Finally got some motivation after looking at an unfinished doodle.
It's still about the turtles because that's what my life has become. The Mutant Mashup Au just isn't leaving me alone so I decided to post lil doodles about the smarties of the family and some explanations too.
The first two doodles were drawn with Nico and Purple's rocky relationship in mind and what that might look like.
Nico is kinda nervous cause he doesn't really know why Purple became distant and doesn't want to make things worse. He hopes that at least Metal Head and Shelldon will get along.
In the second one Purple is angry and turns away from Niccolo, though it mostly serves as a mask to cover up his insecurities. He's not even sure who he's mad at, himself or his cousin. Nico turns away even though he doesn't want to. He wants to fix whatever broke between them, but he knows Purple isn't in the mood for a chat, so he leaves him alone.
Third and fourth doodle is just Nico having a stress headache and DaVinci helping to make it easier. I imagine holding the entire family together by remaining calm is a lot to ask for, even more so if you're also the person everyone goes to when they wanna vent. In a way, Nico takes on a role similar to Red. They both try to be strong enough to carry their family, Red takes on the physical burden and acts as a shield, as he believes that's what he's good at. While Nico carries the emotional burdens of the Hamato's. In this scenario, Orange is the one pushing everyone to work though their issues so thankfully, Nico doesn't get stress headache's often.
The rest of the doodles are just some happy moments between Purple and Niccolo. They probably happen after their heart to heart moment while in the clutches of Big Mama and the Purple Dragons.
If you read all that, thank you!!! Stay safe!!
I've been doodling a lot of turtles lately. These are the results.
Just some Rise boys, specifically, the Mutant Mashup boys. I started off with Donnie in like a crouching pose for funsies but thought soon after, "huh, what if I just practice drawing his expressions from the show?" Now look at em.
Some musings below the cut if you wanna read.
Their markings aren't set in stone, I can't decide between diamonds for Raph or something closer to those concept ninpo markings on Twitter for him. Leo is already pretty decked out with markings so not much to add there. Aside from maybe two more stripes that grow up to the corners of his mouth as he ages, or maybe extra stripes on his legs, Leo's pretty much set. Mikey's in the same boat, though I like to add extra spots for flavor. I had a little more fun with Donnie's marks. I liked the thought of him having a mark over his nose, it kinda looks like a bandaid which I enjoy. Plus I gave him some marks on his face that kinda match Leo's y'know, disaster twins and all. I intended to give him a mark on his neck for his "unemotional bad boy image," but I kept forgetting to add it and just decided to scrap it.
Since I shared the Rise kiddos, I'll just add the 2012 boys. Consider it an early reference for their face markings.
These boys I didn't use references for so they are off model quite a bit. The doodles were only meant to show their markings anyway so they'll do for now.
Since these boys are technically quadruplets, I decided to give them matching/mirrored marking placements and all their markings relate to their elemental ninpo. DaVinci's got a cloud on his right cheek which is opposite to Sanzio's, who's got a fire mark on his left cheek. Niccolo's got a splotchy marking on his right eye, completely opposite to Simoni's lightning bolt mark on his left eye. I'm not totally sold on Simon's eye mark and am probably gonna tweak it a bit.
Also, I didn't realize it but Zio and Nico have the same smile. Same with Vin and Simon.
Final note: I do still want to make them look like TMNT 2012 to an extent, so more practice and more references to come.
That should be all, I've got a few doodles that I wanna explain in another post but they gotta wait until I'm more rested. This one was just an explanation.
Stay safe y'all!!
Some old doodles from last year's sketchbook! I thought it'd be funny if Niccolo was the epitome of a buff nerd in the Au and genuinely didn't realize his own strength until this moment.
Red is excited at the possibility of a new sparring buddy and Zio just lost a 20 dollar bet.
He would've said something much more vile but Big Red was in the room soooooo-
Their relationship is everything tbh. I love sibling dynamics in media and Megaman is no exception, I just wish we got more family moments with the Light Numbers. The comic's got some, but I wish we got more in the games more than anything.
Also, this particular issue made me laugh uncontrollably for a second cuz apparently, "playing rough" in the Light family means public destruction.
