[Fan Art] I Need Help with my Project

QUESTION:

Mirage and IDW have multiple artists, with drastically different styles... are you doing only one from each?

For Mirage, you have Kevin Eastman / Peter Laird working together (the earliest issues), Jim Lawson, and probably more.

For IDW, you have Dan Duncan, Ben Bates, Sophie Campbell, Cory Smith, Mateus S, etc...

I'm not sure yet if I'll count different artists' styles as separate versions. Probably not, because all those comic artists work in the same single comic book. While researching, there different styles have been a bit confusing because I need to pick a definitive one to represent the entire version.
However, I could draw some artist styles if they are very distinctive, appear often, and have had a significant effect on TMNT as a whole. Otherwise, including every artist's style will just be too much and too confusing. The styles themselves don't tell a story separate from the comic book as a whole.

Some practice art I did:
Leonardo from the Out of the Shadows video game (which I absolutely love)

Thoughts? Does it look close to the video game?

Edit: Does anyone have any info on the 1987 comic line "Turtle Soup"? I could use some more info on it. I came across it while doing some quick research in the backwaters of TMNT fan sites (look, I was bored!)

Nice. Looks good!

Thanks!

So, I'm wondering if I should include the Wii game "Smash-Up" even if its designs are so similar to the 2007 movie.
Does anyone have info or pictures on the really obscure comic on the list - "The Last of the Viking Heroes"? I'm not even sure what it is.
EDIT: Some Googling did get me some more information, but I'm still wondering what the comic itself looks like in the inside. There aren't a lot of pictures I can find of pages.
But what I could really use some help with are the TMNT manga and anime. Are the two manga I have listed around the mid-1990s really seperate or are they the same one? And should I count the two anime episodes as separate, seeing as the turtles do wear slightly different armor and clothes in each one?

[OrangeNinja1987]

Sorry to post yet again, but I'm still looking for help on this. This thread has kind of been ignored the past few days and I really do still need some help.

[OrangeNinja1987]

Here is a new practice sketch I did. This time it is of Donatello from the 2003 show.

I think I've decided to include all of the turtles in my project, rather than just Leo.

I liked the designs on the special, but this piece should have been done with copic markers. Those would help imitate a lot of the versions' styles.
Anyway, the sketch is very messy because it was just a quick one.
P.S. Just to let anyone know, I still really need help with this project and this thread has gotten very quiet.

Hesse are all really great! Keep it up!

OrangeNinja, you should consult DrSpengler's blog (it should be the 'Drome's official Bible).

Thank you both so much. I'll be sure to add the Hero Turtles comics.
Thanks for the resources on the Viking Heroes comic and I never knew of a comic with the 2009 Smash-Up game! That's a definite addition. Do you happen to know when the Super Turtles manga came out in Japan? I can only find the date of its English translation in 2011.

Mirage Raphael. This one was really fun to do. If anyone has any more ideas, answers, or other help for this project, let me know. Perhaps I'll even draw some versions of the turtles you request.

[OrangeNinja1987]

Does anyone know the versions I missed that appear in these shots in Turtles Forever? The movie includes them as part of the Multi-verse so they definitely should be in the project.

I recognize the Souls' Winter Turtles and the Super Turtles (Graviturtle, Shellectro, Blobboid and Griddex) from Mirage Volume 4. Do you have those yet?

[OrangeNinja1987]

Yeah, I have those already. Thanks, though.

I hate to keep saying this, but I still really need help before I can start this project. I don't know and can't know every version of TMNT myself, but with help I can get this to be as good as it can be.
Please, if you can recognize any TMNT versions shown in the links, let me know. If you can answer any of my questions in previous posts, let me know. And if you can't, please spread word to those who can.

[OrangeNinja1987]

I'm really disappointed on how ignored this thread is, when I really still need help. Those who have posted on here have been tremendously helpful, but I still need more help. There are numerous things I'm still confused about and I know people on this forum could answer. I'm just wishing for some nice collaboration to help me improve this project. Don't be afraid to criticize, suggest, or critique. I'm literally just talking to myself on here for the past week.
Here's a list of some things I need help with:

• Figuring out versions to add or delete
• Suggesting versions to practice and critiquing art I post
• Clearing up dates, such as with the Japanese mangas like Gaiden and Corocoro, which I am confused about, as well as on other versions.
• Letting me know about prominent, professionally-handled fan works I could consider adding
• Pictures and info on versions listed in red on the second post

Anyway, here is a new TMNT drawing I did. It's not any sort of practice for this project, just a fun doodle. http://orangeninja1987.deviantart.co...lind-579549604

[OrangeNinja1987]

I have now added the 2 TMNT Magazines (1990 and 2013), if anyone cares.
