#7: Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo & Donatello: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ti7MRMy8BA
...you know, that tag line always confused me. "Heroes in a Half Shell." They aren't in a half shell, turtles have shells that in case their entire torso... just felt I'd mention that!
So yeah, one of the earliest passions I had in life was the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I'm sure that's nothing new, just about any kid from my era and a bit before loved these four pizza munching reptiles, still they were some of my earliest obsessions and I felt it only appropriate to add them into this. Frankly, they should probably have a higher ranking if only due to nostalgic value but honestly, I'm just kinda winging this one! I guess it still fits though, these days I'm not as big into the TMNT. I've gotten older and realized how bad the original cartoon was and... pretty much 80% of the other incarnations were, but they still have a place in my heart. Of course, I've also come to love the original comic series as I've gotten older, which had stirred a resurfacing of love for this peculiar series so I guess things just go in cycles.
Some of you may recall that I drew these versions of the turtles before. Just sort of my own reimagining of them (Hey, it's a lot better then Micheal Bay's at least!) and it was nice to go back to that; maybe you think it's a bit much, but I like it. It's amazing though, to look back at old art when you're drawing a new version of it and see just how much you've improved. I drew the original pictures of my take on the TMNT and 5 -years-ago and I remember thinking they looked good then, now i look at them and I just feel like J. Jonah Jameson looking through pictures of Spider-Man, is all crap, but in that it's really reassuring to see obvious improvement in your own work. Sort of did a little combo of both the original comic style and the later, color coordinated one, since with clothes I could color theme them, while keeping just the bandannas red. I dunno, I thought it looks neat. I dunno, it's a lot of fun to draw them this way, I may do more at sometime in the future.