(I'm aware that they were doing demolition work but still)
I really like the emphasis on Rock and Roll being kids and being siblings. Both because of how sweet they're relationship is, and because the series will totally use it to hurt me down the line.
Oop, my bad!
I genuinely didn't mean to worry you! I was busy visiting family from out of town, and I ran out of pages in my sketchbook too, so I couldn't draw my boi.
I have a new doodle book now so more posts like this should be coming out more often!
Just thought of something for the boi's.
Whenever Purple gets sick, he tries to power through it and usually goes straight to working on one of his projects. Von Ryan over here hates getting sick, everything feels awful, his nose is congested, and the increase in temperature makes him feel gross. Not a great time in his humble opinion.
Luckily! He gets caught by the Medic Duo-
This time Sanzio caught Blue eating his snacks and proceeded to give chase until they both heard Purple sniffle. It's all good though.
They make a great team when the fam needs help.

NAH BUT LIKE-
@sm-baby HOW WERE YOU RIGHT????-
Ooooh!!!! New Aibel!!!! He looks so neat!!!!
Love the grucho glasses too, he looks really funny. I've got my own take on Abel, it's dis guy:
Not as much a creative toy theme like yours but I like how he looks.
They'd get along just fine I think.
My take on Caine's brother
I think other people called him AiBel, so I don't take credit for it. I've seen the card head Abel though, and even though I really like that concept, I wanted mine to be more expressive and keeping the idea of being a toy or object like caine, so I went with the glasses and mustache disguise, I think it fits the theme!
Here are those doodles I promised, just more interactions between cousins as well as two doodles with April and May.
Mutant Mashup post this time around, it's been a while ๐๐๐
Anyway, I've been thinking about the missing sisters from rottmnt. Technically they'd also exist in the Au and I have some headcanons for why they'd be older than the boys. Includes a LOT of thoughts about what their inclusion means for the rest of the Au
Lots of words below the cut, but also some Mutant Mashup doodles as a reward for all the reading
Draxum is a scientist, so that would mean that he probably had some experiments with the ooze before the Hamato's. Probably meant to test if it was safe or not. Maybe he got his hands on some left over DNA from Lou or Yoshi and afterwards just decided that it was better to have the actual humans present.
However! If Draxum did mutate the girls before the boys, then how did Frida end up with Big Mama? How did the other sister (she never got a name but was most likely named after a female artist) end up in a whole nother dimension? Draxum doesn't seem like the kind of character to just give away his experiments, or view them as just weapons (that's also not the kind of character I want him to be in this Au). He may not be the best person, but he does genuinely care about Yokai and wants the best for them. That would extend to his creations, especially if they were indeed animals before they became mutants.
So what happened to the girls? Since they were likely mutated before the Hamato's entered the picture, Draxum likely kept them while they were still small. Of course, tiny turtle tots getting into trouble is nothing new. Maybe they got into some portal shenanigans, leaving the unnamed sister to be whisked away into another dimension while leaving Frida in the streets of the hidden city to be found by Big Mama.
It's also possible that the girls were separated during Lou and Yoshi's escape. There was a lot of noise and panic that would have scared both girls into doing everything they could to escape.
Either outcome leads to some great story potential for Frida and the lost sister. Definitely leaving some unresolved trauma for Frida and would explain her serious yet subservient personality. She doesn't want what happened to her sister happen again, but doesn't trust herself to make her own decisions for fear of it happening again. When she finally gets to know the Hamato's properly and comes to trust them, Frida spills the beans and tells them about their long lost sister. What she was like as a child and how Frida sent her away, it was an accident of course, but Frida still holds a large amount of guilt and self loathing. I'm debating whether Frida should be the older of the two because of this story line.
The missing sister's name is also up for debate but it was confirmed that she was named after a female artist like Frida was. Artemisia, Angelica, and Sofonisba are some of my picks but I'm leaning towards Sofonisba for the sole reason of the woman being from the Italian Renaissance. Lou would've known that the Renaissance era was Yoshi's favorite period in art and would've picked a name from there to honor Yoshi. I'll call her Sofonisba or just Sofo, it's a hassle typing "the unnamed/missing sister" all the time. The other names are still great picks though.
So, Sofonisba was stuck in another dimension and was described as "kooky" by the writers, not a lot to work with but it's what we got. Going off Frida's mistake, Sofo probably doesn't have a lot of memories of her childhood beyond Frida and maybe small snippets of Draxum. She has gotten comfortable in the dimension she lives in, even if it's a little dangerous. I don't wanna say that she got stuck in Dimension X, but that would be just the kinda place for her to go to. That also leaves room for Sofo to relate to Mikey and Blue to an extent. All three of them were transported to another dimension and had to deal with foreign entities trying to kill them constantly. Unfortunately, with the time dilation, that wouldn't be possible. Sofo would likely outlive the family if they did manage to figure out she was stuck in Dimension X.
Maybe instead of Dimension X, she got sent to a very similar one? We could also get rid of the time dilation in Dimension X entirely. It kinda removes the Savage Mikey episode from TMNT 2012, and the baggage of implications that comes with that, but that could lead into a different story beat. Reminding Vin, Zio and Nico that Simon IS capable on his own and doesn't need to be babied or treated like a responsibility. That might spark some resentment from their cousins, specifically Purple and Orange, who are also treated as more delicate to varying degrees.
Anyway, back to Sofo. I'm unsure of what to do with her character, but I do have an idea. Taking a bit of inspiration from Puss and Boots for this one, what if she was a thrill seeker at heart? She loves adventure, is a good fighter, and comes off as a little cocky sometimes. But underneath all that, one thing remains true, Sofonisba is incredibly lonely. She never had anyone around that was in her corner growing up. All she had was the memories of a little turtle she called her sister. Sofo never really had anywhere she felt safe enough to consider home. She didn't have a family before. So when she meets the Hamato's, she's thrown for a loop.
Sofo comes off as "kooky" partly because she isn't used to living in the dimension she originally came from, but also because she doesn't know how to be part of a family. She's not used to having people care for her or having a place specifically for her. She masks a lot of her trauma because she doesn't trust the turtles quite yet, even though she desperately wants to. Years of living in isolation leads to Sofo being overtly self reliant and unwilling to receive help from others, yet still craving companionship.
That leaves her in a situation similar to DaVinci and Red, who are both terrible at asking for help.
There's more to talk about with these girls. I didn't even cover my thoughts about the other experiments Draxum could have had. More long lost family? Possibly. But! That's enough for now, I'll type more ideas when I get my thoughts together.
Enjoy some doodles!
These are hands down, the best names I have ever personally heard in my entire life.
thereโs got to be at least one trans woman named eve out there whose deadname is adam. and sheโs the funniest person to ever grace this earth with her presence.
@possumsarenice look at this-
Why is this so good???
I have waited ALL FUCKING YEAR TO POST THIS
Santa is coming tonight.
A-
Possum-
My pal-
I know you mean well but I might combust-
Thank you again that's a very huge compliment to me.
@sillyandquest Itโs your boy!! Iโve been wanting to draw him for so long but I kept getting distractedโฆ sorry. But he was really fun to draw! Iโm probably gonna draw him again. Also side note, I ADORE the animal-tamer reference!
Oh ma ga-
I was reading something before this and was so surprised cuz I did NOT expect this!!!!!
Genuine happiness, thank youuuuuโจโจโจ

How da heck did I not see this???? That looks so good???????
I was listening to an edgy song and remembered โpuppeteer Gaggleโ from @sm-babyโs Carnival AU, and and got an idea
Iโm planning on making a digital version thatโs a bit moreโฆ intense but have this for now
Bonus:
If you canโt make it out Gaggle is saying โI had a bad day, so blorbo had to suffer lol (dw Iโll write some fluff when he respawns)
Omg this is actually super neat!!!! The LORE implications are makin' me think.... Hope Aible gets restored someday too, I'd love to see what he used to look like and I'm a sucker for redemption endings.
What if Able was the first to get abstracted?
What if Caine had a co-ringmaster named Aible (AI-ble), but got jealous because the devs liked Aible more, so he messed with the code to corrupt him and make him unusable.
He says "The only thing I don't have control over are your minds." which means that he can't cause or stop a player's abstraction because he doesn't know how the human brain functions. But an AI similar in design to him would be easier to understand, and in turn manipulate.
