My MNT Gaiden fancomic

[Whitewolf89]

LOL Silly.

On another note, Tigerfog m' bro, I thought you might like to know that both of the links on your "Links" Page, to The 'Drome here and to Sakan-san's site don't seem to be working. I've clicked on them each time I've visited, and they don't take me to either place. Like I said, just thought that you migh like to know.

Oh, yeah, and the last time I visited (which was last night), I noticed that I was Visitor #100 to the site! Yay me!!!

EDIT: I hate to keep harping on THIS subject, bro, but your really DO need to update your web-addy info both here AND on your DevArt page. They're BOTH still reading "obscurezodiac.150m.com" (and further attachments), and are just taking interested folks to your former, and now dead, addy. I'm NOT trying to be snippy, OR pushy, but you really DO need to change them to the NEW addy.

Peace.

Hey, bro! Just in case you swing by and read this thread (provided you're NOT TOO busy drawing your l'il ol' fingers off this weekend trying to get the Prologue done! ), I stopped by the website myself just a bit ago, and the visitor-count is now up to over 300! Congrats! May there be many, many more!

LOL Besides posting updates when you get a bit too busy to, I'm gonna be posting when it hits 500 and 1000, and so forth, too, so be warned!!!

[Kazari]

I can't wait to see what happens next!!! *nods* UR SOO AWESOME!!

[Whitewolf89]

Hopefully we will soon. He was going to try to get the Prologue finished up this weekend, and posted so he could get rolling on the MAIN MNT Gaiden Fancomic. Keep your fingers crossed, k?

[Kazari]

Whoa!! So this isn't the main event yet?? *dies* LOL

[Whitewolf89]

LOL Nope. THIS, my dear feline friend, is just the Prologue, hence the name. The MAIN Gaiden story will take place when our boys (Leo, Raph, Donnie and Mikey) are in their 30's, and will also introduce Tigerfog's own TMNT fan-character, Renoir, who will be in his teens when the story takes place.

My advice is to go to the MNT Gaiden page of "Obscure Zodiac", and click on the section marked "About MNT Gaiden". It's button is right next to the "Read MNT gaiden" one. But THAT is still just the Prologue yet. If you want a HINT of the MAIN fancomic (coming soon LOL ), then go to Tigerfog's DeviantArt Page, click on his "Scraps" section button, and the first six (original, which he said he'd be re-doing the art before he put the Gaiden up on HIS regular website) pages are there. You might have to hunt a little bit, 'cause the first 20 or so pages of the Prologue are, too, but I PROMISE you, they're well worth a look (well, ALL of Tiger's work is, actually (and I hope he doesn't KILL me for calling him "Tiger"! LOL)). Go check 'em out. His DA addy is http://tigerfog.deviantart.com . Remember, look in the "SCRAPS" Section, NOT his MAIN Gallery, k? K.

Peace.

ARRGH!
I couldn't do it!!!!
Two family reunions in a single weekend plus a huge bunch of homeworks is just too much!
-_-;
Sorry, I couldn't reach my original expectations, better luck next time.
I'll stop planning things from now on since life is too unpredictable.
Call me Tiger anytime, Wolfie! ^O^
BTW, I'm drawing right now. I should upload a page later this night.

Awww okies!!! YAY!! LOL

Hey, hey, hey, don't worry about it, bro! Life just has a very, VERY nasty habit of throwing a monkeywrench into your plans at times, sometimes JUST when you least expect it. You know, the old "Best laid plans of mice and men sometimes go ker-put!" syndrome. And multiple family reunions, to say nothing of loads of homework, can contribute to just that. TRUST me, I know how that goes...only TOO well sometimes. It's no thing, and we can wait. You're not THAT far from the end of the Prologue; just look at it THAT way, and it won't seem so bad.

Be my pleasure. I just didn't want to call you "Tiger", then find out you didn't like it. Still, buds SHOULD go by the shortened form of their names, right? I mean, the GUYS do, after all!

Hmmmm, Tiger and Wolfie. Has sort of a nice ring to it, don'tcha think, bro?

