[Fan Comic] New Fan Comic TMNT 2012 "The full 80%"

[The Great Saiyaman]

Well here's the fully worked out version of my reject drawing. If it looks familiar, it's my take on the cover art for "Avatar the last Airbender, the Art of the series."


Mahalo is a mix between Avatar Aang and Song Goku from Dragonball Z. As such I depicted him with a battle axe to showcase that he has no squabbles about having to fight for real, which is very different from what Avatar Aang would be.

[The Great Saiyaman]

Mikey's act of desperation leads him towards the Bradford clone.

But can he be trusted?

Cool comic entry man! Love the colouring too.

Thanks man and here's my new preview page.


Well, I have used examples before to draw NYC in my comics and I figured it to be cool to make a very blatant reference to the one comic I used the most.

https://theslingsandarrows.com/wp-co...n-New-York.jpg
Spirou and Fantasio in New York.

I used the stances of the characters and did my version of the background, which took a LOT of time, four hours in total.

This shall also be the title page for the seventh chapter.

[The Great Saiyaman]

While the Chris Bradford clone gets his Peter Parker "With great power comes great responsibility" lesson, back in Japan Tsunami is trying to get Leo to spill the beans about the secret of his heritage while also keeping a secret herself.

[The Great Saiyaman]

With Leo unwilling to spill the beans on who he really is, the members of Karai's Ops squad decide to have somebody coming in who is familiar with Leonardo, somebody who has fought against and along side him multiple times.

Tiger Claw is difficult to get right but I guess I got him right enough.


Having proved himself to be somebody trustworthy, the Chris Bradford clone now finds himself being introduced to the series that the real Chris Bradford owned the DVD boxes of.

Thinking up this scene made me realize how alike Son Goku of Dragon Ball is to Avatar Aang.

But he and Mikey quickly realize that bringing Casey to safety might not have been all that safe.

[The Great Saiyaman]

Mikey and the Bradford's clone's oversight put Casey Jones in real danger, what can they do to put it right?



This is the first time I depicted June in full color, the colors of her suit match the color scheme of a hissing cockroach.

[The Great Saiyaman]

Will our heroes make it in time?

I put in a little joke with the name the Bebop clone is using here, since it's customary to give medical staff in cartoons German names, I wonder how many people who read this comic know what "Kartoffeln" are...

[The Great Saiyaman]

And so it goes on...





So what did the mutagen turn Casey Jones into? Well as you can see it turned him into his 2003 series' counterpart.

It's funny but as soon as Casey appeared in the 2012 series, people have been complaining about him being to scrawny, not nearly as cool as how he was in the 2003 series. This scene basically gives those people the thing they wanted all along.

[The Great Saiyaman]

In the latest update of my story, we find out that aside from being Leo's foil, Raph and Karai have another thing in common...




So how is Raph thinking he can actually save those finned friends of his?

We'll find out in due time...

My apologies for the late response, I have been heavily procrastinating my thought out responses since I tend to analyse stories alot before leaving my thoughts

Anyways:

1. Great art of the cover of "Divided We Stand: Part 1". The style comes off as very similar to the Tales of the Tmnt theme song used by the 2012 show in its final season, and I love it. Raphael holding the Sai in particular looks top notch.

2. The Tanaka sisters are interesting so far. Adds some weight to Karai's backstory in Japan and are yet more reinforcements who can prove useful against the Kraang.

3. Who is Kuro? Doesnt come across as the biggest threat with the Kraang around, but I am still interested in his identity. Is he just a puppet for the Kraang or does he have a motivation of his own?

4. Cool that Mikey is friends with "Bradford" again, even if he is not the real deal. I was initially a little wary that this Bradford was just a trap to lure Mikey, but it seems like he has permanently changed for the better now.

5. Cool preview art of Karai, Xever and Steranko. Gotta love how Steranko is so big and Bulky that he wields a machine gun with one hand.

6. Hell yeah! Casey is back in business and he is no longer scrawny! I do wish Casey was more Bulky in the show, but atleast here he has his chance to become the big lovable dope that most people remember him as.

7. Funny how a strong minded person by Karai can't be easily manipulated by the Kraang who are only really familiar with being in a hive mind.

8. That bit about the fish is pretty cute and I love how it ties into Karai's backstory during the show. Only question is whether Raph will now be able to rescue all those fish.

It was my salute to Sophie Campbell's cover for "City at War" I drew the characters in the same stances as they were in her drawing but in the 2012 show's style. And a couple of differences.
- Leo is human
- Mikey has Kurusigama instead of nunchakus and his mask is damaged because of the Kraang attack on Shredder's old lair.

I got the idea for them when watching a rather famous episode of the original Pokémon series. The Episode in which Brock stays behind to be the assistant of Professor Ivy's. Ivy has a set of identical triplet sisters working at her lab called Minami, Konami and Tsunami.


The idea was to have the Tanaka sisters basically be human counterparts for the Turtles and the way they behave reflects that.
- Konami is Michelangelo, enthusiastic, innocent (Well, as innocent as somebody trained to be an assassin can be anyway) and enjoying life to the fullest.
- Minami is Donatello, calculating, technical, slightly neurotic.
- Tsunami is Raphael. Intense, unrelenting and bloodthirsty, she wasn't named "Tsunami"without a very good reason.

As for why I named them Tanaka.

This is Japanese comedian, drama actor and screen writer Naoki Tanaka, who in the west is best known for being one of the cast members of the ridiculous humor show "Gaki no tsukai." Now Tanaka here is best known for having to go through something very painful (sometimes multiple times) on the end of year specials of that show. His ordeal has since become a Meme. I figured it would be hilarious to have the Tanaka sisters perform that thing in my story.

Rad Brad has his reasons, which I shall reveal later.

That was my salute to this comic.

Not just a machine gun either, he's holding a Gatling gun.

You shall see eventually.

That scene was a whole lot of fun to write and draw, I initially was going on how she was verbally wreaking havoc on her captors but using psychological warfare was actually so much funnier...

The answer to that is Yes, he is able to rescue all those fish but it'll take Herculean effort and brain power of Donnie-sized proportion to pull it off!

[The Great Saiyaman]

Well how do you think Raph would get those doomed fish away from their broken fish tank?

Well here's how...

[FredWolfLeonardo]

Looks like the fish got mixed with Timothy's DNA.

[The Great Saiyaman]

Well this was meant as a five page update. Sadly the fifth page wasn't quite up to snuff so four pages for now but talk about an update, things are getting SNAKEY!






A little joke here with the Xever clone, the X-29 is a fighter plane prototype with forwards facing wings.

Time for Karai to make her move...

[The Great Saiyaman]

So what is Karai going to do with the Xever clone?

I had done this drawing of a Punk Rock Karai and this is the first page in which I use the look I created.


But that thing that the Xever clone said about her not being able to escape isn't a load of rubbish...

The Kanji is real, it says "Kuso!" which is Japanese for "S#!t!"

[FredWolfLeonardo]

I'm guessung that Karai was in a mid-air Technodrome all this time.

[The Great Saiyaman]

With this one I decided to work with Mateus Santolouco's awesome work for the cover for "Monsters, Misfits and Madmen" of the IDW series of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

But it isn't a direct copy, for one, there aren't any turtles to be found but I did depict the Tanaka sisters in the roles of their turtle counterparts.
- Konami is Michelangelo
- Minami is Donatello
- Tsunami is Raphael
- Leonardo is Leonardo (DUH!)

I knew I had to name this new chapter something direct, one word and I was milling over it the entire day and then I got it "Clash" it doesn't get anymore direct than that. And as a joke I incorporated the logo of The Clash in there too.
