And the aforementioned T-Rex skeleton, that I definitely didn't almost forget to post. Haha
#rottmntfanart #tmnt03fanart

Some (spoilery) trauma!
#rottmntfanart #tmnt03fanart

And a Halloween chapter-
#rottmntfanart #tmnt03fanart

There's also 'Double-mutated Donny vs. Glowing babies'
#rottmntfanart #tmnt03fanart

Line art, sketches, dragons, and a trex skeleton ahead-
#rottmntfanart #tmnt03fanart

This is actually the first fic I read, and drew for, that's by this team of authors. Which I haven't regretted!
#rottmntfanart #tmnt03fanart

y'all should read this fic, or one of the many others the authors have written! They're both great authors, with fantastic world building and a phenomenal grasp on the characters!
#rottmntfanart #tmnt03fanart

It's a super cute crossover between alicat54c's version of the Rise tots and amevello-blue's version of the 03 series. There's drama! Sibling bonding! Gay romance! Interdimensional existential beings locked into an eternal struggle!
#rottmntfanart #tmnt03fanart

Well, does @amevelloblue.bsky.social and alicat54cwriting have the fic for you! 'Double Rainbow (Beyond Space and Time)'.

*late night infomercial voice* Do you like Turtle Tots shenanigans? How about turtle tots hanging out with their interdimensional counterparts? With a healthy dash of chosen family?
Of course you do!
(from April of '24, holy ancient shit)1/?

And finally, Reinforcements! Spooky Cave (Hidden City) edition. Featuring April, Caseys Sr. And Jr., Draxum, and Sunita, who then commit assault against the elementals.
#rottmnt #rottmntfanart

More sketches of when Leo came out of his extended severe panic attack, promptly fell through the bed and slammed into the floor. And REINFORCEMENTS! Casey Sr. needs to test out whether Leo really is invisible and intangible.
#rottmnt #rottmntfanart

The sketch of the sunset render from above- the turtles, April and Casey Jr. all look towards the right, admiring the view. Except for Leo, the closest to the left and the camera, who is admiring his family's joy and wonder at seeing the view.

Leo had a Real Bad Time in spooky cave, and needed a hand, so Donnie (who can touch Leo, but not see or hear him at this point) is carrying him. Everyone else is nervous, sweaty, and tired as they've been trekking through the desert and canyons unprepared. April is flopped over Raph's shoulders as she injured her ankle earlier.

Ancient sketches where I hadn't nailed down how to draw the turtles in my drawing style be upon ye!
#rottmnt #rottmntfanart

Raph carries Leo's soulless body out of the alley, while Mikey and Leo's 'soul' look at the crater they found him in.

Assorted scenes from the fic: Raph hearing Leo after days. Mikey seeing Leo and having a heart-to-heart. Donnie giving shell-rubs on the roof. Leo loses his voice, and is having a real bad time after coming out of spooky cave in Arizona.

This story seems to be (rightly) pretty popular in the fandom, but rundown in case you don't know it: After the kraang, the turtles are turtle-ing and Leo gets his soul cursed outta his body. Shenanigans ensue!
#rottmnt #rottmntfanart

Leo uses the power of family to activate his ninpo in order to portal to (right image) Arizona! Where there's bonding moments in the sunset.
#rottmnt #rottmntfanart #tmnt #tmntfanart

For 'IMBI', and some of my first for Rottmnt overall.
Featuring (in addition to me trying out like. So many different rendering styles) The turtles find something upsetting in the alley, and give Leo an existential crisis by demonstrating intangibility.

Back with more ancient sins for Dandy's (dandylovesturtles.tumblr.com) 'I May Be Invisible, But I Still Look Good' (href.li?https://arch )- this time from November of 2023! Even more ancient-er sins! My first-

POV you are the villain in the last act.
#rottmnt #rottmntfanart #tmnt #tmntfanart

Last is Leo's perspective as he's looking up at his overjoyed family, once he gets back into his body.
Dandy's writing is so much more impactful than what I got here, so like! If you haven't, go read their works!
#rottmntfanart #rottmnt

Here's Raph trying to squeeze through a narrow cave passage, and Leo walking through the cave walls. And then Casey Sr. getting one last punch in on an elemental.
#rottmntfanart

Mikey and Donnie playing catch with the cursed amulet, and Raph is busting out of a dome made of rock. And then this last one, which did Not happen. But I thought would be funny if it had -April accidentally letting the baseball instincts take over when being tossed the Leo ball.
#rottmntfanart

(Partially Rendered; a blue glitchy Leo, holding katanas solidifying from his ninpo, turns and looks over his shoulder. Behind him is a wall of pink-magenta flames being pulled up by the big bad.)

