Nick bebop and IDW Rocksteady (primarily from the Micro)
T'was a request from Tumblr, and I felt for drawing them so why not.

Out of curiosity, was it an anonymous request? Because I had quite a lot of requests to draw Bebop and Rocksteady on tumblr.

It was...weird. Because they were always very specific about the way they wanted them dressed.

[Candy Kappa]

yeah, it was a anon.

[Utrommaniac]

So it must have been the same person. They asked for something from another person too...who honestly draws Bebop and Rocksteady a lot more, so it worked better there.

[Candy Kappa]

Who knows... AT least it was a lot simpler then the dude that wanted me to draw his belly dancer OC with me and my "oc's" in similar outfits with a full city background....

I replied with my commission rates and never heard from him again

[Utrommaniac]

Yeah, it was after the third time that person asked was when I started wondering if I should set up commissions.

[Candy Kappa]

It's been a while since I've drawn some Turtles, and the Rooftop Pose thread inspired me since I have never drawn that scene before.

So a drew it, and made a few color variants.

IDW skin tones with red masks

I've never seen Mikey with that weapon before, as I usually see him carry / fight with his nunchucku.

Thanks for also posting the 'prototype colors'. I never knew that that was originally planned for both Turtles - that is, until I saw a video about it.

[Candy Kappa]

Mikey have been using a kusarigama in the Nick show, although it's a nunchaku that transforms to a kusarigama in the show just like Donnie's bo have a built in naginata blade that can pop out.

I had a little bit of a discussion with myself about what weapon Mikey should hold in my piece, at one hand Nunchaku are classic Mikey on the other kusarigama is an actual practical weapon. So I went with practicality but kept the 'chuck holstered, so a bit of both.

[Utrommaniac]

I gotta say, the IDW colors looks super nifty in your style

[ProactiveMan]

Awesome. I like the prototype colour swap scheme the best. It reminds me of all the off-brand merch you used to get in the 80s, where their masks and weapons were all mixed and matched.

Nice, how about some colour and brothers

[Candy Kappa]

Thanks I'll probably color them when I've sketched all four.
