WOW Looks Interesting I Can't Wait !!!!

I love Sheldon in the Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!😘

IT’S CUTE!!!! 💙❤️💜🧡🐢🐭🍕

Do you mind if I ask you about real boy Shelldon? because I love him and I want to know more. Like did he have to learn how to walk because his drone form didn't have legs, and is he super affectionate or does a lot of touch overwhelm him because the his senses are way different. Just any headcanons you have, because I love this boy.

Oh these are exciting questions! I do have a lot of ideas for Real Boy Shelldon, many of which I plan on making art or comics for. But I’ll be happy to share some of my headcanons and ideas of him!

RealBoy! Shelldon Headcannons:

Shelldon's favorite pizza is Hawaiian.

It takes him some time to get used to his new biological body. He has some trouble learning to walk and move around properly at first. Things like hunger and pain are also new to him.

For a while he gets overwhelmed by experiencing so many new sensations in general. Breathing, having a heartbeat, sounds, smells, touch, feelings – all of which he suddenly has to process in new ways other than in ones an zeros - can be a bit much at times.

He does like hugs though and often needs his family around to help ground him.

Shelldon gets along best with Mikey since they are the same "age" and maturity level. They like hanging out, playing video games, and skateboarding together. They also get into a lot of hijinks and trouble together – they are terrible influences on one another.

Mikey is excited to finally have a "little brother" (in age only, Shelldon is actually quite tall).

Shelldon is more than happy to give his immediate "older brother" a ride on his shoulders.

Shelldon gets into surfing.

He loves experimenting with food and creating weird food combinations. Pizza in a blender? Yup! All the random pizza toppings found in the '87 show? Of course! Hot sauce on ice cream? Delicious!

He often goes on missions with Raph, but gets distracted by things really easily and gets caught up in doing his own stuff, so most of the time they're really unproductive.

He and Donnie bond over Jupiter Jim films and their love of Atomic Lass.

Regarding his drone parts:

He still has his rotors to fly with in the back of his shell.

Despite having a soft shell, Shelldon likes keeping his back unobstructed so that he can use his rotors at anytime. He'll only wear hoodies or loose clothing when he feels comfortable and safe.

His robotic eye has night-vision, and can see outside the normal color spectrum like UV and infrared.

He can communicate with computers a bit. There is a notch in the back of his head that can be used to connect wires to for him to communicate with computers or provide access to the computer side of his brain.

He can occasionally pick up radio signals as well (which can also be a bit overwhelming at times).

He can also suffer from small technological issues like computer viruses and short-circuits (but it'd mostly just make him sleepy and a bit loopy since he still has his bio-brain to compensate).

The mutation managed to fit together his bio-body with his computer body pretty effectively, so he doesn't even need to "recharge" with electricity, and can just use his normal body energy (from food and such) to fuel his technological bits.

He thus has to eat a lot.

Overall, Shelldon is pretty open to going with the flow and trying new things, there's lots of new stuff to do now that he is alive.

I’d like to thank you for this question, anon! I’ve been having a bit of a creative block lately. This helped flex my artistic muscles and get the juices flowing!

SOOOO BEAUTIFUL IDEA Jade!!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

RotTMNT x Wakfu

I’ve been watching the Dofus series/movie and my brain couldn’t let this idea go. I’m not sure if there’s a large overlap between Rise fans and Wakfu/Dofus fans and I don’t know how many people will appreciate this crossover idea or understand how fitting this is, but I really wanted to draw the turtle fam if they were the different races/classes in the World of Twelve, so that’s what I did! This was a super fun design challenge and strangely it was this small project that got me motivated to do art for the first time in weeks. So I’m excited to show it to the maybe 2 people who will appreciate this crossover XD

Leo the Eliatrope - Eliatropes are a powerful race known for their portal magic and for being linked with dragons. They’re often seen zipping around the battlefield. They even have markings on their faces and bodies that glow when they use their magic that are similar to Leo’s markings. I imagine that Leo mostly uses his portals for pranks and mischief though.

Mikey the Ecaflip - Often relying on their supernatural luck, Ecaflips are very unpredictable and somewhat chaotic. Basically, Mikey being a lucky cat-person made too much sense. Also, an fairly prominent Ecaflip character is shown fighting with nunchaku and fire in the Dofus movie, so that fit Michelangelo’s battle style as well.

