Description This is a concept sketch for the fan-based TURTLES: DAWN OF THE NINJA graphic novel.

These look a bit on the cartoony side, but the final product will be very dark, gritty, and realistic.

They ran out of money to pay me but are looking for ways to fund future installments.

Awww... I hoped you were working pro bono. When will they use kickstarter?

The design for each turtle fits their personality just right. But Leo's legs can use some muscles...

Why is Leo so short?

RayDillon In reply to NuvaPrime [2012-08-29 19:58:06 +0000 UTC]

Because I wanted to make him shorter?

NuvaPrime In reply to RayDillon [2012-08-29 23:29:59 +0000 UTC]

Ok, but he's the leader, one wouldnt think he'd be shorter than all the others

So this version casts an 'Underdog leader' kind of impression, does that work?

what he lacks in size he makes up for in speed and stealth

What?? No, when I say 'Underdog', I mean like Froddo from LOTR or Percy Jackson and those guys, and its really sort of fit Leo's character in most past incarnations

I think Leo and Don are a bit too skinny. Other than that it's great.

Wow. Can’t wait until the finished product. You are finishing it aren’t you? Either way, very different outtake on the boys. Love it. Very different. Poor Leo though. And his’ the β€˜big’ brother. That’s sad.

Great work Ray, I love how it has a bit of a animation feel to it. Like rough animation before it goes to the ink and paint departmernt.
