Tmnt Venus - Tumblr Posts
Hatsune de Milo / Venus de Miku!! (I couldn’t pick which name to go with)
Hello Rise fandom - I present my version of Venus!! For the past few weeks I've been absolutely obsessed with the lost sisters, so I finally decided to make my own versions of them. Decided to start with Big Mama's Assistant and I'll get around to the other lost sister in a few weeks 🐢 👀
I based Venus largely off her NM and IDW looks with a bit of Jennika thrown in for fun. Tried to stick as close to her canon look as Big Mama's Assistant as possible while giving my own spin to her. This is how imagine her to look once reunited with her family! Feel free to click see more if you'd like just a lil more info on her, or check out my fic where I'm writing my own missing sisters arc we were robbed of where Venus and the other sister will appear 🐢💕💕
So here's a lil more info on Venus...
Venus is ofc the sister raised by Big Mama who became her Assistant. The night of the mutation, Venus got caught up in an explosion in Draxum's lab which led to her getting injured. When Big Mama finds her, she gets the little turtle help but Venus nonetheless becomes a double amputee. And Big Mama is still a little sentimental about Lou - she thinks about how much he loved art because of his mother, and sees the turtle as her own little treasure and so names her after the Venus de Milo. There's much more to her backstory than that but - spoilers! You'll have to check out my fic for more (and I've already spoiled more here than I've revealed on AO3 oops lol). But here's a few more facts about her!
I've decided that the Disaster Twins are actually a trio - surprise! Leo, Donnie, and Venus are the Disaster Triplets because I just find it adorable and she just gives me such middle child energy tbh.
Venus' ninpo is very much tied to her amputation and weapons. She can manifest constructs of her arms, similar to Raph being able to copy himself. But she can also teleport those constructs around and use copies of her kaiken as well, kinda like Leo and his swords. As you can see on her character sheet, her ninpo manifests as flower petals! This is because I really wanted her to take after her grandmother aka Splinter's mom, Atsuko - thus the petals, and also where I got the shape of her eyes.
Also her favorite parent is absolutely Draxum and yes it drives Splinter up a wall, in particular because of how much Venus reminds him of his mother.
I've got so many more notes than just this but I really wanted to share my girl - give her some love if you want and feel free to check out my fic as well! I'll be updating more regularly in June when I have time to actively write. Might get to the other sister's character sheet first, but who knows! 💕💕
Been think about starting a tmnt au based off the 2012 Mutant Apocalypse, and have the story told kinda like the last ronin where there's flashback sequences and whatnot
It would follow venus through the wasteland that was new York city as she and a few companions try to survive. I just think it would be a neat concept (thinking of calling it "My Name is Venus de Milo", may change it who knows)
This is the only thing I've done for it now but figured I'd wanna share anyways incase I ever actually decide I should do it
Here's some doodles relating to my au and 2012 tmnt
I'm still learning how turtles work, but I think im making good progress! I plan to post some character sheets for "my name is venus" in a bit, but take these for now!
Also if anyone has some doodle suggestions or tips or anything please let me know, I'd love to improve more!
Can't believe it took this long to get to venus, you'd think with her being the main character I'd get it done first huh?
Venus de Milo Hamato:
Having found Chompy and Metal-Head at the beginning of the apocalypse, Venus has since become the unofficial leader of her group of mis-fits. She's far more.. realistic in her approach on life than her companions, but it doesn't stop her from listening to their opinions and trying their ideas.
Venus has taken it upon herself to find a new retro-mutagen, hoping to prevent her life (and the world) from falling further into chaos.
Venus!!!! for the Tumblr.
New Venus fanart!
Thank u @zai5an for the background idea!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA OMG HER
VENUSS‼️‼️‼️ ALERT I LOVE HER SHES SOO——
My rendition of Venus de Milo. Since Venus have a blue/teal mask like Leo, I wanted a turtle with unique markings, like Leo. So I found the pink-bellied side neck turtle. It has a pinkish plastron and yellow markings around the eyes.
These aren't OCs, per say, but they're my versions of Jennika and Venus. Jennika is a black-knobbed map turtle, and Venus is a pink-bellied side neck turtle. Here's the outfits they would wear during the show. Let me know if you want me to do a part 2 of this.
