Description
ah... my guilty little pleasure... TMNT.
I used to love Archie’s version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, especially the stories right near the end. Chris Allen was my all time favorite artist to work on Archie’s TMNT, and I can’t believe I never kept up with his other work or the three part story that appeared in Furrlough about Ninjara.
And yes, Raphael has nostrils. I can't stand that no one ever draws the turtles with nostrils! Not even their creators! ARGH!
Raphael is the © of Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird
Ninjara is © of Dean Clarrain and Chris Allen (and Archie Comics)

My two favorites. Amazing work. I always enjoyed the relationship dynamic between them. I just wish whenever they do a reboot on the series they would bring back characters like this instead of pulling throwaway characters out that no-one bothers to understand or relate to. Great job.

I've noticed a lack of nostrils on many turtles in the past, which seems a little odd to me. When I sculpt the heads for my customs, I usually try to maintain their presence, though it doesn't always show in photos.
Also, love the Ninjara here. looks great.

Awesome. I've always liked Ninjara, myself, especially on rediscovering old childhood nostalgia on her.
Very well-drawn pic.

I'm going to do the others, with at least one other nod to Archie's comics. It's just a little low on the priorities at the moment.

Ohhhhhhhh they are gorgeous!! It's rare I find fan art of them. You've done a superb job. You captured them so well and killer inks!
Chris is also my favorite artist to work on TMNT, he was a bit of an influence on my own work too. It's nice to find someone else who shares the same sentiment!

I found his website (after playing cyber stalker and freaking myself out a bit): [link] He hasn't uploaded anything new since March, but it's nice to know he's got a site.
