Second Chance [Spider AU]

And with that, first place prize for the Replica Holiday Special Cover Contest is complete! Thank you again @abbeyofcyn for your patience and your amazing, winning cover!

Cyn's request was simply to have Donnie from their Krang Infection AU interacting with Replica Donnie. It was supposed to just be a colored piece but I got the idea of Rep!Donnie giving teen Donnie some pointers and decided to do a short comic instead. This was so fun to make, so thank you for the inspiration and your wonderful version of Donnie! He's one of my all time favorites.

If you haven't read it I highly recommend checking out abbeyofcyn's Krang Infection AU as well as it's continuation. It's such a wonderful story!

my version on magma lmao

i might do a whole page if i feel like it

Alright so softshell turtles right. They funky. It’s a lot more obvious that their shells are part of their ribs, as you can actually see the faint outline of their fused vertebrae and ribs on their shells. The reason their shells are so soft is because the edges and much of the lower half of their shell is actually all just cartilage and skin. Their plastron are weird, because the bone plates are largely separate and pointy, held together by harder cartilage the same way human ribs are attached around the sternum.

Donnie was weird to figure out on account of the cartilage lower half of his softshell, but I tried to compromise with his lower back vertebrae being unfused to still allow for the higher mobility required for his waist. Another fun fact about softshell is that they don’t actually have scutes or scales, but because of the look of his plastron and consistency with his brothers in the show, I’m just going to pretend that Draxum mixed in some DNA to let him grow scales for extra protection even if he has less coverage than his brothers. He can “breathe” water by absorbing oxygen through the skin of his throat, not actually by inhaling it. While most turtles can do this to a point, soft shells can stay quite active while doing so.

Personally I like to think of Donnie’s softshell as both a weakness and a strength depending on the situation! While more vulnerable, his skin can heal faster than scutes, and if he sustains blunt damage to his shell he can more easily disperse the force of it because of the give to his cartilage, rather than have the force crack his shell and cause a much more traumatic injury. Kind of like how seatbelts have some give to them to ease into a stop instead of giving someone whiplash.

Just some personal head canons! Feel free to disagree or expand upon :)

I'm shaking a bit, but finished it. Instead of thinking about the background, I've decided to made a collage with sketches my friends have been doing for me since I started this au. @tmnt-ocxcanon-comp

Starring @rufwooff @nikaserb @daysofmoron

Also a couple of different variations below the cut:

WELL! HERE IT IS After I told myself I wouldnt indulge in another AU but this one got me in a chokehold and I can only blame @thegunnsara for this (kissing your head and shaking you at the same time) DONT EXPECT ME TO DO MORE COMICS PLEASE

Рафаэль всегда злой пельмень | Raphael is always an angry dumpling

Не знаю почему пельмень. Ну просто пельмень. Злой, всегда недовольный пельмешек. Но я всё равно люблю этот злой пельмешек

I don't know why a dumpling. Just a dumpling. An angry, always disgruntled dumpling. But I still love that angry dumpling.

Рано или поздно он успокоится. Ну, или устанет. И будет затискан

Sooner or later, he'll calm down. Or he'll get tired. And he'll be petted

А ещё английскому определённо не хватает уменьшительно-ласкательных словообразований. Я Рафа пельмешком зову, а у английского только одна форма этого слово и не такая она ласкательная, как я её озвучиваю

And English is definitely lacking in diminutives. I call Raf a dumpling, but English has only one form of the word, and it's not as affectionate as I make it out to be

Это должен был быть набросок. Но я увлёкся и на набросок это уже не похоже.

It was supposed to be a sketch. But I got carried away and it doesn't look like a sketch anymore.
