#insect mutation au

[kaiga555]

He's finished ✨️✨️✨️✨️

I like his colors. I got lazy at the tail part (the one attached to him not the one to the side) and it shows. I'm proud of the wings.

Old version⬇️

*smacks this down on the table* I finished him TvT

I would've added a mini comic for him aswell but I didn't have room, and I just wanted to be done with him. I gave him a longer tail, four toes/claws on his feet, a rounder shell and markings. I just need to do donnie next...I'm not excited. I realized I need to figure pit his wings and battle shell...like how does he wear his battle shell? Should I just...delete his wings and put fake one on his battle shell? Should I put fake ones on and have his real ones be under the shell? Wouldn't that squish his wings?!...T^T anyways his bracelet is peices of his old teddy (if you seen the picture you know what I mean). It was originally a necklace but not any more! Raph was a struggle cause he's spikey.

Old version⬇️

...I forgot the bow on his tail! Dang it! Also for mikeys redraw I forgot his scars from his mystic powers...pretend they're there. Anyways for the art peice I mentioned earlier I will redraw it one day...after donnie. All colors are basicly the same and the black line around his lighter eye...ignore that I forgot to change it.

This is a little post on my au! Like a little intro... sorta. it's gonna be about the boys' current situation. Basically, they get double mutated into insects. Leo is an owl fly, raph is a stag beetle, donnie is a Mason bee, and mikey is a transverse ladybug. Leo is the fastest flyer, and raph is the slowest. Mikey is second slowest, and donnie is second fastest. Donnie sadly cannot sting people or he'll end up not being able to walk or fly due to the stinger being connected to his nervous system and that really bugs him. Leo ends up crashing into things alot when flying. And I mean alot. Mikey somtimes forgets he has wings and gets stuck in trees. Raph will get stuck in tight spaces due to thinking he'll fit into like for example between two trees but due to his size he'll get stuck. They will meet freinds along the way, and a few of those friends will be OCs.

I plan to do a redraw on their reference sheets though I don't know when lol. For now here is the reference sheets if you haven't seen them yet

I really like this redraw. After the kraang attack, he had to have a knee brace, so mikey had raph and donnie draw on it with him. He made a bandana with his brothers colors and embroidered his brothers initials on it. I think he knows how to sew and do embroidery. I gave him more markings cause I'm a suckered for details. I made a little comic on the bottom that adds to mikeys little picture of him stuck in a tree. There's a chance that donnies or raphs, whichever one is done first, will take a bit longer to do...mabye.

who's next?

donnie💜🐢

raph❤️🐢

Yall can have this sketch. I feel bad for not posting for a while (not the official sketch it'll end up changed and this post will be deleted once the official drawing is up)

I have no clue why it is transparent. I'm the background. Ignore it.

And here have this picture of teetle. Hes based off of a turtle rock i have.

Ok, sorry but, raphs redraw might take a while. My motivation is down...atleast for redrawing him. For my au's redrawing I've drawn them on paper and then colored them in my art app and I don't feel like looking for my notebook at this moment in time...so yeah...as an apology for that I give you swirls. They are the only picture in the ny art app that I found acceptable enough to post.

He lives mostly underwater, so his missing leg isn't a problem. He's a mix between a sea turtle and an axolotl. He has a deformity in his shell cause when he was younger, he got trapped in some rope and didn't know how to get it off till he was older, so is shell started growing around it. His weapons are some heavy throwing balls and a trident. He has 2 adopted children. 1 is ax, a smooth soft shell turtle, and the other is fleia, a bat mutant.

This is ribon. She lives in the mariana trench. She is about the size of shaqs entire hand. Where she lives the speices of mermaids there are known for literal naming. She didn't get her name till the naming ceremony at 1 years old where she picked what her defining feature or thing she would be known for. She chose a ribbon. When she was little she didn't have so many colors. Just orange hair, and red ribbons. As she grew her colors came in. Yes her teeth are supposed to be purple ish. Her bones are too. She has a older brother named saton. He chose a peice of satin fabric. And has satin shashes on him. They are from the fabeecs family. All people in this family choose types of fabric or ribbon or things like that. All baby's are born from an egg and all eggs are in the same place (like rainwing eggs are). Ribons speices of merpeople don't get very big. Ribon is one of the biggest in pack. Ribons speices of merpeople can reproduce asexually.

Yes i am posting ribon to distract yall from the fact I haven't finished my raph redraw TwT. I got the sketch done atleast lol.

I finished mikeys redraw!

The redraw ⬆️

Old one⬇️

His head is definitely better in this one lol. I forgot how to draw for a sec while redrawing hum. His sticker is ment to show the colors of his family (the circle sticker) I was trying to make his bandana ties big like I've seen in some other mikey art cause it's cute. I think I made them the same size as the old one lol. I made his wings to small as well but its fine. Looks nicer anyways. I forgot to add shading and lighting to the body thing under the elytra to differentiate the grooves. I really should've done some shading on the entire thing lol. Would look better.

Challenge: find all the hearts and tell me how many there are
