This week's @weeklymagmas had the theme of Genre Swap. Normally, I end up throwing down whatever small pieces come to mind, but this theme gave me such a clear idea that I ended up working on a single bigger piece the whole weekend. I played around with rendering a bit and I really like how it turned out! I had fun adding in a bunch of smaller details, and a couple people seemed to really like my Mikey's piercings. I also really like them.
I decided on the Procedural Drama genre right out the gate. I watch a lot of medical and legal and police dramas, and it was super easy to fit each of the boys into the genre.
I'm a big fan of the medic Leo genre, so I put him in a medical drama. He works in a pediatric ward and lets the kids cover his prosthetic in stickers. Raph showed interest in the Hidden City police in the show so he gets to be a policeman with some modifications to the canon Hidden City police uniform. Cassandra Jones will one day take over the world with the power of the law, but right now she's taking a well-deserved nap. Donnie is a man of science, so he's a forensic scientist, I can imagine him in a setting like the Jeffersonian in Bones. And last but not least we have Mikey as a firefighter. He just fits.
I did plan this piece before the magma, and originally April was the one asleep under a law book before I switch it to Casey and had April come in with a baby Casey Junior cameo.
Plus an extra in progress sketch of Mikey cause I just like drawing him a lot.
