TURTLE POWERLESS

The last ninja turtle post had a bit of a rush job [comparatively speaking!] on the cartoon. Now here's something with more of a narrative. The composition might be a bit cramped. You should have seen the first layout I did - April had a full bodied shot in her negligee and she was touching a turtle. Phew, glad no one was forced to see that one! The area of the speech is a little bit weird, I know, but I composed it without speech bubble in mind [although I had a rough outline of what I wanted them to say. Speech would also work with just Raphael saying "See it? SUCK IT". Also in that last post I made reference to the lyric 'worlds most awesome fighting team'. I think it was infact 'worlds most fearsome fighting team'. An apology goes out to the families hurt in this gross negligence.

TURTLE SOUP

I didn't want to watch this show at first. The name was stupid, the anatomy looked like balloon animals. I was more into what John Buscema and Stan Lee was showing in How To Draw Superheroes - The Marvel Way! But  one innocuous day in Textiles class [you read correctly...] this guy had the teenage mutant comic book and I got curious. After my protests about the show, he tried to convince me that this comic was not much like the show - and one glance at those open pages was all the convincing I needed! Although I think I remember him saying that it was a Japanese import, and judging by what I found on the official comic pages, that could be possible. The official ones look a bit home made, I have to say. Anyway, from that point I was watching the show, and drawing over my school book covers with mutant ninja animals, all with ribbons and arm/knee pads, bandanas, and most oddly, shells. No reference here - it has been branded onto my memory cells. Do you like his mutant turtle vadge?
