Description This is the follow-up piece to my "TMNT & April: Sewer Rescue."

This is my reinterpretation of a scene from the first-ever episode of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, "Turtle Tracks." Here the recently rescued April O'Neil momentarily leaves the turtles (who are busy enjoying some "Ninja Pizza") to call her boss at Channel Six News only to be abducted by some Foot Soldiers unbeknownst to the turtles!

This is the second in a series of pieces I'm doing for Benton Grey's TMNT Mod for the Freedom Force Vs. the Third Reich video game. He's pretty much reinterpreting the whole first season of the classic Ninja Turtles series and adding some new twists to boot! Assuming you already have FFvTR installed on your system (and you SHOULD if you're a fan of Silver Age Superheroes), Benton's Mod is a MUST download, even though it's still a Work-in-Progress and incomplete:

Alternate with Toon accurate turtle skin tones in Scraps:

EDIT: Due to all the comments I got about how it looked it Donatello was witnessing April's kidnapping with amusement, I have followed the suggestion to give the turtles some eye pupils. It's uploaded into Scraps:

EDIT x2: I've now uploaded a more fully revised version with a redrawn Donatello head:

Well, it was probably their first pizza that they didn't have to eat in a sewer. That's a pretty historic moment, so I can understand their obliviousness.

Thanks, man. The modified version was a bit of a rush job so I think it could be a little better, but I'm glad everybody seems to agree that it is at least an improvement.

Yeah, Turtles, enjoy the Ninja Pizzas without your disguises while April gets kidnapped. XD

Nice work

Thanks! I decided not to give them disguises because it might have conflicted with the game's art design, but the end product is kinda funny.

I guess in a Ninja Pizza joint, you don't ask questions about your customers!

Give Raphael and Donatello some pupils to draw their focus away from April. It's an awesome picture, but it looks like Donatello is watching April get nabbed with some amusement.
Love the retro Foot.

Good idea! I'm gonna keep this one as the original since it generated so many responses over the eye/line-of-vision issue, but I have put up an edited version in my Scraps Gallery:

April looks like she's in for a...um... bad time, to say the least. Dunno, just the way they're picking her up. And yeah, don should have been facing away from 'the camera' cause it does look like he's watching April and doesn't give a crap. LMAO Other than that, it's an awesome piece. All the characters look straight out of the show. And you even got the Ninja Pizza guy! "Eat in good health'.

I took the abduction pose from the vintage "How it all began" coloring book. I actually followed the layout on that page fairly closely and added in the pizza parlor background.

Thanks for the critique!

I wonder what evil is lurking in the sewers....

I haven't figured that out yet either. Perhaps Benton will reveal what evils lurk in the sewers in future game missions. My guess is that it might involve some rats.

COOL!!!!

Guys! April is getting kidnapped!!! and Don looks like he is looking out the window! Save her!! XD

But Nice work!

Heh, Don does kinda look like he's a witness to the whole thing. At this point in the show, the Turtles had never even seen Foot Soldiers before, so maybe he didn't put two-and-two together.

Make sure to check in again over the next week or so, since I have a follow-up piece almost ready.
