Here's a piece for a comic book cover. I omitted the title font due to people possibly stealing it. It never hurts to be safe.Hope you all enjoy.

Ewww, blood!

could be tears but if that's the case, it makes you wonder what he did that would cause the waterworks.

Very nice. It could be any of them. The originals all wore red. only until Archie comics got a hold of them did they get colors.

So, what are you up to these days? I got so much turtle stuff up the yin yang that I'm getting a little tired of it. I think it's time for a little break.
Anyway, thanks for the comment and you're correct. They all wore red bandanas but the thing that I always found to be strange is that they're ninjas and what ninja in his right mind would wear a color that stands out so much. Shouldn't they be wearing black instead? LOL!!
I don't know. I guess I really don't mind if they all wear red or the different colors. A ninja turtle is still a ninja turtle to me but I guess if you want to get back to their roots, red is the way to go.

true, true. I love being...well you know the rest. Anyway you shoud get into some of the little jams that my friends and I are doing for ourselves. It breaks the monotony. The last one was a MOTU. The next one has something to do with zombies. As far as projects I am working on a motorcycle book and right now I'm in the process of creating promo pinups to sell as prints. We'll see.

Sounds like a good idea to draw something else for a change. Speaking of MOTU, I hear the latest news is that they're still trying to get a new movie made which I really hope happens.
Your personal projects sound cool. Hope that works out for ya.

Had not heard about it, I hope they do it too. Well get in on the new jam, it looks like we'll be doing it fairly regularly. I sent a journal entry about it.

maybe when the next jam comes along I'll try it out. Pretty busy with drawing TMNT and writing TMNT scripts. Yeah, you'd think I would've had my fill but I guess some of this stuff needs to get done. Oh boy, now I think I'll go back and rewrite the script.

I wanna say Raph, he's kinda smiling and he's got someone blood on his face...what other turtle would be and looking kinda proud of it?

Ninja-Turtles In reply to Buslady [2007-03-19 23:03:48 +0000 UTC]
You do bring up a valid point. Raph might enjoy the sight of blood a little more than the others especially if it's someone elses.

Am I going to work for Mirage? Hmmm, Maybe. That's one of my goals.
Glad you like the picture and thanks for the kind words.

My initial impression was actually Leo... but no matter. Great work on this, dude. Love the painterly look, especially the texture of the scars. I'm planning on getting something done this week in honor of the opening of TMNT... time permitting...

Ninja-Turtles In reply to Kobb [2007-03-19 00:34:41 +0000 UTC]
I guess it could be Leo. Whatever works for the viewer.
Most of it was done in Painter but I kind of hated the program because it was a memory hog and ran kind of slow so I took it into Photoshop and finished it up.
If you're looking to do scars, it's pretty simple. All I do is create a seperate layer then draw a black streak on it. At this point you can change the opacity if you like to lessen the effect. Then, you want to place a lighter streak on the edge farthest away from the light source. Or, you can just duplicate the black layer and change the brightness contrast so that it's lighter and then move it to the right or left depending on your light source.
Sure, I'd like to see another TMNT piece from you.

Scary.... but pretty cool! What ever Raph did... I think it wasn't nice.... The skin looks realistic and I like the big eyes.

It doesn't really matter what Raph did just as long as he didn't do it to one of his brothers.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the comment.

Awesome! Which one of the turtles is this? My best bet says it's either Leo or Raph!

Ninja-Turtles In reply to RakaiThwei [2007-03-18 16:03:46 +0000 UTC]
For some reason it looks like Raph to me. I'll let be the judge of that. She's the Raph expert.
Thanks for the reply and I'm glad you liked it. It was kind of an experiment to see if I could color it in a way that would make it look more organic.
