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.

I just love the visual of Splinter clutching his stick. My visual inspiration for that pose came from one of the old TMNT coloring books, and I love taking cues from those books (some of my all-time favorite renderings of the old toon Turtles):

Even my April pose borrows a little from the pages of "Shredder Gets Splintered":

That's cool that you included those elements. I enjoy reading/hearing about the process people use in making fanart pieces.

As for that second picture, it's a little weird to see April using a rope and being involved in the action since normally she wasn't doing that in the OT.

It sure was weird! Not only was it out of continuity for April to be a part of that fight, but why was she wielding a lasso of all things? Still, that page always stuck in my mind because it was so contrary to what one might expect.

I little something I got inspired to throw together tonight. At this point, it's still somewhat of a Work in Progress. Anybody got recommendations as to what text fonts I should use to really sell that modern comic book cover effect?



Oh well, as a kid I always thought Don Turtelli's tickle schtick was hilarious. Now the internet has gone and ruined it for me. Maybe I'm making some kind of artistic commentary on society here?

Heh, thanks, Jeph!

You know, my first thought was to do Donatello-Rocksteady in this parody, but I knew it just wouldn't come across as funny, and I've never tried to replicate the more realistic art style of IDW.

Actually that's exactly what Powder wound up doing.

Here's a piece I've had in mind for a couple of years now. It's almost close to finished:

Finally finished coloring this piece:

Awesome! Love it. Hope for more episode dedications. Only thing is where is Z?

Ha, well, the layout was already getting pretty crowded and I just couldn't think of a good place to fit him in.

Great work Adam. Love the insect theme and its very well done. I cant remember. Did this mutation ever happen to April in the old toon? I only ever remember her turning into a cat. I swear Vern looks familiar but I might be thinking of an episode of Futurama

Keep it up man

[oldmanwinters]

Thanks, Tony!

Glad you like Spider-Vernon. I can definitely see what you mean about him looking like something straight outta Futurama.

April underwent three mutations over the course of the Fred Wolf cartoon series: anthropomorphic cat ("The Cat Woman from Channel Six," season 2), a Creature from the Black Lagoon styled fish woman ("Rebel without a Fin," season 4), and this wasp design in "Revenge of the Fly" (season 7).

Irma and Vernon also had a previous temporary mutation in "Wererats from Channel Six," one of my favorite episodes featuring the Rat King's rematch with Splinter.

Thank you kindly, folks!

The way Irma was able to make use of her wings in that episode, it certainly made me think it was an intentional homage to the old Mothra movies.

Finally got around to coloring this homage to the cover of Archie's TMNT Adventures #11.

Very nice work Adam. I don't know about the archie comic but im definitely getting "A thing about Rats" vibe from it Also, I was looking at your page: https://www.flickr.com/photos/220478...n/photostream/ Where's Shredders faceplate?

Tony

P.s....a trivia question... can you guess where this image is from?

Thanks, Tony! That image of Shredder without the faceplate sure it weird! It definitely looks to me like Chris Allan (who did most of the last half of the Archie TMNT comics) drew it, but I have no idea why he decided to go with the no faceplate look for Shredder... maybe he thought the guy just had a nice face?

The screencap you posted is from the opening scene of "The Cat Woman from Channel Six," where the Turtles are watching a sci-fi B-movie. They had the TV turned up so loud it disturbed Splinter's meditation session. To quote Michelangelo "Outrageous! This is the part where the slime monster scarfs up the entire city of Cleveland!" Splinter warns them, "Too much television warps the mind and promotes violence." After Bebop and Rocksteady accidentally discover the secret sewer lair, a battle ensues and the TV is destroyed, ironically setting in motion the chain of events which lead to April getting turned into a monster reminiscent of the sci-fi B-movies the Turtles like so much.
