Description
Okay, for anyone that's familiar with Tigerfog's MNT Gaiden webcomic, this was made with that in mind. I had hoped he would check out his note I sent him on deviantart and check it out but he obviously didn't nor was I able to email it to him as he has no email address on his site and the one I had on file failed. Oh well, no point in letting it go to waste so here it is for all of you to enjoy.Related content

Yeah, I tried e-mailing it to you but it didn't go through. I then sent a note to you on deviantart. I'm glad you finally got to see and I'm glad you like it. I love your web comic. Keep 'em coming.

Thanks.
The level of detail on the skin and the coloring's really cool.
It's really really smooth.
What was the resolution of the source image?
π: 0 β©: 1
Everything I do is 300 resolution however, I drop it down quite a bit on deviant art. I'm not sure what the resolution was when I sent you a note but if you want, I can send a high resolution version just in case. Just send me a note.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to ask for a higher resolution of your image.
The one on DA is the perfect size - I'd resize any of my artworks like that anyways.
What I meant to ask is what the resolution in pixels is when you worked on your artwork.
For instance, each of my MNTG pages are originally about 6000 x 9000 px.
I resize them to 600x900 when I upload them though.
What's your original image's resolution?
π: 0 β©: 1
LOL! oh, okay. You could still have it if you want though.
The source image was 2550 W x 3900 H

That's really nice of you, but you really should keep your PSD
IMO, PSD files are the artist's little secret, with every little detail and methodology revealed in it.

Fair enough but if you change your mind, let me know.

I'm in love with his comic, and I'm sure he'll see it. He's just too busy to check out all the fanart of his fanart-comic ^^
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, It's one of the best TMNT fan mangas out there. I really wish he'd put these in book form so I could collect them. I have a huge TMNT comic collection and it would be nice to add these.
I don't know. He probably is busy but yet he has time to respond to comments on deviantart. Maybe he'll see it some day. If not, it was kind of a waste.

Sweet, you have the scares and everything.

You bet! I try to be as accurate as possible.

You are welcome.

Oh my God! Β That is just incredible! Β I absolutely love this!Β

Thanks! I appreciate it. I like the warm color pallet it has.

It truly is an amazing piece.

It took tiger fog a long time to message me about my tribute piece, but he does eventually get around to it.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
That would make sense. I thought that might be part of the reason.

You're amazing for thinking it's amazing.

I love that version of TMNT! I'm a huge fan of,even though I got my TMNT comic book series in the works as of now. The first issue will be titled,"The Shredder". My TMNT comic book series is under TMNT Comics (C) which I founded this year.

I have much respect for what he does. Anyone that can keep up with a webcomic as long as he has deserves respect.
I'll check out your cover.

I might of changed my Featured from profile deviation to my Raphael front comic cover,so you'll find "The Shredder" in my Featured gallery.

Holy Shit! Awesome piece!!! Great colors

Thanks man. I appreciate it.

Awesome! I'm pretty sure he'll see it eventually. I'm assuming Tigerfog is very busy. But it looks awesome! like the bloody sai. Helps me to think who was on the receiving end of that.
π: 0 β©: 1
He put up a new page on deviantart so I don't know why he didn't catch the note. Oh well, no biggie.
Yeah, I actually had blood on him at one point but then I decided against it.
π: 0 β©: 1
Go bloody or go home or so I'm told. Lol. Nah, it looks great! Just makes him more badass that he's not even scathed, his enemy on the other hand, let the sai speak for them.
π: 0 β©: 1
Sure, blood just helps to hit it home that despite the cuteness of the TMNT themselves, they mean business and will hurt you if they have to.
Them not even using their weapons in movies and such is laughable though. The movie "Ninja Assassin" would've been great for a Yoshi, Saki story but we'll never get anything that good or that bloody for a TMNT movie as long as Viacom owns it.
Yep, Raph is skilled at what he does but him not having blood on him is kind of unrealistic. Actually my version of Raph, the version I have going on in my head anyway usually has some kind of cuts and bruises on his face not because he sucks at fighting but to show the enemy gets a few hits in and that Raph is always into something. Of course April is upset and somewhat annoyed whenever she sees him like that because she knows he's dancing with the devil but he just shrugs it off like it's nothing.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yup, and eeyuup. Viacom will never do anything like that, though I love the implied angst and heartache as undertones, these are true TMNT fans in control of them right now, they just have higher ups in control of them too. I will dread it and contemplate killing myself if they do anything like this though: www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4dALQβ¦Β even though it did make a funny point of how we are all monsters wantingΒ drama that doesn't have to be there and sometimes doesn't make any sense.
Cuz he's a total BAMF!! And your mind is awesome too. I always imagine him running off some steam and getting himself into more trouble than he can handle and doing it so much so often it's like he's living a double life without his brothers because he constantly believes that no one understands him!! Β Β

