Day five of @sariphantom's Rise August Art Challenge! There's a scene in the first episode where Mayhem retrieves Donnie's tech-bo for him (screenshot below the cut), and I just thought it was the cutest thing! So I redrew that moment, added some blinking and tail wagging, and out came this little GIF!
A version with a transparent background is below the cut too, because I couldn't resist!

Watching the trailer makes me realize just how much Rise of the Tmnt had and effect on the series as a whole. Almost everything of the new TMNT trailer reminds me of Rise. While I don’t want the new TMNT movie to fail, it’s interested that some of it’s choices are reminiscent of Rise. Let’s look at the comparisons:
The boys literally start the trailer, doing stupid teenage stuff on a rooftop, just like in ROTTMNT.
The rainbow-esque art style and colorful backgrounds are similar to the art style used in Rise.
April is still black (Nice!) and still has poofy bangs similar to ROTTMNT April.
The boys still make goofy ninja mistakes where they fail in their nonjocity or aren’t too good at being ninjas yet like in ROTTMNT
They still have their one brain cell moments. Everyone in ROTTMNT complained that the boys had the same personality, when really they were just a group of dumb teenagers bouncing off each other’s energy for while.
Tons of graffiti art, which was always in the backgrounds of ROTTMNT
I’m just saying that the newer movie is still using similar beats, but I know the newer fans are STILL not going to give rottmnt a chance. It’s a bummer.
Guess who finally got around to watching rottmnt ….Or well the first episode
I loved this episode and am definitely going to watch more. The voice actors for the main four absolutely killed it. Literally,the moment I heard them speak I was hooked
I had no idea what to expect going into this show, the last tmnt show I watched was years ago
I love the new iteration of these characters. They are absolute buffoons and I am loving every second of it.
I know that the show will probably have some serious moments later on but I genuinely hope that it never loses its comedic tone
I had heard that the animation was good but holy shit they had no right to pop off this hard. Donnie being an absolute badass was probably the highlight of the episode for me.
Mikey has been and forever will be my favorite turtle and I hope they do him service in this show