As for a new page, coolies! I'll check out it out in a bit. Right now, my mom and I are in the middle of a "CourtTV" watching marathon. LOL GOTTA have my "CourtTV"!!!

Btw, the "buttons" on your links page still don't work. Just thought you might like to know.

[Tigerfog]

^O^ Added one page... I wonder if people are still awake at this hour?

It might not make perfect sense in japanese, but I chose the kanjis depending on the meaning of the sign, so it probably won't make sense if they are used alone, like I did. But here are their meanings:
-Leonardo : Honor
-Raphael : Hope
-Michelangelo : Happiness
-Donatello : Reality
Acutally, that's what they respectively lose by the end of the prologue. The question is how they lose it. Stay tuned!

I'm awake.

I like the comic so far. Nice artwork.

Oh my gawd....

Shoot, yeah, I usually am! LOL It ain't no thing for me to stay up til 1 AM some nights...usually reading fanfics and what not. Or enjoying some of my fave fanart. Like yours, bro.

Oh, I'm staying tuned, TRUST me! I was in on this at the start of this rollercoaster ride, and I will be there right up to the "bitter" end! And I just have the feeling that, for our guys, the ending of the Prologue WILL be bitter. In a LOT of ways. Right?

EDIT: Eeeks! Just checked out Page 44! Mikey's just about to find out that Raph was right about Leo after all!

[Tigerfog]

I'm glad you all like MNT Gaiden Prologue so far! I just hope the main storyline will be able to captivate you as much as the prologue. Many people get turned off by the idea of a 5th turtle, so I gotta be careful with how I'll handle the storyline!
Update... if any of you are STILL awake, hehe.
Page 45 is up!
BTW, I know there are details that are forgotten or omitted (like Raph's bleeing mouth and stains of blood on his face and left hand...). I'll add them once I'm done with the prologue.

[Ookami Blue]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!


What a place to leave off!!

*dies*

I LOVE this comic.... it is by far the BEST webcomic I have EVER read and I would say better then most manga I read.

I am VERY excited to read the REAL story and with your excellent skills at crafting the characters, I think you can bring new light to the "5th" Turtle idea!

I am excited!!

[Whitewolf89]

TRUST me, I'm awake, bro. Oh, Lord, am I awake!

Just checked out Page 45! Eeks! Leo's really, REALLY serious about killing poor Raph, isn't he?! Oh, geez, and Mikey just standing there not knowing WHAT to do! *runs and dives under the bed again, muttering about not being able to sleep tonight at all.........*

Geez, where's Splinter when ya need him?! And the guys DO right now!

LOL Speaking of updates, can we expect any more pages tonight? Or do we gotta wait a bit? Either one is fine with me.

And speakin' just for myself, I expect to like the MAIN comic just as much as I do this one, IF not MORE, in its own way. Nobody seems to do fancomics about the guys in their beyond-teen years. This will be a positive TREAT!!!

And I, for one, am NOT put off by the idea of a fifth Turtle. SOME folks might be, but not THIS Mouse! I'm looking forward to getting to know Renoir a bit more. He's kinda cute. And since the older Turtles all have their own nicknames, are you gonna give HIM one, too? Or CAN you even shorten "Renoir"?

Still collecting junk parts for Donatello...^O^ have you noticed that only Raph had thought about contacting Splinter? Then again, Mikey was there so Raph completely forgot it.

Ah, sorry! I gotta sleep now. School tomorrow, you know (NOOO!). Even though I don't wanna go...

It's gonna a storyline driven by character development. In other words, the main focus is the character development. The storyline's gonna be just as important, but not as much as the characters themselves.
That's pretty much the case in the prologue, I think.
And doing the turtles in their adulthood will be hard: I just don't know I should allow myself to do and what I shouldn't because the turtles are the turtles and there are certain things in each of them that cannot change no matter what. I don't wanna make them unrecognizable, so it's gonna be a challenge!

Renoir can be shortened into 'Ren' which is a chinese name, I think (Thinking about the game Shenmue 2). That might work.

Wow! It's getting really intense in the story! I'm really loving it, Tigerfog! Your fan comic is such an inspiration for me!
