Wishful Thinking

Hopefully this little doodle is self-explanatory, but just in case - I'll expound.  The original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie is one of my all-time favorite films (the subsequent 2 were mostly awful).  I can recite the dialogue right along with it, and my younger brother even memorized the Turtle Power rap at the end.  We must have watched it after school (on VHS) a couple hundred times.  So when I heard that Michael Bay was going to be in charge of the new live-action reboot...  I was more than upset.  I wasn't a huge fan of Transformers, but I hated his versions.  He cares more about spectacle than story - and doesn't respect the source material, if you ask me.  So this is me (in 30min.) imagining that it was all a big joke and that Kevin Eastman (& Peter Laird, of course) wished the same.

>30 Minutes, < 30 Minutes


Okay - so this took a bit more that 30 minutes - more like 2 or 3 hours.  TJ & I weren't able to draw together this week, but I've been wanting to do this illustration since we started this whole thing & I figured now was as good a time as any.  Enjoy.


And... here's a few Less-Than-30-Minute Turtles from TJ - which he couldn't post himself because they are taped to my computer at work.  A recent 5-10 minute rendition of another punny idea of mine - Gi-Raph.  And probably the inspiration for this whole project - my favorite drawing of Shredder ever.  Both on Post-It notes.

Raph!


Turtle Twednesday - Raphael

Raph has always been my favorite turtle.  Had some trouble with this one - rushed the inking - I like it, but I wanna do better.

First Post! with Raphael

So, what are we doing here? Why, it's simple. We're drawing Ninja Turtles. Anybody in the turtle universe. We're drawing them, and we're doing it in just 30min. After that it's pencils down and turn it in. So come back and check it out. Until then, here's a Raphael I did shortly after seeing Sin City way back when.
