[Fan Comic] Sketches

*oldmanwinters* · 01-22-2009, 08:15 AM

I do like to hone my style every now and then. Most of these are things I've done in the last 4 years or so. These are some various takes on the Turtles I've tried to emulate:

Inspired by the cover of TMNT First Graphics Novel Book III; I did this one fairly recently.

Some of my favorite designs from the Image TMNT run

Old Toon Rat King

Mirage Shredder

From "Turtle Tracks":

Thanks, tOkKa, I really appreciate your feedback.

Here's some pages I threw together for a story I had in mind regarding Vampire Fish.... (yeah, I know, too many Joker episodes of Batman: The Animated Series). I was going to try a toon/Mirage hybrid style using the Vampire villian from Volume 1, #29. He poisons the city's water supply and turn all the fish into carries of the vampiric virus. Maybe the whole concept just got too zany for me. But like all my "fan comics" they have no dialogue and remain just isolated pages:

Donatello works to find an antidote for the city's water problem. Much to his chagrin, Raph and Mikey are too busying beating a very hard Konami game.

The Turtles investigate the sewers and stumble upon a nasty surprise.

Leonardo and Raphael are infected!

Rescuing April from the Vampire (still working through what I wanted April and the Turtles to look like).

The Vampire escapes into the night.

April and the Turtles plot to solve the Vamprie outbreak.

Good job

i like how you did the expression of the turtles' faces and the vampire in the last ones you posted, they look funny.

*cowabunga14* · 01-24-2009, 01:52 PM

Nice stuff! I like the fact that your drawings have a bit of an old toon influence.

*Voltron* · 01-24-2009, 10:33 PM

The more you go, the bigger a fan I become of it. The second batch are very fun to look at, which is difficult to capture in art (I feel, at least).

Thanks to all who've left the kind words. While I may lack in proportion and technique, I try to make sure I always make my characters fun to look at and invest some emotion in the drawings. I appreciate you noticing!

Now if only I could perfect that line art...

More to come!

Awesome sketches! You do a great job with the characters' expressions especially. ^^

*oldmanwinters* · 01-26-2009, 08:25 PM

Here's one of those I did:

Shredder is too busy to pay attention to his stupid but lovable goons.
[Little problem with Bebop's feet being on a level plane, but I was thinking about the right foot being further away from the viewer. Wish I'd done a better job of that]

You do a really good job with this sketches. Love all of them

1984 · 01-28-2009, 09:52 AM

i really enjoy your sketches especially the expressions of your characters, nicely done.

*oldmanwinters* · 01-30-2009, 04:28 PM

Not near as ugly as people remember!

*oldmanwinters* · 02-01-2009, 01:42 PM

Here's the rest of the Channel Six gang to go with that Irma!

April is a little ticked at Burne for assigning her to those boring "human interest stories."

*oldmanwinters* · 02-06-2009, 09:00 AM

These rock

*oldmanwinters* · 02-07-2009, 02:05 PM

Some character sketches:

April is drawn in the "Retro" styles posted on Murph's blog a while back. The Turtle styles are from the "How to Draw TMNT" comic.

TMNT appendages

Quick sketch in the Dan Berger style. I'm not quite satisfied with that eye on the right (which I guess would make it the Turtles' left eye), though.
