[Splinter Forever. Story: lloyd Goldfine. Art: Khary Randolph Colours: Emilio Lopez Letters: Tom Napolitano and Shawn Lee]
[ID: 03 show styled comic, the turtles crowd around splinter with looks of concern/relief. Splinter doing his best to hug them all back but saying "You so know I could have freed myself anytime I wished too..." Splinter narration: ...And, even if given forever... END]
Next narration: I could not have dreamed of one better.
idw 40th anniversary book. various caps i took cause i really liked them (by they way the few stories i did NOT cap is not cause i didnt like em by any means. and for some it was cause i was TOO SAD! i liked them SO MUCH! they HURT to LOOK AT. kay thx)
book creds. Editor: Nicolas Niño. Supervising Editor: Jamie S. Rich. Design: Nathan Widick
might as well start with the 03 one cause its already up there
[ID: 1. Action shot the turtles jumping thru a window, in varied cool poses, rimlit in blue moonlight.
Leo: Mikey, thin out the foot! Donnie, free Splinter! Shredder's mine!
Raph: I got hun!
Mikey, singing: Turtles, count it off!
Splinter, narrating: Here, I speak not of mutation… but of my sons, could I ever have dreamed I would become a father.
2. Action shot of turtles and Splinter together, all yelling a "Hai-yah!" Splinter narration: Never has there been a father prouder of his children. END]
ur reminder that 03 is the one that was literally just a rat b4 mutation. sometimes life hands u 4 reptiles and some weird alien go and u go. okay these are my beautiful children now
and you know the tweets like. i gotta accept u didnt make the tmnt? u gotta accept youll DIDNT draw a rat this SICK. his swag. unparalleled.
[ID: Splinter punching the Shredder, cropped close, the line of motion accented by his rodent features, carrying from his tail and digitigrade leg, to the pointed tip of his snout. His fur nicely emphasized from show style. END]
okay in presented order now. (again. only the ones im emotionally strong enough for) it opened with eastman's, four pages to a poe poem, Deep lorey in its own way. ALSO SAD!
[Monsters. Story, Art and Letters: Jim Lawson Colours: Steve Lavigne]
[ID: A very squared jaw turtle style, bold black likes of varying thickness, lots of hashing. It's Raph turning to look over his shoulder with a "Hmp", mask tails flowing behind his head. END]
eeeeee lookit him. mwah. [me explaining] u see. mirage turtles. there so lumpy. and thats EXCELLENT
[Gang Wars. Story: Tristan Jones. Art: Paul Harmon Letters: Tom Napolitano]
[ID: Rounded head, prominent beak, almost movie puppet turtle style. Art has strong penwork , filled with hatching, but soft impressionistic colours, looking both loose yet detailed.
1. Mike is carrying a women as he climbs a ladder. She's tipped almost complete upside down over his shell. Her narration: You perspective shifts... Soft pinkish hue lights them from below.
2. Mike jumping from the roof with a cheerful "Gotta run!", smiling and offering as salute, both nunchaku in hand. Warm golden light hitting his front as he's half turned. END]
HI. I dont recognize your name (YET) Mr harmon sir. but would u like my award for most gorgeous colour rendering on any mutant turtles ever ever in the whole wide world. (sobbing) mikey.... my boy. my beloved loved boy
(there was comics also repping the image and archies runs here. neither of which ive read yet, SORRY. all the same they were both VERY CHARMING)
[What About Tomorrow. Story: Eric Burnham. Art: Sarah Myer Colour: Luis Antonio Delgado Letters: Shawn Lee]
[ID: 87 show styled comic. Raph is quipping to the villain (or perhaps the audience) "Don't tell me… Sherlock Holmes?" He has a hand on hip, side eyeing Donnie very strongly and says
