Made some art for my phone case! It was my first time painting on a case, so the lines aren’t as clean as I would have liked, but over all I think it turned out well.

This art is brought to you by one of the most gorgeous and heartbreaking panels from #thelastronin

A clear phone case that has been painted. The painting shows a katana that is on fire with smoke billowing around it. The art is heavily stylized with bold yellow, white, black, and navy blue colors.

The phone case sits on an open page of the comic “The Last Ronin” which depicts a katana and a hockey mask sitting amongst burning rubble. The phone case art heavily references this comic panel.

A black and white digital drawing of an aswang, a vampire-like mythical creature from the Philippines. Wings protrude from her back and her body is ripped off at the torso. Her face is slightly tilted downward and she has a stern expression. The drawing is made with jagged lines and is has an incomplete look to it. A short comic strip of an interaction between Donatello and Splinter, based on a TMNT-themed TTRPG campaign that the artist runs. In the first panel, they are sitting on a worn couch. Splinter is watching something on TV and Donatello is looking at something on their phone, giggling. In the second panel, Donatello shows Splinter his phone, saying “Hey Dad, check out this meme.” In the third panel, Splinter is squinting at the phone. Donatello asks, “Do you need your glasses?” Splinter replies, “No, no…” Donatello then says, “… Are you sure?” A drawing of 2003 April O’Neil in the poster’s art style. A Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles poster for the TMNT-themed TTRPG campaign that the artist runs with friends. The four turtles - from left to right, Michelangelo, Raphael, Leonardo, and Donatello -all have unique stripes, spots, and colorful clothing. Their poses are a reference to the cover of the first Mirage TMNT issue. The top of the poster says “TURTLES AND TURNIPS: TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES”

I saw someone wearing this at work today and holy crap I need this shirt so bad (I’m a childless woman)
A black t-shirt that says “Daddy you are as brave as Leonardo, as smart as Donatello, as strong as Raphael, as crazy as Michelangelo. You’re my favorite ninja.” The 2003 teenage mutant ninja turtles are depicted on the t-shirt.

I’ve been experimenting with some art styles lately and decided this looked good enough to post.

It’s been a while since I’ve worked on honing my art skills, so I decided to draw April from the 2003 TMNT series!

(I might do April from other iterations as well depending on how I’m feeling…)

In honor of finally getting a new tablet to draw on, have this self portrait. It's in black and white because coloring is the worst and my wrist hurts and I did this in 30 minutes.

#art #BlackAndWhite #SelfPortait
A black and white digital painting of the artist's self-portrait. She has short dark hair styled in a pixie cut and a chipped tooth. The art piece uses bold black and white color, with no gray.

Here’s my #rottmnt #oc! She is a lava yokai named Pinatuba. I took a lot of inspiration from my Filipino heritage when designing her. And with the help of a cloaking brooch, she also has a cool human disguise!
A picture of a lava yokai in the art style of the Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle show. She is a humanoid whose entire body is made of lava. She has short hair made of flames and traditional Filipino tattoos on her arms. There is a small scar on her right cheek. She is standing with her right hand on her hip. A picture of a woman in the art style of the Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle show. She has medium brown skin and dark red hair, which is kept in a pixie cut. She wears an orange cropped jacket, olive green cargo pants, purple knee pads, and brown boots. Her belt buckle is gold and turquoise. There is a small scar on her right cheek. She is standing with her right hand on her hip. Two closeup images of the yokai in her lava form, showcasing her tattoos. The first image shows her profile view and depicts the geometric patterns of her traditional Filipino tattoo which runs lengthwise from the top of her shoulder to the top of her elbow. The other image shows the circular tattoo on her back.

Here’s a little prequel to Don and Isa’s museum date

#tmnt #tmnt2k3 #fanart #oc

OC belongs to @thunderberryart.bsky.social
A four-panel comic depicting a prequel to Donatello and Iseult’s date at the Natural History Museum. April O’Neil and Casey Jones are in their shared apartment setting the table. In the first panel, April answers a phone call and says “Hey, Don, what’s up?” He replies with, “Hey, April. Can you do me a favor?” She replies, “Sure.” and he says,”Can you lend me some money? And some of your clothes? I’ll pay you back next week. And return the clothes, of course.” In the second panel, April has a confused look on her face and Casey is overhearing the conversation while putting flowers in a vase. April asks, “Um… what’s all this for?” Don responds, “I’m planning on taking Iseult to the Natural History Museum this afternoon.” In the third panel, Casey interjects with, “Is this a date?” April asks over the phone “Don, are you dating Isa?” Donatello’s speech bubble appears to sweat as he says, “N-no! It’s not like that!” In the fourth panel, Casey takes the phone from April and says to Don, “Listen, pal. If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck… it’s a duck.” Don’s speech bubble is crooked as he yells “Casey!” April stands to the side, smiling with amusement.

I recently spilled soup on my laptop and tablet, destroying both. So I’ve been getting into traditional art lately.

Enjoy this fanart of Trese!

(And if Budjette Tan ends up on here, lmk!)
