Would the turtles still be as popular if they were females? - Page 8

Y'all inspired me to do a female design of Leonardo:

SECOND good TMNT genderbent design I've seen on this thread.

No Plastron Double Z's, thank God.

Hah, very cute, thumbs up!

Just proved it's entirely possible to give a sense that it's a girl while being subtle about it.

I took the idea and ran with it. Unfortunately I'm out of sketch paper and don't have a lot of time to draw these days so its all very crude

Spoiler for size

Colors are based off of what colored pencil my daughter wasn't using at the time and I threw on a RES spot just for kicks.

Woah. Not keen on the idea of female turtles, but that is good artwork, Powder.

PangolinFeets · 07-31-2015, 03:07 PM

Love it, Powder.
Stuff like this makes me really want to see IDW tackle a character like Venus and give her a complete rehaul. Like, make her huuuge, give her a white bandanna and make her a rival of the turtles or something. There are so many ways it can be done other than ****ing shellboobs.

*BubblyShell22* · 07-31-2015, 05:05 PM

Love your designs, Powder and Bombshell. Those are awesome and a good way to draw them.

*Rooish* · 07-31-2015, 06:16 PM

I didn't read this whole thread but the answer to the initial question is no.

ticktack · 08-01-2015, 12:45 AM

I can also put, what I'm going to write, under the spoiler so... if you're interested, I'm going to write my thoughts about female characters, that's what it is about.

Enjoy.

Spoiler:

Going back to the topic, I may suggest a headcanon:
If canon April is white (exept the Mirage one, it's a little doubtful) you can make sunburnt male April AU, because of variety of stories, a little twists, etc or... for a little reference

I did a quick drawing my own rendition off a girl ninja turtle.

Bombshell · 08-02-2015, 07:23 PM

I love it, Candy! Great job!!

*pennydreadful* · 08-02-2015, 09:09 PM

Big thumbs up to the members who posted their own art of female Turtles.

I got a real kick out of seeing your interpretations, and thank you for the lack of pink, lipstick and OTT boobage!

*ProactiveMan* · 08-02-2015, 10:48 PM

Yeah, you's are cool. Makes me want to draw some now.

*IndigoErth* · 08-02-2015, 11:12 PM

Great job, guys.

Make me wish I was talented enough in that department to jump in, but love seeing your work.

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 08-02-2015, 11:47 PM

Ditto what Indigo said. but since I'm a writer and not an artist.....

*THGhost* · 08-03-2015, 10:39 AM

Sure, why not? I'd watch that show.

*BubblyShell22* · 08-04-2015, 08:44 AM

Awesome drawing, Candy. So cool.

*ProactiveMan* · 08-06-2015, 04:42 AM

This is pretty scrappy, but it's not too bad(ish). Don't think too hard about the leg warmers, I just think leg warmers are cool.

Enjoy. Spoiler: Discussing about females beginning with something (as the thread title) is a one of the starts. I think I can talk about females which are more likely to be in the show (in general not only tmnt) or are already there. Main female character, protagonist, for this cartoon - April. So what are they usually: sexy, pleasant looking or, at worst, just too much, poundering-wise(?). Being, as it called, sexy I find to be a variety (1 out of 6 or as you might know/think) and not exclusive for women, and being cute or sexy comes out of a free wish or will of a woman or an individual in general. I guess in a male heavy show where there is at least not as much females as males, maybe you should tone down on the sexy part for a female character, which are few out there, because making sexy could be a pink-bow situation or type of a stereotype (? maybe), because that has been done many times within media with few females or women around there, you know right? Going back to the topic, I may suggest a headcanon: If canon April is white (exept the Mirage one, it's a little doubtful) you can make sunburnt male April AU, because of variety of stories, a little twists, etc or... for a little reference .
