Hi there, you can call me Sterno. I am a traditional artist, animator (not professional, I just do it for fun), and fanfic writer. I often refer to myself using terms related to muscles so do not be alarmed :)
I am 17, and i go by any pronouns online. Most of my mind is occupied by ROTTMNT, but I also love anatomy, Game Grumps, TADC, other cool science things, cute animals, goated movies like The Lego Movie, Guardians of the Galaxy (Vol. 2 is the best one CHANGE MY MIND) & of course the ROTTMNT movie, other goated shows like Phineas & Ferb and Wild Kratts, and heavy metal music.
some Rise art here
I am also learning to speak Japanese, and I may make references to Japanese culture in my work in the future.

Questions? Comments? Just wanna chat?
Talk to me, I think I'm a decent person. Asks and messages are always open.
What happens when a person born to be evil finally follows their heart? Will they be able to truly escape their torment? Can they follow their dreams and find who they really are inside? Nevertheless, it would be a first.

i will use these and [#oc art] in art posts about taffe
(and commentary with April, after the date. Raph took all these photos. This is their second date ever)
April: Al, I just have one question. Why on earth do you look so baffled in this picture?
Al: Well... I've never partook in a "selfie" before. It's a bit confusing, the simple practice of taking a photo of yourself for the sake of it. If it makes Raph happy, which it clearly does, then... I don't mind. 's just a picture, I suppose. And he has a wonderful smile.
Raph: ... he was screamin' somethin' about... the government?? Spies??? We couldn't tell cuz we were too busy runnin'.
Aloe: That... scared me out of my mind. It definitely took us a few minutes to come down from that adrenaline rush. In fact, I put my hair down after this photo, it felt a bit too tight in that moment.
Raph: poor Al... he almost cried, if I remember right. But he's a tough guy, n' he managed to pull himself together. No rodent conspiracy theorist was gonna ruin our date-- I-I mean day!
April: Soooo...?
Raph: Ghhuhh... h-he's so pretty, I couldn't resist!
~~~
Al: Aww... I didn't know he took those. Especially not the one of me... it's a good photo. And the other one, oh goodness. It's adorable...
April: [laughter] you two are unbelievable.
Al: [snicker] What? Look at him! Can you seriously blame me?
meanwhile here's another size comparison between Raph and Al, just to show that Raph is indeed not twice as tall as Al. I know it looks like it. He is not. He is just gigantic.
I know I wrote 9'6" here but it's 9'7" guys frfrrr
he is my son and i love him. no due date for this, just draw my boi!!
Here's a personality description from another post of mine (ignore the eighth one, it mostly applies to adult Al since that post was about Good Future Al):
ps facts: donnie ranting about things and/or drawing with Mikey are some of the ways he grounds himself if he's having a hard day. He shares Leo's energy for rock music. He is dating Raph. He enjoys long days out with April, and visits her school sometimes for lunch breaks or something.
On that note... tag me when you are done, be creative, be funny, i know yall will do great! And most of all...
