First off I want to say hi. Some of you may know me already, but I've been out of touch for almost 3 years. I frequented #tmnt on Dalnet from 96-2000, been to San Diego Comic con in 98 and 2002. I was at the closing of the Words and Pictures Museum in I believe it was 99. And I was up until my deployment to the balkans, a lurker on the TMNT-L Mailing list.
I go by the handle/nick/alias Savanti Romero.
My real name is Chris King.
What I enjoy the most about the TMNT is the art. I enjoy good storylines and plots second most. But above all I'm attracted to the physical depiction and how artists portray them. As such I keep copies of ALL TMNT related art I find. I do not normally edit this art, I merely archive it for keeps sakes. Sites come and go, and many times we lose the precious visual effects that were posted on them.
I have a really nice black and white (with red blood) picture of one of the turles. I thought I got it off this forum, but I haven't had any luck finding it again here. It's possible I saved it off a website. But I saved it recently.
My point is, I wondered how it would look colored. The artists, intent was aparent, black and white using only the color red to draw attention to the blood and wounds. This keeps to the theme that the TMNT are heroes who bleed when cut, hurt when beaten, and very well can die making them more believable and more real to fans.
I colored the turtle using Paint Shop Pro 8 by using simple RGB layers and cutting and pasting. I've also attempted to color it by hand with actual paint tools. The RGB color version is done and I was wondering if anyone would have an objection to me posting the picture? I take absolutely no credit for the picture, and I TRULEY wish that I could figure out who owns it. I just think that others might have liked to have seen it in full color. I even think that the artist who drew it might find some enjoyement from the color rendition.
That and I'm so bored ;p
