-smiles shyly- This is actually my first drawing involving a Ninja Turtle. And ever since the CG movie came out, it made me love TMNT all over again. So here it is - my interpretation of a reunion of myself with my fav Ninja Turtle!

I originally posted this on Deviantart with much hesitation because I wasn't sure on how people would react to me drawing something like this. (Originally I drew human characters like who knows what. I guess I got kinda bored with it after a while.)

But it turns out, that it's actually practically my favorite piece of art. Mainly because it reflects me in some ways. Well, besides the fact that my character is involved, but also the fact that Leonardo has been a big part of my life. He pretty much made me who I am today.

As corny as this may sound, but Leonardo is my role model - more so than my parents. He pretty much made me into a leader type, accept responsibilities, and to do things with honor. The only downside is...well I'm a perfectionist like him ^_^; (I still loves ya though Leo!)

Anyways, this is my first piece in drawing anything TMNT. I hope you all like it. -bows.-