"Don't give me that look, Donatello. He said guess!" Don is looking at him so incredibly flatly. END]
have u literally very seen something more perfect than that. look at their fucking FACESSSSS. urghh. characterization? perfect. u can hear it. i controlled myself here. i didnt cap the entire fucking comic
[ID: Splinter smiling, eyes close, we see what he is reminiscing on. His human self, reading a book and holding the for normal baby turtles. He say "When I was Hamato Yoshi, I could never have guessed I'd become a mutant rat. Or that I would raise four turtles into heroes I am endlessly proud of. END]
LOOK AT THIS FUCKING RAT. and his turtle sons. (he doesnt call them sons in this cartoon but their his fuckinngggg sons.)
splinter forever we covered.
[Kraang Among Us. Story and Art: Ciro Nieli Letters: Shawn Lee]
[ID: A 2012 show styled comic, Nieli's style having a punky marker quality to it in comic form.
1. Drawn small, the turtles character-fully posed. Raph casual and aside, Leo earnest out front, Mikey excited and ready, Donnie last, interest in a beeping gadget.
2. Leo bowing on the ground solemn/serene.
3. Graphically bold panel, Mikey has a hand up, smiling cockily, saying "STOP! …My turn. Hit it, Ice Cream Kitty!" Ice cream kitty, (indeed a cat made of Neopolitan) Clicks on a boom box.
4. Donnie says "This can't be good…", with a look of shock at his gadget, wall of text Beeping behind him. A sort of pink viscera explosion just barely in view. END]
which im particular stunned by seeing nieli's creations rendered in 2 dimensions. they looks so fucking good! tho, from all the other aesthetic makers within the show, it totally make sense, the sort of, graphic pop grime. donnie in partic looks so cute, feel like his look is possible BETTER suited for this than the cg, sorry stringbean.
no raph stunner shot sorry he was only in like 2 panels lol.
Rises "Farewell Story" was here. In which Andy Suriano made me cry and cheer and. GUH. look on the internet. u might see some shit. Also a showing from IDW mainline in "Father's Day"... can u maybe GUESS? fantastic gut punch.
[Teen Spirit: Story: Ronda Pattison Art: Pablo Tunica Letters: Tom Napolitano]
[ID: The current mainline comics look, influence from Campbell. The turtles are round and bulky, a light touch used defining the contours of their heads. Wearing grey lose clothes and white limb wraps. Clean detailed black line, water colour like detailed render.
All five turtles in a rocky forest, various states of concentration to summon colour coded magic energies. Jennika on her stomach, kicking feat, playful. Leo hunched close to his, looking intent. Raph with tongue out, first in one hand. Donnie, in eyes closed mediation. Mikey, his hands over head, a rain of fallen leaves from his dispersed magic. He says "Whoops!" END]
Pattison I recconize as a prolific idw turtle colourist. tunica i dont but is another i WILL have to be on the look out for. who doesnt like the sophie campbell era of turtle. they are SOOOO. everything. to me.
bro. which fucking continuity has them all so fucking cute magic hijinks mentored by the SHREDDER. cant wait to find out (i think there was some ghilbi visual ref moments esp. in his panels. VERY CUTE. lord help us all) looook at them. look at raph :p. LOOK AT JENNY JENNY JENNIKA.
[ID: Rise turtles screenshot redraw (from ep: mystic library) with 3 mutant-sonas, all looking up in apprehension in front of a help desk. They are: a red half mask wearing caimen (a small crocodilian) in dark and light green, a green eye mask wearing snapping turtle, in tealish tones, and blue masked... thing, with reptilian features and antenna, in mint green and warm beige. END]

