Description Hey y'all!
This is more or less how these guys, and April, are going to look on the new mini-series I'm writing and will be drawing for IDW's TMNT.
Nickelodeon asked for subtle changes but no big deal so, the changes will show up on next studies or directly in the books.
Originally I wanted to make them even smaller compared to humans and with more contrastant heights between themselves (I may post these studies later). But you can't win them all, and I'm happy with the consensus we got to.

I've been trying new stuff for a while now (new for me - how I used to draw them), mixing elements I like of other people's turtles.

My main influences came from Ross and Dan Duncan , but I admit I really dug the new Nickelodeon's animated series so, a little bit comes from there too.

Also there's my own personal touch that goes back to a rough sketch I did years ago.

"The Secret History of The Foot Clan"
is set for late 2012 with story created by me
and co-script by me and Erik Burnham.

I'm really excited about this and every now and then I'll be posting new stuff here so you can check it out.
Here's an un-official piece for it:

Your art is by far the best and most defining look for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles I've ever had the pleasure of reading and experiencing. Thank you so much for your work.

if I can ask, what kind of changes did they ask for you to make?

Santolouco In reply to 1pez [2013-01-19 18:03:59 +0000 UTC]

Not much really. In the first version of this, the Turtles were even shorter compared to humans, they asked to make them a bit taller.
They also asked not to make Ralph so much bulkier than the rest, But I won this battle.

I just wanted to say, I've read through the entire IDW comic run and your art is absolutely brilliant and totally fitting for the Turtles! I can't wait for The Foot mini series in December. You've really helped these characters come alive again, and as someone who grew up with them, that's a really incredible feat. Keep up the amazing work.

the actual NICK show heights are

LEO-5'1"
RAPH-5'0
DONNIE-5'6"
MIKEY-4'10"

APRIL is roughly 5'1"

you can never tell how short april is because you never realize the turtles are actually small TEENAGERS still, she's sort of built like Ellen Paige, totally proportioned and tiny.

nice drawing.

Santolouco In reply to KAPPAPAPPA [2012-11-14 17:11:27 +0000 UTC]

I still prefer to think of Raph as the shorter.
I'm making April a bit taller to make the Turtles seems tinier.

Thank yoU!

cool stuff

the heights in the NICK show are
LEO- 5'1"
RAPH- 5'0
MIKEY- 4'10"
DONNIE-5'6"
APRIL-5'1ish, she's basically built like Ellen Page, you can't really tell because the turtles are small teens.

it's been 3 years getting this all to work.
