Hey.

I was talking this over with Sabacooza and he thought I should post it here.

I writeUltimate Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and work with Eryck Webb (artist) and Sabacooza (Any colors, sounding board/voice of reason).

You guys can read the first issue and some of Issue 2 already done that is paid for by myself over at utmnt.com. I really love what Eryck does. And Sabacooza has done an amazing done doing colors for some of our stuff. He is currently doing a cover for Issue 1.

If anything, I really love what we're doing here, and I just want to share it with you all. Any thoughts and feedback on it are of course always appreciated.

I've been following you guys... it's an interesting concept. :tcool:

pretty interesting, i think it can get very intense with time :D

I must've missed this when it was first posted - really digging the artwork!

Cooooool!
Looking forward to catching up on this!

Awesome stuff, dude. Just started reading issue 1, and I love it!!!

I just turned in my colors for issue one. I hope Nick posts it. I gotta say, I really enjoy this series and I'm happy to be a part of it. I do hope it gets enough funding to keep going for a while though because I'd like to get to the Raph micro that's planned.

hey everyone. :)

First I want to say how happy it makes me to see some of your comments. :)

Eryck, Courtland(Sabacooza) and I really work hard at this comic. It means the world to us.

Issue 2 keeps chugging along and thanks to Sabacooza, will keep going! :D

A recent page (full of some light comedy):

And finally just throwing this out there.. if anyone is interested... we have our first issue up for a second printing. We did a VERY/EXTREMELY small print run. I used a printer I wasn't used to, amongst some of the reasons and of course money, but I was beyond pleased. I know Sabacooza can account for this but the books are really super nice.

We are covering shipping on the book too. Wanted to throw it out there... :tgrin:

BTW... the pic above is Sabacooza's amazing colors with Eryck's artwork, replacing my (let's be honest...) crappy issue one cover! For a better view... wha-la!

Why haven't I seen this sooner? Wow. I love what I'm seeing!

Thanks MsMarvelDuckie! Eryck, Sabacooza and I appreciate it! :D

I was backing this on Patreon, but I think my CC info expired. :x I'll go fix that. I'm enjoying it so far.

Awe, Thanks Pangolin :)

Wow, this is amazing!

Honestly, the preview below is one of my favorite shots in Issue 2 so far, and there are so many things I love about this issue... (first appearance of April, the two-page spread posted above, etc). But I just love his shot of NYC as the sun-sets. Awesome. :)

A new page is up as we shift away from Mako, Baxter, Eugene and April to our boys in green.... click on the preview below for the actual page on UTMNT. :)

Also just a reminder that we have 26 days left on our indiegogo for a physical copy of issue one. :)

Hello everyone! :tgrin:

Just a heads up of the latest page has been posted over at UTMNT.com -


And also I know a few people have PM'd me privately but I'll throw it here too: We have officially met our IndieGoGo amount needed for a second printing here http://d4k.us/1JO2SYW, and we have met our first stretch goal of having a new cover by artist Eryck Webb!

This is all so very very cool!
I've done some promotion for you over on Tumblr in the past, but I will again if that's alright.
(Court, this is Cat from Deviant btw).

CatB, thanks so much!

We truly appreciate it. :tgrin:

I am happy to report that our IndieGoGo was successful. We are getting a limited Second Printing of Issue 1.

Matter of fact, here is a sketch layout Eryck did for the new cover. :)

And a new page posted here:

Hey Cat. I remember you. This is a project I'm proud to be a part of and I'm doing my part along with Nick to keep it going at least until the Raphael micro is complete. However, any promotion or donations to help with anything else along the way and to keep it going beyond is still very much appreciated.

This looks like it'll be a fantastic piece and it'll make for an amazing cover. I can't wait to color it.

This looks absolutely stunning! Well done guys! Do you ship to the UK?

Just a little update.

Eryck completed the pencils and inks for the Second Printing of Issue # 1 and that was our last update from last week. :tgrin:

As you can see below... it turned out quite nicely!

Blossombrooks, I am so sorry I missed your post. Not a good excuse at all; we do offer shipping in the UK but it wasn't covered (we charged extra for it sadly).

Sorry about that! If you already didn't get involved, I am hoping to have 1-5 copies or so set-aside for anyone on the Tech who would like to donate to get a copy. :) I'll let you know when I have the physical copies in my hand.

That is gorgeous! :teek:

I'm working my way through the coloring process so Nick can get them all printed up. It should look pretty sweet.

That is some great art, reminds me of the stuff from Tales of the TMNT actually. Looks very similar to Dario-something's art from the Tales run.

Dario Brizuela? Yeah, his stuff was pretty sharp. I liked his grayscales.

A small update. We have the printed books and they're being shipped to backers.

The only hiccup currently is that an unexpected expense (I am paying for shipping myself via Stamps.com so home printing) and the only way to get ink immediately was to get it in batches instead of waiting 3 weeks. Granted, everyone has received theirs except those needing signed. Courtland signed his and they are on the way to Eryck's house. So once those are signed, they are back to me to ship out. (Also luckily I should have my tax refund by then to 'finish it').

Wow these are really nice. This stuff is really quite good! it seems as if it were an official product. The artwork and time put into this is amazing. keep it up!

Hey everyone. It's been a long time, but figure i'd post here for those who followed or privately messaged me about the book.

We are on IndieGoGo doing a third printing of Issue 1 and first printing of Issue 2. If you are so inclined. The link for it is here: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/p...sues-1-and-2#/

Hope all of you are doing as well as can be expected during these pandemic times.

Cheers!

Anybody know a way to read UTMNT at this point? I tried the wayback machine, but only the covers were archived, apparently
