Would you be interested in helping in an Image Vol. 3 conclusion?

[Andrew NDB]

I was talked out of showing the 11 finished pages I have... so you can see 5 instead.

[Buffy]

Awesome! Thanks for showing these. Can't wait to see the rest.

[Nelson]

Awesome! I'm liking the look of it. It's on par enough with the previous vol. 3 art, so the "merging" will be nice. Loved the "ba-doom" sound effect, very vol. 3.

I'd like to point something out. I don't want to sound like an inconsiderate arsehole, I'm going to say this with the best of intentions, so please don't take me wrong. But I think that the inking is a little overdone. Specially in the panels that show the interior of the appartment. It seems to me that the panels loose some depth because of it.

Thanks for the good words!

I like a constructive criticism, so it's always welcome for me =) And yeah, I like to draw backgrounds and details too much. Sometimes it's bad a lil'.

[Sabacooza]

I think it looks pretty good actually. It reminds me of volume 1 with the heavy inks.

[oldmanwinters]

Nice inks!

Did Powder or Demon-Alukard do this?

Not I! Demon-Alukard is the artist. Alot of his panels are based on my original ones, though.

Ah, I remembered your pencils from a while back and I couldn't figure out if DA just inked your work or whether he drew it himself. Well done.

[discordiatookie]

Looking pretty great guys! Dig the art alot. And seems to be getting straight into things, which is all good.

The two "surprises" you requested have arrived, and in good order...

First thing that came to mind was a rhino and a warthog.

[GreenWillow]

Oh wow. Demon, these are beautiful. I like the intense, dark inking effect. Very dramatic. Some of these panels look like woodblock prints. It's still very Image in flavor but unique, too.
I really can't wait to see the finished work!

[yagyu]

HA, i like the eastman and laird street signs, nice detail lol.

[Venom]

Pretty cool for a fan effort, the only thing that seems overly trite is the "OH SHI-!", , but that can be rectified by adding a "FUUUU-" somewhere.

Hah ) They are based on the script at first =))) But yes, I used your early pages as a layouts sometimes

[CyberCubed]

The art looks quite fitting. You can easily tell its not Frank Fosco, so if you were reading Image #23 and went straight to this, you WOULD notice the art change. Might be slightly jarring, but overall the art is very nice and fits the style.

Definitely looking forward to more.

That third page is actually rough-pencilled by Fosco. There's also about 4-5 other pages that are rough-pencilled by him... and time permitting, he may or may not ink them himself. I think I've got Frank very busy for the next year on other stuff.

And here's a couple of them. A minor spoiler in the second one... but that the Turtles become normal between Vol. 3 and Vol. 4 shouldn't be a shocker to anyone.

Its kind of amazing how much pain Donatello goes through in this one series, Don never had so much problems at any other point in the comics.

I agree. What gives? Don as a Cyborg always sucked. It was the suckiest thing Image ever did. Cyborg. Don. Is. Lame.

Besides that, everything looks AMAZING! Glad to see Don returns (somehow) to his normal Turtle self in v.4...

The irony is that for a large part of Volume 4, by Peter Laird, Donatello is basically piloting a robot Turtle (in many ways, making him a cyborg again).

[ToTheNines]

Excuse the total nerdiness, but he was a cyborg in Image because he was part organic and part machanical. Whereas he's just a lil dude piloting a robot in volume 4, so he's not actually a "cyborg".

Nerdiness aside, I totally see what you're saying lol

I have been making comparisons between Vol. 3 and Vol. 4 FOR YEARS. Pete is kind of a hypocrite in the sense that he decided Vol. 3 "never existed" as far as the TMNT universe was concerned, but yet "borrowed" many of its tropes (like Raphael getting bitten by Vampires and experiencing another mutation).
