Description
This is a commission work commissioned byFor those of you who may be too young to remember who this is, this is Irma Langinstein, from the late 80's/early 90's cartoon show Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. If you're old enough to remember, Irma is April O'Neil's best friend, and works at the Channel Six News station as the secretary to Burne Thompson (her and April's boss).
Originally wanted her in her traditional long dress, but I suggested it might be cuter if she wore more casual, girly clothing, and he agreed. I felt it would balance and compliment her otherwise geeky quality rather well. I suggested the shorts and he suggested the pink and white striped tank top. He was also specific on this pose, which remained the same from the beginning.
The concept of this picture is that Irma is posing for a photo that April is taking, which sort of explains Irma's pose, blushing, and the looking away from the camera.

Yeah. It still amazes me how even though this picture is 10 years old and the only fanart for this character I did, it still gets faves and comments.

Yeah, how could i forget irma from back then? she was so funny and silly at times like being so clumbsy in that one episode "The turtle terminator" LOL!

I used to think I was a hardcore Turtles fan because I grew up with it back in the 80s, but to be honest, I can't remember an episode name or that particular scene. Kudos to you for being able to!
I'm impressed that this old, old picture still gets hits, view, faves, and comments regularly. It's been going strong for years, despite how obscure this character is, in what is a dated series. Perhaps I really will do a new, updated Irma picture as a thank you to everyone who made this deviation a success.

if you just search that episode on youtube you'll see it and you'll see what i mean her being so clumbsy. Futhermore i guess this pic is still getting viewed cause tmnt classics really never go out of style like that irma picture.

Thank you. 
This picture is so old, but I'm glad that it still gets hits and faves. Maybe I will do a follow-up picture sometime to celebrate the success of this picture.

I had the biggest crush on Irma back in the day. Β But then, I always did like the wrong girls...

Whose to say thats wrong? Even with fictional characters, women are presented as either stereotypical or more down to earth and realistic; in that way, I think characters like Irma are quite realistic, but less desirable by most mainstream standards; it's sad really.

Thank you. To be honest, I didn't think much of Irma when I was a kid...but then again, I was a kid and the Ninja Turtles had all the action so it's understandable.

This is awesome nice to see Irma in street clothes.

Thank you. This is an old one from years ago, but I'm glad you like it. Irma never did get much attention. Same shorts, huh?

1) Yeah, Irma was my second fav. character in TMNT 1987, my first was Shredder because he's so funny and stupid XD my third was DOnnie.
2) Yep, same shorts

Nice, the coloring is really interesting hyper real. I liked her character even though it was random, like the human crossover of Jeanette Miller. Well done though

Thank you. I prefer a painting style rather than straight CG; there's more options with it.

Heh, of course I remember her (I had forgotten her surname, though). I always thought she was kind of cute, if only she had taken off those thick glasses every now and then, as well as try and wear some... more attractive clothes, maybe she would have found a boyfriend long ago

Yeah, that's usually how it is with the minor characters.

Very nice, i love her pose and the line work and colors are great!

Thank you. Do you know the character at all, or is it just the picture you like?

i don't know the character. I just love the picture

I remember her. She never made the leap to the twenty-first century series

Unfortunately not. Although, I never kept up with the newer stuff. As soon as the 80s one was over, I stopped watching.

IRMAAAA! Very cute!
I have always had an Irma fetish too, like the commissioner. xD So it's so very nice to see a picture of her being drawn in this day and age.
I may have to make one too, some time...
You did an especially nice job of coloring her denim, by the way, looks very much like the real thing. =3

Glad you like it. Thanks for the fave also.
Yeah, I've never drawn Irma before and never thought I would, but here we are. I grew up watching the show, and was a kid, so I never would have thought of portraying Irma this way. She sort of just faded into the background and I didn't much care about her. But, she must mean alot to some people if someone would actually pay me to draw her.
Definitely, draw her yourself, especially if you like her that much. It's just like me with Prier. I cannot stop drawing her. I'm willing to wager I'm the only person on DA whose got the commitment to the character that I do, and I'd even go so far as to state that I'm probably the only person in the world, right now, that is making a La Pucelle doujinshi (that isn't a one-shot hentai).
Anyways, thanks for the compliment.

I like the pink and white striped shirt that Irma's wearing. The posing and the background came out very good too.
