Senescent Mutant Ninja Turtles

Description

I am NOT in the right mode to generate art right now, but I felt like I had to draw something before my damn head explodes. So here you go. I was kind of stuck on how to make "naturalistic"-looking anthro turtles until I realized they could be depicted in a crouching rather than a fully erect posture. They look "natural" enough here that I could almost more easily see them as part of the Viking Penguin world [link] [link] rather than the Turtles universe.

The tortoise at bottom is probably my favorite. Top is the weakest, but I do like the sensory barbels repurposed as catfish whiskers. The middle mutant mata [link] could just as easily be a kappa, I think, so I gave the slight suggestion of a bowl in his head, just in case.

You know, turtles kind of look like little old men anyway. But then, so do I at this point.
