Thanks, folks!

I had to rush to get this ready for posting by the end of April 1st, but I do plan on going back to it and adding some more shading, cleaning up some of the colors, and maybe experimenting with some unique text fonts for the dialogue.

Anybody got some recommendations for what else I could add?

As the month of April is almost over, I've finally gotten around to cleaning up my Deviantart April Fools Day piece. Yeah, lazy me...

TMNT vs. The LoL Cat-Woman from Channel Six by ~oldmanwinters on deviantART

Previous version for comparison's sake:

Spoiler:

I've also uploaded some of my experimental layouts showcasing some different ideas I had:

Donatello "Variant" Ending

Penultimate Layouts

Awesome April Fool's comic, Adam. I really like it. Good job.

Aw, man, one of my fan-comic mock covers SOMEHOW got showcased on the official TMNT facebook page in honor of National Comic Book Day!

I'm so pumped!

How'd I miss this?

When I read the "Donatello Variant" I thought you'd made reference to the color glitch in that episode that turned Leo to Donnie after the collar is removed.

The coloring/voice acting mistake definitely motivated my idea. One would think that Donatello would have been the one to think of a simpler and less-risky solution rather than Leonardo boldly thrusting his katana blade at April's throat!

Eh, yeah, that's one of my early attempts to try and imitate the Mirage style. Not a great exhibition of artistic prowess on my part, but it certainly was one of my early attempts to relearn how to draw TMNT characters.

Happy April 1st!

April's Day by ~oldmanwinters on deviantART

Seems like it's become an annual tradition of mine to upload an April O'Neil specific piece on April 1st, though this year I avoid the internet cat memes.

My tribute to another classic first season episode:

Special thanks to Ulisses31 for help with straightening some of my background lines!

*Refractive Reflections* · 07-23-2014, 12:31 AM

Great stuff oldmanwinters!

I like how you added the details of having each book have a title, and Michelangelo waiting at the balcony.

Thanks so much, RR!

I did put some thought into what books should be on April's home shelf. Most of them are jokes about famous English literature classics or some vague reference to what April's subjects of interest might be.

Let me know if you've got any better ideas.

I wanted to have a little hint of inevitable rescue in the pic. Anxiety over danger is much more easily endured when a glimmer of hope can be glimpsed. I went with Michelangelo since he was the turtle to yell a triumphant "Cowabunga!" as they proceeded to break through the porch doors in the original episode.

(or at least that's what I remembered)

Those last few post bring back nice memories! The mouser episodes were very memorable for me! I still remember the "I fear we are about to join our ancestors!" line

Great job mate!

My most cherished memories of the Turtles are intricately tied to the classic cartoon episodes I either owned on video or remember vividly remember from comics, coloring books, old VHS tapes my Granny recorded off CBS. So that's why much of my TMNT art tends to be episode-specific tributes. Surprisingly, there isn't a whole lot of fan art that covers that particular niche of the fandom.

*pennydreadful* · 07-25-2014, 08:20 PM

Great work, I love the colors that you've used.

Thanks you, pennydreadful. Seems like much of my colored artwork uses a lot of purple and yellow contrast.

*Refractive Reflections* · 07-27-2014, 12:49 AM

I can't believe I didn't notice it earlier.

So what made you to decide in making Splinter have his walking cane rather than using his own hands and feet to fight the Mousers? I'm figuring that it would make more sense for Splinter to use his walking cane to prevent his hands and feet from being bitten by the Mousers.
