That's a shame. I love his work.

well these aren't new, but i havent post them sooooo...

i appoligize ahead of time for the crappy pics.

a page from Rick McCullom's "Twilight of the Ring" that i picked up from Danny M. a few months back.


an easily recognizable piece from Matt Howarth

i know some people dont like Matt's TMNT stories. i for one found them entertaining and i really like his artwork. Matt is one of those artist who NEVER sells any of his original art, but he was kind enough to make this recration for me.

and a TMNT collection wouldnt be complete without a sketch from Mike Dooney!

[OA]

So I came across this today. Not sure if anybody is interested but just in case, here is some artwork from Mark Torres who did work on the recent Infestation books:

http://www.comiconart.com/MarkTorres.html

Prices range from about $200 for interiors to $1000 for covers. Looks like he does commissions too.

DAYYYYYUM! did you see his commission prices?!
$200 for 1 character no background
$300 for 1 character full background
$100 for EACH additional character

if i wanted to get a typical black and white TMNT sketch with backround, i'd have to pay $600!!! hey, i totally dig his work and i understand/believe that artists deserve to get paid for thier efforts, but F#@k...that's high!

$400 would be a more resonable fee for an 11x17 pencil/ink, black & white, original sketch containing the 4 turtles/background. $600 if its fully colored. most comic artists that ive contacted about commissions quote $200-$400 for something similar.

LOL, i can get 2 similar jim lawson commissions for LESS than one of Mark Torres'.

Spoiler:

An easily recognizable piece? Where's it from? And what's going on in the drawing? And it's great that he did recreate it for you.

And I'll say this before I say what I want to say: I love Dooney's art. I've said it before, he's in my top 3 of TMNT artists. And I do want to get a commission from him, so I can say I have one. But when I see his commissions, it seems like they all look the same. Some action pose, jumping in the air.

Even though they all look the same to me, and I wish I could get something more personalized, DAMN!!, he is a great artist. After I get my Berger piece, I'm going after him next.

First thing I saw when I clicked the link. Back when I first joined this forum a few years ago, and saw that people did commissions, and wanted one, that's the prices I thought I would see from some of the bigger names.

I mean, Kevin FREAKIN' Eastman (when he accepts commissions, that is), is cheaper than that. And he helped CREATE the TMNT. But I guess people charge what they think they're worth, or what people will pay. I personally don't like the art inside the IDW issues (but I still buy them, because I'm liking the story), so I wouldn't even pay $50 for a commission from him.

Great new art additions PlasticPlayhouse.

It's the cover of TMNT volume 1 #41 titled "Turtle Dreams". The turtles are sleeping...dreaming.

[Powder]

Great pieces, Plastic. Mark Torres is a pretty cool artist, I guess, but his work is NO-WHERE near worth what he thinks it is.

[zkarlette]

That Mike Dooney sketch is pretty Awesome ! His sketches are usually my favorite .

Which is partly why my two commissions from Dooney have not been turtles. Break the norm heh. However, I think you will agree that his interpretations of Shredder and Splinter are pretty damn good heh...

[Samhain]

Wile Dooneys work is impressive, I find that his Shredder is a little....feminine. Not sure why.

[the power of 3]

two new pieces from Jim Lawson

1. Recreation of TMNT#1
2. I asked Jim to do a piece to resemble my family, and this was the result. Raph and Leo are my two boy's favourites.

[TheCanadiandrome]

those Lawson's are sick! congrats

[Powder]

The first is amazingly awesome of course, but that second piece is fanfreakintastic. Cute, original, funny, conceptually great, all around dope!

[the power of 3]

Thanks guys... I am extremely happy with both. Especially the second one. I gave Jim a few ideas with it and he did the rest, fantastic result..Plus the turn around time on these two shipped to Australia was amazing.

[Plasticplayhouse]

Yeah those are great. Congrats! Jim is an amazing artist who never disappoints. Pencils, inks, tones, colors...he does it all and he's affordable!

[Samhain]

Amazing pieces, Lawson delivers as usual.

I agree with this statement of Shredder being a little feminine.
This is my first time seeing Dooney draw Splinter and I really like his interpretation!

Nothing however, in my opinion, can top Dooney's Chote, Dino is bad As#

Here is a chance to get a cool sketch

[Redrumh2o]

Do you think Dan Duncan will ever sell some of his art/concepts/pages??

Also, is there a site that shows his appearance schedule? Id like to get a set of the 4 cover #1s signed by him.

Thanks for the help

[Plasticplayhouse]

here's a recent pick up. my name is not mike, but i REALLY liked the full body pose (something you dont see too often in current Eastman sketches) and Donnie is tied as my favorite turtle along with Leo. i could care less about the personalization, i'm more about the art it's self
