If you could have any job that dealt with the involvement of the turtles what would it be and why?

I think I'd work for playmates. I think it would be neat to be in charge of approving design concepts for toys. or If I was artistic enough I'd love to be involved in the comics in some fashion.

Head writer of an animated series. I have tons of ideas I played out in fan-fiction I would love to incorporate into an animated show as far as tone, continuity, characters involved, and direction. It would be tons of fun bouncing ideas off of others and seeing what we come up with nispired by all that we love of TMNT and then seeing it play out as it develops and get fan feedback. A job like Tom and Ciro have is one to be jealous of.

Yeah, head writer of an animated series would be great. I certainly would love being paid to draw TMNT comics as well. Directing a TMNT movie or playing a role in it would be pretty cool as well.

A writer in the original toon universe. So much potential there.

The original cartoon is the only TMNT universe where literally ANYTHING can happen.

I think I'd try to come up with how Shredder and Krang met, and also explain Krang's backstory better.

Yep, and I'd definitely do more with Traag and the Rock Soldiers...not to mention show Shredder reunite with the human Foot Clan in Japan.

And I'd also completely re-write the episode where they visited my city. It was completely wrong. They must have confused it with Pamplona or something :lol:

Cover artist for IDW, I'm not consistent enough to do a whole comic but I could go nuts with covers. I'd also love to write the comics and be involved in character design. But honestly if it meant being involved any job there would be a dream!

I would say either a writer for the Nick show or a VA on the Nick show. Both would be awesome.

The ultimate dream job would have been to have invented TMNT to begin with.
Since that's been done, I guess my dream job would be to have the most power over everything TMNT by possibly owning it and then getting involved in shaping everything about it from the shows to the comics. I mean you can't do everything but having control over everything, as a fan, would be a dream job.

Well, I'm pretty good at doing imitations of other cartoon characters, so I think I'd be good at it.

Just give me the job where I get to be the guy with complete veto control over the TMNT franchise and I'm happy.

Well, at least we'd get a serious and darker TMNT movie and/or cartoon for the first time. That would be pretty cool and a breath of fresh air.

Or nothing at all. Which I'd be OK with too.

Think of the money you'd make, though. You wouldn't even have to sell out. A faithful adaptation of the Mirage Comics could be pretty great and make them more well-known.

Cover artist for IDW, designing merchandise art (like in the 90's where everything was hand drawn, as opposed to now when they recycle the same CG stock poses over and over), or being a voice actor involved with an animated series.

For me it would be the marketing director (Mark Freedman for example). They can provide as much merchandise as possible and more importantly can be part of QC with regards to seeing if its not only a good product, but can have an indirect influence on the other units, such as the Playmates toys, cartoons, comics, and movies. And there's always an opportunity to still be creative and make my own merchandise.

What would you do if you couldn't fail, TMNT style.

I would totally want to be World's most Renowned expert on TMNT with my own TV Show, exploring the entirety of the franchise. Meeting people, hunting and collecting figures, games, movies, eer'thang.

Opening up a museum in my Home City.

All this being paid for or if I won the lottery.

Merchandise designer for Nick show, Playmates Quality Control. No more:
unpainted Fishface eyeball
Cracking Fishface fin
Random plastic squares
Sticky stuff between fingers
Random paint splotches on Don and Shredder
Unmovable Snakeweed arm hinges
Loose Baby Mikey arm joints
:x all of these happened to me :x
Also, I heard there is a job for Lucasfilm where all this guy does is play with Star Wars toys and approve them. He gets paid a TON, and he works right down the hall from Lucas. So they're close friends.
I would LOVE to do that for TMNT.

I would work animating on one of the shows. I love animation, Turtles and hope to become an animator anyway so working on one of the shows would be like icing on the cake. :D

Hell if I were just drawing concept art for characters I would be happy.

Doing a character's voice is always cool, but I'd also love to be an animator or illustrator for the comics. Also, working for Playmates Toys would be...interesting.

Creating my own live action movies. Not because of Michael Bay or anything with the new movie just that Id love to put together my own version of a movie series.

Doing an animated series has been done 3 times and it also takes way more writing and coming up with storylines so I don't feel a big need to do that.

I love drawing and Id say Im pretty good. Not great but good enough so Id like to design everything in the movies.

My dream job would be writing episodes of an 11th season of the first cartoon, what happened after Divide and Conquer. I have plenty of ideas.

Head of the original toon'. I would have more storylines and keep it like S1, but make it better as it goes along.

I'd love to animate them, or make comics. I love planning comics about them, but I'm always too lazy to finish them..!

Well, at least we'd get a serious and darker TMNT movie and/or cartoon for the first time. That would be pretty cool and a breath of fresh air.

And yes, if I could do something with the TMNT I'd definitely make something more darker, but then it wouldn't be a show for children anymore.. I love how the comics can be a bit darker, but we rarely see anything dark animated.. I'd love to see that.

I'd love to make a cartoon more or less lighthearted, but as time goes on and the turtles get older, it gets darker and darker and more mature.

Then, in one of the much later episodes, April looks through some old videos of herself and the turtles from season one, and how much fun they're having as compared to now.

Well a voice actor in the current series would probably be the most fitting for me, especially since the two talents I want to work with most (Richardson and Whitman) are there.

I'd also like to be the director and/or lead designer of a legit TMNT fighting game.

I'll shoot for something a little more realistic and say alternate cover artist for the IDW comic book series. Even if I only did one then I could mark that off my kick the bucket list not that I'm expecting to die anytime soon mind you. Why would I want to do it? I've wanted to do official TMNT comic related work for over eight years. To me that's like an eternity. I've never submitted anything yet so I guess if I don't start, that dream won't become a reality.
