[I.D. Digital lineless drawing of an original iteration version of TMNT Bishop. The art itself is composed of jagged shapes. She is a white woman with short blonde hair wearing a hot pink suit, a peach formal shirt, and red sunglasses. Her face is in profile, but she looks at the viewer with a slight smirk. The background is blood red. End I.D.]

see i could explain the actual lore behind Bishop wearing this specific outfit, or i could simply not do that because i'm tired and was gonna post this like 4 hours ago

[I.D. Digital drawing of TMHT Bishop from an original TMNT iteration. She is a white woman with pale blonde hair in a buzzcut, wearing a dark grey buttonup shirt rolled up to the elbow. She holds her sunglasses off to the side, raising an eyebrow and smiling as she quotes a tumblr post and says "ladies ladies please; i have no redeeming qualities" end I.D.]

finally got around to giving her a hair cut lol

[I.D. Digital phone drawing of an original iteration version of TMNT Bishop. She is an older blonde white woman with short hair in a white long sleeve shirt, looking off to the side as she rolls up one of her sleeves. She has one forearm prominently displayed to show a tattoo, with a sequence of small chess related icons--crown for king, crown for queen, stylized horse head for knight, and bishop--surrounded by a pattern of chess squares down in white that reaches from about her wrist to just before her elbow. End I.D.]

concept sketch of a tattoo I'm considering for Bishop. Idk how much I like it but it does have the benefit of being easy to draw? I should give her more tattoos though lol. Maybe on her shoulder or back or something idk

[I.D. Colored sketch page of an original iteration version of Bishop from TMNT. She is a woman with pale blonde hair, wearing a dark grey suit. In the largest drawing, her full body is shown. She has a wide stance and a hand on her hip, and is wearing sunglasses. She frowns slightly. The drawing above that is of her hand, labeled "Left hand has crooked pinkie". Next to that is a bust of her without the sunglasses, showing bags under her eyes. It's labelled "looks tired. is tired." The last drawing is one of her with sunglasses on, hands raised as she yells in frustration: "What do you mean the turtles escaped again?!" End I.D.]

TMHT version of Bishop! She's sort of the handler/overseer for the turtles, and has been basically since they were created. Between managing their training, their general education, and eventually their public image, she's got a lot on her plate. Her first name is probably Joan.

the amount of au bishop's i have at this point is rather amusing we got:

high school au (like if canon never founded the epf and had chronic pain and a drinking problem and his day job was dealing with dozens of teenagers)

supervillain au (has superpowers and a family he abandoned)

fantasy au (knockoff pinocchio with no free will)

dragon au (dragon)

bishop is a shit dad au (found a teenager and decided to treat him like a weapon, enough said)

general fast forward stuff that isn't really a proper au (only medicated person here)

my iteration bishop (not technically an au bishop but they let her be part of the club)

my rise bishop (looks like he's 20 so none of the others take him seriously he is not part of the club)

and oh yeah can't forget casey jones jr (headcanon/lore nonsense)

and honestly I wouldn't be surprised if there's more I'm forgetting or haven't talked about recently. in my mind they are in a white void having petty arguments

hm. have decided that my iteration bishop should get chess themed tattoos but idk where or what they should look like

[I.D. Digital drawing of an original iteration version of TMNT Bishop. She is a fairly muscular woman with short blond hair, shown from behind with one hand on her hip and the other simply hanging down. Her expression is nuetral, if a bit worn-looking. She is wearing the outfit that Fast Forward Bishop wears: a white dress with black bands at the base of the sleeves and skirt, a high collar, and a black cross shape that reaches from her left shoulder to the dress hem. It has a slit going up to her hip, with a red interior revealed by the slit. The dress is worn over somewhat shiny black leggings that merge into shoes and cover her feet. End I.D.]

(rubs my hands together) okay time for some Bishop lore. Like 03 Bishop, she's functionally immortal, though for very different reasons. Her existence is more... vampiric in nature I guess? She essentially 'feeds' off of the memories of the people around her to survive. She's just lucky she'd managed to get her... abilities... under control before the EPF found her, otherwise they would have killed her instead of taking her on as an agent.

watching 2003 and seeing like two episodes with Bishop in them is fun cause it helps me figure out my version of Bishop for my iteration more and how they contrast, like for 2003 Bishop his goal (so far) is using the turtles' DNA to create super soldiers, meanwhile my iteration's version created the turtles as super soldiers
