I feel that Mikey and Leo would definitely have meaner thoughts towards draxum if they were raised by splinter. I’m also guessing Donnie loves draxum because he was favored.

I am in love with this. I really like Donnie and Leo’s movements. They feel like how they’d act. We didn’t get to see much of Mikey or Raph, but I’m interested in seeing their half of the story animated. Another thing I’d like to note, Leo’s shoulder shimmy EEE! Why do I love it? I love it.

You know, this actually makes me question who would've been the better father for Donnie whe they were growing up. I mean, yes, Splinter is occasionally a good father, and yes, Draxums evil, but they have two opposites to the kids. Splinter probably would have been a better father to Raph, Leo, and Mikey, in this scenario, because they have enough traits of Lou Jitsu to get noticed. Strength, (raph) flamboyancy (Leo) agility (Mikey) and when you put Donnie in there, he doesn't quite fit. Because he has traits more from draxum. Intelligence, with a mix of slight mad scientist, put in there. This would obviously give him more attention from Draxum, and less attention from Splinter, simply because he isn't interested in those things. whereas with his brothers, it's the exact opposite. And if Donnie had to chose between having a father who loved him for his mind, and unique abilities, Vs a father who loved him, but didn't get to know him, he'd probably choose the first one. anyways, sorry for this rather long character essay, I shall take my leave. Your animatics really good, btw.

I love the moment Leo has, even though Leo hates Draxum, he’s important to Donnie, and Donnie is important to Leo. Leo sees he’s upset and doesn’t think twice after that. Love that visual storytelling

I would like to kindly request the entire story please!

OMG THIS IS SUCH AN INCREDIBLE AU IDEA- this animatic is so fluid and flawlessly well done- everyone feels in character and Donnie’s history with Baron makes sense especially since he doesn’t want his dad to get hurt
