1997 TMNT fan-comic

06-12-2004, 01:00 AM

Here's a TMNT fan-comic I made back in 1997.

I remember Kali requested to see it some time ago, so here it is.

*Note* Just a fair warning, the story is pretty simple and predictable, so don't expect anything truly outrageous. Also, you may notice some spelling errors.

*minor whine*
The cover page won't load for me!

BUT! Everything else does! Ryo, I've gotta say... I'm totally impressed!

You did this comic in '97?? That's pretty incredible! You really know how to nail the Mirage-style turtles. Very, very cool. I enjoyed the action scenes where you used a lot of interesting angles. There's even some blood! This is some great stuff; thanks for sharing it with us.

BTW, I like your new avatar.

Casey's hair reminds me of someone... Yamcha from DBZ?

Thanks everybody.

BTW, I see what you mean, Azure. You're not the first one who told me that my Casey looks like Yamcha. Yeah, I suppose my TMNT anime style looks alot like Akira Toriyama's style. I can draw few other anime styles but I dicided for TMNT, the Dragonball look would work nicely (because of it's simplicity).
Of coarse I'm not trying to bite the DBZ style completely. It's a bit different.
Yeah, not only does Casey and Yamcha look alot alike, they have the same rocker-boy, tough guy attitude and love of fighting!

Very nice, very nice. 'Specially like the inking on it--looks clean!

And that was 7 years ago?! Holy crap, you're good!

Leonarda · 06-12-2004, 03:55 PM

That is sooooo awsome! I wanted to try making a mini comic myself but, I'm not much of an artist or story writer. I assume you have to do at least one do be even reasonablly decent!

I should get practicing. Nothing like a little inspiring work to get a person motivated!

WOO!

**Kali** · 06-12-2004, 05:18 PM

That was awesome, Ryo! Wonderful art and a nice flow to the storytelling. I hate to imagine what you could do now (because it would make me all jealous.)

*raphael_is_cool* · 06-12-2004, 05:26 PM

That's pretty cool. I like it

*Coola Yagami* · 06-16-2004, 03:18 PM

man, that was a cool comic dude. The fighting scenes were great. Ever considered doing a 2004 version?

06-17-2004, 04:49 PM

Yes, I have thought about it. I plan on making a TMNT fan comic in honor of the 20th aniversery of the release of the first TMNT comic (TMNT #1. 1984)
I'm trying to decide whether to draw it in the Eastman & Laird style, or my own style.

Any sugestions?

*raphael_is_cool* · 06-17-2004, 05:10 PM

Hmm while the E&L style is supremely awesome I say go with your own style. You'll probably find it a lot easier and more rewarding to work that way

These fan comics I now keep seeing have inspired me to have a go at my own little comic since I seem to have a lot of free time right now. I started today and it's looking okay, I'm having to use mirage stuff as references (no copied poses or anything yet though) since I'm not a great artist with their own style. I'm just working on bringing my own take to the style. I used to draw loads and be really good but I haven't done so in ages

Only problem I'm having is shading. I think I'll have to leave it a little sketchy and see if anyone wants to ink it
