commissioned @cupcakeslushie to draw the moment in the apocalypse timeline when leo has to have his arm amputated :)

i always imagined it was an emergency situation and they didn’t have time to prepare, nor did they have any anesthesia (or the training to administer it properly, even if they did have it). so it was a very traumatic moment for him.

But at least we now have an explanation for how both Raph's shell and Donnie's battleshell got up on the wall haha. So glad to finally get to this part of the story and start wrapping up this arc! This is one of the few times I will fully color a panel but it felt necessary to capture the feel of the moment and Mikey's artwork! We do have ONE more update for this arc that will be from a completely different perspective... I'm very much looking forward to sharing it with you guys!

I also wanted to share a special song I had meant to post along with the earlier updates when Mind Raph and Leo are chatting. I have it in my Replica playlist but I'm adding it here because I feel like it captures the relationship between those two perfectly. The strings feel like a somber Leo while the wind instruments are more like a hopeful, almost ethereal Raph, ending with the strings trying to replicate the wonderful energy and joy the winds gave off even after the winds have been silenced entirely. It just feels like them to me and I would highly recommend rereading Leo and mind Raph's conversation with this song if you're in the mood for some feels.

Overall I don't have too much to add to this update considering how well Mikey states it... but I do think there's something to be said for the different ways people deal with loss depending on their relationship to the departed. Ghostbear and many of the survivors saw Raphael as a hero first and a friend/person second. I see this a lot in how people can put their heroes or even movie stars/influencers on a pedestal, but then lose sight of the humanity in those people and how their methods of praise might hurt those closest to the person or even the person themself. I think the best thing we can do is just remember that we are all human, we are all imperfect, and we are all deserving of love and respect both in life and death.

As always, thank you for joining me on this journey!

So happy to finally get this part out. The overall message of Rise has always meant a lot to me and making sure to incorporate part of it into Replica was essential! I really wanted to show the outcome of what happened in the flashback at the beginning of this chapter, so it's nice to have it come around full circle. The keen of eye might notice that I make a point of never letting Leo look directly at Mind Raph even while they're conversing. There were a lot of reasons for this, but it sort of boils down to this scene symbolizing how Mind Raph is more of an inner voice, rather than a physical manifestation and also Leo's own refusal in allowing himself to be vulnerable. ...Getting a little glowy though, Mind Raph...

As always thank you everyone for your patience with my slow updates!

Guess what's baaaaack?!?!?

I left @ambersonic96 for 5 minutes in a Magma improv session and came back to this concept.

A little thing that I did tonight. I’m trying to teach myself that it’s okay to simplify things. I had a lot of fun with this though! Leo’s having a rough time. Poor thing.
