Finally have a proper cover and title for my little Future AU idea turned comic. Wish the rest of it could look like this but that would take forever. At least I got stretch my legs with this piece. Info dump and comic in the link:

I'm turning Future Leo years old tomorrow (39) so to celebrate I drew fLeo going through all the trials and tribulations I've been dealing with at this age. Also thought it'd be a fun opportunity to do
@_papertrowel
idea and put him in some of my outfits. He understands my pain.
Here's more relatable 39yo Leo, which won by a landslide in my 3K poll. I'll probably do more of these in the future since there's plenty of content from my own life to apply. You can't tell me Leo wouldn't go to therapy...whether or not he'd actually open up though is debatable.
Happy 1 Year ROTTMNT Movie! Decided to do a quick clean up on the piece I did on @/BearyUnbearable drawpile! Seemed like a good way to celebrate. Thanks everyone for such a great year! It's inspired me to draw again for myself and that means the world!

SPOILER FOR 40TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL. Dang Splinter. Way to throw you arch-nemesis/fellow dad/it's complicated under the bus at the last second. He totally did it on purpose just to annoy poor Draxum and fortify his top spot as best dad for all eternity.

@becomesgarbage
is on a quest to make sure every Rottmnt artist draws future Leo wrecked. Plum drunk also counts so here. I see Leo having a sailor's mouth and April and Mikey both enjoy deciphering his ramblings. FYI April can drink them both under.

Relatable Leo Xmas Special 1/2. Decided to post the first half a little early. Sadly Raph doesn't make an appearance since my Raph was living in Japan back then. I'll have to do some of our Japan adventures in another comic. I'll post the 2nd half later this week
#UnpauseROTTMNT
The funny one, everybody! Here’s the silly Replica animatic that won the vote. Not canon but let it be known that Replica Donnie is just as unhinged as all the other f!Donnies. He’s just too tired to make a show of it most of the time (speaking from experience).
#saverottmnt
As promised, here's the little Replica bribe-I mean extra! Mikey is always willing to help Omega find new ways of expressing himself, even if it is at Leo's expense from time to time. Thanks everyone for putting in your votes.
Replica Donnie: Technodrome Sniper. Donnie in his prime was pretty strong. My jaw was keeping me up so finally had the energy to work on some concepts. I love seeing how far I can push their Ninpo abilities beyond where the show left off.
#rottmnt
#SaveRiseofTMNT
Dr Feelings has had it up to here with their nonsense. Happy V-Day. This isn't canon to Replica just a response to people asking if there will be any romance in it. Short answer: no. Long answer: noooo. Longer answer: if so, it happens off screen since I'm keeping close to canon.
Happy 2033- I mean 2023! I imagine in their 20’s of the bad timeline Leo does not appreciate Donnie’s preemptive steps in case of the unthinkable. But this is Leo so he’ll still cope his way. First time trying this sort of format, hopefully not too janky
#rottmnt
#UnpauseROTTMNT
Loving all the old men Leo crossovers so I caved. Poor Replica Leo is just trying to avoid his less than emotionally stable, slightly older counterparts. His therapist says he’s making great progress and hopefully he’ll have his shit figured out before his inevitable demise. 1/3
Happy Halloween everyone! Just a quick blend of my two favorite cartoons I did over the evening. (For the record Splinter would have been the Huntsman and Raph the spirit in the lantern, but I got lazy haha.)

For the record I don't normally do these sorts of memes. But this one was too obvious and I haven't seen it at all in the Rise fandom and I'm very disappointed in ALL of you so I guess it's up to me to pull the low hanging fruit. /j You're welcome and thank you.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Here is the stupid finale. Final page is in the replies. It's a little rushed, but eh! Thanks everyone for a wonderful... half year? Looking forward to all the things 2023 is going to bring for the community.