What if Aible realized it only after Caine did?
What if Caine regrets it?
Ma boiiiiiโจโจโจ
Thank youuuuu. I was happy the first time I saw the drawing but THIS-
I did a colour version for my able, @sillyandquest able, and @sm-baby able.
Haven't mentioned that Mutant Mashup AU in a while, might as well bring something up that I've been stewing over for ever since I saw this YouTube video by skulltrot.
It's a really good analysis on Leo and why he does the things he does in the movie. It even explains a few minor details you might've missed during a first watch, as well as a few other details that are mentioned in the series.
After watching this video I've seen Rise Leo not as an overconfident teen whose goofy for personal amusement, but an insecure kid who covers up that fact by telling jokes.
I'll explain more on Blue's character in the Au under the cut so you don't have to read it if you don't want to, but just as a reminder.
2012 gang's nicknames are:
Leo = DaVinci
Raph = Sanzio
Donnie = Niccolo
Mikey = Simoni
Splinter = Yoshi
April = May
Casey has the same name.
Rise fam's nicknames are:
Raph = Red
Donnie = Purple
Leo = Blue
Mikey = Orange
Splinter = Lou
Casey = Cass
April has the same name.
Now for Blue's character. I'm gonna focus on his insecurities here, as well as a bringing up his relationship with his brothers and cousins.
In the Au, Blue lives with his brothers and lives a few tunnels away from his cousins so there's plenty of interaction between them all. However, that also means that Blue picks up on his family's talents quickly and feels very insecure by the time the Au begins. Similar to canon, Blue doesn't tell anyone about his insecurities, using jokes to hide what's going on beneath the surface. It's hard for Blue to be vulnerable, even in front of his family. This was partially influenced by this father and uncle's relationship with each other, as well as how they treat Blue himself.
Yoshi and Lou absolutely care for Blue and don't want to see him hurt, it's just that they have so many other turtles to look after that sometimes Blue gets overlooked. He's not the only one either, Purple, Sanzio, Niccolo, even Simoni get overlooked from time to time. It also doesn't help that Blue's father has a habit of ignoring his issues through TV and other distractions. That meant Blue didn't get as much emotional availability from Lou as he should've growing up. Leading to Blue's lack of communication with his father, it just feels awkward at this point because Blue doesn't know if his dad will take his issues seriously.
Yoshi was a little different as he saw Blue growing up to be just like Lou and was worried Blue would turn out that way. That's why despite both sharing a similar sense of humor and getting along well, Yoshi was harder on Blue than the rest of his nephews. That led to Blue feeling like his insecurities were a weakness he needed to fix and feeling uncomfortable bringing them up to Yoshi.
Blue also doesn't like to bring his insecurities up to his brothers.
Blue noticed Red taking care of the family alongside DaVinci when their Dad and Uncle would fight. He understood, even at a young age, that something was wrong and that Red and DaVinci were stressed out over it. That's partly why Blue doesn't want to tell Red about his issues. He feels like Red already has enough on his plate and doesn't want to add more or feel like another burden his older brother needs to shoulder. Red and Blue do still tease and prank each other, as siblings do, but when it comes to internal issues that need to be addressed, Blue hesitates.
Purple is a different story because emotions are hard for him to get right. He tries, but Blue doesn't want to make his twin feel awkward or uncomfortable if he can help it. Even if Purple can understand being overlooked sometimes by the adults in their life, Blue doesn't feel the need to explain if it means an awkward infodump.
Orange is the closest to understanding Blue but isn't fully aware of the extent of his older bros issues. Blue is fully aware of Orange wanting to help and Dr. Delicate Touch his way into solving the problem, but Blue doesn't like how pushy Orange can be. Orange has a lot of energy with a passion comparable to his cousin Sanzio, but that eagerness to help isn't what Blue wants. Especially when he wants to protect Orange and not burden him with his issues, similar to Red.
The absolute last person Blue would explain his issues to is DaVinci. While Blue looks up to his oldest cousin, he feels inferior in many ways. DaVinci is strong, confident, efficient in battle and projects and air of safety that everyone can feel just by being around him. Blue wants to be like that but feels like he can't, that he's too weak to ever achieve that level of strength. DaVinci is pretty much the object of Blue's insecurities. That's not to say they aren't close, they both love Space Heroes and spa days. They care for each other, it's just that Blue can't help but compare himself to his cousin and other family members.