For sure they're true TMNT fans but not entirely professional in their approach. Donnie's the star of the show followed by Leo and April. If you're a professional writer and executive producer, you'll give them all plenty of moments to shine equally. Those are obviously their favorites and being a Raph fan, that bugs me to no end. I also don't buy this crap that there's not much to do with Raph's character. That's BS. If you're a well versed writer and knowledgeable about the character, that shouldn't be a problem. Now I know the dark Raph arc is coming up but why is he only worthy of any screen time and development when he's a villain? Like they can't do that when he's not under mind control. Kind of ridiculous really.Β Okay, my rant is over.
Damn straight he is. LOL! That's funny you mention him running off and biting off more than he can chew. My version has Raph and Leo at odds to the point where Raph won't talk to Leo and is gone a lot and he won't tell Leo where he goes and this drives him batshit. Leo is of the mind that Raph should now always have someone accompany him because of his tendency to shoot his mouth off and bite off more than he can chew. Well, Raph don't play that game and he sneaks out and does what he wants because he's a free spirit. Leo obviously doesn't want him to get hurt so that's why he feels this rule should be in place. Yeah, I have so much more where that came from.
Man, if I were blessed with the money and crew to make a top notch fan film, I would in a heartbeat. Oh well, life's a bitch.

yes! Β and me being a fangirl over Slash!! and Raph/Slash slash. Β Β lol! When Slash came back as leader of the Mutanimals there should have been more Raph interaction, instead all of the focus on Leo's trust issues! Β And Raph is totally a good guy! Just misunderstood in hisΒ actions because he believes full heartedly that violence can be used as a lesson. And poor Mikey gets put down all the freaking time except in Dimension X! He could totally beat all of them if he'd just focus, but he doesn't because he wants all of his brothers to shine instead. He himself knows he'd change under the pressure and wouldn't be the heart of the group like they need him to be.
I'm with you completely. Inside Leo hates being the leader and having to always curb all of his brothers tendencies, but he takes the responsibility so the others don't have to, so the rest of them can be themselves without the extra worries. Leo's trying his hardest, and he's damn good at it. Everything Leo does is for his brothers.Β AndΒ of course setting rules specifically against Raphael is going to rubΒ him the wrong way. Raph's rebellious spirit is just screaming at him to test Leo along with yet another reason he's set apart from his brothers. he's misunderstood, no one gets him, sees the real him, and it hurts him so much. He tries to lash out to show them, but again it's taken wrong because he doesn't know how to express himself. He can't, for fear of being weak. He has to be the strong one, the shield to protect his brothers. Leo knows these tendencies and so he makes the rules to protect him, but Raph doesn't see it that way. Of course he doesn't, he sees it as Leo doesn't trust him. If he already doesn't then Raph is going to give them a reason and that's how he becomes the bad guy so easily. I've done the same. Constantly being accused of something I didn't, so I went out and did it! Like someoneΒ is in jail for forty years for a crime they didn't do and when they get out what's the first thing that person is going to do? The crime he's already done time for!!
I love talking like this so you can go on all you want!!
