Dan Duncan TMNT Art

*Powder* · 09-19-2012, 10:20 PM

Yes, he may be off the run for now, but I managed to convince him to take a commission from me back in June at the Heroes Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina. Got the piece yesterday, and it's a beauty! Don't have a scanner on hand large enough to give you better quality but I took a picture of it and did the best I could to get it lookin' good. Afterward I colored it digitally (IDW- gimmie a job! :p). Figured you'd all like to see a little something from him as it will likely be a while before we get to again! So, here it is.

Colors can be seen a little bigger here- http://powderakacaseyjones.deviantar...laze-328189852

oh. my. god. that is a freakin' beautiful piece of art! wow... if you don't mind me asking... how much did you pay him for it? i'm thinking of getting a piece from him now.

**Venom** · 09-19-2012, 10:58 PM

Wow, that scene is spectacular! Nice coloring too, especially the normal TMNT coloring scheme.

Man I miss Dan Duncan. The guy was truly underappreciated during his run.

i totally agree. even though the Turtles' heads weren't my favorite... i still loved his art.
by the way... this would have been a better cover for #12.

Great color job man!

Icegaze · 09-20-2012, 03:59 AM

Dan Duncan has good artwork and everything but I just am not fond of the way he draws the turtles in the IDW series. Their egg head shape, their mouth expressions, even their plastrons seem off most times.. I dunno.. Is it true that he won't be drawing the upcoming issues 14 and upwards? Because with all due respect to him and his fans, I wish someone else was in charge of the main art style of this series.

I would love to see this style below in the comics:

Spoiler:

It seems like a good mix between the OT Turtles, the 2007 CG movie and the 2k3 series.

Like I said before, nice piece. The colour job you did is just awesome.
Nice Work

Icegaze, I can see what you mean, Duncan's earlier issue work seemed to be better than the later issues. The head shape is a little off.
I can dig the style you showed. Either way I'm looking forward to some new art.

Great looking piece and thanks for sharing. I really like the detail you put into Mikey's arm in the colouring job

I'm glad to see that Duncan isn't totally out of the TMNT groove just yet!

*Powder* · 09-27-2012, 09:15 PM

Ha, I was actually gonna bump this thread with that myself! When I met him at the con he told me a little bit about this project. Didn't get much out of him other than that IDW had him hard at work on a TMNT sketchbook. Though he never said anything to imply it, I have a feeling it will include a bunch of familiar faces. From how much he seemed to be doing though, it may very well just be a collection of new originals from him. That in itself would be awesome, anything else is icing on the cake.

Lampy · 09-28-2012, 03:06 AM

that picture wouldve been pretty cool if it was in plain black and white. And those black brush strokes look kinda messy. Still pretty cool though.

I would love to see more art in that style. Awesome!

nice to see some duncan art again.

twopinacoladas · 09-28-2012, 03:08 PM

Nice piece and your ditital coloring has come a long way you did an amazing job on that piece very impressive

natecm · 09-28-2012, 06:04 PM

Awesome piece from Duncan. He really puts time into his sketch work. Great job on the coloring too.

Bobby Curnow · 09-28-2012, 07:57 PM

Weird to see Dan's art after other people! I got spoiled...

I dig how the Foot in that Donatello sketch is wearing all white. Don vs. Storm Shadow??

I have sneaking suspicion we've seen our first glimpse of what may be offered through IDW Limited when it's launched.
