#tmnt redesigns

[mangoartastrophe]

Normal Human AU designs for the 2012 turtles! Headcanons and AU details below cut!

In this AU they're all just normal highschoolers, no ninja bullshit, no Kraang, no foot, they get to be kids. These 4 were adopted by Hamato Yoshi after he lost his wife, and were raised alongside Miwa.

Design details:

- Donnie is 6"0, Leo is 5"7, Raph is 5"5(and mad about it) and Mikey is 5"3.

- Made it so Leo and Raph resemble each other more, like their og designs.

- All for are wasian but the white half hit Donnie and Mikey way harder.

Headcanons for each character:

Raph

- wears chunky boots to compensate for his height

- Takes the best care of his hair out of the 4, he's kinda vain abt it. I like the idea bc it contrasts his tough guy shit

- Gym rat, clearly

- Guns are ALWAYS out, unless he's wearing a leather jacket

- He's in a band, plays drums

- Tags and graffitis, does art for fun. His tag is Sai

- Member of the hockey team, its how he befriends Casey

- Everyone that isn't friends with him is scared of him.

Leo

- Handsome pretty boy, the girls and the gays love him.

- Ran for president of student council at Splinters suggestion, he won.

- 70% of his clothing is space heroes merch.

- Fairly popular and well known

- Silver medalist karate champion

Donnie

- Best student in their entire school, but MOST of his grade is carried by his contribution to their research department. His ass sucks at the social studies and humanities.

- Nobody knows who this man is, he's always doing labwork

- Paid internship at TCRI. TCRI is a shitty and corrupt company, but Donnie is a fantasti asset and they do EVERYTHING in their power to keep him off their ass and complacent.

- Bros got eyebags for days and is high on caffeine

Mikey

- Fairly popular and well liked just like Leo! Except he cant remember most ppls names, so he makes up nicknames

- Always invited to parties, he and Leo take Donnie and Raph as their plus one cuz ppl dont usually invite them

- Bros got adhd and it is uNMEDICATED, he does not do well at school

- No one bullies him, people knows he has ties to Raph and people are too scared of Raph.

General Headcanons:

- The four barely look like each other, so even though they have the same surname ppl dont think they're related. They assume its a freaky coincidence

- They all have their own friendgroups at school, but they always hang out outside of school. The other 3 have to drag Donnie with them

- They've got a bunch of pets at home. Namely 4 pet turtles named Sai, Bo, Chuck, and Tana, a rat named Splinter, and a snake called Karai. Raph is their main caretaker.

- They all did martial arts as kids but only Leo kept up with it untill Highschool.

- All 4 are fantastic swimmers and people are always surprised to see that Donnie has any physical prowess

- April has been friends with them since middleschool

- Their dad, Hamato Yoshi, runs a dojo!

I don't have all the character sheets done, but...I do have this. This is one of the original sketches I did, with Splinter and Irma added. If you notice design inconsistencies between this and my character sheets, no you didn't 🫣. Neither way is necessarily wrong yet, they're still bound to have miniscule changes, I had different ideas.

I do still have to finish the character sheets but the next design to tackle is April's grandmother! Who is also April (not a situation where she is her own grandmother through time travel, theres just two different ways to approach her character, one is an adult, one is a teenager and Im choosing both).

I've got some concept ideas down for Mona Lisa, Venus (who's original human name I'm not yet decided on, there are a couple different options- Im thinking either simply the original name for Venus, Mei Pieh Chi, or Xiang Fei Tong- I'm just not super familiar with the character this would make her if I combined these two characters, I'd have to read more about Xiang Fei Tong's original character), Alopex, and The Professor from the 2003 series. I've also got ideas in my head for Professor Honeycutt/The Fugatoid, Angel, Usagi Yojimbo, The Shredder/Oroku Saki, Karai/Miwa (Im undecided if Karai and Miwa are going to be the same person), Tang Shen, Bebop, Rocksteady, Hun, and Baxter Stockman (Im going to stick with OG/2003 Stockman vibes for my AU) and I would like to incorporate The Purple Dragons (2003 PD's- 2012's are to wimpy & ROTTMNT PD's are literally just a highschool clique) Kirby (2003 Kirby, not Kirby O'Neil from 2012), The Garbage Man (2003), Bishop, Don Vizzioso (2012), Timothy/Mutagen Man (2012), Sydney/Quarry (2003), Nanotech (2003), Renet, The Triceratons, The Kraang/The Utrom, The Rat King, Tigerclaw, Metalhead, Traximus, Draxum (ROTTMNT), and more from the original Mirage comics, the 90's movies, 2003 series, 2012 series, ROTTMNT, bits from the IDW comics and maybe, some references to the Batman VS TMNT movie (It's one of my favourites). I'd also like to nod to the 2003 series & 2007 movie by giving Raphael a motorcycle, maybe him and Mikey both go try doing their own vigilante thing. I plan on using crystals as a plotpoint as well, I feel like that's an essential piece of the TMNT story but that by no means guarantees anything mystic because I don't want to lean to heavily into a magic system. I want it to be less fantasy, more sci-fi. Ive also got my own ideas for mutants- like Mariana, the Marine Iguana mutant!

