2012 & 2018 Michelangelo (thats I hard name to spell good lord. . .) my own turtle design! (Kinda)

The Mikey mix~

another run down, but this time it’s different!

In the 2018 series the boys are all different types of turtles, Leo is a Red-eard Slider, Raph is a Alligator-Snapping turtle, Donnie is a Soft shell turtle (shudders) and Mikey is a simple box turtle, in the 2012 series Donnie says that he suspects their Common-Box turtles and/or Dimond-Back Terrapins.

So they’re all different turtle Mixes, Mikey’s pretty normal compared to his brothers (well thats not something you hear every day. . .) because of this I decided to add the Yellow-Bellied slider given that the 2012 Mikey is a much lighter color compared to his brothers which is neat, so he’s Dimond back terrapin/Box-Turtle & Yellow-belly slider

his Yellow-Slider is most visible on his shell/plastron and in his light skin tone

I gave His plastron a yellow tint to show it. the mixed shell pattern is supposed to be the Dimond-Back terrapin and Box-Turtle

other then that there's really not much to say for him regarding turtle mixes, so I’ll just talk about the other details on him!

Mikey’s covered in paint, a detail that two people I showed this to seemed to love and I do to! I figured Mikey would have fun painting his shell and I even added (or wanted to add) the little detail that he paints a lightning bolt on his plastron to match Raph, (which I added in an additional thing)

But it was also a little difficult. I’m mostly using the 2012 color palette, so when I use the paint colors from 2018 I had to make sure colors didn’t clash to much which is way I didn’t add more colors because they just didn’t work (I had that same problem with Raph and his mask&/red-ear-marks) + I’m not the most creative when it comes to sparatic details, tho I do think it’s works and looks quite nice! he also has paint on his equipment, which Splinter probably got mad about it on his nunchucks.

when adding on his specks/freckles I had a moment thinking is this to much? But then I got reassurance from someone that they liked it so, I do think his cheek freckles get lost but he makes up for it!

I’d also just like to point out that I hadn’t drawn Mikey before this, seriously the only I did of Mikey before this was the first turtles thing a draw a bit back it was a little odd but not as bad as the story I have for Donnie. . .thats for another time tho. . . . I didn’t really have much problem with Mikey, the only thing close to it would be the feet and nunchucks which I wasn’t originally gonna add but put in anyway because it looked weird without them (I had to do the same with Donnie’s staff)

Also I just wanna say. The reason this took so long was because I just hadn’t got around to writing the actual post sorry! . also I have the base line of Donnie and have had it for a bit I just need to finish him which shouldn’t take long it’s just if I feel like doing the rest of Donnie I feel so bad about it!

drawn, May 3rd

Leo: Raph: Donnie:

I painted Leo! I was given 10 small canvases the other day and my first idea was something like that, then I found some references and ended up finding a few so I did two!

the references

the paintings

I think I did pretty well it’s been I bit since I did a painting like that so! I figured Leo would be the best to start with seeing he’s the leader and he has the simplest design on these, I’m planning on doing the other turtles but I dounno whos next, Mikey’s gonna be the most difficult, and I like Raph and kinda wanna do him but then theres Mikey so I’m kind lost, (also I REALLY Need to do a drawing of Mikey! I did Donnie Before I did Him!!!!)

it took most of the day to draw and paint but that was with interruptions and later in the day so if I do the others it may or may not take longer then Leo, seeing as thier more complicated but there be less Complications (if that makes since)

my lovely friend and another person I met both love Donnie so :p

Ta da~ ! Donatello. I tried to do what I did with Leo but it doesn’t look as cute, I donno why tho. . . .

when I was getting this post ready I realized that the 2012 Donnie needed more details so I added specks on his skin and it’s really cute~ (seriously his face is so precious in that photo~)

Extras :> 💜 (wed, April 23rd)

I’m not really I Donnie fan myself but he is growing on me sooo~

also it seems I post twice on a good day due to how much I draw so have fun with all these turtles, (I got more Mha: Vigilantes tho)

so my wonderfull friend on here loves turtles and the Tmnt and I kinda started switching fandoms. . . .its like in between Mha: Vigilantes and Tmnt 2012 so yur gonna have to shear content. . . . .

Anyway! Drawing of Leo!

something about this is just so Nice to look at and visually pleasing! I love it so much! I was also playing around with a new brush and it again just looks so nice for this! I was actually originally just gonna do vary little color as a style. . . that didnt happen tho

I love Leo! Fri April 18th/19th also I do have more are of the turtles
