Description
..not a very imaginative title but I'm no good at titles.This took me AGES!! Every evening for a week I spent colouring this... and I 'm still not happy with the sky.. but I've never really coloured a sky or clouds before so it's a learning process.
They've got their original red mask/bandana thingys because I haven't coloured them with red masks for a couple of years now.
The line art in in my scraps gallery and this was coloured in my Karisma pencils...

Wow, another great pic by Loolaa!
I really like the atmosphere on this one. I feel like the turtles really are ninjas that are one with the night.
Mind if I add a little critic on your pic?
It's just the left arm of the turtle on the lower left... I think the muscles are a little misplaced, but it's just a detail, isn't it?
And as they say, 'Easier said than done'. But I just KNOW you have what it takes to do it!

You know, I've been looking at this for the past two days and 37 minutes and can't think of anything more productive to say other than:
"HOW COOL!! ^_____^"
Okay, maybe I can XD Their skin and the highlights came out sooo nice, Gives os much more depth and not to mention that heavenly monlit shine ^_^ and can't miss that shading
I like how you drew in the clouds in here, it really ties in together with the rest of the image and gives it a nice comic book cover feel to it. It really, does. I can totally see this as a cover for a comic
Hmm, i get the feeling it's Mikey and Don atop and maybe Leo looking down below, but i'm not to sure since he's 'strap'less
But he looks to calm and serious to be Raph XD
Out of curiosity, would you be interested in doing a collab sometime? just curious ^^ But yeah, looks great Loolaa Whoo!

Thankyou very much!
There's some bits I'm not happy with but overall I'm quite proud of it.. though I am starting to have second thoughts about those clouds..
Ooooh yeah! And I'd love to do a collab!! Got anything in mind?

I think it's great. I love your coloring, particularly the different texture you gave to the bricks. And the moon is bright and glowing.

Thanks! There are still some bits I'm not happy with, I wanted to do blue highlights from the moon... and the clouds differently, but I didn't plan out what I was going to do properly. Still, you live and learn. I'm quite happy with it.

Wow! The detail in putting each stone in perfectly is amazing! And the turtles look awesome! (AAAH! I can't tell who each of them are! I'mma gonna guess Raphael is one of them tho! XD )
I love the coloring And the top one is my fav, he looks.. just awesome!

loolaa In reply to RachelGreenleaf [2004-08-22 09:03:55 +0000 UTC]
When I started drawing them I wasn't going to make an issue of which turtle was which I thought I'd just leave it for people to decide who they wanted to be in it.. but then when I was colouring it, the one at the back became Mikey, the one in front became Leo and the one hanging onto the roof became Don. In my imagination Raph isn't even there!!
But you can make him anyone of the three you want!!

Are those supposed to be three Raphs? I'm a uber Raph fan but even that would scare me XD

loolaa In reply to HybridFable [2004-08-22 09:00:28 +0000 UTC]
Nah, not three Raphs.. in the original Mirage comics all the turtles have red bandanas [link]
Three Raph.. definatly scary!! I wonder if they'd get on.. or just fight amongstthemselves!!!

actually, i think your sky is very nice. I usually make sky with watercolors, but it keeps coming out dark and so I put white and water on it.... and the paper gets all crinkly. > ___>

I haven't used watercolour in years.. I should though as I've got a big watercolour pad just sitting doing nothing.. I might have a go when I have time off work or something.

Yeah! Every now and then I colour them in their original bandanas.. I think they look cooler like that, anyway.