Sanzio is in a weird place though. While he would absolutely relate to Blue's struggles and maybe even offer some really good advice, Blue just doesn't explain to Zio. Blue is fully aware that Purple and Zio have an agreement between them, not the specifics just that there IS an agreement, and doesn't want to mess up with what they've got going on. Eventually, Blue will learn to lean on Zio after a talk with both him and Purple.
Simoni is similar to Orange in that Blue doesn't want to bog Simon down with his issues. Simon is fully aware that Blue's got some stuff to work out and is super go with the flow about it. He's not gonna pressure Blue into explaining something he's not ready to talk about and is totally cool with providing distractions. Blue appreciates that and spends the most time with Simoni because of it. Blue likes to divert his attention whenever his self criticism, or boredom, become too much.
The only person Blue willingly explains his issues to at the beginning is his cousin Niccolo, even the ugly parts.
Nico is calm, gentle, willing to listen and not give any feedback unless asked for it. Blue doesn't want others to find the solutions for him, he wants to find them on his own. He knows his brothers mean well, but Blue feels weak when he finally gets vulnerable in their presence. Blue wants to feel in control of his issues and Nico understands that. To others, Nico's silent presence might feel like detachment, but he's always listening and that's what Blue wants.
The Hamato's hooman friends are in a funky middle.
The Jones' definitely aren't the ones Blue would go to for insecurity assistance. Him and Cass aren't close enough for Blue to ask her for help, plus I think he'd view her as friend by association. She's a little intense like Orange so that doesn't help her case. Casey may be good at keeping a secret, but that doesn't mean that he's good at keeping a secret from his friends. Blue likes his secrets kept as such. Casey Junior lands in that same boat where Blue doesn't want to burden him anymore than he already is. I mean, kid lost everything and is considered the lone survivor of a doomed future. Maybe Blue might ask if his older self had any self care tips but just very subtly.
The O'Neil's try to get him to open up in their own ways. Blue doesn't go to Kirby or Carol unfortunately because he had a hard time leaning on adults growing up. April definitely encourages him to talk to DaVinci about his issues mean while May asks him to talk to Red. Both do their best but Blue is stubborn and stagnates a lot of the time.
This was my initial reaction to seeing the first pic.
@fannele you genuinely had me squealing like a little girl omg thank youuuuu
That last doodle also bonked me in the noggin with the inspiration stick. Just my Abel offering some comfort in this trying time.
First comic? More likely than you think.
Hope you enjoy!!!
I draw the three Able, @sillyandquestโs Able and @sm-babyโs Able having a nice tea. I did give my Able a scar on his eyeball head since there is a good ending in my AU itโs the post TADC x IHNMAIMS AU.
Enjoy some more doodles! More under the cut if ya wanna look.
Finally got around to drawing @fannele's Able, he's largely based on: "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream". I drew Able if he somehow managed to be unabstracted. He's just a little lad looking for new coping methods cuz he feels bad for everything he put the cast through, and my Abel loves to help with mental health care!
Also drew an interaction between the three Able designs I've seen so far. Sorry for not asking if I could draw your little guy @sm-baby! Had an idea and the doodle was already half way there before I knew it. Hope it made you smile a little!
Short blip for my version of Abel that's deviates a little is that his Caine doesn't actually resent or feel jealous of Abel in anyway and actually adores his little brudder.
Drew some Abel and Caine doodles. Hope y'all enjoy!
I might color in the doodle at the top for funsies.
Is this gonna be a good or bad end au?
The Amazing Digital Circus finally got to me....
With that said, allow me to introduce you to the circus's very own...
Animal Tamer!!
Abel!
Aka, my own personal take on the speculation surrounding C&A.
There's biblical imagery in TADC if you look for it, especially when it comes to our beloved Ringmaster himself, Caine, who's believed to be named after the first murderer in the bible. That paired with the C&A logo that briefly shows up has led people to believe that Caine had a brother named Abel.
