[Descriptive: Cleaned sketch/line art redesign of Leonardo and Donatello from Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as early/mid 20s adults as the 'AU' this takes place in is several years post-canon] HC they still don't really wear shoes, they just get in the way lol, so they still wear the ninja socks plus arm wraps/belts and Donnie has one of those mask like Cass did while in the Foot clan still (neck wraps = mask? cartoon logic) Big jackets that are flashy and probably aren't functional = Leo And also, i know that most redesigns give Donnie overalls, but i consider overalls to be a textural nightmare so, jumpsuit instead (and he can let the jacket part hang over his hips if he needs more mobility) and i love the idea that the Turtles' markings 'grow'? so i did something similar. except no goatee for Don 𐙚⋆°｡⋆♡ i know it's not everyone's experience, but visually I didn't change much from teenage to early 20's aside from putting on weight and my style fluctuating, although my brain developed a little. So i wanna bring that into my Rise! designs for my forever family lol
