(Ink-tober/TMNT-tober 5: Map/Adventure)
The boys’ mission of trying to investigate the Kraang and their origins gone very wrong. They definitely weren’t expecting a reality defying maze of corridors that send you walking in circles indefinitely, lol, they’ll figure it out eventually.
Leo’s inner monologue: “can you retire at 16?”

How did Lost!Leo got his 'Blue Jitsu' outfit?
Well... in a universe not yet designated as S-20-A-22, Leo lands in a world where everyone is functionally a mutant. As he is perceived naked by this universes' populace, a certain not-quite-samurai rabbit decides to help him out.
They end up helping each other out quite a bit...
Happy (Late) Valentines Day!
Design Process and Sketch Below:
Leo's outfit is most inspired by Lou Jitsu (the original not his dad's new suit) and Karai with a little sprinkle of Kraangpocolypse Leo.
Other stylistic inspirations were Usagi Chronicles (where the bands on the gloves and ankles come from) and the parkour video game Mirror's Edge (why there's a more sporty/ athletic wear look and no sleeves).
The seven triangles coming off of the Hamato Clan symbol represent the seven members of his clan- his brothers, April, the Caseys, and Splinter.

In honor of Empyrean Weeping’s one year anniversary today!
MAPS PART ONE || NEXT
The backstory to April and Raph meeting and growing up together!
As for the anniversary, I just wanna take a moment to say. This has been such a crazy and enriching year. I feel like I am in this fandom for the long haul, solely because the entire encompassing TMNT fandom has some of the kindest, most creative, fun loving people, out of anything else I’ve ever been a part of.
You guys don’t know how much every comment, ask, fic/artwork I’ve gotten has made me so happy. I can’t say thank you enough for all the love and support I’ve received.
I really hope I can keep this ball rolling for longer still, because I am not even close to moving on!! So much love to all my followers, and the buds I’ve been introduced to thanks to this amazing show!

Not sure if I'll end up finishing this but!! Lol. Turtle designs.
Might redo all of the lineart actually. Cuz i'm silly and i found techniques I like way more. Gonna sound crazy but some digital brushes feel physically weird. Like I feel physical sensations when using them and that's how I judge digital brushes/pens.
