So not too long ago I did a picture of TMNT’s April O’Neil, based off a poll I ran. Someone saw it and liked it, and has lined up what looks to be an impressive series of commissions using the character. This here is the first of them, featuring April on the turtles’ couch with Donatello and Leonardo.
A while ago I ran a poll asking all of you who your favorite 80’s cartoon babe was. April won out in a landslide with far more votes than anyone else. Since you guys wanted to see her so bad, I thought I’d draw up a nice little picture of her being shared between the four turtles.
Funny anecdote, here. The one turtle with a visible face was originally Donatello, but when I saw how he turned out (maybe it was the angry eyes?) I decided he looked more like Raphael.
I always liked this version of April. The 2003 and 2012 versions of her have their own charms, and I may draw them at some point (especially the new loli version, though I think I like Karai even more). I’d really like to do more of the 1987 April, though, maybe something in a tattered yellow jumpsuit…
