...listen. i think about this a lot and finally decided to draw a meme i made last year.

Triceraton height guesstimate

I went back to the Rottmnt movie for the umpteenth time to get some screenshots of Krang one's mech suit for drawing references when I got a glimpse of the Triceraton skull Krang One uses as a throne. And that got me thinking, How tall would the Triceratons have had to be in order to match their absolutely huge skulls?

After doing some guesstimating with Leo and Krang one as a reference to compare heights, and using the 2k3 TMNT Triceratons. I have gotten some numbers. Probably not accurate at all, but it's all in the name of fun xD

So. Leo is 1.65m or 5'5" in canon height. Krang one's guesstimated height is about 7.15m or 23'5". (Does he have a canon height??) Triceraton's height I'm guessing is around 55.2 meters or 181'1". That's my take on it at any rate. Do with this information as you'd like 😂

On another note. How the shell were the boys supposed to fight those monsters??? Like holy shell. Donnie would have had to get uranium and make them mech suits or something, yikes, terrifying just thinking about it.... And does the skull throne mean that the Krang have already killed off the Triceratons? Or is that just a hunting price?? Who knows, it's an interesting thought none the less.

Also if the Krang actually has managed to kill off this gigantic alien race, that makes them all the more terrifying an enemy... food for thought.

Anyway, until next time! // Wick♡

My friend made me aware that there is a single Triceraton woman in the entirety of the tmnt animated compendium, She's in a straight-to-tv movie for like maybe 15 minutes, and it seems like there isn't a whole lot of fanart of her so,,, I had to remedy that.

In other news I've been plagued by the "becomes a fan of an incredibly niche character" disease so please wish me a speedy recovery lmao.

regarding your thoughts on every TMNT iteration going through punishment, your not far off. However, I think it’s safe to say that if Rise was gonna continue in some way, those versions would’ve also experienced more and more trials as they go on. The Shredder was their first true opponent that challenged them. They almost lost their lives, they did lose Karai, their old home was destroyed, and Splinter’s life was at stake. They even lost their first weapons, before making new ones with their ninpo. Then the Kraang invades and I’m almost completely convinced they’d have Leo go through an angst arc of self blame and treating himself harshly before finding forgiveness he can accept, and everyone else facing their own struggles. Plus, threats like Rat King, Bishop(if they wanted him to be a villain), the Triceratons(if they’re not extinct), and possible Kraang return would’ve added things. Just got me thinking lol

Good point! The boys have been through so much, and their future will open up many terrifying doors as well! No doubt about it.

But one thing I appreciate about Rise is that those terrifying episodes are spaced out and are few and far between. The majority of the show is spent with the boys just, living. So let's say that Rise is statistically 80% turtles just living their lives and 20% life changing/devastating events. Now compare it to something like 2003. That series was like 98% life changing events and 2% turtles just living their lives,....with a 2% margin of error. 😒 (I'm sorry. They just always seemed to be going through it!) That was a real frustration I had with that iteration, although I still love it. 💜 2012 has a much better ratio, but for me it never really hit that sweet spot of just allowing the boys to exist for an extended period time without their lives getting uprooted and demolished. It ends with Donnie as a complete cyborg and Leo being double mutated. After all of that hard work, I think they deserved so much more. Anyways... Who's to say if/when the show continues that the ratio of living life to devastation will change. It could get more serious for sure. But as it is now, I absolutely appreciate that these boys, for the majority of their time on screen, were able to smell the roses. Thanks for the ask. 😉💜 Ps.

I'm leaning towards the Triceratons being extinct as the Kraang leader was sitting on one of their skulls.

I’ve been watching 03 and wanted to do a rise take on triceratons

This guys big, not as big as they actually are implied to be in the show. (As the krang throne is made of a massive triceraton skull) but I imagine he is larger than the krang. So, several Raph’s tall.

His name is Kratos, he is one of the extremely few survivors. Who only survived because they went into hiding and salvaged krang tech to use to protect themselves. The krang have long since left his galaxy but he is still on a mission to eradicate any trace of krang, including their empyrean. He has a distaste for mutants and yōkai since they are the byproduct of krang.

Time for a sneak peek - I'm representing the original Mirage turtles in @turtlestogetherzine!

I really leaned into treating this as a fun emulation exercise, and especially wanted to highlight the fact that even in its gritty indie days, TMNT was always a bit silly. 🐢❤️❤️❤️❤️

Wow, I didn't know Triceratons can go to Hell too

(i don't think i ever seen any female triceratons in any tmnt shows now that i think about that, also nice animation error too)

Wall doodles Pt 2.

Part two of drawings on the wall.

The thing in Leatherhead's hand is supposed to be the teacup he accidentally broke in Hunted (S3 E 8). Looks kinda bloobish.

Bishop's is from Aliens Among Us (S4 E9).

Traximus and Renet don't have any specific episodes.

P.S. - If you somehow happen to know where the wall is up pls don’t say!

The Original Triceratons: are they a tale from our past... or our future? - TMNT comics

They are on of the earliest creations in the TMNT franchise (predating the Turtles), and have been adapted in almost every version of it. But who are they? What's their origin and relationship with other races? Join me in this video about the Original Triceraton Republic.

i'd mentioned wanting to remove the whole "whited out eye" aspect on the turtles when their masks are on AND with the triceratons in general, so here's some experimenting with the latter!

i did a bit of poking around and found the designers for the OG jurassic park movie modeled rexie's eyes off eagle eyes (same for the sick triceratops). funnily enough: eagle and owl eyes have a very similar color range to triceraton skin (pale yellows, rich oranges and browns, and sharp reds).

for traximus and zanramon i did some loose screen-shot redraws, so i was less distracted with posing and more focused on eyes/coloring. similar with nyxram, but her redraws are from the endure comic. also removed her tattoo since i haven't redesigned it just yet. might change her iris color a smidge, too, but we'll see.

i'm quite happy with this first go! there's a bit of learning to do with the iris/pupil ratio and overall eye-shape, but i'm having fun.

Seri concept!!

This is not official but it’s a wip, I really want her to be in my au and I have a great storyline to go with her and the other triceratons!!

(Art below the cut)

I want her to be royalty still, and maybe have her as a love interest for someone.. but that’s just a MAYBE (even though there is a 95% chance of it happening..)

Day 20 of TMNTtober2023

Still using Zeph’s concept colors as of right now. I’m hoping to maybe make him a little darker to make him look somewhat closer to his brood father, Zanramon, (gonna make that symbolic of his papa issues) and I’ll definitely add some markings too. Of course before Zeph’s designs happen I gotta get the turtles and Splinter in my AU as well as Isabella and any other OCs that’ll appear later on.

Introducing Lux's precious lil tater tot, Petunia, aka: Pepperoni! I very very recently learned about the canonical tmnt character Pepperoni and had to snatch her for my own fluffy oc explorations! It just made sense to turn her into my take on a Triceraton too! I'm still working out the details on how exactly Lux found her egg, i'm leaning towards some kinda wacky market in the Hidden City. Maybe in an "exotic foods" section oops. Some extra fun facts under the cut:

Triceraton hatchlings start out on all fours due to the density of their skulls/head crowns/horns. It takes a bit of time for them to develop the upper body strength/balance needed to move onto 2 legs! Hatchlings also shed for the first couple years of their lives as they replace their softer infant scales with stronger ones! It's a very important time for bonding between parents and their hatchlings as they help chew/clean off the old scales! Petunia will 100% be growing bigger than her father, New York will have to prepare for a pretty pink kaiju running amock in due time!
