Just Thought Of Something For The Boi's.

The Amazing Digital Circus finally got to me....

With that said, allow me to introduce you to the circus's very own...

Animal Tamer!!

Abel!

Aka, my own personal take on the speculation surrounding C&A.

There's biblical imagery in TADC if you look for it, especially when it comes to our beloved Ringmaster himself, Caine, who's believed to be named after the first murderer in the bible. That paired with the C&A logo that briefly shows up has led people to believe that Caine had a brother named Abel.

This is just what I think Abel would look like if he does show up in the future or at all. I imagine Abel's an AI, like Caine, but is surprisingly emotionally intelligent and ran the program that allowed humans to leave the circus. (Slight reference to @fannele's version of Able) If we follow the pilot, then something happened to him, but since Caine was described to be a silly guy by @gooseworx themselves, I don't think he had anything to do with it. (If he did it might've been an accident.) The programmers might have potentially removed Abel or accidentally deleted him for some reason, we can't know for sure.

Those are just my thoughts on Abel and whether it's right or wrong, I don't really care. I just like how this guy came out! I'll be honest though, I probably should've chosen a better pose that convey's Abel's personality a bit more. That and he just generally looks like Caine but with a different outfit and a different head. He low-key looks like if Caine wanted a to wear a very slight Sonic themed outfit.

Idk, I guess I just subconsciously wanted Caine and Abel to be twins. (Darn it ninja turtles you have invaded my brain even now!!).

Anyways. That's just my take, hope you like!

I came up with an idea for the Mutant Mashup AU that's both cute and sad at the same time?

Basically, Niccolo (2012 Donnie) does funny voices and songs for his brother's and cousins. Simoni (2012 Mikey) and Orange (Rise Mikey) in particular love it when Nico sings or does the voices cause it made them laugh a lot when they were younger. That was needed especially when Yoshi and Lou got into a fight or something and the boys wanted a distraction for a bit. Little man could do lots of voices too! He could have a whole conversation with several different voices talking, Blue (Rise Leo) and Purple (Rise Donnie) try to get Nico to say the most random things ever. The disaster twins and Sanzio (2012 Raph) seem to love the way he says ✨"Croissant"✨ Red (Rise Raph) tries not to laugh but he cracks pretty easy. DaVinci (2012 Leo) and Purple loved learning about the world as kids and frequently asked Nico if he could sing the "Countries of the World" song, that one was their favorite. Little DaVinci also loved the "alien" voice Nico did.

Nico himself loves making his family laugh with the funny voices and while he doesn't do it as much as a teenager, he's still very willing to speak in silly voices and songs if they ask.

Which is why he was belting out silly songs at 4 am to Simoni after the events of "The Power Inside Her." DaVinci and Sanzio hung around him more often but Simoni was especially clingy, Sanzio didn't let 2012 April near Nico for a few days. Purple and Blue were also kinda on the fence about her seeing their cousin but they eventually relented when Rise April and 2012 Casey talked to them.

Does anybody headcanon that Mikey or Leo from ROTTMNT sometimes mix up their words or just forget specific words that they have to then translate to Raph and Donnie what the word is?

Like Leo will ask for Raph to pass over the syrup but can't remember the name so he calls it, "waffle water." Or when Mikey hands Donnie his mug he forgets the word coffee and ends up calling it "bean juice."

I've been doodling a lot of turtles lately. These are the results.

Just some Rise boys, specifically, the Mutant Mashup boys. I started off with Donnie in like a crouching pose for funsies but thought soon after, "huh, what if I just practice drawing his expressions from the show?" Now look at em.

Some musings below the cut if you wanna read.

Their markings aren't set in stone, I can't decide between diamonds for Raph or something closer to those concept ninpo markings on Twitter for him. Leo is already pretty decked out with markings so not much to add there. Aside from maybe two more stripes that grow up to the corners of his mouth as he ages, or maybe extra stripes on his legs, Leo's pretty much set. Mikey's in the same boat, though I like to add extra spots for flavor. I had a little more fun with Donnie's marks. I liked the thought of him having a mark over his nose, it kinda looks like a bandaid which I enjoy. Plus I gave him some marks on his face that kinda match Leo's y'know, disaster twins and all. I intended to give him a mark on his neck for his "unemotional bad boy image," but I kept forgetting to add it and just decided to scrap it.

Since I shared the Rise kiddos, I'll just add the 2012 boys. Consider it an early reference for their face markings.

