![Thus I decided to make this fanart, based on that piece of promotional photography to really complete the image we all had.
I followed as best as I could the official model sheets produced for the cartoon series. Also I have to mention that I was going to make an alternate version featuring April's redesign in the "RED SKY" seasons, something I may do later, who knows.
=ⒻⓊⓃ ⒻⒶⒸⓉ=
The model number and letters present in the camera April is holding are a "hidden reference" that is a bit convoluted but makes sense to some degree...
- MIRAEYE [which sounds like the word MIRAI, which is "Future" in Japanese], but the G, if you remove the YE and position the G between the A and E... you get the word "MIRAGE"
- K is shorter for Kevin Eastman and P is shorter for Peter Laird
- 84 is short for the year 1984, the year the first issue of the TMNT comic was published by Mirage.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6kkugi5xqdwgp3ynf45tfh5m/bafkreibgp3dk5m5wkhq5o4pjyzo6si4utvtgnoc32bx6njv4v7coka2bcu)

There's a Doujinshi called "𝐍𝐨𝐢𝐬𝐲 𝐒𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐔𝐭𝐬𝐮𝐤𝐮𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐤𝐢 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐫𝐲𝐚𝐤𝐮𝐬𝐡𝐚 𝐅𝐮𝐤𝐤𝐨𝐤𝐮𝐛𝐚𝐧 [ウル星セブン]" which essentially a mashup between the crazy world of Rumiko Takahashi's Urusei Yatsura and the Scifi Tokusatsu classic Ultraseven. It exists, and bundled in said fanmade publication was a short story featuring another Rumic mash with another Ultra series; RANMA 1/2 & ULTRAMAN LEO.
And in said short segment we get to see the cast of Ranma as the MAC defense team with Ranma themselves... Hilariously transforming into Leo through a well placed splashing of water instead of the Leo ring~ and even more hilarously is that Genma is casted as a Pandafied Alien Magma. A shame we didn't spend more time with this mash but what is there is fun.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6kkugi5xqdwgp3ynf45tfh5m/bafkreicrnhly4z56ztolb72yfssc6ym5eoqlakpcmpz4av2audzhoie7g4)

While I was waiting for the client of the last commission I posted [thus far as of the writting of this post being the 4th] to update the color paletter of their rodent adventurer I decided to treat myself to a fanart/interpretation of Gobots' Crasher, only for it to devolve a little bit into a homage of the classic NEWTYPE magazine of Anime and Pop Culture and....well...here we are! wrapped up these two together [and as of the time of me writting this, waiting for more clients to show up].

- Ball Pen Robo, their original and self-explanatory name.
- She wasn´t featured in the MR 600 series, instead Ball Pen Robo is a limited figure part of the MACHINE ROBO WORLD CAMPAIGN which, if you collected some points or proof of purchase, Bandai/Popy would Mail or give away this figure in both a blueish or black color.

- This figure is a 3 for 1 ordeal, you get a fun robot, space shuttle, and functioning ball pen and I like how they managed to balance the idea for the design [but like all classic toys of the 80's this fella is hard to get in terms of price and such so].

- Their adopted name is Penny
- Despite their looks, they're not to be percieved as a meer machine, they behold a power of transdimensional travel and reality manipulation by way of creating tracing lines with her pen, giving her the skill to see all possibilities of a timeline or dimension, as if flipping through a diary.
- Despite their power, they mean well and given her nature as a responsible individual she dosen't want to mess with any dimensions for greed or chaos, instead she uses her powers for educatively-historical purposes for all to see.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6kkugi5xqdwgp3ynf45tfh5m/bafkreih6xfiprjs742ccmlk6zkxfyf6ubbsifrjqms3bjlfve2h6msuvmu)

1- I attempted to capture the style of Masami Obari's shading and overall vibe with his classic Mecha Designs for this.
2- Crasher's Battlemask~ we haven't seen her real face yet!

The idea being, establishing "gobotron" as a colony or testing ground for the Romulans that went disconected from Romulos, its fate, and the conflict between them and the Devil Invaders, as for the rise of both Guardians and Renegades...I´ll leave that door open, but suffice to say, the friendship between 𝐑𝐚𝐢𝐤𝐚𝐫𝐝 & 𝐃𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐫𝐝 [aka: Leader-1 & Cy-Kill] was never the same.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6kkugi5xqdwgp3ynf45tfh5m/bafkreibpv6aiqepus32b7k2v6ahfij5cnzf5l5kgx2vxvmvbs5g7mthw4q)

FUN FACT: the background color palette for this artwork is inspired and/or taken from an old painting from Ray Bradbury's short story; "The Fog Horn" [which has an intrinsic relationship with Ray Harryhausen's first feature film "The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6kkugi5xqdwgp3ynf45tfh5m/bafkreibqa3mqt2beadinbbi7k2tz7duvhfeqafeyx6ek6dl4oulpqpvbdi)

This is one of my first attempts to try and emulate the style of the ever iconic "cel animation" process seen through the entire era of hand-drawn animation; especially with the ever popular Dragon Ball franchise. I even tried to emulate the "film grain" seen in such pieces of analog material that´s present across many samples of say, in this case; DRAGON BALL Z and its animation cels or film reels, [especially those lucky samples where the 16MM. films didn´t suffer from degradation just yet].

1) For my interpretation of Susan/Ginormica I took inspiration from Bruce Timm's iconic art style [the DNA of the critically acclaimed DCAU] while taking a bit of inspiration from the online artist M4RJINN and essentially create a nice match of both.
2) Susan's/Ginormica's outfit is heavily inspired by the Showa era of Ultraman; specifically Ultraseven's defense organization, the Ultra Guard and it's uniforms--the only thing I retained from the fatigues/utilitarian uniform she wears for half of the film is the orange and black color palette [though if you ask me about the full outfit it would probably have a small touc…](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6kkugi5xqdwgp3ynf45tfh5m/bafkreie4bzlfi4ldpvdxmzwzqpbresl7ldyj6kwhw2haipgu5psbxx7qrq)
