Young and "Old" Leo ref sheets
Extra notes: he went with the shaved underside to match with Donnie. Miscellaneous old small cuts all over his hands from sword trick attempts. His swords have nicks in them over time. Wore more serious, less frivolous clothing to try and make Raph see he's taking his job seriously. He moves too quickly for dog bites, most of his injuries are bullet holes or scrapes from bullet and laser shots
TMayNT Day 18: Human Version of The Turtles
Day 18 of @tmaynt Prompt: Human version of the turtles!
So these took a bit longer then i expected to, but most of that was due to trying to get the skin colors right! A lot of folks head canon the turtles as POC's, mostly in reference to RISE and MM. But I could really see that in about all of them honestly. So I hope this looks good!
(Side Note: Am whiter then sour cream guys, with the most color I have in my fam is Cherokee native on my sperm donor side. I'm using this as practice for more skin colors. Any tips and critique you might have would be nice.)
But, with that out of the way, I wanna talk a little about my thought process with these designs! I wanted to go with them being mixed race, mostly Asian with either a dash of African American or even Latino in there. And I was trying to lean more on the 2003 TMNT as my main inspiration for these guys! As well as a few headcanons younger me had when I was younger about what they would look like! So let's get into each one!
Leo: I knew that with him, I still wanted to give him a more obvious "Ninja" look to him! Especially since, they're humans in this AU and not Turtles, I don't think Splinter would be HAVING to teach his sons martial arts as they wouldn't really NEED to defend themselves. Still tho, seeing how much of a father's boy Leo is, I could see him wanting to learn from him anyway. Just out of principle. He's got dark bluish gray eyes, and keeps his long hair in a ponytail! I complete his look with a scar along his shoulder and cheek. (Perhaps a childhood accident. Rough housing too much with Raph.) I also sprinkle a few freckles on his shoulders too, cause...they cute! QvQ
Raph: Now, you know this kid is a little punk. He's defiantly the rebel of the family! I knew I wanted to give him a ripped vest from the beginning, and I added a scar on his face as well. (Probably from the same rough housing with Leo, idk.) Also, you will never convince me that this boy doesn't have a piercing, or maybe a tattoo somewhere hidden. (Splinter would kill him if he ever saw it, after all he nearly did after the piecing and died hair.) But, despite all the roughness, he's topped off with pretty green eyes, freckles, and a tiny little beauty mark right on his jaw.
Donnie: Oh my baby boy! He's defiantly the most plain looking out of his brothers. Plain purple sweater and glasses, he doesn't scream outrageous like Mikey! And why should he? He's too busy with building things in his spare time to give a shit about looks! Shown by the oil stains on his shirt, really messy hair he keeps in a low ponytail, and eyebags so big that if it weren't for his (Admittedly) pretty golden eyes, you'd think he only had dark sockets on his face. And of course, cute nerdy freckles pepper his face! (Cause I'm predictable!)
Mikey: By far the most colorful (and obvious) out of his brothers! Splinter wasn't too happy when he and Raph both decided to dye their hair and get piercings, but it sure didn't stop them! Mikey really wanted to embody the "Surfer Dude" look, and he sure pulled it off! Long Blonde hair? Check! Shark Tooth Neckless? Check! Rad Shades? Double Check! (Rarely actually worn tho, gotta make sure the Dudes & Dudettes see those beautiful bright blue eyes!) He also started carrying around a set of headphones that Donnie made personally for him!
Maybe I'll revisit these guys at a later date, cause I do really dig the designs! And I think they would make they're own neat little AU! (I may even toss my OC Sasha in there some day! Been wanting to make a few human versions of her anyway. Hell, in some versions she was a human starting out anyway. So tis very needed!)
Decided to draw my human versions again of the boys, haha. Wanted to try out what this screenshot could look like if they were just normal human teens, haha. Sooo, yeah, have them be at school now instead all of a sudden lol
One can only wonder what trouble they may have to face there now, heh.

Young and "Old" Donnie ref sheets
Extra Notes: young Donnie has back scars. He uses lofstrand crutches when his bones are having a bad day. His younger battle shell is more of an armored backpack. Older Donnie's cybernetic enhancements: replaced both of his eyes and ears(both were replaced after an injury regarding his goggles), his spine and shoulders to better connect to a battleshell, a new robotic tail, both arms after burns inhibited his work, and his left leg up to the mid thigh after a land mine accident(he was building the mine). He can project screens from his shoulders. His tail is connected to his spinal cord, and thus moves seamlessly like another limb. Internally he has replaced multiple bones and organs, some with ninpo due to metal shortages: including his teeth, multiple ribs, his collarbones, his liver, his right kidney, and half of his heart. His position as Lieutenant is in name and respect only, his aggression towards authority figures has barred him from serving what little military remains.