This is just what I think Abel would look like if he does show up in the future or at all. I imagine Abel's an AI, like Caine, but is surprisingly emotionally intelligent and ran the program that allowed humans to leave the circus. (Slight reference to @fannele's version of Able) If we follow the pilot, then something happened to him, but since Caine was described to be a silly guy by @gooseworx themselves, I don't think he had anything to do with it. (If he did it might've been an accident.) The programmers might have potentially removed Abel or accidentally deleted him for some reason, we can't know for sure.
Those are just my thoughts on Abel and whether it's right or wrong, I don't really care. I just like how this guy came out! I'll be honest though, I probably should've chosen a better pose that convey's Abel's personality a bit more. That and he just generally looks like Caine but with a different outfit and a different head. He low-key looks like if Caine wanted a to wear a very slight Sonic themed outfit.
Idk, I guess I just subconsciously wanted Caine and Abel to be twins. (Darn it ninja turtles you have invaded my brain even now!!).
Anyways. That's just my take, hope you like!
Poor laddies, they need assistance.

Honestly, even if your Caine feels regret over your Able's condition, my version of Caine still wouldn't like him. He can't quite understand emotions like Abel can, so my Caine doesn't trust your Caine very much.

If your Able never got abstracted then I think him and my Abel could be pals. My version of Caine would definitely like him and be WAY more accepting of your Caine.

Ooof, yeah, no. Our boy's would NOT get along. I'll be honest though, my Abel would probably lose the fight. He's a performer and while he is capable of fighting, he doesn't do it often. Your Able regularly uses torture methods which hurt Caine, they'd probably also work on my Abel.

(Slight reference to @fannele's version of Able) If we follow the pilot, then something happened to him, but since Caine was described to be a silly guy by @gooseworx themselves, I don't think he had anything to do with it. (If he did it might've been an accident.) The programmers might have potentially removed Abel or accidentally deleted him for some reason, we can't know for sure.
Those are just my thoughts on Abel and whether it's right or wrong, I don't really care. I just like how this guy came out! I'll be honest though, I probably should've chosen a better pose that convey's Abel's personality a bit more. That and he just generally looks like Caine but with a different outfit and a different head. He low-key looks like if Caine wanted a to wear a very slight Sonic themed outfit.
Idk, I guess I just subconsciously wanted Caine and Abel to be twins. (Darn it ninja turtles you have invaded my brain even now!!).
Anyways. That's just my take, hope you like!
I think my Abel would try to talk it out if he can. Though if he figures out that your Able had tortured the main cast, all bets are off. My version of Abel does feel conflicted about your Caine and would understand why your Able is lashing out like this, but he doesn't like that the humans are the ones that ultimately suffer for it.
Just as a side note, my version of Caine adores his little brother Abel so if he figures out what your Caine did then it's Chihuahua fight time.

Animal Tamer!!
Abel!
Aka, my own personal take on the speculation surrounding C&A.
There's biblical imagery in TADC if you look for it, especially when it comes to our beloved Ringmaster himself, Caine, who's believed to be named after the first murderer in the bible. That paired with the C&A logo that briefly shows up has led people to believe that Caine had a brother named Abel.

I can't think of anything for my version of Able beyond just him having a gentler voice that's not as extravagant as Caine's. Maybe Caleb Hyles?

Oh yeah, I forgot about that theory. Not the concept I'm going for with Abel but I still think it's valid theory nonetheless.

Glad you like the boi I had a fun time making him. The animal tamer theme was a small reference to Abel's original role in the bible, y'know a shepherd? (He herded sheep but shhh) The hoop for a head at first was to just to make him look different from Caine but I realized later that it could also be a reference to those hoops that big cats are trained to jump through in actual circuses. Believe it or not but if you pay attention, this Abel has the same heterochromia eyes Caine does just color flipped. One last thing about my version of Abel is that his relationship with Caine is a lot like responsible younger sibling and impulsive older sibling but both are the same level of chaotic silliness somehow.
I also like your Able too, he's a vengeful lil lad. But that's for a good reason so I understand why. Kinda wonder if Caine feels sorry or if the cast ever finds out. They'd be maaaad.
Would it be alright if I draw both our guys together?
