Usagi x TMNT megacrossover lineup pt2!

I thought I already posted this but apparently not???

Follow-up to this first lineup from 2023!

closeups under the cut!

Cody (17), Angel (33) and Jotaro (also a teenager)

Text: From the year 2109, Cody is Leo's former student (when the turtles went to the future in 2007)

Cody Jones - 17 - just here to help

Angel - 33 - looking out for the turtles

Jotaro ('03) - 16 - "I'll make my father proud!"

Mikey and Don (he goes by Don at 30+)

Text: Turtles - ~34-35 years old

Usagi meets turtle warriors familiar with his ancestor's history - and more!

Mikey - learned massage techniques for his artist side-gig (yes, those are paint brushes on his belt)

Don - stocky and tall like Raph

-in 2023 I thought it would be fun to involve more characters and stories from the 2003 show than I first thought (so, Cody and his cast)

-Angel is gonna play some part too bc I thought she under-used as a character + i wanted to soft-boot redesign her a bit

-hopefully I'll have time to write about what Mikey and Don are doing in 2023 (cuz they always felt under-used in stories too)

-this has been a fun story to write and think about. I hope I can put it up one day!

UTMX height chart notes from dec 16th! tried to recall what heights I gave the characters. the charts are from 2023-2024 (pretty sure I finished the 1st one, but this version was on my phone)

04 Leo is a older mentor here, Usagi is almost 17 and stuck in NYC with his friends

portal-stuck, but enjoying the newness! (his sense of danger is better but he's still excited to travel)

2003 April and Casey studies! + a tiny Splinter in the corner. I realized I haven't drawn them properly in a million years (since I finished watching the show in... 2008 or so) and thought it would be fun to do some studies!

I'll make better ones but these will also come in handy when I start writing their parts in my fanfic haha x3

These quick doodle lineups weren't showing up my own blog search so I thought I'd re-post them. Then realized, hey, they're kinda hard to actually view, right? 😅

Lineup: Samurai Rabbit: the Usagi Chronicles cast of Kitsune, Chizu and Usagi, then Cody Jones from the 06/07 tmnt03 spinoff Fast Forward. 2nd image: 03 April and Casey, Leo and Usagi, '03 Jotaro and SRTUC Gen. (yes Jotaro is sorta made up for this fic, since we don't know the exact things that go on in 03 usagi's world but we can assume it is loosely based on the canon at the time so I'm just running with it)

(won't tag all characters this time, since the doodles are very undetailed anyway, so if you wanna search these or block em, you can use the tag "usagi x tmnt megaXover" or "UTMX", maybe I'll figure a better name for this later on but... for now, that's it haha)

aghht srtuc posts masterlist

a post with all my longer Samurai Rabbit: the Usagi Chronicles posts! not quite a masterlist, but I wanted to put them all under one list so I can find them later for referencing sake :D 

Yuichi Usagi - what’s in a name? (a lil bit of theory)

Usagi is a given name (part 2) - more theories and observations

keikogi for reference - for Yuichi Usagi’s outfit

Samurai Rabbit w/ Stan Sakai & The Usagi Chronicles Creative Team (interview links)

re-listening to “Samurai Rabbit with Stan Sakai & The Usagi Chronicles Creative Team” (this one is a longer analysis post) 

My doodle-tag and my art post tag = :-D

random Usagi Chronicles tid-bits

Samurai Rabbit trivia refs

Neo Edo Idol tag (fanart+fanfic combo, about a posessed Usagi, based on a background detail from the show)

“USAGI x TMNT Mega-Crossover” or “UTMX” for short - just a self-indulgent crossover where I mess around with crossovers again (tag under construction): ref 1, ref 2, ref 3

Chizu x Kitsune and why it’s gay

Usagi refs I drew fir myself

Neo Edo and batteries

Usagi Chronicles and reviews

I’ll keep updating this as I go along! Thanks for reading! :)

looking at some of the files I have for my UTMX fanfic/fanstory/fancomic (like backups etc) and....

wild how I started drawing stuff for this AU in 2022-2023 already

like,

that feels so long ago now!! my "house style" has stayed the same and yet changed too. but at the same time it's still fun to try and draw this and continue my old sketches

i will definitely not get this done this year

but gosh darn I wanna get it done anyway

January 2024. Some older development sketches for Cody in my UsagixTMNT megacrossover fic, the part with Usagi Chronicles and Fast Forward, 1 year past the turtles leaving the future. Cody is interesting to draw bc I'm basically going back to my teen times of drawing Danny Phantom hair on all my OCs (it's not quite the same but still, it makes me laugh a bit lol). His futuristic suit is a bit strange to draw so I've been veering between redesigning it and learning how to draw it.

sorry to cody fans for butchering him here. but I definitely got better at drawing him later. I'll post those sketches when I find some good photos!

Cody's... more apprehensive about this kind of time-intruder than usual. At this point I was mostly listening to my sibling talking about Fast Forward! I know there's a short timeskip between FF and Back tobthe Sewers. Those seasons/spinoff never aired here so I'll get to it eventually.
