Years ago I posted a thread similar to this showing my artwork back when my site was still hosted on members.aol.com, and even after a good friend here in the fandom provided me with a new domain to put my site on, I was hesitant to show any of it. However since more people have recently started showing their work, I decided it was finally time to post some of my work.

This is a picture I painted of Michaelangelo back in Middle School. I remember getting the skateboard idea from an image in a booklet that came with the NES Game Manhattan Project!

Originally part of an illustration for a fanfic crossing over with The Simpsons, this picture of Mondo Gecko was drawn and colored in pencil and later traced in pen.

This was a cute idea I had for a doodle where I mixed the original cartoon style with the CGI film (note the blue eyes) and a very skinny neck to make a bobble-headed Michaelangelo!

I made this drawing of Leonardo during my stay at a clinic in 2008. It was a rough time for me, but my fondness of the Ninja Turtles kept my spirits up.

In early March of 2011 I decided to draw Donatello in an unusually sour mood to mirror some of the frustration I was having at the time. Halfway through the drawing I realized I had made Don's cheeks way too large, so I decided to shrink them down almost to the point his face looks more oval shaped, similar to the way the Turtles looked in a couple of issues of the Mirage comics that were done by Rick McCollum & Bill Anderson. The pens I used to ink my outline didn't work to well so I had to retrace certain areas, resulting in a couple of squiggly lines.

This happens to be my second attempt at my first time drawing Casey Jones. In the original picture I had him without the traditional hockey mask, but I decided to color his face green to look like he had painted it in honor of his four mutant bros. A few minutes later, I started regretting the choice I made so I tore up that picture and drew this version of Casey with his mask over his face!

I made this picture of Miyamoto Usagi during Hurricane Irene in August 2011. Thankfully the electricity at my parents' house didn't go out as I was watching some Ninja Turtle cartoons on DVD while drawing the lovable samurai rabbit!

This picture is for my good friend Jayne and her teammates in the Philly Roller Girls, a roller derby league based in Philadelphia! Jayne is known as Sue E. Side Hotline and she plays for the league's home team, the Broad Street Butchers, hence the red shirt Mikey is wearing!

While spending time with my niece and nephew, I got the idea for this cute kitty themed collage of our favorite party dude as depicted in each animated series.

http://www.thegreenlanterncorps.com/jephael/television.jpg

This was a pretty simple idea. I found a screen grab from the arcade game version of Turtles In Time and replaced Shredder on the TV screen with the image of porn star April O' Neil cosplaying as the Ninja Turtles' friend of the same name.


That's all I'll show on here. If you'd like to see more of my work, just check out my site. Thanks for viewing!

Love those doodlings, reminds me a little of all the TMNT sketches they would show on CBBC before the show aired.

I watch this

on your fansite, and I love it.

It's 2013, and seing ordinary drawings with a pencil is like turning the clock 20 years backwards in time. Fantastic nostalgia.
