TMNT- Tell Me Who We Are by xSkyeCrystalx on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Can somebody tell me who I am? Will I ever learn to live my dream? Will I be in harmony with the river deep underneath my skin? Can somebody tell me who we are ? We strayed from our path much too far...

Done. Done. DONE !! I started it almost 4 weeks ago, can you believe it? I can't. It didn't took so long but I was just... dunno. Stucked. I wasn't happy with the lineart and still not, but I tried to work with the color and i'm a little more pleased now. Except for Leo. He is totally awkward when he was the first I had in mind, I feel bad to messed up with him... Maybe I'll find the courage to do it again? Background suck, I know. I could have done better. >.< Sorry. It's not complaining for having pity, I just... know I could have done better.
Anyway, it's done now.

This is my tribute for the first anniversary of TMNT french release... Yes, I know, I'm almost one month late. I'm totally ashamed *burries her face in her hands* I was the one who had the idea, and I am the one who was so late. Bleh.

(oh, just like I'm writing on it, the song is playing... *blinks*) Yes, the lyrics are from a song I discovered some weeks ago... A Disney song I didn't know. Can you believe it again? I can't. But it was for the end credits of "Dinosaur" and this is actually the only Disney I don't like at all.
Anyway... The song, the lyrics, the atmosphere of the song reminded me a lot about Leo, his trip, the broken family, the fact that you don't know who you are anymore... All the things which touched me when I saw the movie for the first time.

Of course I was glad to see my childhood heroes again on the big screen, and I must admit that first, I went to see the movie only for that. But finally... Finally I found so much more. They were about my age, one brother missing, the family broken, each of them like a part of my personnality, the feeling of imcomplete, emptiness, loneliness, missing, confusing, the fact that you don't know who you are anymore and where you belonged exactly, and the world is not the same anymore...
It was a storm and stunned me. After that, I started slowly to write and draw about them, and finally, month by month, it helped me a lot to understand myself, like I never could expected. It was weird but... I won so much. Reminded me not to forget about my fight for my own brother. I brought him back, my missing brother, I managed to fix the family better than it was the last year. It gave me courage and made me realise about what I was and my own place and role. So it's not "just a movie". "Just a fandom". It's now a part of me. For all that, I want to thank the Mirage Studios.
Plus, I improved a lot in english since I've met others TMNT fans, and made news friends, and improved a lot in art too, so it's all good !! X3 *hugs everyone*