Last time seeing daddy. First time seeing Omega. I’m in too deep with
@Star_Sparkler
plotting all the little scenes that would happen if August was in Replica. So here’s some sketches. Not canon, but totally an AU where everyone doesn’t die in the end. She deserves that much.
*falls into room* I’m cancer free! I’m so happy I could cry. I don’t normally post my deeper private life on here but this has been hanging over me for 9+ months and I just… need to emote. It’s not perfect but it’s benign and stable and that’s all I can ask for! *lies down*
Language before/after kids. Sorry for the crass humor, but I've seen this phenomena happen so many times with friends who become parents I couldn't help but wonder what side of the line the Replica boys fall under haha.

Hey, respect the overalls, bros. They're the international sign for "I'm actually a useful member of society." Thought I'd do my take on the new canon fit for Donnie. I'm stupidly excited for this comic. Everyone be sure to thank @/wolfboy74 for all his hard work!
#rottmnt
The real reason. I’ve seen a lot of comments saying that canon future Donnie looks more like he’s wearing waders rather than overalls and if that’s the case then he’s smarter and more prepared than any of us are giving him credit for. King is keepin’ it clean.
#rottmnt
Beachball jump scare! Time to release my submission for the
@Turtles_Zine
! I wanted to draw the boys having a good time in my neck of the woods. I think they'd love SoCal (albeit our pizza does kinda suck). Also the leftover sale has begun so check it out:
Rottmnt movie serious discussion: want your opinions. Is future Mikey not actually using his Nippon here? His markings are not glowing like in the series. Wouldn’t that suggest that his mystic powers are coming from a different source?
Next Replica update is coming soon, just posting a panel in advance since people have been very patient with me. Bonus points to whoever recognizes where the other team members are from.

Abbeyofcyn on Tumblr is doing a Color This in Your Style. I had so much fun coloring this wonderful piece. I need more of this sweet AU in my life. You can check it out here:
My take on Andy Suriano's (@/wolfboy74) design for Frida from his lovely short, "Farewell." I loved the idea of giving her a weak spot with an exposed heart given the artist she is name after. No proper outfit designed yet but it'll do for now.
#rottmnt
#Frida
Everyturtle Everywhere All At Once. I give you the absolute worst version of the Mad Dogs. Average boys who work at their dad’s laundromat. They have to borrow the abilities of their canon counterparts just to put up a good fight. Now they have to save the multiverse from Mikey.
"Hey, Omega? Could you do me one last favor?"
"Of course, Captain."
"Could you... say something he would have?"
"...You did good, Nardo."
I woke up today & chose violence for the Sail the Seven Galaxies Round of TMNT Fashion Competition. Inspo in the comments.

Children in the apocalypse are not expected to wash their hands, much to Donnie’s chagrin. Little does Donnie, know Leo just taught Casey how to high-five and then told CJ to go do it with Donnie because he just LOVES high-fives.

Some of Replica meeting the Cass Fam from my back and forth with Cass. My heart is done. I can ascend now. Forgive me and my cheesy, cringey soul.
Round 3 for the TMNT Fashion Competition! This week’s theme is “Heroes and Villains.” Wanted to lean hard into those Vogue vibes. Never drawn Big Mama or Lou Jitsu before but they seemed perfect for it! Inspo in comments.

My Tumblr followers keep telling me that I need to share my Future AU RoTTMNT comic on here, but it would take forever to post all of it so here's a few panels from the latest update. Pain is a dish best served family style

I am old! But still silly. Thank you everyone already for your kind wishes! They mean so much to me! Wish I could do more but I'm already neck deep in projects at the moment! Love you all!

More Peepaw Showdown emotions. I have no excuse other than
@zapekan6000
and I wanted these 2 to meet but they never got to in the roster lineup. So I’m making them meet at the end. Recommend Tumblr version since there’s plenty of missing context here.
It is time to vote! Please let us know what episode you want to see first! Mine is “Dungeons & Drama” but please vote for whichever you want most regardless. However, if the idea of tiny halfling Raph and elf boy Leo is enticing, you may want to take mine into consideration!😉
Hello fellow mutants! It's time to offer your opinions on the first episode concept! Use the form to submit your votes. Reminder that you may only vote ONCE, so choose wisely!

