What's the 411, April? #TMNT

Edited illustration page showing where each of the main three Aprils come from and explaining that the art wouldn't have happened without the NECA April figure depicting her as black. The top right is a screenshot of the trivia from Mirage April's wiki page explaining how she was originally intended to be Asian before being given the name of Kevin Eastman's late wife "April" and being depicted in earlier issues as black. The other notes from the artist call Rise April 'beloved' and a wish that Mutant Mayhem/Tales April had more screentime. There is a note in the bottom right corner calling them so so cool.

Edit of the additional April and some of their depictions in the media they're from. On the left is Magic the Gathering April with the bundle box that features her pointing at a fight between the turtles and their enemies as well as a few of the cards featuring her. On the right is Naruto crossover April with some screenshots of her designs and panels featuring her from the crossover comic as well as comparing how similar she is to 87 April.

Poorly edited infographics for anyone unfamiliar with any of these awesome Aprils!

Colored illustration of every black April O'Neil from TMNT standing together under a streetlight on a random sidewalk corner. Mirage April is the tallest, looking down at the shorter Aprils and depicted with dark skin, long permed black hair, gold jewelry, and a brown jacket over a red shirt with blue jeans and purple sneakers. Rise April is on the left with the back of her green jacket showing the pizza-like Hamato Clan symbol and holding up her cat-cased phone with an incoming call from her Casey and her dog yokai creature Mayhem by her feet. On the right is Mutant Mayhem April chewing contemplatively on the end of a pen as she holds up a notepad. Walking towards them from a crosswalk are Magic the Gathering April and Naruto crossover April who are happily chatting with each other.

April O'Neils are on the case! (Belated Black History Month art be upon ye!!)

I need to be not normal about a piece of fiction again I need to gnash and claw at the walls of my home and howl at the moon about a story that irrevocably changes my outlook on life

Bonus doodle page of Angel and Mikey reacting to Goofy's "death" scene from Kingdom Hearts 2. Mikey goes "Whuh?!?" as Angel says, "Umm? Did Goofy just DIE??" The tiny scene below is of Mikey doing the Mickey Mouse voice saying "They'll PAY for this." which makes Angel wheeze laugh and tell him to shut up.

Bonus

Panel one of a 3 panel comic with TMNT 2003 Angel and Mikey sitting on a couch as Angel lays back on a cushion texting her girlfriend as Mikey, with his mask pushed over his forehead, sits next to her while rapidly pressing buttons on a ps2 controller. The text thread is Angel's gf (labeled babe <3) asking who Mikey's fighting. When Angel describes Demyx, Angel's girlfriend responds with an OOF and tells Angel to make sure she watches the cutscene afterwards. Demyx's voiceline "Dance water, dance!" comes from the unseen TV.

Panel 2: Mikey pauses the game and lowers his controller as his face scrunches up with many jagged frustration lines surrounding him. Angel glances at him bemused.

Panel 3: Mikey finally goes "...OK." and then unpauses the game, letting voicelines from Sora, Donald, and Goofy continue. Angel lowers her phone and snickers asking, "You good, bro?" Mikey replies, "Yuuup! Just had to y'know- re-experience every embarrassing moment in my entire life."

Hanging with the bestie and texting your gf as bestie plays kh2 for the ps2 for the first time

I love looking up references for small art details with my adhd ass brain <-is going to spend too long doing so and lose motivation to actually draw the thing

Sometimes I feel bad about not interacting with my favorite streamers’ chats but then I remember my terrible parasocial hours with [redacted] yt group from ye olde times (pre-2015) and I realize I’m doing fine actually

My brain: you have so many wips dude

Me: brrrrrrrrrghh skateboarding reference photos… Tony Hawk…

Oh the ever-present mental nagging to work on existing projects and then be grabbed by the throat by a new idea

Colored pose redraw illustration of an older Casey from Rise of the TMNT. She is standing in side profile while wearing a cyan pocket tee half tucked into belted grey pants with a carabiner holding a few keys in the belt loop as she cradles in one hand a big bouquet of tall red flowers surrounded by various green leaves wrapped in clear cellophane. She has various piercings and scars on her light brown skin and a red jeweled engagement ring on her right ring finger. Her long dark hair is partially up using a red alligator clip with a visible patterned side shave and red sunglasses perched on top of her head. Her expression is passive and slightly agape as she looks down at a red blossom held between her dark painted nail fingers in her other hand. The background is blue with blurred colorful bouquets in the foreground.

Photo of actor Jeremy Allen White holding a tall bouquet of red flowers in one arm while looking down at a single blossom in his other hand. He is wearing a blue shirt and belted khakis and has sunglasses perched in his hair.

Pose redraw with my older Casey design because I miss her (she's getting flowers for her fiancee, hehe)

Colored illustration of TMNT 2003 Splinter kneeling in front of a flower pot wearing a red robe that's slightly patched up. He has one eye open with his mouth partially open as he notices a small white butterfly perched on the tip of his right ear. He's holding a green watering can aloft in one hand as a pot with a dirt and trowel rest on his right side with his tail curling lazily around it. His other hand rests on the dark rectangular pot in front of him with its visible side decorated with paint of a blue handprint, a purple handprint, and orange smiley face, and a smeared red handprint clearly done by his young turtle sons. The pot is filled with purple blooming asters. The background is a soft green.

Colored Illustration of TMNT 2003 April as a child wearing a shortsleeved purple hoodie under light denim overalls and her red hair done up in a bun with a braid wrapped around it and tied with a pink ribbon. She is sitting with her legs bent and feet touching as she cradles a golden pot filled with different kinds of succulents in her hands. She smiles with a smattering of freckles along her nose and cheeks as she looks up and to the right at something unseen. The background is a light pinkish red.

