So I finished Mikey:



Which also means I am finished with all four Ninja Turtles!



I was thinking of doing a quick and coloring in of the Bebop and Rocksteady sketch I posted a few days ago next.

I got Raphael to like 90%



All I have to do is clean up a bit and put in the terrifying neck spikes, and it's on to Michelangelo!

So, I missed a day. I mean, I missed a post. I drew something, I just didn't get around to posting it. Still, no excuses. I have cut off my left pinkie finger as a sign of contrition.

Now that the bleeding has stopped, here's some more exploration into the Mobile Infantry:



And I also did some sketches of that bumbling duo that the Ninja Turtles love to beat like the Washington Generals, Bebop and Rocksteady:

Still chugging away at Raph:

So I finished up Donatello. Turns out that tortoises have basically the same pattern on the fron of their shells as the back. Also scary-looking shoulder scales.



I also started on Raphael. I'm basing him off of am alligator snapping-turtle. Which, if you didn't know, are pretty much just straight up dinosaurs.

Didn't get as far on Don as I wanted:



Have I mentioned yet how freaky-looking turtles are?

Finished Leonardo:



Started on Donatello:



My plan is to base each Turtle off of a different kind of real life turtle. Furthermore, I'm trying to match the Turtle's personalities to a real turtle. So since Don is the team scientist and used the weapon with the most reach, it made sense to me that he would be a tortoise, which have stockier limbs.

I'm planning on making Raphael a scary-assed snapping turtle, and Mikey will be some kind of shiny, smooth river turtle/surfer stoner.

Quick note on the blog, I have now posted more times in the last nine days than I did all last year!