Working on Replica, but it's taking a little longer than expected so here's a panel! Casey Jr, as cute as he is, is still just as gross as any other baby. Donnie gets used to it... eventually. The battleshell baby seat helps keep him entertained at least.
#rottmnt
Don’t tell him that otherwise it will go to his head haha. Ironically I wasn’t planning on showing much of future Donnie when I first started Replica. Sort of wanted to keep him mysterious. But he’s too fun to draw.
“This isn’t the Central Park colony anymore, Commander. Rank doesn’t mean much now. Only the strong get to decide-”
Thought I’d post my Peepaw Showdown incentive on here as well. A future Replica panel, with no further context.

Whew just squeaked in this DTIYS. Wish I could have spent more time on the tat, but grateful for the chance to stretch my legs. I've never finished a DTIYS before, but

So how ‘bout that Tumblr Peepaw Showdown, huh? I’m ready for Replica to be put out of his misery. This is what happens when you give Tumblr polls. But seriously. I love OMO so dang much. He deserves it.
Nya! Going to be busy most of this week with TMNT Zine works, but took a quick minute to sketch a response in regard to some Tumblr questions on Replica Donnie's eyebrows. They are a mystery no longer!
Leo’s trying his best. Something real fast to have some fun with expressions today. Immediately thought of mind Raph when I heard this clip and had to do it.

Random Peepaw cowboy warmup! Back in my riding days I would watch how the lasso rope would smoke around the saddle horns when wrangling racing cattle. You had to be really careful because you could easily lose a finger. Leo already has so few so he has to be extra careful, hah!
My submission for Round 2 of the TMNT Fashion Competition on Tumblr. The theme is Traditional Garment, so it seemed fitting to put Replica Leo into some vintage Japanese garb & a matching prosthetic from that era. Should I make a print of this? Inspo in the comments.

Cowboys vs Aliens. Decided to go with a cowboy Replica Donnie for the Free Choice Round of the TMNT Fashion Competition. So here’s Donnie’s meet cute with his future steed. They’ll be besties soon enough. Inspo in the comments.

You deserve all the joy in the world! I saw this shirt combo and had to sketch your favorite pair in them. Also, seeing as Leo already tried eating Dee once, it only makes sense he'd attempt the same with the bite-sized clone.
I swear I wasn't going to make any designs for Cyber Monday, but this silly idea suddenly struck me in the middle of the night and I just had to do it. If you like, you can check out my Teepublic:
He’s a menace. Wanted to do a Donnie version of the sunglasses meme while on a quick break. I’m probably the only one who will find this funny but I don’t care haha.

Coworker: “Make sure to bring a gift for the baby shower.”
Me: “Got it!”
Coworker: “…it can’t be TMNT related.”
Me: “Aw why not?”

Me: “Your point being??”
I’m getting that kid the most TMNT thing ever.
My local comic store was sold out of the TMNT 40th Anniversary comic and were shocked by how quickly it sold. I put money down for next week’s shipment and when they offered other recent TMNT comics instead I said, “Oh, I’m here for RISE.” The store clerk nodded sagely and (1/2)

Happy 1 Year Anniversary, Replica! In celebration I’m doing a DTIYS for the cover of my upcoming Replica Holiday Special that’s all about the birth of Casey Jr! It’s just for fun but if interested please check out the details on my Tumblr:
Mandatory Replica WIP. Replica should be out this weekend. Sorry not too interesting of a preview shot but don't want to give away some of the spoilers in this update just yet! Thanks as always for your patience as I juggle this along with several other Rise projects.
Little image to answer a Replica question. They're just regular military grade ID Tags. So they include a name, identification number, blood type, faith for burial purposes, and the US Mutant Guard designation. The usual. *runs*
Alright, alright, here's some of the promised merch. Decided to push this to the front of my to do list since I kept getting asked about them. These two are available at my Teepublic on apparel, mugs, stickers and more.