image attached is the green and blue characters in sort of proto designs, more 'rise style', lined and coloured, over the screenshot. the red one sketched in with only the expression and a blob of colour. text with an arrow points to it as "YOU GO HERE" END

Red: Leatherhead but not as big or smart
Blue: HMMM

Red: I'm partial to caimans and alligators
Green: well chop chop pick up the pen tool
Red: So caiman seems about right for a smaller alligator
Blue: theyyyy are just little guyssss
Red: Idek if I have clip studio installed rn
Blue: u got mspaint. itll do
EIGHT HOURS PASS
[ID: msg from blue: gotta do everything around here

Green: WOOOOW THATS REALLY GOOD
Red: Sorry I've been busy
That is good tho thank you
Blue: THANKIES. i do like crocodilians. is the thing. [Green] ur odd man out now. beak urself
Green: That’s on you for not changing the style
Blue: WELL. i was tryna draw ur guy as youuu drew him fghjsdf. gotta put him on the pottery wheel... MOLD HIM

Blue: anyway u. any actual animals ur guy is supposed to evoke or should i just look up bulbasaur realistic fanart
ID: Green: Lmfao is supposed to be a normal snapping Turble
Blue: arrghhhaa YEAHgg
photo of a snapping turtle making a funny face
an aside about... the devils green:
[ID: Green: Now I’m trying to think of how a big croc mouth smokes weed
Blue: smoking big doinks in amish
silly sketch of the caiman smoking a joint, eyes half lid with a big goofy smile, smoke coming out the nostrils. END]
Green: But [Red] doesn’t use joints
Blue: IM NOT DRAWING A BONG.
Green: I’m thinking of his big dumb [novelty branded bong] tryina get the croc mouth on it
Blue: jhgbhjsdfg
Green: That’s what’s making me laugh
ID: Blue: with difficulty
sketch of the caiman with head lowered to a excessively long bong, arm stretch to over the distance of both his muzzle and the bong. hand drawn holding lighter to the. smoke bit. smoke comes out of the nostrils again.
Green: HELL YEAHHHHH END]
Blue: 2 hours old and hes already schmoking
Green: When he exhale becomes a dragon
Blue: Yer
Green: [Red] look at your weed smoking fursona
Red: I got distracted but I hate and love it
Green: was the distraction weed
Red: No it was tik tok
Green: so worse
the worst drug
Attempt 2:
[ID: Blue: okay get creatured idiot
art now has the turtle as the above art, without only minor touches. He has a wider set eyes, a more shapely and pronounced beak, the 'teeth' coming to a point, eye ridges, and more colour variation. END]
Green: YIPPEEE
i forgor is yours a robot
Blue: yerrr lol
least amount of guy to draw and from front view so idk how to show. the CHOMPERS
(aka, now I FELT left out)
attempt 3: et volia
[ID: All characters as above, with highlights and shadows now, only drawn over the screen shot, not edited into frame. The blue masked reptile robot thing has been moved so its more visible also gaining a flatter head, eye ridges, a pointer (tho still round) beak with more teeth indicated in the comical expression. it has a scarf the same colour as its mask. END]
anyways i was like arggghh how to edit them into the scene better that seeeeeem HARDDDDDD. think about makeing them bigger and moving them and etcetc. until i realised i bet i could just get this background from the episode.... and then i was fucking around on websites. suffering... until i remembered.... i have... ALL OF SEASON 1. on my laptop. and. the thumbnail for this eps file is LITERALLY. this
[ID: the blank background of the library, with the desk in fore, little orb lights above, and the kooky purple mystic library selves and what not in back. END]
btw i just need everyone to know this one cause i say it all the time now. default response to painful writing
[VD: Clip from 87 TMNT
A thrown objects shatters the window and lands on the pizza dinner table the turtles sit around.
Don: Wow! [He unwraps what turn out to be a ransom note around a camera]
Leo: It's April's minicam!
Don: "We have the newsgirls. Come to the taffy factory at midnight and bring the bufflinks."
Mikey: Uh-oh. We don't have any bufflinks.
Don: They must have run out of C's. They mean the cufflinks.
Raph: And it's almost midnight now.
Leo: That doesn't leave any time to substitute fake cufflinks.
Mikey: So, like, what'll we do?
Leo: "We'll just have to improvise. [They race out of the pizza parlor.]
Raph: Improvise? Against those goons? [turns and shrugs at camera. flatly] Is there a script doctor in the house?
[ID from alt: A meme showing a person playing with a baby labeled "Discussing gender with cis people". Next to that is greek philosophers talking and its labeled "Discussing gender with trans people [as it pertains to mutant turtles] [thru the lense of sci fi media]" END ID]
U know that relatable feel. The thing we ALL do. That thing.
trying to search an odd phrase usage im seeing in a 90s comic. unfortunately. the phrase is 'obbie run' and i doubt jim lawson foresaw the rise of roblox when writing it.
[ID: 1. TMNT 03 Fast Forward screencap of Mikey and Cody with a bunch of action figure toys on the floor behind them. 2. a close up of the toys that are drawn with a rather specific amount of detail. some look like robots or tanks or monstery guys. one on the very right is indicated with an arrow, its blocky, navy blue and white, with maybe, a blocky chest. END]
does mikey [or cody i guess] have a g1 soundwave in the year 2105...
