Archie... Miragized? - Page 3

*Powder* · 08-31-2011, 02:14 AM

Did you know it kinda did happen? There was a crossover of sorts in Tales Of The TMNT that went I think over 2 issues, maybe 3.

Anima Gemini · 08-31-2011, 03:22 AM

You mean the issues with the C.O.W. Boys and Cudley? Good point. I love those issues. I guess I was just thinking of that one that almost happened in the '90s.

*Powder* · 08-31-2011, 03:25 AM

Yep, thems be the ones. I dunno what you're talking about though, and I'd like to!

This is the only official info I could find about it:

I think Murphy may have posted something about it a long time ago too, but I could be wrong. I don't have his old blog archived.

I'm still learning Paint Shop Pro, so this is just a rough attempt. Not as easy as the Farley pages. In fact I was so lazy I just pasted the Farley Leo over the Allen Leo, because I was tired of removing initialed belt buckles. Also curse Laird and his excessive shading.

EDIT: I was browsing TMNT #5 and realized "Mirageinizing" will fix coloring mistakes like between pages 10 and 11, where Leo suddenly becomes Mikey.

I don't mind you altering the bandana colors, belts and everything else they wear. I actually think that's a cool idea, but I say leave the stories the way they were. I like that Splinter was Hamato Yoshi in this series and I like that Casey Jones never made an appearance. He's not exactly my favorite character.

Though to be totally honest, this whole endeavor is a little sad IMO. Instead of trying to change the past why not do like IDW is doing and come up with your own interpretation of the Ninja Turtles.

I can agree Jeff. I love the Archie books, I just do it because I like to play with that sort of thing...like I did with the Hastings cover, and the IDW ashcan, taking the all red bandanas to the multi-colored ones. That and there's too much to change to Mirage-inize the Archie books. Heck, how do you rework Ray's origin?

Nobody tells you how to write your fan-fiction, let the man have his fun. & maybe you forgot, but Andrew's made like, 5 turtle comics already.

I hope you don't mind, Jester, but I went ahead and did some further editing of what had already done (including keeping the Allen Leo under the Archie logo).

**Jester** · 09-03-2011, 06:00 AM

Nice. I'm actually surprised the pictures Andrew did still have pupils.

EDIT: Should we remove the Archie logo on the top, in favor of a Mirage one?

*Donnie* · 09-04-2011, 08:26 PM

This is a unique idea, Andrew! I look forward to seeing more.

I'll have a new logo done.

For a cover, I've got a commission brewing you folks will probably enjoy.

Why? I've never really been a fan of the no-pupils look as it's sort of nonsensical. My favorite TMNT artist is A.C. Farley and he gives'em huge pupils.

You are very selective about what you do and don't like, ain't ya?

I found this idea interesting so I thought I would try it out using a page from TMNT Adventures Issue 3:

Before

After

*Jephael* · 09-08-2011, 08:15 AM

Awesome work, dude! Though I would've kept it in color and just changed their bandana colors.
