The quality of the prototypes is better but is not a hundred percent.

Yo! Saw those new scanned pages allright! Great to be able to READ them

It always amaze me to see the amount of work you put in this fan project. Great respect for you readers, and we appreciate.

Beautiful work, Tony. Love it!

**Jester** · 08-22-2005, 06:15 PM

Indeed....beautiful art, great story...can't wait for the next page.

Tony Day · 08-23-2005, 02:33 AM

Thanx for the support everyone...

I've just uploaded page 50

. I'm affraid things are going to heat up alot now for the poor old Turtles.

Wow! I totally love this comic of yours, Tony Day! It's amazingly well done in every way.

I see things are picking up! Looks like a fight ahead!

I came here on a whim, and behold! you had updated.

As usual the art is above-par. I love Shredder and Krang, so I was enjoying their interaction, especially since their partnership is deteriorating. Funny how Shredder announced the high-tension double-betrayal would have to wait once the turtles arrived.

However, I really think you need to improve your grammar--when to put apostrophes, commas, and the like. For instance, "you are" is "you're" not "your." When a character adresses another chracater, use a comma. For example:

If the name is the start of a sentence:

Shredder: Krang, shut up!

The middle:

Shredder: Shut up, Krang, now!

The end:

Shredder: Shut up, Krang!

Anyway, your comic is great, and I look forward to more, especially since the story hasn't technically "started" yet.

Kenton · 08-28-2005, 09:36 PM

I just read the whole thing and I am amazed! Awesome work!! You can draw very well. I really like this I hope you update soon!

April half naked

Awesome

Kingpin · 09-20-2005, 03:48 PM

Wow...

That's a fantastic fan-comic, you've really captured the feeling very well. Am I right that you're using the TMNT 80s cartoon as the main basis? If so, is April a Reporter for Channel 6 or a scientist (I thought I saw a lab coat in the prototype pages).

Of course, it's probably cartoon based... but it'd be interesting if you wanted to add your unique spin to a well known cartoon universe.

dejawolf · 09-23-2005, 08:38 AM

having grown up with the 80's cartoon, i'd say yes, its based on it.
and yes tony HAS put his own original spin on it.
this is a LOT darker than the 80s cartoon, which was mostly pranks and fun all the way. and thats mostly why i like turtle turncoat

Yeah, the darker bit was pretty clear as soon as I saw April say "****", always a shock from a cartoon character.

I'd intended to edit my post sooner as I saw her with video camera, oh well.

Anyway, Tony, superb work, the character art is amazing. A background question, have you been able to visit New York in real life? (Some details, such as the crosswalks look more like something from Tokyo).

Tony Day · 09-25-2005, 01:09 PM

Hi all.
Sorry I haven't updated my site for ages, my PC died again, so I’ve got a lot of drawn and inked pages lying around but not coloured in. Anyways, there should be more up soon if my PC holds out.

Yes Kingpin the cartoon is based on the old show and April is a reporter. I never liked the idea of her being a scientist to be honest.
I live in the UK around London and I haven't been to New York. If anything, all the backgrounds will probably look a little like things do over here in England plus little bits of what I think America looks like.
The road markings you’re talking about are called Zebra Crossings. Dunno if u get em over there? I’m guessing you’re from the US right?

Talk 2 u soon.
Tony

Your art is first rate. It's absolutely phenomenal and if you're not profiting off your skills, then something is wrong with the world. You could and should easily make a career of this. However, the writing leaves a bit to be desired. The characters seem a bit more volatile than they should, and the dialogue is a bit rough. Also, as someone already mentioned, your grammar needs a little work too.

Tony Day · 09-26-2005, 09:59 AM

Cheers Dane, Glad u like it. I am working hard on the story and grammar. Part 2 should be greatly improved in these areas.

We'll I’m off on holiday for a couple of weeks... talk 2 everyone soon

Tony Day · 10-18-2005, 11:21 AM

Hi all.
I have finished the last 12 pages of Turtle Turncoat. You can have a gander at my home page but there aint much to see at present. It just proves that I've done it.
Colouring will be a different issue and will take me at least a month to complete if I do 4 pages a week if everything goes to plan.

I have the flu at the mo (hope it aint the bird kind) so it might take a little longer. I'm glad that the Technodrome is back up and running thanx to Krang and I hope your all doing ok.

Laterz...

Tony

Part 1 finished (Drawn and Inked)

Uh oh, Tony. I'm not sure what happened, but it obviously can't be good. Don't keep us in suspense!

Tony Day · 10-23-2005, 10:02 AM

I'll email you adam

Tigerfog · 10-24-2005, 03:13 PM

I don't know what's going on, but no matter what, I want you to know I'll always be waiting patiently for new pages of your story!

Eight lanes of shimmering cement running from here to Pasadena. Smooth, safe, fast. Traffic jams will be a thing of the past. I see a place where people get on and off the freeway. On and off, off and on all day, all night! Soon there will be a string of gas stations, inexpensive motels, restaurants that serve rapidly prepared food! Tire salons, automobile dealerships and wonderful, wonderful billboards reaching as far as the eye can see! My God... It'll be beautiful.
