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.
