Who trained Matisse in the mystic arts? Her dad, of course! Well, sort of. More like a familiar stranger from another time. They met up through tiny video-call-type portals often after this.
โOh, we can do this together.
I bet you feel better when youโre dancing!โ ๐
I think Iโve maxed out my cheese meter for a while with this but Bootyyyshaker9000 must dance.
I just needed to draw something silly before bed,
[Karamatsu grabbing Jyushi and going โOH MY LITTLE JYUSHIMAAAAAATSSSSUโ but itโs Donnie and baby August]
Donnie spills the August beans to his family.
(100% inspired by AeroA113โs recent post - Iโm so genuinely sorry. Go look at their art - I donโt wanna tag โem to this mess but itโs golden)
This is a mix of a couple pplsโ faults but
@tdubberz
reminded me of A Certain Screenshot and I was like thatโs it thatโs Dad Donnie Core.
Donnie: MY DAUGHTER, WHO TURNED THREE THIS YEAR! HOW WOULD YOU RATE THIS PHOTO OF HER? ADORABLE?? VERY ADORABLE??? VERY VERY ADORABLE????
Wasnโt gonna share this cause August is supposed to be smaller as a baby but it was stupid cute soโฆ.back at it again with embarrassingly soft Papatello content. ๐ฅบ๐
Itโs one thing when youโve got a baby August in a science tube incubator thingy. And itโsโฆkind of a little different when sheโs finally outside itโฆ
That video of someone putting every single different shaped block into the square hole while someone else watches with increasing distress, but itโs Uncle Leo and August.
I mmmade a markings ref for August so Iโd stop bumbling my own character (hopefully). Itโs messy but figured Iโd share! For anyone who draws August tho, please know I donโt mind at all if she isnโt โon modelโ. I think itโs kinda cute seeing other pplsโ spins on her ( ; w ;)a ๐
Slides in here with a big thank you to @/ArtRhyan for giving me the best baby content to slam dunk onto Donnie and Baby Augie. (1/optional but wonderful 2)
Dropping doodle super quick before I bounce again.
Donnieโs google history: โwhat to do when your clone daughter has zero sense of self-preservation, insists on rough housing with your dum-dum brothers, and climbs on everything but wonโt wear anything to protect her soft shell??โ
I always get a little giggle every time I see a โRalphโ instead of โRaphโ. Cause like I know it was someoneโs autocorrect being a menace but itโs so silly. Like ah yes. The Ninja Turtles. Donnie, Leo, Mikey and [looks at smudged writing on hand] Ralph.
This song goes out to @/mishacak3s for putting thoughts of brand new itty bitty baby August, and smitten new dad Donnie into my head. (/grateful) ๐ญ๐ฅบ๐๐๐
-Donnie having an obsessive compulsive spiral over contamination
-washing his hands for like 10 solid minutes cause he just Doesnโt Feel Clean enough
-Mikey finding him crying curled up and when he asks whatโs wrong Donnie replies in phrases repeated 3 times
-heโs spiraling
- ๐งต
I've been too busy to draw anything new for her today, alas, but Happy Birthday to my baby, Augustine Hamato!! I love you, my sweetest little pea. ;w; ๐ A whole OC year old. They grow up so fast TwT ๐๐ฆ๐๐ข Thank you for giving me so much inspiration, joy, and fun, kiddo!!
Realized Iโm probably not going to clean these up so Iโm just gonna share em cause Iโve been thinking about teen August and I love her okay. ๐ฆ๐
I would like to draw attention to the Repo Mantis ep where Donnie and Mikey are both soldering. Mikey canonically knows how to solder (and looks very cute in goggles). More of Donnie and Mikey building stuff together, pls!

I feel like I did Matisse a disservice by introducing her as a gremlin. She is, but more in a subtle way. Normally sheโs super chill. Which is great for young leader August who carries too much self-inflicted expectations.
Donnie VERY shortly after he decides to keep August but hasnโt told anyone about her yet and is still in โWhat am I doing?? Why do I care so much??โ mode is a deeply fascinating creature.
Hey gentle reminder that this is a T*cest-free zone. We donโt ship family members here. I think itโs worth admitting I struggle to differentiate between platonic and romantic content (which can be a little stressful in this fandom), and I canโt reasonably vet everyone I interact
Messy sketchy but listen Donnie and August would be SO in their element at the beach splashing in the water I KNOW this. Donatello ninja turtle told me himself. Softe softe softe.
????? For some reason ?????? The August child. ๐๐ฆ๐๐ซ
(I say it stupid often but I rly am very grateful for the support and love she gets shown - thank you. Itโs genuinely rly cool to have so many other ppl excited about your fan oc that you just love so much yourself ;w; ๐)
Donnie casually squeezing a stress ball as he works.
Donnie getting pissed and abruptly squeezing the stress ball so hard it explodes.
Without missing a beat, he reaches into a draw filled with stress balls and grabs a new one.
This was not the first time.
Iโm so glad the general Rise fandom reclaimed turtle tails. I love them so muchโฆ๐ญ Theyโre just so cuteโฆand fun design additionsโฆevery time I see a Raph with a big ol dino tail or there are cute lil tail waggies when the boys are happy I just. Itโs good pure content, ur honor.

My menace: Matisse Hamato!
(This whole spread is kinda chaotic but so is Mattie so it works)
(Pls remember to untag ppl if u reply!)
Iโve got a secret for you, kids.
If you create with the mindset โIโm doing this because it excites me.โTHATโS what makes art good. It gives the art a spark. It gives it soul. You can TELL when someone had fun making art - that joy elevates the work and excites other ppl in turn.
Itโs already after 10 so I probably wonโt finish this lil thing Iโm drawing tonight but I took my own dang self out with this particular bitty August in it.
Listen I was just gonna lose my sanity if I didnโt do a quick simple thingy with those stupid cute doodles @/absoliutely did a while back. Major credit to them cause I basically traced the upper bodies - there was an ENERGY I wanted to attempt to keep.
They are just so silly
Thereโs still 3 more hours to vote for August or Replica in the TMNT AU Comp on tumbles UwU
Replica characters belong to the magnificent
@kittykathaynes
My earliest proto-August sketches. Iโve altered and refined her so much since then. Sheโs come so far. ๐ฅบ
(Donโt retweet this pls itโs so old and messy. I just like looking back on where OCs started - itโs fun to see the growth!)
Just remembered a rough little doodle I did when the power was out. Donnie and his kids watching a movie. I know in my heart he has a bunch more robot kids tho and theyโre all there too.
Looks like he could kill you but is a cinnamon roll: Raph
Looks like a cinnamon roll but could actually kill you: Mikey
Looks like a cinnamon roll and is a cinnamon roll: Leo
Looks like he could kill you and would actually kill you: Donnie

"I love all the ninja turtles equally" I say while swaddling Donnie in a blanket and rocking him like a baby and smooching his big ol forehead. He's screaming the whole time. It's fine. ๐๐๐