Raph the Iop - Iop’s are an honorable warrior class who value their companions and are always up for a battle. Their motto and general battle tactic is “act before you think” and I think that fits Raph practically perfectly. Iops usually use swords over most weapons, but Raph can be unique and keep his tonfas.

Donnie the Foggernaut - Foggernauts are sea-faring technomages who prefer science over magic and enhance their body with their tech, and if that’s not Donnie, I don’t know what is.

April the Huppermage - April always did seem to be interested in witches and now she gets to be one! Huppermages are powerful magic-users and form weapons out of light and energy. I had to give April her signature bat.

Splinter the Enutrof - All Enutrofs look like short, stocky elderly people, so I just had to make rat-Splinter not a rat anymore and give him a shovel and he’s an Enutrof (and also looks kinda like a chibi version of Iroh). Enutrofs are miserly treasure hunters, and tend to be rather secretive about their past and personal lives and it’s that last part which made me think of Splinter.

Hi Jade I have a question about this post...but the images of this post is the next page of The Brains and The Brawn that is page 17?

I mean a trailer of the comic?

Here’s a sneak peek for my entry in the @mad-dogz-zine. As one would expect my entry is a comic. It is titled “Collapse”

You can order a print of the zine over here!

A free PDF will also be available on September 20th on the website so stay tuned!

❤️🥰😍😘 AWWW I am so happy when you reply to my comments!!!

RotTMNT x Wakfu AWESOME🤩 LOVE that series😍 !!! Would you like to do a fanfiction or a comic about this project? Or is it just a hobby sketch? Because it's BEAUTIFUL as you designed it!

Aww thank you so much! I’m so glad you like the idea! I don’t have any fanfiction or comics planned for it at all. It was mostly just a fun design challenge that I wanted to do.

But if you or anyone else wants to use the designs or ideas for your own art/writing, I’d be happy to let you do that as long as you mention me or link it back to me (mostly because I’d love to see what anyone else does with them).

Maybe if I get inspired again, I’ll do something, but for now it was a fun idea to bring to life. I’m really happy for the positive reactions to it overall!

WOW That's great, wonderful Jade !!! I don't know if this post is considered for you as a small interview or as a behind the scenes presentation of Once Human Au ... but I must say that the way you wrote the "story" of the project and these details about the characters, made your new project even more interesting. I feel like I am waiting for the new season of a series that you gladly watch with PASSION !!!!!! I CAN'T LOOK AT THE TIME YOU ARE FANTASTIC !!!!!!! <3 <3 <3

For your upcoming Once Human au, what was your process for designing each of the turtles, like choosing their species, their weapons, and their ages? Your au looks really interesting and unlike most fan reinterpretations of the tmnt I've seen and I can't wait to know more about it!

Ooooh, this is such a good question! To be honest, the design process was really difficult for me at first!

I had very fleshed out ideas for their personalities, dynamics, development, and especially, backstory! But I had very little in mind for what they looked like, haha!

So in designing the turtles, I tried to pick weapons, species, and looks while keeping their backstories in mind, but still put a focus on who they are now.

For weapons, I thought a lot about fight styles, looked up a bunch of Japanese weapons, and videos demonstrating their uses, trying to picture each of the characters using them, and picking the ones that I thought fit best.

Picking species was a bit harder because I wanted to keep in mind a few things:

The species’ function/abilities - for example picking a loggerhead turtle for Raph since they have the toughest turtle shells, and I thought that made sense for the team tank

The color scheme - for example picking a black pond turtle to give Donnie a space-and-stars look to fit with their sci-fi theme

Endangered species - all of the turtles and Splinter are endangered species. This didn’t really have a lot to do with their personality or anything, but I like including a bit of environmental awareness in my art and stories if/when I can

For their ages, I kind of just went with my gut and picked what I thought would create interesting character dynamics. Leo is often the oldest brother, so I was curious to see what he’d be like as the youngest. I made Raph and Donnie the same age because there are so few instances of the two of them having lots of interactions in the canon. I want to change that for this iteration, and making them the same age seemed like a good way to do that. Mikey is the middle child to further push the idea that he is the balance of the team.

Oh, and one more character design note - I took a page out of Rise of the TMNT’s book and thought about shape language. I wanted their general body type and shapes to reflect their personalities. So Mikey is all round and friendly, Leo’s plastron and armor is sharp and angular, Donnie’s design contains stiff and blocky shapes, and Raph is large and smooth with his plastron and shell looking like a shield.

Thank you so much for the interest and the kind words! I’m excited to share more and to eventually bring this iteration to life!
