TMNT Week at :iconillustriousbits: comes to a close!

this one is the most important drawing this week and i saved it for last! this is the first sketch for a TMNT fan-comic i'm cooking up called Secrets of the Ooze, which is a retelling of the second Turtles movie (a.k.a. the one with Vanilla Ice :XD:) with my own spin on the story and characters.

the biggest thing i'm adding is a 5th Turtle, Artemisia (Artie for short), named after Artemisia Gentileschi. she's the shy worrywart Turtle and her weapon is the bow-and-arrow (i always felt like each Turtle's weapon was part of their personality, so Artie's had to be the same: she's too trepidatious and nervous to get in close so she strikes from afar, and when she does she is exact and intuitive). my Turtles don't have masks, they have natural face markings; they construct their weapons from junk and scraps; and there are some other new things i'm inventing that the Turtles discover about themselves and some new things in their origin.

the other characters in the comic are the ones from the original movie, April, Splinter, Keno, Shredder, Tokka, Rahzar, Dr. Perry, and i'm putting Casey and the Utroms into the story. :D

i'm not exactly sure when this is going to happen, i'm hoping next year, i'm hoping i can squeeze a page a week into my schedule and run it as weekly webcomic. it'll have a loose sketchy style like this drawing, it'll probably look just like this, since i won't have time for anything more rendered or refined. but i think that'll be cool, it'll be totally for fun, raw and rough.

special shout-out to *kyuubi-fox-demon for the support and for inspiration on Artemisia's markings. :tmnt1:

You could put out kickstarter for this! Your work is amazing and I would love to have a hard copy of this thing. Though coming to think about it, since viacom owns the franchise that might get you in trouble... I don't really know how all this works :\

Anyway, looking forward for this :D

i could probably do a Kickstarter campaign, Andrew Modeen did an IndieGoGo campaign for his TMNT: Odyssey book drawn by long-time TMNT veteran Jim Lawson and hasn't run into any trouble, but i'm still wary. even if there was no money involved it's still legally infringement, and i want to play it as safe and respectfully as i can.

i want this comic to be as low-profile and as low-key as i can keep it, so i don't think i'd want to print up any books even if i had the opportunity or clearance. i don't want to make any money on it. so it'll probably be just a plain old webcomic right here on deviantart. :tmnt1:

when I first saw Artemisia I thought that you might have been using the character Venus De Milo. Then I realized that wouldn't make sense cause I was pretty sure she wasn't in the 2nd movie just the old TV show. I haven't seen it in years, but now I have a reason to watch it again. The movie I mean. I haven't seen much of the TV show ever.

yeah, Venus wasn't in the 2nd movie, but Artemisia wasn't either! ;)