These boys I didn't use references for so they are off model quite a bit. The doodles were only meant to show their markings anyway so they'll do for now.

Since these boys are technically quadruplets, I decided to give them matching/mirrored marking placements and all their markings relate to their elemental ninpo. DaVinci's got a cloud on his right cheek which is opposite to Sanzio's, who's got a fire mark on his left cheek. Niccolo's got a splotchy marking on his right eye, completely opposite to Simoni's lightning bolt mark on his left eye. I'm not totally sold on Simon's eye mark and am probably gonna tweak it a bit.

Also, I didn't realize it but Zio and Nico have the same smile. Same with Vin and Simon.

Final note: I do still want to make them look like TMNT 2012 to an extent, so more practice and more references to come.

That should be all, I've got a few doodles that I wanna explain in another post but they gotta wait until I'm more rested. This one was just an explanation.

Stay safe y'all!!

Something a little different

Cult of the Lamb has been peaking my interest lately and wanted to shove my favorite brother sister duo into it.

I wanted to draw Rock and Roll as the Lamb and the Goat respectively, but their regular hair colors just looked off so I left them with white and gray hair.

Also, yes I did chop off a lot of Roll's hair, what of it?

I think at some point I'll swap them so that Rock has his regular hair color and Roll has her blonde hair back. Of course it'll be like a platinum blonde but whatever.

Oop, my bad!

I genuinely didn't mean to worry you! I was busy visiting family from out of town, and I ran out of pages in my sketchbook too, so I couldn't draw my boi.

I have a new doodle book now so more posts like this should be coming out more often!

Just thought of something for the boi's.

Whenever Purple gets sick, he tries to power through it and usually goes straight to working on one of his projects. Von Ryan over here hates getting sick, everything feels awful, his nose is congested, and the increase in temperature makes him feel gross. Not a great time in his humble opinion.

Luckily! He gets caught by the Medic Duo-

This time Sanzio caught Blue eating his snacks and proceeded to give chase until they both heard Purple sniffle. It's all good though.

They make a great team when the fam needs help.

Mighty no. 9 and Balan Wonderworld are far from the best or most polished games (I'm well aware that you can't even jump in Balan Wonderworld depending on power up), but I also can't help but adore the characters and come up with random bits of headcanons for em.

Don't really know why but I think I just like how these characters look? (Seriously, for as clunky as the gameplay for Balan Wonderworld was, you can't tell me that his design looked bad)

Mighty no. 9 also had the bosses show bits of personality and help Beck out depending on which Mighty Number you've defeated which I actually really liked. Not a hundred percent sure if we got that sort of thing in Megaman, but I thought it was nice. Makes the Mighty Numbers feel more like family members y'know? And I friggin LOVE family moments between robots. Their voices also had me laughing, they made me cringe and I loved em.

I can't get enough of the Balan Wonderworld art style either. It's so charming, I friggin love it. Not as much found family vibes, but they still got the loveable host that learns through observation vibes. That's enough for me to like the game, the characters at least.

(NOTE: Before anyone reads this, yes, it's out-dated. Especially my views on Balan. I'm allowed to like what I like. But this is not the way to go about it. You are allowed to like and dislike something based on your own opinion.. but at least give the games a try.)

(Another note: You're not obligated to read the sequel. But also, please do not harass anyone who likes or dislikes a game. That's petty.)

Me, who likes Balan Wonderworld and Mighty No. 9 AND is still a Gamer (albeit a Casual one): Yeah the game wasn't good, but it's still good to me.

Gamer who hates Balan Wonderworld: But it's bad tho??

Me: So? Go read Balan, if you want more story. *tosses book at the gamer who hates balan wonderworld*

Gamer who hates Mighty No. 9: What port did you play? Wii U? Wasn't that the worse port?

Me: Whilst I do agree with you that Mighty No. 9's Wii U port is the worst of the options available.. I still enjoy the game even after all these years.

Toxic Gamer: Fuck you then!! I'm gonna go back to my GTA!

Me: ...Okay? *sigh* Now, gamers, not all of you are like the three above. Only a fraction of you are. But like.. can a girl enjoy her games even if they are bad? Like, fuck, I LOVE Mega Man 8 unironically, and that (to most people) is the worst Mega Man game! And heck, I'll say it: I'll still be a Gamer, but I love to keep an open-mind about things! So I'll still be a Gamer, but I won't say I hate something just because of what everyone else says.. because that's stupid.

My little brother asked me to draw his characters so:

I lied to you, they did commit a crime.
