling (or is he?)
and 03 Splinter is just the GOAT like most of the TMNT 03 crew
❤️Day 9: Best Raph❤️
‼️♥️💪🐢💪♥️‼️
I can't just pick one!!!
@tmaynt
No close up this time XD
I got possessed, Rise Raph is basically like "do you ever accidentally hurt your brothers" and then they bonded. :) They're all besties now.
03 Raph and Leo always be beefing (they're siblings and the oldest so it makes sense)
87 Raph one time told Leonardo he thinks they need a new leader. He's SOOOO mean.
We all know what happened in the rise movie :)
They'd get along, that's the law.
🐢🤬‼️Day 10 Favorite Turtle Curseword ‼️🤬🐢
@tmaynt
"AW SHELL!"
"Dum Dums"
"Sewer Apples..."
"Cowabummer"
Close ups!
🐭🥋☯️ Day 11: Favorite Splinter ☯️🥋🐭
@tmaynt
I love this man. Have you seen 87 TMNT? He's simply so precious. A real sweet guy. A warm hearted softy.
There's an episode where a ray can demutate him and he personally destroys it to protect his turtles. There's an episode he showed up guns literally ablaze to save his boys. He calls the turtles "my turtles" or "my sons". There's also an episode where he cures the turtles by giving them moth balls and gaslighting them. He let's them call him 'Master Splinter' because that's their nickname for him because he's really good at splitting wood. There was an episode where Donatello made an anti mutagen and Splinter told them he'd rather stay with his boys. He's the ultimate found family dad.
🥰💕🥰💕🥰💕

👾🐢🚒 Day 12 Best Turtle Vehicle 🚒🐢👾
@tmaynt
I think 12 Donnie is so cute. He's less inventor and more mechanic. He's got the coolest aesthetic in all his inventions. It looks like trashcore meets steampunk meets apocalypse mechanic with a flair, because all his stuff is usually painted. I used to think Mikey got to paint his in creations but usually a lot of what he shows his brothers is a surprise so I think he graffitis his own stuff.
I don't like drawing vehicles but I made the effort for Donnie.
Close up!
💜🟣🍇🐢Day 13 Best Don! 🐢🍇🟣💜
@tmaynt
I had a lot of fun playing around with colors for this! DonTron of rise is my favorite Donatello. It was so hard to pick!!!
Close up and base color!
Leosagi truther 😌
the CEOs of Leosagi @tmaynt day (L)8
Day 14 Favorite Movie
@tmaynt
This is a scene from my favorite movie. I tried doing a black and white painting and then coloring it. I think it turned out so cool!! I hope you all enjoy your memorial day with family.
Close up and bw bonus!
☯️🥷Day 15: Best Karai 🥷☯️
@tmaynt
I love the 1987 design for Karai from the game TMNT Shredder's Revenge! I think the best Karai is actually 03 Karai and I think 12 Karai also has a really cool plot I just wanted to give the video game Karai some love!
Close-up!
🐢🦠💉⚒️🤖Day 16: Favorite Episode 🤖⚒️💉🦠🐢
@tmaynt
I couldn't pick a favorite episode but this one is a big topper! It's so cute!!! They're sick in the entire episode and they're all such babies I love it.
Close up!
Oh this…this…is darling. Your style is immaculate, hon. Like looking so respectfully right now 👀👀👀
I MUST HAVE IT ON MY DASH. *Yoinks it like the feral chaotic Tumblr I am* MWHAHA MINE NOW THANK YOU 🧡✨
TMayNT Day 31: Redraw of day one. (Original prompt was: the turtles in you favourite style.)
Ok there are so many ways my brain is trying to be critical BUT I am proud of myself for finishing one of these challenges, no matter what. I've tried and failed to commit to so many projects.
Just to clarify: my own style is NOT my favourite style. I am far too self critical for that. I just entirely ignored the prompt ^^
vvvv Comparison pic and comments on day 1 v day 31 below. vvvv
So for one thing I did want to de-centre Leo a bit, cause the original day 1 prompt was favourite turtle and I DO love them all, Leo just has a special place to me. I also wanted them to not be floating.
Now I do prefer some parts of the original, mainly the simplicity. I do want to try and aim for a more simplified style in the future (if I can stop defaulting to the style I have atm). I might have gone a little overboard with the lighting on the more recent one. STFU up brain, I did not get worse. But it was fun. I think it's good to explore and practice parts of the art process even if it isn't something you want to stick to. I do think I learnt a lot of stuff and made some improvements over the month.
also bonus cute Raph face that I liked from one of the first attempts but I ended up restarting