These are the outfits they wore when they first appeared in the franchise. Jennika wore her iconic black and grey outfit in TMNT #51, where she was a member of the Foot Clan. In my version, she was Big Mama's assistant. Venus wore her brown cloak at the end of the 1st episode of TMNT: The Next Mutation.
I gave Jennika a nightgown, and yes, she keeps her dagger on her even when she sleeps. Venus was raised in China in The Next Mutation, so she wears traditional Chinese clothing, like this set of sleepwear. Like Raph with his retainer, Jennika wears a mouth guard to bed. Venus puts a face mask on her face before bed to keep her skin moist.
I had practice making Masquerade masks in the past year or so, so this was fun.
Like Raph with his iconic white and pink outfit, Jennika wears a nice outfit fit for a tomboy like her: jeans, white shirt, yellow half-snow jacket, beanie, and boots. Venus is slightly more girly than her sister, so she wears a teal and pink tank top, a green and mint skirt, and high heeled sandals.
In "Hypno! part Deux", Raph and Leo wear a football uniform and basketball uniform to blend in, but I think Jennika and Venus have a more subtle approach with cargo pants, sneakers, and a fashionable top for Jennika, and a somewhat normal schoolgirl attire for Venus.
In "Air Turtle", Jennika wears a yellow snapchat shirt with overalls and a black beanie and Venus wears a soccer outfit, because Venus likes soccer.
When they decide to join the game to defeat the demons of the Arch of Aquinnah (I had to look up how that's spelled), Jennika is down for basketball, while Venus is more geared towards being the cheerleader. Venus is a mystic warrior and focuses more on meditation than fighting.
These are the outfits I picked for them for "Snow Day". I had to remove their shells for this one, because in that episode, you can't see Raph's shell, so the animators probably removed it to make it seem like his clothes fit. Jennika would be on Raph, Leo and Mikey's team when it comes to which Jupiter Jim movie is the best, whilst Venus is on Donnie, April and Mayhem's side.
More Jennika and Venus Outfits!
Venus would probably join Raph and Leo in defeating Ghost bear while Jennika is her hype-woman. Venus wears the tutu to give the impression that she's delicate, only to kick some serious Ghost butt. Venus calls herself "Sugarplum" and Jennika calls herself "Yellow Jacket".
Jennika is a Avril Lavigne fan and that kind of music adds to the chaos to the band. Venus likes K-Pop.
Self Explanitory. It's their quarantine suits.
These were really fun to make. I took so many pictures of the boys' suits to get an idea how to how they look.
Did anyone notice that the siblings with secondary colors dressed fancy in that episode and the primary colors didn't? So, I decided to put Venus in a nice dress to look like she's wealthy.
In the comics, Jennika was a human before she was mutated into a turtle and she was blonde with blue eyes, and I decided to make her hair short. Venus has Hamato Yoshi's DNA, so I made her Japanese.
I'm not sure what villains Jenny and Vee are tagged-teamed with to defeat Big Mama's champions. Any ideas?

Artist note:
When I first heard that the Rise boy’s have two long lost sisters. My first thought was they were Venus and Jennika. I had thought about how they’ll be introduced in my version until a Q&A interview with the creator on Twitter. One of their sisters work for Big Mama and he suggested her name was going to be Frida or something like. He wanted to name them after female artist. And the other sister was going to be lost in other dimension. Because of this I rethought the boy’s sisters. Another reason to the change of sisters, which is lame and you might hate me for, I later didn’t know or really care for Venus and Jennika. Instead I replace them with an original character, Frida, and brought back their human sister, Miwa, who is also their half-sister.
Originally, Miwa was plan to be mutated as a turtle, obviously I scrapped it. She isn’t a long lost sister, she a bonus or a surprise sister. Splinter didn’t knew he has a daughter with his ex-wife, Tang Shen, until she randomly showed up in the lair saying she’s his daughter.
Originally, Venus de Magic, the statue that the boys saw in the Magic Town House. Was supposed to be Venus de Milo. She was going to have illusion nippo that allowed her to disguise and live among the human. But that was scrapped, however the illusion nippo was kept for Frida along wither her tessen. Frida is the assistant that works for Big Mama, well in my version she’s actually Big Mama’s adoptive daughter, Olivier, assistant.
