Quite a while back, I did a series of 3 drawings of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles paired with other ally characters from the series. It started with Raphael and Casey Jones, then Michaelangelo and April O'Neil and finally Donatello and the Fugitoid. I spent the entire weekend working on those 3 drawings but didn't have any time to do the final drawing of Leonardo paired with an ally. Even though I really wanted to finish off the set, I just simply couldn't find the time and eventually forgot. Well, I finally remembered this weekend so I dug out the original thumbnails I drew up for this and went to town on it. I had always planned for Splinter to be paired with Leo and really enjoyed drawing him. As with all these drawings, I mixed a little of both the cartoon and original Mirage studios versions.
