Description Quick sketch and spray color of an alternate dimension Mutant April O'Neil from one of the corrupted timelines in IDW's "Bebop and Rocksteady Destroy Everything" mini-series.  All things considered, things seem to have worked out alright for April after getting splashed with mutagen ooze during a ruckus in the Stockgen lab.  She and the Fugitoid fell into a time portal and emerged in the 1960s with amazing new powers and a sensational new superheroine look.  Adopting the name of "Nightbug," she became a capable crimefighter in the past.  Will she and the Silver Fugitoid be seen again or will their adventures remain the stuff of imagination?

Wish I knew what the end of the tail/stinger looked like.  I just took a guess there...
EDIT: The TPB reveals a full body sketch with tail.  I didn't quite get it right, so maybe I'll revisit this concept more properly in the future.

Based on the design by and special thanks to

Awesome TMNT art! You've done some really cool & creative stuff. I can tell you're a real Turtle fan!
I've got some more Ninja Turtle stuff in the works right now. These characters are too much fun to draw.

I look forward to whatever you make next

Keep the good stuff coming!  I would appreciate any more feedback you could give me on my own style... or ideas for future pieces!

Thanks for the comments.
Not sure I'm in position to give pointers. I can say I always enjoy seeing more obscure characters. I'd like to get around to drawing all the Mighty Mutanimals, but it won't be anytime soon.
Keep up the good work & creative ideas!

Let me recommend the gang of 4 that ultimately killed the team in the Archie comics: Waster, Fist, Dead-Eye, and Lynch.  Talk about obscurity!

I have drawn the Gang of Four in my sketchbook before!
If they only knew how much it bothered me as a child when they killed off the Mutanimals! That was BRUTAL. I think there could have been a better way to end things. I'll always hold a grudge against those cybernetic murderers. lol (I remember Jim Lawson drawing some of those books. How awesome was that?)