Basically! That is all my longwinded way of saying that I have a lot more designs to whip up. I probably won't do character sheets like I have been with these characters after Grandma April's done.

I dont have April, Splinter, or Irmas character sheets out yet but for reference

Some of the design choices arent 100% static, they change clothes and the skin patterns on Leo are sometimes swirls instead of what's in the picture. Mikey and Raph may end up having 2 toes instead of 3. I have character sheets for the turtles here.

Edit: I meant to include irma as an option so if you like hers best perhaps comment it or just choose second best 🤣 oops

Omgggg another au doodle dump…hahahaha….sorry for ditching tumblr guys hahahahhahaha………..

[my-name-is-bunnyfoxy]

Hi so this AU of mine has been haunting me for a long while so I'ma finally start sharing it.

Ladies and gentleman, and queers, I represent to you

Turtle and a Newt AU

Okay I still have no idea what the name of the AU will be but there-

Synopsis: Remember When Worlds Collide? At the end of that special, Mikey is shown to be alive and not dead. But what if instead he was? This is where the plot comes in!

Mikey sacrifices himself and sadly is killed. Almost a decade later (I'd say 9-10 years later), at an electrical factory something went wrong and an explosion happened. But somehow, by a miracle and unknown reasons Mikey is miraculously brought back to life and he also has his electrical powers once more. His happiness is short lived as he finds out he isn't the only one brought back to life. Just like in When Worlds Collide Newtralizer does die at the end of the episode and he did die in this AU as well. But somehow managed to come back and he also kept his electrical powers.

Now these two idiots are stuck with each other and have to try and attempt to get along. Not to mention have to work together to get back to New York. Yeah they quickly learned they were in New York and have no idea where they are which uhhh- makes things a lot more complicated-

That's all I have for now- I will probably make some stuff from this AU and possibly a fanfic but idk-

Have also some concept designs for Mikey and Newtralizer in this AU. These aren't official designs and are rather what I just imagined in my head. They will be changed at some point.

Ngl I'm improving with drawing salamanders because Newtralizer turned out better then what I hoped for lmao- Was oddly fun to draw him.

Any questions about this AU I recommend asking in my ask box.

Kinda want to talk about an interesting new trend in the TMNT fandom, caused by a sort of overcorrection when it comes to Venus in headcanons. Mainly, the approach to changing her weapon (also a stealth sequel to this).

So, the “default” weapon for her is the tessen, mostly as a result of one being an accessory for one of her action figures from the Next Mutation toyline. I have no problem with that, I love the weapon and it does have a history as a deceptive weapon, used in instances in which samurai couldn’t use swords. It’s not a ninja weapon per say, but it has ninja vibes, so I’m cool with it.

However, due to pop culture as a whole using it more as a general kunoichi/female warrior’s weapon, people see it as more of a stereotype to have the only main female turtle use one, so they instead decided to change it up a bit. As a whole, I don't have a problem with people changing up weapons if they do it intelligently, but i do take issue with gendering a weapon like this. Tessen, as well as war fans as a whole, were typically used by men, or were at least genderless.

As a result, people have changed up her weapon to less “feminine” options. I’ve seen some interesting variety: Tonfa, bows, chains, even kunai for some reason. But one that seems more prevalent than others in the naginata, the samurai spear.

It’s not a bad weapon, far from it, there's a reason it was preferred over the katana by many soldiers of it’s time. And while its more of a Donnie weapon, in the hands of a good writer it could be an interesting choice for combat scenes. There's just two points that make this idea funny to me: the first is that it isn't a ninja weapon, even less than tessen are. They are large and kind of inelegant for stealth based missions (similar to the odachi), meaning it’s only good if you can find a way to make it more portable (make it collapsible, or make the blade go into the staff when not needed). The second point is even funnier though: it’s even more gendered than the tessen is by pop culture. Naginata’s were primarily used by foot solders and onna-musha/onna-bugeisha, aka female samurai. At least tessen are only gendered by pop culture.

So, people are trying to swap out a relatively gender neutral weapon for one that was primarily used by female warriors from a completely different subclass of fighters. That’s unintentionally hilarious. (If you’re wondering, here’s my picks for Venus weapons.)

[astro-moved]

TMNT: Runaway AU (bc there’s so many versions of the TMNT, might as well make my own)

AU where Splinter a horrible father and person in general and Leo, unable to handle his shitty home life, runs away at 15, leaving Raph to take care of Donnie and Mikey alone. Three years of living with April later, he goes back home and things haven’t gotten better… and secrets are revealed, incriminating Splinter further.
