Dream Studios - fan comics from Russia
 

Hello, everybody! My name is Artem, I'm from Russia and I and my friends are huge fans of TMNT. In 2012 we created a creative group called "Dream Studios". Since then we have been creating our own fan comics about Ninja Turtles. Our team includes three artists - Dasha Ko, Linami and Dark Man. Arseny Dubakov (Demon-Alukard), who is the editor-in-chief of the publishing house "Illusion Studios" (the official publishing house for the comics "Mirage" in Russia) also helps us.

This year our team turns 5 years old. During this time we created 6 different comics about the Turtles in Russian. In 2017, we are preparing for release three more comics and begin translating our comics into English.

Examples of pages of our comics in Russian:

Today I present to you our first English comic "Illusions". This is a one-shot, which we made in honor of our first anniversary. In June, we hope to present this comic to Kevin Eastmain and Jim Lawson at the Big Festival in St. Petersburg.

I hope you will like it!

Also you can read this comics here or download here.

Cool stuff Artem. Keep it coming!

Very nice stuff. Thanks for sharing. I hope to see more.

Thank you!:tsmile:

That "Illusions" story certainly has a surprising twist! I kinda like seeing April reimagined as a mob boss. Makes me want to see how Splinter and Baxter Stockman would fit in that universe. Thanks for sharing the English version, Artem!

The alternative universe is an interesting "what if?" but I'm looking forward to seeing the Ultimate TMNT Adventures storyline continue!

EDIT: This was my 10,000th post.

I clicked on one of those and got about 30 virus/trojan warnings.

Illusions was great. I like the art and the story was interesting, seeing the positions switched.
Always dug fan comics like this and hope more of yours in English will be available soon.

Thank you very much! This summer we will release "Origins #2: Shredder & Splinter" in Russian, after that we will work on the English versions of "Origins" #1 and #2. And I hope that by next year we will translate all our other comics.:)

Well, we have finally finished work on the English versions of our two comics "Origins". Part 1 and 2.

Technically, these comics are not the first, but you can read them without previous numbers.

If you find any errors, please let me know.

Enjoy!:)

I can't wait!
 

I can't wait!

I apologize, but I do not understand you. You already can download and read two comics. Or are you talking about the next issues?

Why must I download the coloured comics? Why can't I read them online.

I also have one idea (online as long as it is just in Russian). If you click at the letters in Russian, it will translate into English.

Ok, I'll download comics for on-line reading soon.

Thank you.

Great!
 

This is great!

Thank you!:)

Thank you, Artem! It is a real pleasure to see these two issues translated into English! Thank you for sharing them with the world!

Thank you! Can I hope for a small review on these comics, please?:P

Woah! I love these takes on their origins. Especially on Hun and Karai being involved in Shen's murder. That was pretty original :D .

But boy, Krang can't get a break from having a bad relationship with his father, can he :lol: ?

Thanks!
It's funny because the story "Origins" #1 was written long before the release of micro "Krang" by IDW.:lol:

That makes the situation even better :D

Sure thing! Where should I sent it once I get it finished?

Oh, thanks! I think that the best place for review is this topic. I'll wait with impatience!:)

Those are some good issues!
The art is great and you guys continue to make some interesting tales.
Are these issues actually printed and sold over there in Russia?

Thank you!:)
Yes, we printed several comic books in Russian. I hope in 2018 we will prepare printed versions of all our comics in English.

Awesome! Can't wait!! :D

I can't wait!

Thanks! When we start to prepare printed versions of our comics, I will write about it here.:)

Yesterday we printed "Origins" 1 & 2 for Kevin Eastman and Jim Lawson, who will come to Russia on June 10:

This looks interesting. I wouldn't mind adding these to my collection.

So, it's out in Russia now?

Sorry, until we printed only a few copies for Jim Lawson and Kevin Eastman. We will print more in summer or in autumn.



Also Jim drew two covers for our next comics!

Haha, I really love that Lawson cover of the cheesy space-age parody with Krang's Android and April. Looks like he really put a lot of work into making it awesome. :tgrin:

That Lawson art looks great! Can't wait to see it on the completed comic.

"Empire of Evil" (2016) vs. "Wanted Bebop and Rocksteady" (2017) :tlol:
