The Leader

A late birthday gift for my big brother. <3 We were raised on TMNT, and he's always liked Leo best. I didn't really develop an appreciation for this character until recently. I always liked him just fine, but I never realized just how relatable he is. I always thought he was too perfect, like Cyclops from X-Men (that's how I always saw him, anyway). The thing is, he's smart and gifted because he has worked himself to the brink of death for the sake of becoming the best person he can be... so he can be the helping hand his brothers need in their darkest hours. He's a lot like my big brother in terms of how hard he is on himself to succeed. He's much stronger than he realizes, and hence the "aura" background. 

To all my DA friends, I have been in SUCH an art funk. What cured me and allowed me to make this was making myself a standing desk with a bunch of storage boxes. Standing while making art helped me create this in under 2 days. That's a record for me. 

Leo's design is based off of Mooncalfe's TMNT comics. I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE her work!!!! Go give her love.

Texture from <--- Thank you!

I miss and love all of my DA friends, and I do plan in becoming very active again soon. I've got projects in the works I hope all of you will like.