Colored illustration of TMNT 2003 Casey as a child wearing a red shirt over a white shirt with the sleeves pushed up, cuffed jeans, gold wristbands, and brown sneakers. He sits with his legs pretzeled in front of him while smiling goofily at the small pot of dandelions that he's holding up in his palms. The background is a soft yellow.

[2/2] Plus the rest of the fam!

Colored illustration of TMNT 2003 Mikey as a turtle tot with his mask wrapped around his neck smiling and looking playfully off to the top right. He is clutching a big flower pot in both hands with a huge sunflower taller than his head sprouting from it. The background color is a light blue.

Colored illustration of TMNT 2003 Donnie as a turtle tot with his mask pushed up on his forehead. He sits with his shell facing the screen, chin turned up as he smiles, looking off at whoever off-screen is getting his attention. His legs are crossed as he holds a big book with the visible page titled 'Chrysanthemums' as a purple pot of colorful chrysanthemums rests beside him. The background is a light red.

Colored illustration of TMNT 2003 Leo as a turtle tot kneeling in front of a rectangular blue pot filled with water and lotus leaves and blossums.

Colored illustration of TMNT 2003 Raph as a turtle tot as he sits with a big pot full of dragon's breath flowers cradled between his limbs and his mask tied around the top of his head like a bandana.

The background is a soft purple.

Same as first page but without the text

Textless first page cuz I really like how it came out!

Page 1 illustration of Chapter 5 of the SAINW Roadtrip AU Book 1 Reunion depicting Don and Leo sitting on either side of a campfire with the silhouettes of trees behind them and a vast night sky above them. Lit by the fire, Don sits with Usagi's sword with the turtle shell charm sheathed and resting on his lap as he looks up at the sky with his mask pushed above his brow. He asks "Do you remember stargazing on the rooftops as kids?" Across from him, Leo stares passively, sitting with one hand resting on his knee while the other hand cradles his two swords against his shoulder, a wooden rabbit foot charm hanging from one hilt.

Page 2 comic illustration of Chapter 5 of Roadtrip Reunion. The upper left panel depicted older Leo's stoic face lit by the campfire. The main illustration is Don and Leo as turtle tots sharing a blanket on a rooftop of a completely dark city and marveling up at the stars. Their faces are agape in childlike wonder as kid Don points up at something while kid Leo follows the gesture with his eyes and keeps hold of the shared blanket with one hand. The bottom right panel shows older Leo turning his face away and saying "Not really, no."

He says, like a lying liar would say.

Ch. 5 of the SAINW Roadtrip AU out now! That feel when you try to bond with your older brother from an alternate universe and he tries to shut it down like an idiot.

About to eat spaghetti with chopsticks because I forgot to bring a fork from home and I couldn’t find a disposable fork in the break room

Illustration page of TMNT 2003 Mikey posing with a custom orange letterman jacket with white and gray sleeves, the front decorated with gold stripes and a white circled symbol on the left side and the back decorated with a circular red and black turle symbol overlayed with bold gold text saying Battle Nexus Champion. The first pose is Mikey smiling with a wink wearing the jacket and an orange bucket hat with a gold leaf laurel embroidered along the sides as he gestures towards the purple gem of the Medal for Unparalleled Honor he's wearing around his neck. The second pose, Mikey shows off the back of the jacket, smiling proudly with a raised thumb pointing to the text. The last pose is a full body shot of Mikey in action, his posture low as he raises one of his nunchaku up while twirling the other in front of him. He smiles with his tongue sticking out, and his medal shines as it jostles against his plastron.

Just in case the Medal for Unparalleled Honor isn't enough for folks to recognize the Champ (y'all, I'm so damn EXCITED for the Battle Nexus comic!!)

Screenshot from the TMNT 2003 episode Reflections. Casey and April sitting on a picnic blanket by the trees near the farmhouse. They just sat down after April calmed Casey down and are just now realizing they're still holding hands.

The 03 screenshots I referenced:

Screenshot redraw of Rise of the TMNT April. It's a close up of her face and shoulders as she glares and scowls at the camera wearing a cream colored turtleneck and her hair part up in a single poof with poofy bangs in the front and two braided strands framing her face and ending in gold rings.

Screenshot redraw of Rise of the TMNT Casey. Wearing 03 Casey's fit, Rise Casey leans back in a blue chair as she does bicep curls with a big weight in her left hand. She glares forward framed by the light of an unseen tv which casts her mostly in shadow.

Screenshot redraw of Rise of the TMNT Casey and April. Casey wear's 03 Casey's fit plus a long dark collared coat and April wears a dark green suit jacket and skirt combo over a yellow collared shirt and dark tights. They are both holding onto the metal bar of a mostly unseen vehicle as they shoot forward quickly, their expressions wide eyed and gaping. One of Casey's hands is around April's waist to hold her steady.

Screenshot redraw of Rise of the TMNT Casey and April. Sat on a blue checkered picnic blanket by the edge of a tree and foliage on a sunny day, Casey and April look at each other in almost awed surprise as they hold each others hands seeming in mid handshake. Casey wears a red tank and green pants, her muscular arms covered in bruises and pale scars. A scar splits her brow and she has two friendship bracelets and a purple muscle bandaid on her right arm. Her dark hair is short and shaggy as she looks at April with a lidded eye softness. April wears a crop top pink tank with a tiny yellow kitty head symbol across the left breast, a yellow choker, and denim shorts with a green belt. Part of her hair is up with a pink scrunchie, and she has her Mad Dogz communicator around her left wrist and a green friendship bracelet around her right. Her expression is wide eyed, mouth partially agape as she looks at Casey.

Capril screenshot redraws for funsies and cuteness!
