HFS!!! And I thought the new TMNT cartoon designs rocked...these designs IMHO blow everything Ive seen away(and that includes the 80's Mirage stuff) I hat eto use this expression, but these new TMNT designs look sick as all get out.

Not impressive at all. But of course these are just early skectches, not real art. Im sure it will get better.

I'll second that... maybe the second draft will be better?

**Karpo_007** · 03-10-2003, 06:19 AM

Well thats far from final, I hope it will get better. I still beliéve that the dreamvawe series can be good one.

CoolWhip · 03-10-2003, 08:00 AM

....

Well, I don't really like them either.

Anyone know when the book is supposed to be out?

**Karpo_007** · 03-10-2003, 08:54 AM

I don't think any date has been given yet.

**Kali** · 03-10-2003, 09:37 AM

As an artist, I can see where they're going with this. Yeah, they're just sketches, but you can still see the style they're going to be using and can easily imagine what the finished products might look like. They're like teasers.

I can't wait to see the finished artwork.

Aztec General · 03-10-2003, 10:28 AM

Okay for what it was. I see no reason to claim that this they looked better than the Mirage stuff. Beaker, I'm beginning to think that you work for Dreamwave.

BigThew · 03-10-2003, 10:36 AM

Joe Mad needs to do the comic

**HorseTechie** · 03-10-2003, 10:55 AM

Oh piff.. I like these. Kind of creative, expressive. Of course, they could be preliminaries that have yet some changes to undergo before the final designs.

The first one on Mike reminds me of Image style.. mhh... but I like how the others sketches on the BHMstudies look. In'taresting duds!

*Eye of Sarnath* · 03-10-2003, 11:49 AM

Meh... they're okay. I'll wait until I see the official finished product.

I wish! Best darn comic company out there IMHO. I was blown away by these sketches alone, very angulair anime, witht hat urban look...almost akin to a little bit of the style Im trying right now.

I just bought the latest TMNT Mirage issue...and to say the art sucks is an understatement(Hmmm, square blocks with bandanas, and even worse Picaso looking people...IVe seen sprite rip webcomics look better) so I cannot wait for the real new TMNT comic! Just curious when its comic out.
In the 15 years Ive been a fan, this has to be the coolest look Ive ever seen given to the TMNT.

**Karpo_007** · 03-10-2003, 12:23 PM

I suspect too that he works for Dreamwave...

*Eye of Sarnath* · 03-10-2003, 12:55 PM

Prolly!

Dinny · 03-10-2003, 01:40 PM

I say so too

Dinny · 03-10-2003, 01:41 PM

How can u b so blown away by a few sketches

Oh.... I know you just didn't...

Anyways, I'm still finding it hard to get too excited about this new dreamwave series. Peter David's a good enough writer and all but.....

**Karpo_007** · 03-10-2003, 02:05 PM

I Know, I have the same feeling. But I will buy few issues and see where it goes. But to say that those skecthes look better than 80's Mirage... Well Some people like Next mutation. That is the way of the world.

So you guys really feel the blocko, over stimpled pap that passes as a TMNT comic in the year 2003 is better designed then the sketches shown on this thread? I mean Im all for the 80's, but modern updates on the 80's, not living in 1985 art styles. (IMHO tho, the 85 series has even better art then the current TMNT comic)

Have you guys seen the Dreamwave Transformers comics? Youre saying TMNT is better with bad black and white art, over astonishing jaw dropping color manga style? Ohhkay.

But yeah I wish I worked for Dreamwave, Ive been blown away by their stuff since 1998. However...they are in Canada, Im in Calfornia.
Um...so how do I work for them? I buy their comics nad mention how kick ass they are if that counts.

Anyways, just surprised people like the new TMNT cartoond esigns over the old ones, but dont like the idea of modern cool anime style TMNT over the 1985 look.