Leo's family and friends are seeing him (previous image) for the first time in days. While also beating up some elementals. (Pencil Sketch)

Leo activated his ninpo after a character arc, just in time for the final battle!
#rottmnt #rottmntfanart

when your cursed brother yeets himself off an overpass and through a van's roof and the artist won't draw cars. (A partially rendered set of drawings featuring a blue, glitchy Leo falling through the roof of a moving vehicle, while an upset Mikey crouches on the roof. It's night, raining, and lights are zooming past at high speed.)

In a similar vein, here's some sketches and less polished works also from 'IMBI'(archiveofourown.org/works/429967...) because I think I made at least 3 posts of art over the years, and regardless of my skill, Dandy's works deserve attention.
#rottmnt #rottmntfanart #tmntfanart

A colored and rendered comic adaptation of a scene from chapter 2 of "I May Be Invisible". Raph is hitting a punching bag, while Leo walks in and watches him. Raph cannot see or hear Leo. They're both upset, with Raph's knuckles splitting open and bleeding, and tears gathering in his eyes over the panels. Leo begins to sit down, as Raph stops punching, and falls to his knees, crying in earnest. Leo turns around to give Raph some privacy, and talks to Raph, who eventually curls into himself and unknowingly rolls into Leo. Dialogue is taken from chapter 2 of "I May Be Invisible, But I Still Look Good", Leo is the only speaker, and reads as follows: "Well, the good news is, Donnie's wrong about this one." "I know it looks bad. Donnie's not wrong about that, I mean, I saw the EEG, I know it's..." "It looks bad." " But... thanks for sticking up for me in there." "Don't give up on me, big guy." "I promise I'm doing whatever I can think of to get back to you." "I wish I could talk to you. I wish I could tell you not to worry. I mean, I know you'd worry anyway, but at least you'd worry a little less." "You don't deserve this, Raph. I wanted to take some of the weight off your shoulders, but I messed it all up again. And now you're having to deal with it, just like we make you deal with everything, and I'm just... I'm so sorry." "At least, do me a favor, and talk to Dad? Or April, or ... Or someone." "Not Donnie, obviously, that could Not have gone worse. But you don't need to deal with this on your own. I hope you don't deal with this on your own..." "Sleep, big guy. I'm with you, I promise. I'm not going anywhere. "

Here's the whole piece from chapter 2 of 'IMBI' (archiveofourown.org/works/429967...); context is that Leo is cursed out of his body, intangible, and unable to communicate. And well. His family doesn't know about the curse. And Donnie's been running some tests...

This! Ancient comic art that I'm inflicting on blue sky now.

So I read 'I May be Invisible, But I Still Look Good' (archiveofourown.org/works/429967...) by dandy (www.tumblr.com/dandylovestu...) like. 37 times- it's literally one of my favorite fics. And they, very kindly, gave me permission to make~
(next reply)

I am gonna get so much use out of this meme. More Rottmnt art, this time from January 2024!

Well, that's the last of the 2023 Winter Bingo sets. Please check out everyone else's works on tumblr (linked in the first post of the thread); everyone did a good job and made some super fun works for this and other events hosted on the same account.

I'm including some in-progress shots as well, without the rain and lighting layers, so that the image is a little easier to see.
#tmnt #tmntfanart #tottmnt #tottmntfanart #tmntmutantmayhem

Tried out Mutant Mayhem for this last entry.
The prompt was weather; I figured maybe if you've lived most of your life underground, being out in the rain, in the day, and seeing a rainbow might be a rare experience.
#tmnt #tmntfanart #tottmnt #tmntmutantmayhem #tottmntfanart

Any little moment you can relax would be precious in such a future, I'd assume.
