I enjoy the first part, so now I get to enjoy little more with part two ..

And for Madam Splinter (portrait)

Hmm.. Your coloring style, choice of colors and inking look like a veteran's handiwork.

Are you a professional comic artist perchance?

Nah. Never been paid for any of it but I have been drawing for a long, long time. My style is very much stuck in the past (80s anime style) and its too rough around the edges for publication these days. Doesn't have that Illustrator vector smoothed out look to it

Anyways. thanks for the comments, do appreciate it. You to Fang Wolf.

...just finished page 2. U can find it here...

I see.....the Shredder in last panel!
I wonder if Shredder is she or he?

[Tony Day]

Thanks Fang Wolf. Your post made me realise that there was a glaring problem with part of the script on page 2.

Which I have now corrected

Cheers

Are Shredder a girl?
Keep it up, Tony.

Ah, the big reveal has happened. Good thing you caught that typo two pages ago, Tony!

I'm actually surprised at how similar the GenderSwitch-verse Shredder looks to her male counterpart. It's kinda scary.

Hope I didn't make her too masculine It was a tough one. I had to give her some muscle tone otherwise it might make her look a tad too weedy.

Well, now that you mention it...


Besides the obvious anatomical differences in the "chests" and the eyelashes, I can't tell much of a difference between the two, but I think the costume has a lot to do with that, as it looks no different from what I can tell.

For the record, I think your female turtles look very similar to the originals, but I think that's a good thing. I wouldn't be one who could tell a male and female turtle apart in real life, so I think that type of ambiguity is good to maintain even in cartoonish anthropomorphic versions. It's the complete opposite direction than what the infamous Next Mutation show took with Venus De Milo. Your female turtles have a sleeker build than the males, but other than that it's very much in line with the way Archie went when April O'Neil got mutated into a ninja turtles in the TMNTA Special #11.

I liked how April's GenderSwitch-Verse counterpart is named "Arnold." Is that a subtle nod to Casey Jones's legal name?

Here's the origin of the Mutant Turtle April, check the link to DrSpengler's review of "The Fifth Turtle" story:

I think this story may have been referenced a little in a dream sequence that showed up in the opening pages of the recent IDW Micro-Series #7.

I had no idea that was Caseys legal name so no not a nod to it.

As for the links. I couldn't actually see the April Turtle there. Just he flying squirrel girl and some big yellow insect monster thing?

April is the turtle in the white mask in the page scan. The only anatomy difference I could spot was the fact that her beak and fingers were a bit more angular than the regular turtles.

As for Casey's name... "now you know, and knowing is half the battle!"
