As the title says, this is Umi (girl) and Sen (TMNT)
from a rather epic fanfiction I've been working on.

At this point, these two haven't even been conceived in the current fan-fic timeline. XD

So this would be them as teenagers.

"Umi" is japanese for ocean, and the girl was inadvertently adopted by Raphael after her father, who was a foot ninja, was killed for failure in a mission.

"Sen" is japanese for 1,000; the name chosen because old folklore says that a tortoise that lives for 1000 years will be able to speak in Human tongue and foresee the future.

There are two other "new-genners" who are also turtles; but none of these guys were conceived by random inexplicable pregnancies or some other such nonsense. =p

The three new-gen TMNT are all mutations like their care-takers, the original TMNT....

Oh! Yes, of course...Sen was created from a "Black-knob Saw-back turtle." =) If you go to "turtlesale.com" and look through the pics of baby turtle breeds, you should find that particular type, if you're curious.

His coloration is pretty much taken from his breed,(hence the very yellow skin) except for the black stripes, which would look spectacular, but be very difficult to draw over and over in the future. ^_^;

Now I gotta draw the other two!! w00t!

=/ Thankies?

I been sketching a group pic of the other two turtles in class today,
so I have to edit out all the notebook paper lines. XD

I'm actually slightly annoyed with this pic, cuz I got impatient and rushed it.
Buuut, that's okay, cuz my super special awesome roomate is letting me use her ';pooter from time to time for future colorings. (Yay!! Thankyou Vel!)

No, I mean, I like the expressions and stuff; the turtle's legs a little off, but eh. I like the character interaction, too, and the design. :)

You can take out notebook paper lines easily by removing the cyan or blue channel from the files - if you're using photoshop, and the notebook uses blue lines.

There were some really cute I <3 the turtles buttons at the con...

Lucky! D=

^_^; Yeah, I don't usually draw pics of character interaction, but as far as that goes, I'm happy with the way this turned out. It's just the lazy coloring job that irks me. =/

Ooh, coolies. The simple touchy bits on the shell are probably my favorite bit besides the sketch itself. And dude.... ^_^ sankuu.

"I can't help being in love."

Is that what love is?
Some stupid cliche'?
